inFamous 2 Announced!

Archive: 30 posts


These are the details, taken from www.gametrailers.com

Contrary to popular belief, Cole MacGrath is not younger, but simply just redesigned with a new voice actor voicing the role. And since this is still the same ?ol Cole, you will be expanding on your powers from the first game, and build upon your current awesomeness.

Sucker Punch promises there will be bigger bosses, a cleaner morality system, and more diverse, varied areas around the city, which happens to be New Marais (a fictional New Orleans). The rumored online play, however, is still on the drawing board and could be a possibility.

Lastly, melee combat is said to be in the game, and in addition to scaling buildings the old fashion way, you can now use makeshift objects to help you traverse the concrete jungle. Maybe using ladders across the tops of skyscrapers? Power cable swinging? Hopefully E3 answers this mystery.

Note "build upon your current awesomeness." This could mean that you start the game with all of your current powers and just earn new ones.

Looks amazing! I actually like cole's redesign; I couldnt like him much with all the grumpiness, though I dont think I will feel more "identified" with his new identity, either!
Anyways, I'm extremely glad to hear that we'll get a sh*tload of extra powers, specially the ones regarding Cole's mobility!

Hmmm he looks different, like a different person and a different setting. I was talking to a friend before i saw this and came up with the idea that in the sequel...er...prequel...hmm..anyway in the next one you would play as kessler or kesslers story up until he is killed by himself or he uses his power to go back in time. We thought that would open up a different set of wild powers to unlock and make for some great gameplay.2010-06-10 01:59:00

How could they work it into the story that he somehow randomly changes into a completly different person?

I really want to buy this game. It will be amazing.

Although he has a swasticka tatto on his neck

Excellent. I loved the first game, and I'm sure the sequel will be just as good if not better.2010-06-14 02:02:00

Thank you! Guess they finally realized how stupid it would've been to redesign Cole.

Sounded like ever other developer diary. We're awesome because we can do x which if we were handling a different thing we wouldnt be able to do and our sequel is going to have these things that differ from the previous one.

BUMP!

Hey people, I believe that many of you will be interesting in seing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA2pC39KbzE

Oh, and I'm actually cool about changing Cole back. Now that I think about it, when you've gone trough after all Cole went, suddenly turning into some kind of cool teenager wanna be isn't exactly a sense making move.

They still don't have ragdoll physics, which makes it kinda feel outdated in that aspect. :/2010-08-29 15:54:00

True, and it doesn't look like they are gonna change that. A shame, in a game like infamous, with explosions everywhere, it'd be very cool if they were to implement that. Oh well; the rest of the game does look darn good, anyways!2010-08-29 16:05:00

Yay old Cole, there's only one way to celebrate his return..

Wow, this video looks impressive (even more impressive than the Happy Joy song )

I'm sure even Chuck Norris can't run faster I really should've bought the fist one... The demo was pretty good.

i recently went back and played through on full evil side, completed in less than 2 days pretty fun to go on rampages, but what concerns me is that at the end cole is talking all ba******* and saying the city is all his. So how do they take this villian cole and transition back to a good do-er? In that video there was'nt a HUD to show karma a map or even your energy cores, and it seemed he was using good side stuff, ( a little bumbed to see him using all the same attacks, i hope that changes when he encounters the sphere again) im interested to see this transition (and the "beast" :O) as for the melee weapon, i like that they gave you a reason to use melee the weird one hit kill claws were nice but still sitting at range was better, the weapon looks a bit odd though, like he took something out of a mad scientists lab and stuck it on a stick be cool if as you progress you can upgrade it so your not dragging around that dinky toy-like zapper the entire game. anyone have an idea about the release date?2010-08-29 18:18:00

Answering your questions:

-There is no transition to a good do-er, as you said. They are simply showing the game in "Good/hero" mode. You can choose if you are evil or good, like the last time.
-There was no HUD because the vid is a demo where the HUD hasnt been incorporated yet, as simple as that.
-The weapon looks perfect to me. It's a bizarre as cool!
-The release data is said to be 2011, but nothing more was specified.

Btw, I don't wanna sound nit-pick or anything, but could you please use, well, comas, separated sentences and even paragraphs from time to time? It'd really make reading your posts much less of a problem. Thanks in advance!

>_< uhg yeah, sorry, at the time I was using the PS3 browser (still am actually) and had no keyboard and was rushed to boot. Btw you may wanna choose some words more carefully :O you made it seem that you think I always blissfully type like that (which you may) and that reading it was a big inconvenience (which it could have been ).

- Already had a clue of that but what I meant is if you start nuetral, how did Cole get there. If its just choose good or evil at the beggining, well then... :/
-Figured, still want to see it
-Meh, its interesting, wondering whats the story behind it
-Then lets just label it as "soon" and wait, just like every other game

EDIT: I could do without ragdoll, still would add alittle fun factor to blasting enemies

Hi pals! I thought you'd like to see this incredibly long panel of Sucker Punch, developers of infamous at PAX.
Be warned: its extremely HILARIOUS. I nearly laughed my head off.

I didn't mind the new look. But it does seem better that Cole looks something like he did from the first game

I really like the look of this so I'll probably get it. I've only played the demo of the first game though. Do you suggest that I buy the original game first?2010-10-09 09:46:00

If you enjoyed the demo you might as well pick it up it's quite cheap now.

A few new screen shots
