1UP: inFamous 2 Preview

Infamous 2's presentation starts, oddly enough, with the game's director, Nate Fox, practically apologizing for its protagonist's new look, which hasn't been particularly well received by fans. "We read the blogs," he says, before reminding us that the game is, "at the midpoint on a two year journey." It's a statement that doesn't actually commit to anything, but we can infer from it that there's a good chance Cole will be getting his appearance retweaked a bit before the game hits.

LordMarius5798d ago

No, Sucker Punch dont give in :(
I like the New Cole, dont change him

Rumor5798d ago (Edited 5798d ago )

they didnt keep one physical trademark between the coles. the shaved head would have did fine!or the track jacket! hell even the color palette on his clothes.....sigh. still day one though!!

edit:well the asterisk jeans can count, also the backpack

blizzard_cool5798d ago

I miss the backpack with the Sly sticker, sad face :(

Lozo5798d ago

the new pack still has sly

SnuggleBandit5798d ago

i like the tats and outfit, not so much his face or hair

gamelova5798d ago

I don't care, Cole looks cool either way. It seems like everyone else has a sexual fetish for the old Cole or something with the amount of complaints everyone is giving. I must be one of the few people who doesn't want to sleep with the guy.

shadow27975798d ago

Does continuity and a suspicion of disbelief mean nothing to you? I could probably adjust to the new Cole, but it's kind of difficult given that this game's story is heavily connected to the first game.

I have a feeling a lot of people will try to go the evil route just to make him look less like a frat boy.

vickers5005798d ago

No! Quit talking, we don't need people like you (who didn't play or appreciate the first game) influencing character changing to the crappy new abercombie and fitch model that is the new cole.

how the hell does a character get a complete make over ( new voice and clothes make a character the same as his first game?GTFO) i hope they add an alt custume for previous fans of the game

maddhatter1235798d ago (Edited 5798d ago )

so did you think the same thing with all the different batmen, spidermen and other super heroes who have had lots of changes?

Colonel-Killzone5798d ago

Anyway I like the new cole. And I can't wait for this game unlike most people who wanna whine and cry about cole. I just wanna see where this story unfolds. I don't mind the change at all.

biggame9015798d ago

Agreed. All this whining and crying is pathetic. I don't mind the new changes regarding Cole. Plus, shouldn't we be looking at the game itself, which is by the way looks incredible, a definite improvement.

Do what you do, Sucker Punch. I have confidence in you guys.

Bobbykotickrulesz5798d ago

The new Cole looks like a regular guy.

A regular guy with badass super powers that is.

Why o why5798d ago

New ones not bad but does that make me a whiner for expressing this?... If its that simple then you're actually whining about whiners.

These aren't real life actors who have to be changed for varying reasons like age, illness, contracts etc its a digital avatar that was fine to begin with. Cole seemed like a normal guy...now we have some teen idol . Still getting this game day 1 so dont get me wrong i just preferred the original cole

A change in the wind5798d ago

New Cole is just fine. Old Cole was pretty bland TBH.

UnSelf5798d ago (Edited 5798d ago )

Old Cole looked like a regular guy, with a regular life. A regular job, a regular best friend and a regular girlfriend. This worked amazingly well because it made the subject matter more relatable.

Now that i think of it, the original Cole was perhaps the most relatable game character ive ever come across. More so than Sev, Kratos, Marcus Fenix, Master Chief, Dante, Nathan Drake, Nathan Hale, Ryu Hayabusa, Mario, Sonic, Shepard, Alex Mercer, Bruce Banner, James Howlett, SweetTooth, Calypso, Cloud, Lightning, Sephiroth, Joe, Chris Redfield, Wayne on EDN III, Leon Kennedy, Shaun White, Soap McTavish, Norman Osborn, Rico, Ratchet, Solid Snake, Spencer, or Donatello

ABizzel15798d ago

People cry about everything, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only who doesn't mind the change nor care. The old Cole could have been ripped from any game with that look. This one has some personality, and a defined look.

UnSelf5798d ago

if ppl cry let em. in this particular case the cry is justified. I must agree eventhough i dont care as much, this new Cole seems way to metrosexual WHEN COMPARED to the first Cole.

However his appearance doesnt detract from the gameplay so im not worried. But idk about everyone else, but gameplay for me includes how the character looks also. Which is why i always pick the most badass costume for my protagonists in the games i do play.

The original Cole was ur everyman which worked phenomenally well for someone who all of a sudden receives powers. This guy reminds me more of Hal Jordan. And he makes jokes too? Yea it seems Trish's death didnt affect him much.

The only thing worst than a person whining is a person whining about the people who whines. Yes, Cole's new look isnt THAT big of a deal but it is still a deal, one which may only ever so slightly affect the fun factor of the game.

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.

Alexious1076d ago

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

-Foxtrot1076d 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

lukasmain1076d ago

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

anast1075d 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.

masterfox1076d 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_drake1076d 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. "

Flawlessmic1466d ago (Edited 1466d 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.

Welshy1465d 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.

Flawlessmic1465d ago (Edited 1465d 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 👌

RedDevils1465d ago (Edited 1465d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1465d 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.

outsider16241466d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt231466d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc201466d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan1466d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty18891466d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1466d ago (Edited 1466d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

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

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

Mr Logic2128d 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.

DethWish2128d ago (Edited 2128d 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 Logic2128d ago

@DethWish

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

DethWish2128d 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

MadLad2128d 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?

anonymousfan2128d 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.

Melankolis2128d 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.

Harkins17212128d 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

This has been going on for years any full game playable yet

EazyC2128d ago

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking822128d ago (Edited 2128d ago )

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 .
