New inFamous 2 Details: New Marais, Amp, Fresh Skills
inFamous 2inFamous 2 is gonna be a blast. In fact, it'll be so much fun, we really want to fast-forward time so we can play it now.
But in the meantime, we'll just have to make do with more details. Sucker Punch's impending piece of action awesomeness made a big splash at GamesCom last week, and Kotaku learned more about Cole's new look and fresh location. If you didn't already know, inFamous 2 will take place in the bayou-like city of New Marais, which is why Cole sports a t-shirt and jeans; the leather he wore in the original would sorta be suffocating in that environment, right? Then there's that new melee weapon, which is called the Amp; we saw it on display in that explosive piece of gameplay we saw earlier. So in the sequel, there will be more of a mix of long-range and melee combat, as Cole can now juggle baddies in the air and lay the smackdown from a distance of two feet or two hundred feet. Personally, I like sniping, but whatever.There's also mention of one of Cole's new skills: the Kinetic Pulse.
Basically, you'll just be chucking very large objects at nasty enemies. It's sort of like Telekinesis on steroids and it's an example of one of Cole's new non-elemental powers. ...the more we know, the more excited we become.

Is it wrong to say I'm anticipating this more than Resistance 3? 'cause I am!

I love how "playable" the first game is. The controls feel so right, and the powers are real fun to use.
Having started Assassins' Creed 2 after having played Infamous, I definitely preference inFamous's controls.
I also know it'll be another game custom engineered to utilize SPU resources.
Double awesome.

Every bit of news on this game is definitely worth it. Very excited about the next installment! But how are these new ice powers going to work, I mean, ice turns to water, which doesn't mix well with Cole. (Which I know all too well from numerous jumps into water - most games you just get mad that the devs wouldn't let the character swim. At least Cole has a good reason)

Well there is thunder-snow. Has something to do with negative ions in the atmosphere or something like that. It's late and I'm running on fumes so sry for the lack of a better explanation.

Seriously though, loving the new badass moves Cole's getting.
It's what will make killing baddies more interesting.
I hope that it's not random though. I hope these moves are important in some situations.

And the chafing would get so hot.
/BONUS: The metal rivets in jeans would conduct Cole's amazing electricity and hardout purge his skin.

*** inFamous SPOILER WARNING *** They should let all of us have Kessler's ability to skip through time so we can play this. *** END SPOILERS ***
This game is going to go straight past awesome and into unchartered territory. The original was a game that I'd been anticipating since I first heard about it, and as soon as I clocked the ending I turned to my sister and said "When is inFamous 2 coming out?" Every time I read more I become more impatient. I just have one question: Where do all of Cole's new powers come from?
Peace.

if sony want to treat a 20 year veteran fan like a cash machine than they can take this game and every other one and shove it where the sun dont shine!

But playing Saboteur was a whole different story altogether, seemed like I was getting vertigo every time I got up somewhere real high.
***SPOILER****
Especially up high on top of that cathedral, or while climbing up to the very tip of the Eiffel Tower, just so I could dive off into that small pool of water for a freaking trophy.
