GameInformer July Cover Revealed: Infamous 2

In 2009, Sucker Punch Productions released Infamous, a super-powered sandbox game that was a drastic departure from the studio's well-known Sly Cooper franchise. Venturing into new territory paid off for Sucker Punch; the PS3-exclusive Infamous has sold nearly 2 million copies, providing a combination of mobility and electrical powers that makes gamers feel like a true superhero. For Infamous 2, the team hopes to raise the bar even higher. A new look for hero Cole MacGrath is just the first step; a new city, new powers, and a powerful new foe await you in Infamous 2, and you can read all about it our exclusive 10-page story.

I can't wait.Fcuk YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
As you can see, I am very excited for inFAMOUS 2 as a gamer :)

@GamingSucksNow
Pretty much. I just took a break from creating a PowerPoint presentation and stumble upon this. I had a smile from one ear to the other. I fricken loved the original and I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel.

RedPawn5705d ago

Hahahaha, I can picture you running all around crazy, I'll give you a 1-up for your enjoyment.

young juice5705d ago

i need to change my pants. and burn the ones im currently wearing.

NeoBasch5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

Sony should stop all these reveals. They're blowing my mind. I'm not sure I can take it anymore. What could they possibly have left? They've shown LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, and now inFamous 2. They've even shown off some 3D demos and SOCOM 4 via PlayStation Move. I can't imagine what E3 will be like. This right here is gaming heaven.

This will be the first issue of Game Informer I pick up off of newsstands in some time. 10 Pages! Sounds awesome.

The_Count5705d ago

Sequel to my favourite Open World game. Fuck Yeah!

TOO PAWNED5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

Everything revealed Pre E3, cute

On subject, i dont like new Cole look, it doesnt look like him

raztad5705d ago

@PAWNED

You are too worried about E3 dude. Enjoy those announcements, isnt E3 supposed to be about the games? here you have them, and besides Sony is obviously doing this on purpose. They surely has some more surprises in store.

The_Count5705d ago

I rather they announce the new games now. Why wait for E3? You'll no doubt see trailers anyway. Irt looks this year both Sony and MS will be promoting their motion controllers very heavily.

lociefer5705d ago

Cole is back baby, and ya, the site is hammered , cant see shiet

TOO PAWNED5705d ago

i guess E3 will be for move and PSN, boring! But lets act surprised when they show KZ3,LBP2,Infamous2,Socom 4, etc on stage.

thewhoopimen5705d ago

Sony should keep revealing titles to show how silly Microsoft and the fanboys are believing multiplats are enough. Seriously, 20+ 1st party studios vs. 2 is going to make a ridiculous difference now that all of them have had a chance to figure out the PS3.

Kain815705d ago

Is there any Suprise left from Sony they have announced all the games before E3. The only games that are not announced, but we know ithey are in development are Resistance 3 and Motorstorm 3

Redrum0595705d ago

Actualy I don't think they are gonna heavily focus on move during E3. Don't forget that they have been releasing lots of stuff on move, plus gdc. Instead ov only showing one game over and over and over again.

gaffyh5705d ago

FINALLY, best open world game ever. Yeah I said it. inFAMOUS 1 is the only open world game that I have liked (oh btw I hate all GTAs, but RDR is good), it was the most fun I've ever had playing a game.

It's similar to when I played Jeanne D'Arc on PSP, I hated SRPGs before that, and Jeanne D'Arc is the only SRPG I liked, and I actually think it is the best PSP game available.

THC CELL5705d ago

Looks like its played in London ?

rockleex5705d ago

Before E3.

I expect that they have UNEXPECTED games to reveal at E3!!

Persona 5?

raztad5705d ago

@rock

EXACTLY man. Glad you noticed it. It's clear Sony is having all the expected sequels to have their limelight before E3 and saving the new stuff for the show (Agent, Starhawk or some other new IP).

I'm definitely happy to see LBP2, KZ3 and inFAMOUS 2 announced. Those titles were a given.

DaTruth5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

Leave the waiting for E3 to Natal fanboys, I'll take my info now and be happy knowing E3 will have more in store.

Too bad he's not stepping out of the cover. Now we have to wait to hear about any possible 3D!

OH YEAH .. in all PS3 Glory ..I WANT infamous so bad.. thanks sony suckerpunch for these epic new IP s..

good luck to SP guys

Rumor5705d ago

who the hell is that!?

COLE looks way more badass, with his yellow and black track jacket..and bald head :/

TheHater5705d ago

That is Cole. Don't forget, time has passed between the InFAMOUS 1 and InFAMOUS 2. Cole hair had plenty of time to grow back and he got a new look.

morganfell5705d ago

It's just artwork. Wait until we see actual screens before making the call.

