inFamous 2 Gameplay: Telekinesis, Destructability

Sucker Punch brought inFamous 2 to the PAX event this past weekend and if it weren't for the Duke Nukem Forever insanity, Cole's latest bout of awesomeness would've stolen the show.

This is three minutes of straight-up gameplay from the highly anticipated sequel, complete with the overhauled hero. You'll notice the differences between this Cole and the one in E3 gameplay video; it's still not the original character, but it's certainly better. However, that's hardly the point. Just check out this clip and try not to drool...right around the 1-minute mark, the good sh** kicks in.

There's even a challenging boss fight included, and that alone is enough to get us excited. But we also like the new melee weapon - known as the Amp - and the destructability of the environment adds to the overall immersion factor. So much of New Marais is going to bite the dust in this one; it might be a lot more fun to be evil this time around!

That's sick. I was thinking yeah this looks pretty cool until he levitated the truck and tossed it. That sold it for me. They can't possibly make a mad sequal to this so this is a day one purchase for me. I don't need more footage, I don't need any reviews. All I need is to know whaich credit card you want. This is a must have game.

Ok just watched it again and am wondering a few things. First, what the hell was that hairless wookie thing? Second, I don't see the meter that lets you know if you are on the path of good or bad. Do you still have a choice with the different powers going the path of whichever role you choose or now are you just a "good" guy that occasionally does bad things? It could have just been left off the clip but I figured I'd ask.
Lastly, I know Cole was in the city the first time around but there were tons of stuff to climb on and almost everything you saw you could scale and the eviroment was massive. I'm wondering in this new setting will it be the same or a lot less since this is more along the lines of country.

I cant believe finished the first game and not once thought about Static Shock, it was a cartoon on a few years back, it was brilliant, basically a guy with electric superpowers.. if cole ever electrifies a a round piece of metal and starts using it to fly around they are just ripping off the cartoon then hehe

The telekinesis, and character models, and upgraded visuals, and Uncharted 2 CQC animations don't seem to me as exactly subtle. More like jaw-dropping! But yes, I agree, the game carries much from the first, as it should...it's a sequel with more of what we love! I'm terribly psyched, I'm thankful for Cole being back (even if sadly Jason Cottle doesn't make it back), and I have a strong suspicion that this will be my GOTY for 2011.

The new gameplay video excited me so much I played inFamous earlier today so I can get my kicks. Now I'm just hoping the enemies in inFamous 2 won't be as deadeye accurate like those in the first one. They can hit you no matter how far you are.

One of the biggest improvements is the inclusion of non-human enemies. It pretty much justifies the presence of the dodge button, whereas the first game only had you needing it during one or two of the boss fights.

Not really, if you played the game in a higher difficulty dodging could save you many many times.

Though I agree that it's the best way to dodge crazy/non-human enemies. But even without them dodging was still important.

That vid rocks. Sucker Punch pulled off an impressive graphical overhaul. I like how the aiming reticule turns into an electric ring when an enemy is in range. But no heads-up-display? Hmmm...

That "telekinesis" looks more like a progression of the shockwave move from the original game. The fully upgraded shockwave creates a levitation effect on enemies. Here, Cole levitates the object up and throws it forward with a shockwave. Nice.

I really hope we get that ground-lightning attack used by the white reapers from the first game. If they could do it, why can't Cole?

Now, when do we get to see those ice powers in motion?

If Cole gets to use the ground shock of the white Reapers of the first game should be able to use that teleport dodge they use as well.

It's weird, isn't it? Usually that only happens to me when I boot-up an AAA exclusive and play it for myself for the first time (and every time thereafter like in Uncharted 2's case). But I must say, just looking at the vid right now, I have a wide smile on my face right now that's not budging, either (and no I don't smoke pot, either :)

InFamous 2 looks a lot like the first InFamous. I loved the part in this video where he elevates the vehicles and throws them, that's about it.

Either than that, the game play seems about the same and so does the environment. You would think that they would have wanted to make the game BIGGER, not smaller, in regards to the way the world looks.

I'm sure the game is going to be fun to play, but as for it being better or greater than the first, it doesn't look like it.

After watching the video a second time, this world looks uglier than the one in InFamous (InFamous didn't look ugly by the way).

Now I'm starting to wonder...why did they even pick this new place to begin with? The place is a run down ugly town. No beauty or awesome scenery to get lost in, such as Uncharted.

Let me put it this way. Uncharted was a fun game and I loved playing it. Then I played Uncharted 2 and it tweaked everything the first Uncharted did right. Then it added a new bar of complete awesomeness on top of it...simply known as Uncharted 2.

If this game doesn't have a single scene like the wrecked train one in Uncharted 2..then where's the growth in the franchise? If it does, then I'm all for it.

