Thrakier said:I don't know, I thought he had a very strong character. He was just a very introverted character, so he was more observing and always holding back a little. However whatwas a major blow of fate and it really should influence his character. Cole isn't meant to be happy, he is kinda tragic (like many other super heroes). Considering what he went through in the first game and the whole situation, it's just a joke to design him like an always happy extreme sports guy. That was one of the most stupid things I ever witnessed in the history of gaming. Really.happened with Trish

bizatch said:I liked Cole's voice actor in the first game. SP should have brought him back.
Redbeard said:I was thinking that with InFamous 2, they were making strides at improving the characters. I was open minded to the idea of completely changing the design in favor of something more distinct and appealing.
The look they had for Infamous 2 is better than Nathan Drake.corrosivefrost said:How is Nathan Drake distinct and appealing? :lol
:lol Yeah I want the old new model back.ZephyrFate said:I thought the newer design was actually really hot and turned me on. The old design is a fucking assrape of ugly man.
corrosivefrost said:I was told old VA was not brought back because he was a confirmed child predator?
Sucker Punch was even pretty open about this. They didn't pretend there was a new vision or story reason for the change, just that people didn't like the original Cole they designed, so they made a new one that people would like.Segata Sanshiro said:New Cole only existed because they were trying to appease focus groups. Why do you guys keep pretending he was anything other than that?

wouwie said:Exactly how i felt about Cole in part 1. And somehow a big reason why i loved inFamous so much (that and the game being tons of fun to play ofcourse). Recasting him as a happy extreme sports guy felt, for me, as throwing away a big part of the soul that infamous had.
.ConradCervantes said:I don't care about how generic Old Cole looked, I just want continuity between the games. New Cole was more eye-catching, but it was such a drastic change that didn't seem necessary at all.
Sucker Punch just needs to grow a pair and stick to their own vision.
Segata Sanshiro said:Furthermore, they actually did change his character design a bit after the outcry. Check out WW Link in the debut trailer
JohngPR said:I never had a problem with the new designs look, it was the fact that it was a totally different person, facial structure and all.
If they keep a similar look, but actually made him resemble Cole from the first game, I'd be happy with that compromise.
Or he looked like a character actually worth playing. Old Cole is generic as white bread.Stat Flow said:FUCK YES.
That new kid looked like a douchebag.
Great move

SolidSnakex said:There was actually quite a bit of complaining when ND changed Elena's model. Even though all they did was make her look more like Emily Rose.
ZephyrFate said:Or he looked like a character actually worth playing. Old Cole is generic as white bread.
He's a bald white dude and new dude was planned to be like... a redhead, at least, at first. I like that. Plus he fit the 'feel' of the game they were going for.obonicus said:How is he generic? Or more specifically, how is he generic in ways that the new look isn't?
That was a great change.AAK said:To all you guys hating on Sucker Punch for changing Cole from their original vision, where was your hate when Naughty Dog did the same thing for Elena in Uncharted?

Or he looked like an extra in a Vans commercial. Old Cole was worth playing, because we all played it.ZephyrFate said:Or he looked like a character actually worth playing. Old Cole is generic as white bread.
spwolf said:dunno why people say Cole was bland - i certainly remember him and I played demo only.
He also looked bad ass... new dude looked like he was getting his nails done.

Old Cole looked cool to me, too. I liked his gaunt facial features. This "OMG BALD GENERIC" shit has gotten out of hand. Only problem I had with Cole was his voice... sounded like a grizzled soldier rather than a down-on-his-luck everyman.

He just didnt look dangerous enough, no street cred, more like some pretty boy from suburbia.
Loudninja said:Really? how are people seeing that in the new desgin? that makes no sense at all.
If Elena had looked like one of those in Uncharted 1 and then looked like another in Uncharted 2, I'd have found it equally annoying.AAK said:To all you guys hating on Sucker Punch for changing Cole from their original vision, where was your hate when Naughty Dog did the same thing for Elena in Uncharted?
How is the situation even remotely similar? If Sucker Punch wanted to change Cole's look BEFORE the first game came out I don't think anyone would complain (because his original look is shitty anyway). The problem is continuity. If everybody already played with original Cole you can't just turn him into Justin Timberlake for the sake of it.AAK said:To all you guys hating on Sucker Punch for changing Cole from their original vision, where was your hate when Naughty Dog did the same thing for Elena in Uncharted?
