inFamous 2 releasing next year
inFamous 2 is set for a release next year, according to the game’s recent Game Informer cover story.
Developer Sucker Punch is aiming for a “more emotional, more personal, more physical, more visceral” sequel, according to game director Nate Fox.
The game picks up where the last one ended, with Cole taking on a new enemy named The Beast which arrives in Empire City, where the original takes place. Main character Cole, who has gone through a new look in the game, leaves Empire quicker then a thunderbolt (pun possibly intended).
He soon ends up in New Marais, a southern city inspired by New Orleans, which the developer describes as a “visually and physically diverse open-world playground.”
Cole will come with new powers such as the ionic vortex that apparently “creates a tornado that can even be used to take down helicopters” and there are also new weapons such as electrically charged pipes.
There is also the hint of multiplayer, although there was no actual confirmation of this.
Check out all the details over at Eurogamer, and get ready to learn a lot more at Sony’s E3 presser on Monday.

With E3 Being Hyped starting the 13th, which is today, I think VG247 would be foaming at the mouth with information…Why do they even state it starts the 13th, nothing ever happens on a Sunday, or the Sunday the 13th LOL!

I hope SO much that we’ll see footage or screens from this during E3. I absolutely loved the first one, can’t wait for this. It’s not that much of bad news that it’s not coming this year, wasn’t expecting it at all.
I hope it’ll have some improved graphics though, or maybe even a new engine. As great and fun the game was, graphically it wasn’t incredibly impressive.

You must be on crack. Prototype was the poor mans infamous 2. Not even in the same class.

Prototype had a potential but was a poor Infamous imitation.
Poor story, poor designed city, boring missions, bad graphics and design.
But interesting powers and a lot of cool abilities. Still, it’s very repetitive.

No they won’t because they are busy making Guitar Hero.
I read the cover story and at first I was annoyed that they changed Cole’s look and sound but reading the interview I was more confident with what they are doing with the game.
Cole won’t be losing all his powers like most Superhero games, where something happens you have to start all the way over, instead they are adding more powers to what Cole can do. We will be able to grind power lines from the get go.
I can’t wait for this game, I enjoyed Infamous a lot more than Prototype. It had a lot of potential but fell short all they did is copy and paste a lot of the quests and just use a different enviornment.