I'm still adding this game to my collection simply for the fun of it. Rock on InFamous.

You do relize there are more parts to the city? That appears to be swamps outside the main part of the city. It is based off of New Orleans which is a very diverse city. Anyways I am certain it will have an entire extra layer of tasty goodness on the already tasty cake that was inFamous.

I haven't watched a single inFamous 2 trailer, and it's still a guaranteed D1P for me. Hell, it became one on its announcement. The first one was simply amazing, and the way it informed you of The Beast was mad. I only hope that Cole has some of the powers of his enemies of the original, like Sashas mind control thingy, or Kesslers teleport. Actually I don't care. The original is enough to inform me that the second will be awesome, regardless of what they do to it.
Peace.

beside that I can see the game running great with much better visual effects but still I dont know what the need with all these extra powers for Cole like Telekinesis and the ice thing ,I think he maybe missed up with all these extra powers

Damn, I had this gut feeling through most of previous months that I needed to play this game, it's probably because I played the inFamous demo a couple of times every day last summer, when I was home alone, so now summer reminds me of inFamous.
I just can't wait for this GOTY.
Actually, I don't want to watch any more trailers or hear/see any more announcements, it'll be a D1P regardless, so I might as well have nothing spoiled at all. Though that might be too difficult...

D1P....

with a Collector's Edition preorder.

Still got my Infamous 1 Collectors Edition. Always hold onto my limited and collector's editions, except Alan Wake. Sony just knows how to make a quality game, so well that the competition's exclusives can't even compete on the same level.

And don't let sales be an indicator of quality. Just Dance on Wii sold in the millions.

If Just Dance can sell that well on the motion gimmick, who knows what levels Dance Central will reach, or Singstar Dance.

... and now to convince the casual masses to trade their Wii's. Let's face it, they don't know about Metroid or No More Heroes, or RE4. Thank God for Mario!!!!

This video is awesome and the game looks great but it is weird to see Cole change his fighting style so much. I think maybe the longer hair Cole version was more suited for all those young movements.

And now I understand why they changed him before lol

PLAY IT! You must. After buying it, on the way home i thought this might have been a mistake. Boy was i wrong. One of the best games this generation. This is the only game i have played this gen that would cause me to loose track of time. No joke, my wife got pissed at me because i started playing one night at 8pm, when i finally looked up at the clock it was nearly 2 am. The game is massively addicting. I think you will be surprised at how good and how much fun the game is over all.

As for the story, i think you will need to play the first one to get the events in the second. There is a lot in the first to take in. One of my favorite stories this gen.

Same sentiment as mine. I played the demo, but wasn't blown away. A few months later, i bought the game used, and after a long night session, I returned the game, and repurchased it brand new. The gamestop employee looked at me wierd...and i was like what can i say, i have to reward great developer. It's a surprisingly addictive game, and one that will grow on you very quickly.

You just gotta give it a play!
And if you already tried the demo, it wasn't 1/10th as good as the game itself is.

So far, I've spent about 57 hours on just "Good" Cole alone, and still have 2 up=link missions left to clear his good side.
And I'm sure that I'll put in at least that much time in once again too, just re-playing it as the "Evil" Cole.

The biggest thing about this game is that you had better make sure you've got nothing else on your plate to do, and no work on the next day, cause they'll all go right by the wayside as as you lose all sense of time while playing.
I started off just planning to play an hour or two, but found myself doing nothing but marathon sessions, cause it was just too addictive to stop.
InFamous is "Crack on a disc".... always leaves you wanting more(but it's GREAT crack)!

And believe me, inFamous is a drug that time is very well spent on.

For the Greatest Hits price, you can't go wrong.

And if you don't like it all that much for some reason, at least it was cheap. haha

Really though, if your at all interested inFamous 2, you can't go wrong with the first game. If you don't find it as much fun as i did, do what i did with Ratchet and Clank. Rushed through Tools of Destruction to get the story so i could play A Crack in Time.

Infamous has a good enough story to warrant at least one play through. My only warning is some of the side missions can get tedious but those are optional.

That's what I was worried about. From the surface the game seemed to be really focused on electrical powers. I hadn't heard much about a story until I started reading comments from regulars on this site. If it has a good enough story then I wouldn't mind diving into it. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't buying a Just Cause game amped up with electricity!

I suspect SP wouldn't get rid of the arm option. For one, that would seriously limit camera angles in battle. I just think that whoever was giving this demo, prefered the left hand.

It's even better to see the hype over inFamous 2 growing. I'm really excited to see Sucker Punch listening to their fans. This gameplay shows that they do. The moment I heard of a sequel for inFamous, I was already sold. But getting footage like this demands another playthrough of the first!
We've definately got a GOTY candidate for 2011.
