inFamous 2 Gameplay To Explode On GTTV This Week
It will always be one of our most anticipated titles until it arrives, which is why we'll be sure to check out GameTrailers TV on Friday night.
That's when Sucker Punch will debut three solid minutes of gameplay for inFamous 2 and for those lucky enough to have already laid eyes on the debut, it was an immensely satisfying experience. Heck, the footage even has Naughty Dog boss Evan Wells all amped up, and let's not forget his team delivered arguably the most impressive video game of the generation to date in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. GTTV host Geoff Keighley posted a Twitter update that read: "Just saw the inFamous 2 gameplay clip for this week's GTTV- 3 minutes of all in-game footage. Wow!! Don't miss it." Evan Wells was also wowed by the footage and called it "awesome," which is a good sign; the early feedback is obviously outstanding. And based on our love of the original game, combined with what we saw at E3 - see below - we're plenty excited.
Give us the new ice powers, let us run around an all-new city, keep everything as tight as it was in the first game, and we'll be happy. We can even deal with the overhauled Cole, which won't matter anywhere near as much if the gameplay kicks ass...and of course it will. For more, make sure to check out our inFamous 2 preview.

Besides, if the city is as cool as the first game, then Cole's appearance will be the last thing on my mind. The environment and gameplay were the two most impressive things from the first game. As long as they get both of those right, I'll take the makeover.

I'm definitely going to put a survey up in the forums. Just from a perusal of the comments, a vocal majority wants the ol'Cole. A very minor group (no offence to them) wants the new Cole (ok, offend them if you want). And some people don't care either way.
I mean for crying out loud, if they want to change the voice at this point, fine. If they even want to make Cole cooler, fine. But that Starbucks douchebag isn't the answer. For real.

Had they given him new fire powers I'd be like ok, fire and electricity, but electricity and ice, the first time he did that trick must of hurt!
Old Cole looks like he could handle something like that but this new one, I think he'd b*tch about breaking a nail and someone ruffling his uber stylish new hair (which should resemble a fuzzy fro from all that electric static, if not fried off completely).

At least, that's my guess. And I'm basing it off a google search of this: ice electricity.
Edit: And I found an article from NASA that says lightning forms from ice crystals rubbing together in clouds. So ice and electricity are sort of correlated. I guess I'm just bored, but this stuff is kinda interesting.

HAIR: Hair can always grow.
CLOTHING: Anyone can and should change an outfit. This should happen more in games. Cole wore the same outfit for quite some time in part 1.
VOICE: This may require some explanation as the story progresses. Or Just get used to it.
TATOOS: Who's to say the weren't there in the first place.

Changing clothing isn't bad at all, its actually an extremely good idea. But they should still incorporate the original costume into the game.
Think of Uncharted 2 Drake had various costumes but some parts throughout the game he still donned the clothes he became famous in.

The time travel idea is immensely flawed.
Firstly he appears younger, kessler would have appeared the same as cole if that were the case in the first one.
Also, as Cole would be younger this would be before he recieved his powers...so in all, this makes completely no sense.

Biggest cosmetic change was the lightning color. I can understand some objecting to the costume change but it really seems some are trying the hardest to dislike it no matter what

Looks like any normal looking guy to me, just like he did on the first game. Nothing was extraordinary about his looks on the first game. Like i said, you're trying to hard to paint this guy as some character that belongs on Full House.

The new Cole looks like he should be saving kittens from trees rather than wrestling with his morals about whether he acts selfishly or for the greater good.
Look on the bright side, he doesn't look like a total douche bag yet, for that they would have to add chinstrap facial hair.

infamous was and still is one of my favorite games this gen, i really dont want to see infamous 2 feel like a different game.
the radical new look i could handle.
the new added cell shading i could handle.
but changing the gameplay, and giving cole new weapons?
sorry, but that just takes away from the game.
the whole story of the first was cole was given electrical powers by the blast.
now some years later he has magically evolved and some how magically grown new ones?
sorry, but that dont ride well with me!
sucker punch PLEASE dont change infamous 2 too much, please dont screw this series up!
i have had WAY to many of my favorite series screwed up this gen!
RE, DMC, GOW, GTAIV, crackdown, prototype just to name a few.
come on, we have very few open world games as it is the last thing i need is for another to bite the dust!
i had massive expectations for GTAIV, it blew!
i had massive expectations for prototype, it blew!
i had massive expectations for saints row 2, it blew!
i had massive expectations for spider man, they all blew!
i had massive expectations for the godfather 2, it blew!
i had massive expectations for crackdown 2, well have not played it yet but the previews are far less than positive!
why does almost every open world game this gen have to suck donkey balls?
last gen the cream of the crop, the best games of the generation were open world games.
this gen, there the bottom of the barrel!

My only niggle with infamous is travelling. It is the only part of infamous which i hate because cole is so slow and can't go any faster. those static thrusters are slower (good for accurate landing though, so) but if the thrusters had a boost, or if there was a type of quick travel for when you don't want to spend your whole time walking through the streets or jumping over roof tops. Warren can be a b*itch to travel in.

Firstly, no one said they were changing the gameplay, if anything they may add some things but changing the gameplay isn't in the books. I can understand someone being worried about new weapons and such but if the first game is one to go by, the melee combat NEEDS some kind of overhaul, melee was horrible.
Secondly, have you actually seen the trailers? There isn't any cel shading whatsoever in this game, really confused about which video you saw with cel shading

Did Kessler have the exact same powers that Cole did?
According to the future, Coles powers can and will evolve. Scientifically, Magically or otherwise. Only SuckerPunch knows for sure.

you can get around quickly, about half way in the game you gain the ability to grind on train tracks and power lines.
cant get much faster transportation, than being a portable train!
i hope i am worrying about nothing, i really enjoyed infamous as ive said many times one of my all time favorite games!
i just could not stand it being destroyed!

in this one, whilst i prefer the old cole, he is in a new city for a new start, so it makes sense he should spruce himself up from the grumpy potato look. if sh*t gets real bad for him in this game and his look goes downhill with it, then it will be even more appropriate

However, i really hope they give us the ability to choose between the two characters.
EDIT: We haven't seen gameplay yet, so the old Cole may be the evil Karma character layout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've barely seen much of it yet people already have strong opinions about cosmetic changes, even though there seem to be 2 models floating about, cole with hair similar to Drake's hair and Cole with hair more in line to the first game, only its grown out a bit.
Both models are in the video that Ben posted in this article, the second model i mentioned is shown briefly during the scene when he is scrambling from the oncoming helicopter attack. This model is also shown during a lot of the shots thats been released officially so far
