The first Gameinformer cover Cole looked like a douchebag. What superhero would trim his beard like that? That thin line of hair that goes from his chin to his ear is what I am referring to.
I like the new-old Cole fine, and this must rank as one of the most nerdiest arguments on this board!

This. I'm fine with any facial changes they want to make (except meth-head, monster-brow Cole, the revision right after Larry), but it's awful to see them ditch the full head of hair for an "our-engine-can't-render-hair" buzz cut.
Sucker Punch, there's only one solution: character creation tool + three or four preset options. Do it. We don't care if the comic-book cut-scenes don't match the in-game model. It's either that or Day 1 DLC with alternate models. I'll pay $1.99 for full-haired Cole but only if I can use him on my first run-through. After that, I'll be used to whatever version is in the box.

Seriously Broken? Sucker Punch doesn't deserve this non sense. They are going to make a hell of a game despite all the bitching and the complaining going on about the player model. At this point they can't win.
Honestly, its to a point where I could careless what Cole looks like. I wish everyone would feel like this so we could move the fuck on and stop having this discussion in every damn Infamous 2 thread. Its ridiculous.
Hell, I know every time I see a Infamous 2 thread I am going to see you post that one damn picture and talk about how you wish that was the model they would stick with. I love you man, but Ugh. I can't believe I am going to have to put up with this shit for another 6 months when this thing releases (or longer depending on the release date).

Irish said:No, because SP is allowing the critics of every piece of information they release to design the game for them.It just seems like they're trying to design it as they go in order to appease people. I don't know, it's hard to explain.
You do realize this is ridiculous right?

People cry "bullshots" because the game isn't going to look like that while you are playing.
Higher resolution, more AA, better image quality.
Not that I have a problem with this. Most games are presented this way and it's fair enough that developers/publishers would want their games looking as good as possible.
Most of the time when real screenshots are released people are quick to comment about how bad things look :lol

Cole looks like a douche!
Cole looks bland!
Cole looks generic!
Cole shirt sucks! His shoes sucks! His pants suck! Why a scar! Why the tattoos! Why no hair! I mean Jesus Christ it's just a video game. Play it, enjoy it, and stop being petty little girls.

I loved the original inFAMOUS, and this is looking great! I can't wait for inFAMOUS 2! I don't care if they decide to make Cole into the ugliest dude in the world. I'm still gonna play this regardless of how he looks, because I know Sucker Punch is gonna do a badass job on this game
Can't believe people are being so picky about this.If you let little things like this get in the way of your enjoyment of the game, then damn..

Hey, these screens were expressly about Sucker Punch announcing that this was the model they were sticking with. You didn't see me go crazy in the one thread I created for the game earlier in the week showcasing the revised intro from the Eurogamer Expo, did you? I was very civilized there. I only talked about the model in this thread because that was the whole point of the screens. It just angers me in the same way Naughty Dog angered all of us by doing what they did to the U2 MP months after release. I just think SP is paying too much attention to those few people who like to complain no matter what, similar to those who wanted ND to make U2 more like Call of Duty.
Of course, SP also released information about that new power that allows Cole to use up all of the electricity from a car to launch himself into the air. That's pretty bitchin'.
Speaking of that other thread, I remember you saying you couldn't see the revised intro due to a 404 error or whatever, so here it is:

Hopefully, that discussion will be about how fucking amazing the game is. The new powers keep getting cooler and cooler and the environments are looking absolutely spectacular. I can't wait to see just where they're heading with the story at that.

Make that every Infamous 2 thread on Neogaf. I feel the same way. Infamous 2 threads are an embarrassment thanks to these type of discussions and arguments.mysticwhip said:

Being angry about gameplay is one thing, and that is what made U2 MP fiasco so angering.

he looks like some generic QB from NCAA Football 2010 or something. The newer guy might have looked a bit "Douchier" (which I don't get, but whatever) but at least he had some personality.
Horrible. The original i2 model was much more appealing. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1178/4726633904_2f07d97394_b.jpg
I didnt care for a minute that he didnt look like the original game's character. I really hope we can change that shirt too.
Oh well I guess.

