Many of you may have read that Sucker Punch showed inFAMOUS 2 gameplay to media behind closed doors at E3 (see the E3 inFAMOUS 2 trailer). Today, Sucker Punch wanted to provide you all with a sneak-peak at what’s in store for the game. Last night, Spike’s GTTV aired a special gameplay unveil of inFAMOUS 2, the evolving story of reluctant hero Cole MacGrath as he journeys to the historic Southern city of New Marais in an effort to discover his full super-powered potential.
As you’ll see in this electrifying new gameplay, Cole has some new melee combat and cool new super powers. Be sure to watch out for Cole’s new super-charged Ionic Vortex.
We’ll have much more to come on inFAMOUS 2 in the coming months, so be sure to watch this space!
The new Cole looks like a Tony Hawk/Uncharted crossbreed/reject and sounds like a Cole McGrawth [inFamous1 wanna-be].
Old Cole was just fine… Wasn’t until now people started complaining about the voice yet no one seems to complain about this guy’s voice and he sounds like a nicotine addict from the age of 3:

I new infamous 2 was gonna look extra kewl but i never new a game could possibly look and be that awesome.
So who is this new person we’ll be playing as in Infamous 2? They say his name is Cole but that’s impossible. Cole doesn’t look or sound like that. Sucker Punch better explain why Coles appearance & voice changed storywise or at least give us free day 1 DLC where you can use the old/REAL Cole skin.
Game looks great, I’m not sure about the new Cole though.
Wonderful!! Truly aamzing!!! *claps*
Looks fantastic, will buy on day one, just recently picked up the original and completed it, had a blast from start to finish, despite constantly feeling like the production values weren’t quite up there with other PS3 exclusives.
This sequel looks to alleviate those concerns, which should make for one entertaining ride.
I will also echo the sentiments of others in that I would love to see Sucker Punch absorbed into the Sony family to ensure the PlayStation brand continues to get the quality exclusive content that I have grown to expect from it.
Nothing beats Sony first party content this gen, no question. I like my 360, but it doesn’t get half the playtime that my PS3 does, keep up the great work folks.
Looks great but I don’t like the look of the new Cole. If the new game could read your save from the first one and change his look accordingly, it would be awesome. This guy doesn’t look nothing like Cole from the first game. And did the sound affects cut out on you guys half way through, I wanted to hear Cole speak.
So Cole becomes a younger brat kid and grows hair. What the heck. Game looks okay, but how do you set that up? Throw old man Cole out the window and pretend he never existed? C’mon!
Funny, for every 10ish persons saying they lie this game very much and/or “1st day buy!”, there is one saying (and thinking it matters for the developers) “Pff, I don’t like the character, I’ll buy it discounted” or “They gave him a weapon? I’m not buying” or some other comments meaning: “For a silly reason, I’ll NOT support this game”… Please, at least have a decent reason for hating it, or at least, don’t say this silly grip will cause the game to Epic Fail when a dozen other people are actually happy BECAUSE of the thing you hate. ¬_¬ You are clearly outnumbered. And when we don’t have quantity, the best bet to win is quality. So up the quality of your comments because right now, they… I won’t say it, against the rule. ;)
Sony doesn’t own Sucker Punch yet? Tisk, tisk, tisk. What a shame.
Epic gameplay, but one thing I noticed was there were no facial expression. If you are going to put the camera close to his face, make him express what he’s feeling, like fear when that helicopter was chasing him, or a sly, “take this,” expression when he made that wind vortex.
I see a lot of complaints about the Cole change but I’m a fan. The original Cole was kinda creepy looking.
i’ll alwayz be a inFAMOUS fan!!
Awesome gameplay footage. Nice to know Zeke is back and retains his original voice actor, too. Cole won’t be the same with a new VA.
For all those those comments about how it looks like Uncharted 2. Sucker Punch have announced that they been getting advices from Naughty Dog. I expect great gameplay, action, graphics, and a lot of explosions!!!
I really like Cole’s new purse… ;)
Thats right Multiplatform sucks …….Sony exclusive is king because its built for the ps3 . I get what your saying nobody can afford all console . But if its not built on the ps3 first its garbage anyways so why would i want to buy multiplatform .
look at infamous 2 …ps3 exclusive it rocks
Can’t wait.
Don’t you guys (at Sony) think there is a serious problem when the PS3 is NOT ABLE to see the video like the one here for inFamous 2?
Your browser doesn’t support the video format that you offer on your own blog?
If the PS3 does the web (like it should) you would definitely get more PS3 units in more homes!
