inFamous 2 details hit from GI

infamous22

Details of inFamous 2 are hitting tonight thanks to the latest issue of Game Informer.

News coming in from the states suggests that the game takes place in a new city called New Marais, which is a fictional New Orleans.

Other details are as follows:

  • Cole hasn’t aged either way, instead he is simply re-designed.
  • Cole’s voiced by a new voice actor.
  • Cole will be spending his time in the game becoming a “super-super hero” in order to be able to beat the beast, this will involve him will be ramping up his power from the last game.
  • There are now real cut-scenes as well as the traditional comic strip narrative.
  • You wont just jump up buildings but will construct ways to make it up buildings using objects.
  • There will be some new powers outside of electricity but Cole will still be the electric super hero.
  • Melee weapons feature.
  • Zeke is more helpful.
  • More people, cars and generally more happening in the game.

This is everything for now, however expect a lot more over the coming days now that the US are getting hands on  with their copy of Game Informer.

E3 will no doubt bring lots more information on inFamous 2 in a weeks time.

Thanks, Malekwat (via PlayStation Informer).

“There are now real cut-scenes as well as the traditional comic strip narrative.”

FINALLY!

“You wont just jump up buildings but will construct ways to make it up buildings using objects.”

I don’t understand what they are talking about.

1@ I think they are talking about creating your own climbing path by attaching some kind of objects onto walls of buildings.

@3 and whats the point? In first game it was a perfect intuitive system. My problem was that if you run and suddenly jump he will attach to the near thing no matter what.

@4 There were cut scenes, but they are not so awesome.

Still don’t get why they completely redesigned Cole?

The redesigned Cole sucks.

By all means change his voice… but he looks even more generic than he did before now. I liked the yellow out fit, it stood out a bit :/

First cole looked like a skinhead, and to be honest a new voice,a new look makes sense.

@9
Because in Infamous1:Zeke atk=0,
and Infamous2 Zeke will be more helpful.
…So Zeke atk X 10 = 0 X 10 = 0

Sorry,Zeke.

Definately not fond of the new Cole. I liked everything that they say they’re steering away from in the interview. I liked that he was kind of a gruff angry jerk, even when following the good path. The look was spot on for that, significantly less heroic looking (and as such, much more unique and outstanding) than the usual “hero” type, and the voice matched it perfectly. The new one looks much more like Generic Hero Dude… I utterly hate that, according to the full interview, they’re aiming for an extreme sports star look and sound. Sounds utterly slap-tastic. I much prefered the grumpy antihero.

@16

I can paraphrase on behalf of Sucker Punch

‘Yo, so we saw Nathan Drake and were like… Yeah, lets make Cole him’

I hope the dialogue is up to snuff, I don’t think I can bear to listen to Cole whip out pseudo smart-ass comments every 5 seconds.

@15: I’m saying I’m not happy with the decision that the’re gonna replace Cole. I never said I ain’t gonna give it a chance. Learn to read.

I’m sorry but i gotta disagree. His re-Design is definitely better. Cole looked extremely generic with his haircut and his yellow suit just seemed stupid.

Funnily enough that yellow jacket wasnt even in the game.

But anyway, heres Zekes new look from the mag:

I think there just trying to make cole look like a normal guy, but I like the first games look better, but the sound of the climbing system sounds more realistic and more human, than just tapping X as fast as you can to climb, i think more stratagy will play in climbing, but thats ok as long as it flows, but from the videos from last year, it does seem cool like gluiding on the side of building with wires on outside.

I also think it will be cool to see him transform into a proper super hero.

Is it me or is there a damage system for buildings on this game?
