The interesting thing is that, many criticized Cole's look in the first game, because he looked like The Apprentice, from The Force Unleashed...which was actually based on the actor (that did his voice) Samuel Witwer.

Yet, now..he looks more like Samuel Witwer than Cole from the first game.

 

[blazinglazers]

Can someone pls post a link to the Sony conference stream?

 

[Dyno]

Infamous 2 is one of those games should have gone with a new character and new powers. Cole is fine and all but his story was fully enough told. They should be building a stable of supers in this franchise.

 

[wind_steaker]

I like how even the GI cover has thugs on rooftops sniping you, probably the thing that annoyed me most in the first game. Off to a great start!

I liked this because they seem to be missing!

 

[DevilWillcry]

I see what you did there :lol

 

[Bad_Boy]

Can someone pls post a link to the Sony conference stream?

well done. :lol

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Cole is fine and all but his story was fully enough told. .

Uh no it wasn't. Did you miss the entire point of what happened in the first game?

 

[AndyD]

YEEEEAAAAAA-

What the fuck is that!?

Took words out of my mouth. I love Infamous, but that the hell is that?

 

[paperheart]

Wow, I love the way Cole looks now. *swoons* So hyped for this game, it's crazy. I totally loved the first one, and now there is going to be a second one. I hope they don't change his character model, because I think he looks really awesome now.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

I really like the new art style (judging by those pics), but I don't like how Cole looks. I really liked the first inFAMOUS despite some of its major flaws.

 

[abstract alien]

Can someone pls post a link to the Sony conference stream?

I almost pissed myself. Almost.

 

[onken]

He looks so camp there for some reason.

 

[deepbrown]

He looks so camp there for some reason.

Nail on the head - exactly why peeps on Gaf don't like it. They want their manly, grizzled characters so they don't feel 'weird' when they're playing

 

[jetsetfluken]

What was wrong with Cole's original voice actor and why did they have to change it?

Dammit. I liked it. Gritty.
Hope this new one isn't a Drake-alike.

Spoiler

Or even voiced by Nolan North!

 

[Drinking Hatorade]

loved Infamous so i'm very excited for a second round. i'm not very fond of that GI cover's art style though. I enjoyed the "gritty" feeling of Infamous so I hope it returns. If not, maybe the new style will be even more enjoyable.

InFamous 2: The ballad of Cole McGrath?

That guy looks exactly like the force unleashed one

 

[Danielsan]

Digging the new look, never liked old Cole's face.
Reminded me too much of what's his face from Resistance.

 

[Kagari]

wtf? Infamous 2 not big enough for e3?

I told you, the whole show is dedicated to GT5.

 

[TreIII]

Overall, I like his new look. But I didn't really care for inFamous as much I wanted to, so I'll be cautious about this one, for now.

 

[LOCK]

That guy looks exactly like the force unleashed one

That is him and he voices the character.

 

[Danielsan]

I told you, the whole show is dedicated to GT5.

The whole show is dedicated to Move and new IPs.
Sony has clearly been showing of their boatload of sequels pre-E3 in order to focus attention on what's really new at E3, as well as nicely spreading out coverage on their existing franchises.

 

[Metalmurphy]

That is him and he voices the character.

Oh... Well that explains it

 

[Totobeni]

wow I really hate the face in that art , they turned Cole into a douchebag , I hope the in-game model is not like that.


and we wearing full black instead of black/yellow now , meh.

What was wrong with Cole's original voice actor and why did they have to change it?

wait they changed the voice actor too ?

smh

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

Are people really getting their knickers in a twist because Cole no longer looks like yet another generic angsty bastard? While I wouldn't want him to go the full Nathan Drake route, a little bit of charm would be a welcome development from the completely unappealing cunt he was in the first game. Easily the worst thing about InFamous was the awful trying-too-hard-to-be-edgy dudeness of the characters.

new ips? no jaw dropping on E3 this year.

whats better than this killzone 3 teaser? better than little big planet 2? infamous 2?

please god sony.... show GOW4 XDD

 

[Stumpokapow]

Gran Turismo 5
Infamous 2
Crackdown 2
Halo (4)
Socom 4
Gears of War 3
Resistance 3
Fable 3
God of War 3
Socom 4

Year of the first party sequels. (yes, yes, i know, alan wake, heavy rain)

I suspect most of the original IPs from MS/Sony this year will be Natal/Move related.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

please god sony.... show GOW4 XDD

By now that's the only first party game from Sony I'd care about (unless they reveal some awesome new GoW 3 DLC). Which means it won't be there

 

[Y2Kev]

That's the most incomprehensive mix of styles I've seen since Perfect Dark Zero.