It may be that your really trying to block web sites like Hulu that offer TV online, allowing Hulu and other media sites won’t hurt your business as much as having a crappy browser! Fix the browser!
My god guys.
You’re judging the game by it’s spine. We’ve got what? 4 lines of dialogue from the new voice actor? How can you judge when we hardly have anything? Most of you are jumping the gun.
The game looks absolutely amazing. I am so excited to play this. It looks like it improves over inFamous 1 in every single possible way.
OMG!
love the gameplay, but I hope that’s not the way Cole is going to look in the final product.
everyone needs to chill out about Insomniac going multi-platform or the fear that Sucker Punch could follow them. I’m pretty sure the core people at Insomniac are still going to make exclusive games for the PS3 & the new studio in North Carolina is going to handle the multi-platform stuff.
The best gameplay footage I’ve ever seen seriously. The upgrade from the first game has just blown me away.
Suckerpunch is really showing it’s ability now Sony should really consider purchasing and helping them grow further.
DEAR SONY
PLEASE MAKE AMAZING VIDEOS LIKE THESE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD IN HD VIA PLAYSTATION STORE
I’D LIKE TO SHOW ALL MY FRIENDS HOW AMAZING THE SEQUEL LOOKS SO THEY’LL BUY THE FIRST inFAMOUS.
FAIR ENOUGH?
THANKS.
Looks amazing! Can’t wait..
For anyone asking about why multiplatform is bad…. Any game developed in multiplatform must adhere to the lowest standard for the systems. Meaning that the game will be made to fit the media that has the lowest disc space, which should be Dual layer DVDs, so instead of them having games that can make use of the 50GB blurays, we have to settle with a game developed for 8GB Dual layer DVDs, only good thing is we get our 8GBs in a much more durable Bluray. Way to slow down the gaming industry Microsoft.
loved the first game and going to love the second. kinda hate the whole change of the character but i do not mind the cattle prod, looks pretty cool in my opinion.
This was just plain awesome. The city looks beautiful, somewhat destructible environments, and kick ass cattle prod. I’m not a big fan of the new Cole or his new voice, but it’s still a first day buy for me.
Infamous was one game I just couldn’t stop playing. It was extremely addicting and fun as heck to play! I expect great things out of Infamous 2.
Dude, this game is definitely going to be a highlight for the PS3, and it looks like a worthy successor to the masterpiece that is inFamous.
P.S. WTF? Why does Cole look and sound younger? Are his powers making him reverse, or is SuckerPunch falling asleep at the wheel? I mean, this game should be one of the greats (inFamous totally was) but it makes me wonder if they pay attention to their own work when they say that they have tried to make the game more realistic and believeable, yet Cole looks like he went back in time about 5 years and pulled a Kessler on himself.
(Could’nt they have at least used the same voice acting? He sounds like a girly version of himself(I am so SORRY to say that, it hurts, it really does))
All in all, I’m sure the game will be bad-ass, although when I saw the first screenshots I hoped it meant that you could pick up, electrify, and then proceed to beat the snot out of bad guys with just about anything you choose (guns? maybe gunpowder doesn’t go off this time?), but it would seem that you get the cattle prod or whatever as a primary weapon and cannot change it… unless you can buy or earn new weapons and possibly upgrade them… hmmm.
P.S. What are the zombie things? And also if any of you are interested, GameInformer did an article on the new game, and had a fairly reliable hint that Cole might gain ice powers and possibly others later in the game…^~^
Can’t wait for the game!
Sorry I’m taking all the slots, I’ll try to keep it in one box next time.
COLE SOUNDS LIKE A MIDGET WITH A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX WITH NO HINT THAT THE EMOTIONAL ELEMENTS FROM THE FIRST GAME HAD ANY EFFECT ON HIM AT ALL! HIS GIRLFRIEND DIED, AND TECHNICALLY, HE KILLED HER. AT THE END OF THE FIRST GAME, IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE NEXT GAME WOULD FIND HIM GRITTIER, MEANER, AND MUCH MORE SERIOUS, NOT AN ADOLESCENT ACTING LIKE BATMAN! I ALREADY HAVE ARKHAM ASYLUM. I WANT INFAMOUS, NOT FING BATMAN! @#%##%@@$#$!
Ionic Vortex… one of the coolest powers I’ve seen
Also, on the debate of PS3 and the other console, I think I read an article somewhere that porting from the PS3 or starting with it works better than the other way around.
Uhhhh ya old Cole was betta looking but this 1 has hair and is 20X More powerful… COLBY!!!
they need to do a multiplayer for this it will remind me of uncharted in a sense of gameplay