LarVanian5705d ago

Why do people think that Cole was bald? He actually had a little bit of blonde hair.
And I like his look in inFamous 2 better. He looks more casual, which is the look I think Sucker Punch wanted for him from the beginning.

CoxMulder5705d ago

He looks a lot more like Nathan Hale (Resistance) in this picture.

DaTruth5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

Given the possibilities in this game, it could be an alternate reality Cole from a different timeline. They probably don't want you confused when you fight Evil Cole and the other Cole looks more like Evil Cole.

Kessler didn't look the slightest bit like Cole, even in his backstory!

Rumor5705d ago

bodyboarder, i somewhat agree. the v neck kills me lol. (funny, bcus i wear them too, but it just doesnt fit inFamous Cole's badassery :/ )

fedex6825705d ago

Bring it on!

Wow way too many exclusives on the PS3 to count!

Imperator5705d ago

Well that's the reason I love the PS3. So many amazing TRUE exclusives. Worth every penny I paid for it.

morganfell5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

On GTTV, the Editor of GI said he had seen some of the game and was very impressed.

It's the same vid where Pachter claimed Jaffe was making Twisted Metal 2.

Here are my original comments:

"Bigger than Pachter's remarks though are the comments from Andy McNamara at the 2:38 mark. Apparently this is a game no one knows about on the PS3 and will be on the cover of Game Informer.

And if you listen to the way Pachter's mention Jaffe's game, Pachter isn't saying that with any sense of certainty. He states it like anyone else in the public would say it that is guessing. I think the game will be Twisted Metal as well but I don't think that Pachter was stating it with the confidence of "I have seen this and can tell you that is exactly what it is."

If you want to see how wrong these guys are just listen to Gerstmann say that Sony won't push 3D at this year's E3. I wonder how he feels about those remarks now that KZ3 is out - concerning which he was obviously in the dark."

Vid is here:

TheHater5705d ago

Can you link to the video please?

FiftyFourPointTwo5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

BAM! THERE IT IS! Another PS3 exclusive.

Sony must've some kind of a gigantic megaton game up their sleeves for revealing LBP2 KZ3 and Infamous 2 before E3.

nefertis5705d ago

hell to the yes. Playb3yond

Imperator5705d ago

InFAMOUS 2? Amazing. This year's Sony E3 is going to be PACKED. Just think about it. KZ3, LBP2, and inFAMOUS 2 all announced before E3? I can't imagine what Sony is keeping up their sleeves. It's going to be EPIC.

madkrazygames5705d ago

I hope they have some megaton announcement but from looks it, everything is being leaked early. Geez E3 is only a week away, I want to be surprise for something.

Imperator5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

There is a BIG difference between "leaked" and revealed. In this case, Sony has purposely revealed KZ3, LBP2, and now Infamous 2 through gaming publications.

You have to understand that, Sony wanted to reveal this games. Heck, these publications probably paid to be the first to reveal the games.

So again, these games haven't been leaked. They were officially unveiled. It's all part of Sony's plan.

Faztkiller5705d ago

Anybody else Notice how many people are on the streets In these concepts hope it means even more populated streets

mookins5705d ago

I'M GETTING THAT ISSUE SOON! :o)

-EvoAnubis-5705d ago

Man, I'm right there with you. I just happened to glace at my Google Reader on my phone and spotted this. I cannot wait until this game comes out! I wonder if the Beast is going to make an apperance. It's the entire reason Kessler did what he did in the first one.

Oh, and I don't care about spoilers. If you haven't played the first one already, tango sierra. You should have.

blizzard_cool5705d ago

umm... does anyone expect me think that this game should have 4 different endings? I'll explain.

In the first you could have finished the game as a hero or a villain(actually a insane bastard with power issues). That makes 2 endings!
In inFamous 2 you should be able to start as the hero or villain, so that means that the endings should go like this:
Evil start > evil end
Evil start > good end (Cole goes from evil monster to hero, that should affect the story)
Good start > good end
Good start > evil end (same as above)

Meryl5705d ago

cool idea maybe they could ask you to chose which infamous ps3 save to use to start as good or as evil for infamous 2

Karlnag35705d ago

I'm hoping for the gamesave thing too but this looks like it's a different location so the people there won't know if you're good or evil...

Still I guess it could affect things like cole's appearance, move set, dialogue etc so maybe I can still hope :)

I WANT THIS FRIGGIN GAME! GIMME A TRAILER OR A SCREENSHOT OR SOMETHING D:< I NEED MY DAMN FIX MAN!

spectyre5704d ago

to start with the powers you acquired from the first INfamous. Those powers were somewhat dictated by Cole being good or evil. So importing game saves from the original would make sense, wouldn't it?

bnaked5705d ago

Infamous 2, LBP2, Agent, Killzone 3, Motorstorm 3, Resistance 3, GT5, Starhawk, Jeffe's game, the last Guardian, Move, ...

