"Infamous 2" or "Cole Has Hair Now!"

This is an awesome tag.

Infamous 2

So apparently Cole has hair and a less gravelly voice. Guess they'll write that off as the effects of the blast wearing off. Also, seems they have one or two ways to travel, via drain pipes.

But then they also have that weapon used in the beginning of the trailer, which might be an actual new weapon, or Cole can pick up bits of the landscape, (which apparently has destructo-scenery) charge them with electricity, and use them as weaponry.

It looks so much cooler than that Scott Pilgrim game. (That might need a new thread.)

they changed his design back towards more what it was in the first game

Voice isn't less gravelly, its outright sounds nothing like him. Travel does seem improved, though still not great. Person in that video clearly knew what they were doing and still had some slow moments.

Looks like a good sequel though, just improving on what exists. Long as that trailer is abit missleading and events aren't that scripted.

Yeah this looks pretty damn cool alright. Loved the first game, this one looks like it's gona be even better.

As for his new weapon Seil; it's just that, a new weapon. He can't pick up bits of the scenery, he just gets his oversized cattleprod thing. The increased emphasis on melee is looking good though, along with the new powers so you can still wreck the place from range.

I always assumed that the voice thing was his vocal chords damaged during the blast.

Anyway, the game looks great and be damned I liked the new design they showed off during E3.

The thunder-sword and the ability to actually tear apart buildings with his powers are my highlights for this.

I loved the first Infamous but it got boring after beating all difficulties and challenges and I spent my time launching cars into the water with grenades. If this game turns out to be boring after a while there should be more random shit to do/destroy for fun.

I'm gonna buy it.

Considering the old Cole design is gonna come back, this game gets bonus points.

Played the original as a lender from my older sister's friend, was pretty awesome with the Spiderman-esque theme(Great Power, Great Responsibility).

Hopefully I can get this when it comes out.
