bullshots (redonculous AA). but you can tell it's gonna be a hella impresive looking game for an open-world-er. i'm psyched to play it anyway, but i'd love it even more if they revealed co-op/3D (or both)

Yeah it looks good, much better than inFamous 1...based on gameplay videos.

I just hope this time around they can add different outfits we can wear, seeing the same stuff gets really annoying.
Also, NEW GAME+, it is crucial for a game like this.

I want to play a game I beaten with everything I have unlocked and just kick ass, I would be greatly dissapointed if they dont add these this time.

It's funny.. I don't really hugely mind the tattoos. For all we know he might've always had them.

I'm just sorta questioning his taste in tattoos. I mean really? Stars?

i liked the tech/mirrors edge style tats he had before he got his head shaved and got a "i'm a bad ass" scar across his face.

weirdly, the recent images show different tats. some show the stars on his right arm, others show a set of stripes going around his arm? maybe it's not finalised?

With a face only a mother could love he needs the bad tats to take the attention of his face.

hero edition revealed by amazon
We often sit at our desk pondering, “Y’know what this work surface needs? A Cole McGrath statue.” Not really, but that’s a brilliant lead-in. As discovered by the Examiner, Amazon has unwittingly revealed a collector’s edition for inFamous 2. The “Hero Edition” — which leads us to believe there will be an “Antagonist Edition” too — includes a bunch of goodies, including an 8.5? statue of protagonist Cole McGrath. Adopters will also net a soundtrack, comic, replica sling pack (no idea!) and a super voucher including the following in-game gubbins: the Lightning Hook Power, Electrocution Grenade Power, Kessler Skin and a 24k Gold Amp weapon variant.
the fact there is a kessler skin leads me to believe there will be unlockable skins within the standard game too...meaning a possible infamous 1 cole skin, a possible cole with hair skin, and maybe even a sly racoon skin. would be cool.

sounds like a good collection,

cole's iconic backpack
statue
soundtrack
comic
skin
additional powers (lightning hook sounds interesting)
and 24k amp (kinda lame)

price it right and i'm in.

it's the one and only thing that has stuck with the character in both games.... it's iconic to the character..... it's an iconic backpack.

I think the stripes on the pants and the black/yellow shirt is the most evocative of Cole of old.

i dont agree personally. and the devs obviously dont either since they made the new cole black and white untill everyone complained. but the ONE thing that stuck....the backpack.

Yeah, and it's weird how Sam Fisher is all prepared with a backpack in Conviction and yet it was before that that he had gadgets coming out of his ears. He was probably like "ooh another mission.. game.. thingy.. I know just the thing!" *buys fancy backpack* and then it turns out this was the one where they DIDN'T shower him in spy stuff.

I was about to post that hehe.

But man I am so hyped for this one, animations are fantastic, and the way Cole uses the powers now is just awesome!
Animations are less jerky and annoying than Infamous and now is more human like realistic which is much better. And the way he uses his hands to do various power attacks is smooth and fluid which is great.

Graphics are IMO leaps better than the first one, and the music sounds muhc better too.
It has that superhero orchestral music you year in DC and Marvel games which is great IMO, I could never enjoy the stuff that was in the first one, much kudos to Sucker Punch!

Definitely can't wait to buy it.

Only thing I wish they could do is to have alternate outfits and New Game+ thats it!

PS. Cole definitely can do badass stuff in the game with his powers!
Like I said, leaps better than the first one.

there probably will be alternative outfits. there is a kessler skin that comes with the accidentally anounced hero edition. so chances are good that there will be others too.

it does look awesome tho. but then i thought the first game did too.

Awesome news if true!

Though I wont buy any special editions for a outfits, unless the price is like the regular edition, which I doubt it.

Yeah, I'm not really seeing the "leaps" and dramatically increased "badass"-ness Sath has been on about since before he even played the first game, and Amon Tobin's soundtrack for 1 I thought was spectacular so I'm not thrilled with the way he keeps trying to put that game down, but I'm still super excited about this.

i see the additional "badassery" in coles move-set. him being more adept at close range combat already makes everything look much more "bad ass". and surfing on a car only to launch it at an enemy is also pretty bad ass. but it's just refinements on what i always thought was a fantastic game. sath makes it seem like infamous 1 was crap, and the sequel is somehow a billion times better. which isnt the case at all.

btw. that explosion in that gif is very impressive looking. one of the nicest explosions i think i've seen.

By badass I mean he is more "comfortable" with his powers, in a way so he can use more ways of using his powers this time, in both new powers and new animations to make it more cooler.
And he got new devastating powers.

For example climbing up on building he uses the fast route by going to a pole and zips up (thank god, climbing sucked).
Or be on top of a car and levitate it and then throw the car to the enemy, IMO compared to the first one, Cole is much cooler character now when he uses the powers and you actually feel damn badass doing these moves.
He now seems to be like a typical superhero/villain in Marvel/DC world, you can just see how these characters are so "into it" and is so comfortable on how to use them.

Or when using his arms for electricity powers, you can see how fluid he uses the powers from say regular zap to grenades or missile type of attacks, its just more fluid and faster when I see him using the powers, all thanks to the new "fighting stance" and animations.
I hated the running animation and the sound of it, god annoying pretty fast.

The explosion looks fantastic IMO, really great job.

IMO the music of the first one was very meh, maybe 1-3 tracks was good, but it was forgetable and just didnt lift up the action for me.
Call me typical, but orchestral scores will always hit the mark for these type of things, even if generic, they do their job perfectly.

No I dont care if Amon Tobin is doing the music or not, but I have noticed orchestral tracks in there which is nice.
I wish the game supports in-game XMB music so I can play my own music, have some epic trailer music in the action scenes :)

InFamous was always a platformer, you're meant to be climbing. You'll have places where you can zip up here, but just like 1 you'll still have to use your head to figure out the best route. In 1 you'd find a route up a telephone pole and then grind in an upwards arc and jump off it to get on top of buildings really fast.

These games are made to be played, really. If you want an overpowered clusterfuck of a game where everything's made to look cool and they don't even for a second stop to actually balance effort/reward, reducing the world to a set of cardboard boxes you zoom around on top of, then Prototype is readily available.