WTF???????????????????

BlackTar1875705d ago

How F'en awesome top 5 game this gen. SWEEEt im to excited to put it in to words.

princejb1345705d ago

day 1 confirmed

Kain815705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

is there any Suprise left from Sony they have announced all the games before E3. The only games that are not announced, but we know ithey are in development are Resistance 3 and Motorstorm 3

FanboysWillHateMe5705d ago

The powers would get better as you went on, unlike in some games where you only bother with a select few abilities. Like some people already said though, they could improve on the enemy and mission variety. Also with those good/bad choices. I'd like a few more situations that are in the grey, where it's tough to tell the good from the bad.

Every time I was about to get a new power for those generator things, I'd be like "They seriously can't get any better..." Then boom, a lightning shield! Then boom, lightning storms! Every button on the controller was put to good use.

sikbeta5705d ago

ico925705d ago

ok let me get this straight in a space of a month sony have announced LBP2, KZ3, and now Infamous 2 weeks before E3.

brew5705d ago

That's a fact , Jack. *Bill Murray style*

drdistracto7075705d ago

I just hope Cole doesn't sound like he has throat cancer this time around

vhero5705d ago

But is it coming to 360?? As Patcher insists there will be no more 3rd party exclusives anymore.

zeeshan5705d ago

WHAT THE HELL IS SONY UP TO? I mean KZ3, LBP2, SOCOM 4, GOW PSP and now Infamous 2? Ok, I hope they are not shooting themselves in the foot. E3 is all about software and I really can't even imagine what they have planned for E3. Either Sony is going to NAIL IT or they are going to let MS walk all over them come E3. I am guessing, SONY has something big and I mean BIG planned because unless you have a monster of an announcement up your sleeves, you DON'T announce AAA games days before E3!

garos825704d ago

seriously, the only reason i check out e3 is to hear about games. does it make a difference if they announce the games 2 weeks before e3? not really but i forget how you guys want ti "win" e3. it makes no difference. im just happy sony is providing us with quality games for the years to come

Ilikegames765705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

then LBP2, then InFamous2. What's next Sony? I'm getting excited thinking how many unannounced games Sony is going to reveal on E3. For me, getting to play GT5 this year is enough. The others are just icing on the cake.

mantisimo5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

I think that's Coles son and he probably has to fight evil cole with a bit of time travel magic! I know I know that they state its a new look cole but I was just wondering out loud.

gtamike5704d ago

better not have a cheap cartoon look

Dude4205704d ago

Played through it twice with the good powers and the bad powers. I gotta say, I found the dark powers much more satisfying. It also looked cool to have a mix of red and black lightning when you took the extra power in the end. I wonder what InFamous 2 will offer.

Just don't put ponytail on him.

NYC_Gamer5705d ago

every week sony reveals another exclusive...

Pennywise5705d ago

E3 is going to be crazy... They HAVE to be saving a few announcements.

guitarded775705d ago

Well we can probably count on Resistance 3, Motorstorm 3 and Starhawk to be announced as well as some big ass surprise. Sony has to have something they're saving... maybe a new IP.

JAPS3KHLBP145704d ago

It would awesome if they revealed Uncharted 3. The graphics in U2 were amazing, imagine how great they would look in U3.

Sevir045705d ago

The Last Guardian, GT5, WKC2, Socom 4, FF14 online, DCUO, Ape escape PS3, eyepet, Move, 3d, i'm pretty sure some new exclusives and some surprise showings of some unannounced sequels to other games we know are coming. I'd be happy if this isnt the year of sequels but it seems to me it is... Infamous 2, KZ3, LBP2, GT5, WKC2, Socom 4, TLG, .... FUCK!!!! I cant take it anymore!!!! E3 get here NAOOOOOW!!!!!!! this is just amazing, they are announcing Really big games before E3, Jack Said it himself that this Year's E3 will be the biggest ever for them< i think this year they are going to convince an ass ton of people that the PS3 is THE only Console you need to own. After a momentous year with MAG, MNR, FF13, Heavy Rain, GOW3 Yakuza 3, and 3d Dot Heroes, they are ready to take the rest of this year by storm...

I cant wait.

inFamous 3: We Want A Second Son Sequel

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

Alexious968d ago

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot968d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

lukasmain968d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast967d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox968d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake968d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic1358d ago (Edited 1358d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy1358d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic1358d ago (Edited 1358d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils1358d ago (Edited 1358d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic1358d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2

Latest RPCS3 build brings major improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more

A brand new version of the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3, brings major graphical improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more.

Game-ur2021d ago

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic2021d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish2021d ago (Edited 2021d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic2021d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish2021d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad2021d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan2021d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis2021d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17212021d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
