Gamescom: Infamous 2 Insanity

"He's still a middle-aged white male with a buzz cut. Off the top of my head I could name 20 other protagonists that look exactly like both versions of Cole. He was already the visual representation of a marketing cliche. It's much ado about nothing if you ask me, but the gesture is nice."

This was the right call.
Very pleased that Sucker Punch made the change (back to the original Cole). The udpated pics are spot on.

Pretty geared up for this one!

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5697d ago

They both look generic but this is the Cole we know and love. And he doesnt look half as generic as the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Cole.

Why o why5697d ago

and you'll be labelled a whiner so be careful;)

Persistantthug5697d ago

Call me a WINNER instead.

"Off the top of my head I could name 20 other protagonists that look exactly like both versions of Cole."

I agree that he's pretty generic looking, but I'd love to watch this guy struggle to name even 10 characters that look the same as Cole lol. Over exaggerating much?

badz1495697d ago

SP introduced new & fresh Cole but many fans were disappointed with that decision and now SP brought back the "old" Cole but from what we've seen, looks like just an old face replacing the new body! hey, I'm not complaining because I am good either way but please instead of how the main protagonist looks, why don't we discuss how the game will play, how the story will proceed, what new enemies are you going to fight, you know...GAME stuff, not just LOOKS!

DaTruth5697d ago (Edited 5697d ago )

But it's just a damn haircut! Why is the dude forced to keep the same haircut forever? For all we know his hair just didn't grow back from the Raysphere accident.

He had long hair in family man Cole alternate universe.(Kessler history)

Edit:There was probably a purpose for it, like you get to The Beast and he is(possible spoiler) bald Cole, but now it's ruined because nerds have too much time on their hands!

Where did that gameplay demo video go?

tinybigman5697d ago

to me i was still buying the game day one like i did part one.

yog-sothot5697d ago

Besides, I've got nothing against bald characters... Well, maybe that's because I'm bald myself ^_^

Anyway, I'm glad they kept the character design of the first game, for coherence sake... I'll add that maybe Cole's hair would be all pointy, he's full of electricity after all !

erathaol5697d ago (Edited 5697d ago )

Really didn't mind the look of the 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater Cole' but I really dislike the new Voice Actor. His voice lacks the intimidation/strength that the old Cole had. They're refusing to change the new Voice Actor and so its going to be awkward now with a new voice on an old face.

I at least hope they allow the discarded redesign to be an unlock feature, kind of like Naughty Dog does with their unlocks.

StarScream4Ever5697d ago

Does the guy still sound like he needs a water in Infamous 2?

colonel1795697d ago

I don't know why the say it looks like Colonel Shepard? Is it because he's bald? Come on, so that means that every character with a mustache looks like Mario?

I don't really see the similarity, but to each his own.

OT: I really like the new change. This Cole looks like an improvement over the first game, but it conserves what made him great in Infamous 1. The E3 model was fine, but that did look like a copy from Drake. Is like they wanted to hang from the success of Uncherted 2 a little bit.

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

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

-Foxtrot1036d 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

lukasmain1036d ago

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

anast1035d 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.

masterfox1036d 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_drake1035d 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. "

Flawlessmic1426d ago (Edited 1426d 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.

Welshy1425d 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.

Flawlessmic1425d ago (Edited 1425d 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 👌

RedDevils1425d ago (Edited 1425d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1425d 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.

outsider16241426d ago

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

seanpitt231426d ago

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

Luc201426d ago

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

The_Hooligan1426d ago

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

moriarty18891426d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

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

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

Mr Logic2088d 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.

DethWish2088d ago (Edited 2088d 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 Logic2088d ago

@DethWish

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

DethWish2088d 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

MadLad2088d 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?

anonymousfan2088d 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.

Melankolis2088d 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.

Harkins17212088d 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

EazyC2088d ago

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

Gamerking822088d ago (Edited 2088d 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 .