So....new orleans?

 

[RockmanWhore]

The colors of the street makes me think of Blur. :lol As of Cole, the new look doesn't fit the character at all, I'm sure it's a new hero or something. Unless it's some kind of prequel, this new Cole looks younger than in inFamous 1

 

[BeeDog]

Added two missing ones. Yikes at the amount of sequels, but I don't mind it at all since I loved the predecessors for most of the listed games. It makes sense business wise too; lay the foundation with the former game (oftentimes technologically speaking), and then enhance the gameplay aspects and reap the benefits the former game provided.

I think they just want to give their "hardcore" games a space and lil attention by announcing them before and after E3 , since they will probably focus on Move/casual games at E3.

That would be good thing, I might not happy if one of the sequel become Move/Natal-only title.

And I like you cos you listed Socom 4 twice

 

[Buckethead]

 

[Y2Kev]

I don't think Resistance 3, Infamous, or KZ3 are out this year.

 

[yencid]

seriously?

 

[OnimaruXLR]

Well let's see

My biggest complaint about inFamous is that it devolved into a typical third person shooter at points

And here we have Cole, who's been taking fashion tips from Nathan drake

HMMMMMMMMMMM wasn't this supposed to be a superhero game? My favorite superhero is Spider-Man, not Hancock. Or the poozers from Heroes. Or like, that dude from Jumper.

 

[Kaako]

[Takuan]

I prefer this look over tracksuit Cole. Don't mind the makeover. Different outfit options would be nice, but if that's the only one he has, no biggie.

Looking forward to screens. Hoping for nicer graphics!

 

[iceatcs]

At least we haven't see near all of their gameplay footages, all we got pictures/teaser.

since when is resistance 3 a first party thing unless sony decides to take it over from insomniac
also halo isent first party

 

[Danielsan]

I don't think Resistance 3, Infamous, or KZ3 are out this year.

Resistance probably will be.
Insomniac needs to put out something this year and there's no way that they're going to release it near Killzone 3. I also highly doubt that their multiplatform title is ready for release this year. Infamous 2 is probably summer 2011 and Killzone 3 is clearly Q1 2011.

Of course that still leaves Motorstorm 3, Man Furismo Jive and LittleBigPlanet 2 for this year,
I suspect we won't be seeing The Last Guardian untill March 2011.

Considering the game is probably going to use an all new engine chances are pretty good that it will look significantly better.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

they made cole look like a sucka

still hyped for this tho

 

[NeoUltima]

Old Cole design was lame, new design is only slightly less lame. I could care less either way. I'll just take a fun game like the first, thanks.

 

[RockmanWhore]

Resistance probably will be.
Insomniac needs to put out something this year and there's no way that they're going to release it near Killzone 3.

Insomniac don't need anything, they confirmed that they will spend more time making their games now.

 

[Castle Doctrine]

He actually looks like one of those characters who you can't quite tell whether they're black, white, hispanic etc...to try and please everyone. It might just be from this picture though.

 

[TSAGoodness]

I don't get all the hate, that cover looks sexy as hell, I can't fucking wait for this game.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I did like Cole's voice in the first game... but I trust in Sucker Punch, as long as they deliver a killer game in the same style as the first one while fixing some of the flaws, count me in.

 

[Baha]

Not a fan of the new look but I'll give SuckerPunch the benefit of the doubt. Chances are that they'll win me over when they release a trailer or gameplay footage.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Resistance and Halo aren't real first party titles since they are made by independent developers but they are first party published. Most titles this gen aren't true first party titles even the one this thread is about.
