[quote=Digital Trends]If you own a PlayStation 3, you owe it to yourself to play inFamous. The original game, a PS3 exclusive, allowed gamers to take control of Cole McGrath, a courier that is bestowed with electricity-based super powers that he uses to try to escape the quarantined Empire City. The game was well received by critics and fans alike, shipping over 2 million copies and inspiring a possible Hollywood movie adaption to be penned by Avi and Ari Arad, the duo currently writing another PS3 adaption of the game Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. So it was inevitable that a sequel was on the way.
When the original game ended (without spoiling anything), you were left with the choice of saving or slaving the population of Empire City. You could be a good guy or a bad guy, but regardless of your choice, your actions directly affected the inhabitants of the city. In the sequel, Cole leaves Empire City and makes his way down south to New Marais, a city similar to New Orleans.
InFamous 2 will carry over the open world gameplay style, as well as the electric based powers, but it will also introduce a few new tricks, such as weapons and wall sliding. Cole also has a new look and a new voice actor playing him. We’ll have to wait until 2011 for more details, but check out the gameplay trailer below for now and enjoy.[/quote]

I'm still wondering how they did some of that
Woah, Cole got his hair back.
Looks really... cartoon-ish.

Doesn't make it bad.
Looks pretty epic, looking forward to more info.
I heard Cole has ice powers now? How the fuck does electric become ice?
I have never played Infamous, or even a PS3 game...
But that was amazing.
Damn, I can't wait. I actually played inFamous twice, evil and good. Evil is way more fun, badass red/black electricity plus you don't have to worry about civilians.

He doesn't, it's still electricity.

For spoiler reasons I won't elaborate, but by the end of the first game you should have gotten the sense that Cole is going to become this big, awesome superhero in the far future. inFamous 1 is kind of the "origin story", so we don't know anything about who Colt is really going to become or if he has more than electric powers.
Footage looks awesome. First one was a lot of fun. I should replay it...

Its intentional, its strongly based on comic books.

Okay, gotcha.
Giggity....
This really looks awesome.
Why am I seeing so many games with mutants in them? For example: Crackdown 2, New Red Faction, and this game.
Is it bad that I'm starting to like Cole's new look?
Cole's old look and voice were better :|
The game looks like it's trying to be serious with mutants and shit but after that it looks all cartoony. Doesn't blend very well.
They should have made it robots or something instead.

The original infamous had mutants too.

I think he meant he doesn't lose his electricity.
