Seen that is there some new limit to the amount you can use you powers other that the electricity you have he didn't use the hover power much only at the point were you really needed it. it wasn't in the video but i wonder if you can do that wall sliding thing on the ground and the way he propelled himself up on the drain pipe could be good on very tall building to save time. the game looks good and i played the last to a lot, the melee fighting seem better.

Has much been said about the story, the conduits were meant to be a natural thing that the Race sphere made more powerful/common why does this new city have them.

Woops :P Thanks Mods

I really like the style of this game. They seem to have plundered other franchises and taken the best bits as inspriation. Cole now talks and acts like Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series, the camera and action itself looks similar to Batman Arkham Asylum and the New Orleans cityscape almost has a Rapture fel to it.

RAIN

I still don't get why they changed Cole's face and look, I loved the everyman look of the last game. It set him apart from other lead characters; Fair enough he could have grown his hair but did he have to get plastic surgery?

I'm really digging the evolution of the electric parkour though, zipping up pipes etc looks awesome.

Grumpypants

He looks a bit french ! Not sure i like the new look.

I thought the character design of Cole in inFamous was very generic.

This new one really isn't much better though =/

The changing cole so much is really stupid, unless its somehow part of the story.

Looks more of the same, which aint necessarily a bad thing.

Mad looking monster things to tackle.

Hopefully it'l be good

EDIT: Im putting on the first one now, match losing my attention

infamous was great , fluid movement great combat system nice leveling up getting new powers , some of the side missions were very repetivie , infamous 2 looks every bit better than the 1st one and i would be suprised i it werent , still think and online mode for this would be awesome , gliding on wires climbin on building killing people with electricity could work very well

Suckerpunch have said that they changed the look of Cole because they had to change voice actor. Doesn't makes sense to me, but i suppose in the biz it does!

Otacon

Cole was a bit generic tbh. How many bald protagonists does the PS3 have at this stage? [Kratos, Nathan Hale, eh Clank?]

That's not to say the new version is an improvement but we'll see if the look grows on us.

The vastly different Cole shown in the videos of the new game was a startling shift, seeing the man get prettied up and smoothed over.

For many, it crossed some sort of line. Fan outrage was so strong, it turns out, that Sucker Punch is now redesigning Cole again to take him closer to the hero of old. From Comic-Con, IGN is reporting that they have seen two images of the character representing this shift. While unable to reveal any details about the design, Cole is said to be considerably more like his former look. the origional look was good as that's what I would imagine a guy who had voltage pass through his body on the level of what Cole experienced.

What is presently unknown is whether or not a similar change in voice actors will be made. Somehow I doubt it, but at least Sucker Punch seems willing to bend their vision a bit to satisfy their audience.

So Nathan Drake will just have to stay in Uncharted?

Seriously, it didnt really bother me but thinking about it, it was a bit stupid to change the whole character. Hopefuly all turns out well because the trailer looks really good.

Its a win on two fronts, 1 in shows that the interest in the game is at a peak and also shows the kind of commitment behind giving gamers what they want. I'm delighted, as will Gregg Miller at IGN who nearly had a baby when he saw the redesign. After playing through the first one again recently I really connected with Cole so it would be like playing with someone completely different if Sucker Punch stayed on the Nathan Drake lookalike path.

Also, Sucker Punches sly cooper collection is looking sweet, 3 Platinum Trophies included!:D