Well, I seriously doubt anyone is going to be complaining about the character design when they are playing the game. I know it's going to be flat out amazing, just like the first game. I didn't give a crap what Cole's design looked like when I was playing the first game, because I was so much in awe.Irish said:
Oh, and thanks for posting that G4 Environment video. I never saw that. The environment modeler is hot! <3
I really need someone to visually define 'generic'. Whenever I look at these threads, it just seems like the word is just used haphazardly. How many different haircuts can a character have vs. what's not considered "douchey, drug-addicted, or anime-like" seems to be the question. I mean he can't look like 'you', he can't be a pretty boy, he can't be ugly, he can't be bald or have a low-shaved head, he can't have a beard, he can't be buff, he can't be too skinny, he can't have scars" If Cole is an everyday guy who lucked up and got super powers, what is he supposed to look like? What's not generic?
So much of people's idea of 'generic' is so ambiguous...if only there was some way or some requirement that made people visually illustrate what they thought generic looked like and what non-generic looked like.
I don't have a problem with people not liking a certain look or design. You like what you like, but I wish we had more context for what people are getting at. As far as which Cole I prefer...I could run with any one of them, cause I know the game will be great, and mentally, I know whomever I'm playing with is "supposed to be Cole". Outside of that, I just want his clothes to match.
That said (super tangent)...Infamous really looks great. Visually, its leaps and bounds beyond what they did with the first. I'm really interested to see how they've improved the morality system. I'm not one of the folks who have a problem with binary choices (as everything in games boils down to that anyway...its an illusions of choice otherwise), but I like to see how that's matured. I'm also wondering how they're going to handle boss fights and the 'evi' pathway...there's just alot of details to get to. We expect new powers, new story (obviously), and upgrades to what already had (which would honestly be good enough), but what about stuff we haven't even anticipated...I'd love to hear more about it.

In a video game context he looks less generic just because he doesn't look exaggerated in any way...the DmC bitching was pretty justified, but here, none of the designs of Cole looked particularly amazing, but that doesn't matter, he is supposed to look like a "normal" guy and he does here...

They should
make him look more like Kessler, a bitter man on a mission. I mean cmon, Cole's last of words in the first game were that he's never been so alone.

inFamous 1 Spoilers:
I think their paths have diverged so much already that there's not a big chance of looking all that similar, even though they are the "same" person. The way of a person lives their life heavily affects the way they end up looking. Sure, genetics are important, but there are a lot of factors in the environment and lifestyle choices that can change the way a person looks.
Eurogamer just put up the video of the conference that Sucker Punch did at Eurogamer expo, alot of cool new footage in there!

Great!
The part when Cole rises the car and throws it, is freaking awesome!
WOW! Environments continue to look better with every video. Also, the lighting looks fantastic. It makes the lightning look incredibly good. The parkour is still just a bunch of jumping though. :/
Also, those Static Thrusters got an insane range boost. You can pretty much fly forward forever.

I hope there are characters in this one who aren't irritating. The game was great, but there was only one character who didn't suck and

I was wondering about this. So they did change his VA. Good, because his old voice was stupid. Why does a courier sound like Solid Snake?luxarific said:
I agree that the original redesign was a great design, but I can see why fans wouldn't like it. He looked nothing like Cole. But Infamous 1 Cole looked like the missing link. I'd still prefer the original redesign.Jinfash said:

Sounds dumb to gripe about it but yeah that design is horrendous compared to what they had originally and I must have completely missed the boat on the fan outcry over the GI reveal. I do not recall that at all. Especially not as much as the backlash has been for this uninspired garbage.

The texture for his hair looks... well like a hedgehog. Other than that looks like Cole. I'm digging the scars.

I want to know where the fuck where all you guys when this game shipped? Jeez, we get the same god damn comments regarding his looks but I bet two thirds of the people complaining haven't even played the game.
