| Quote: | In 2009, Sucker Punch Productions released Infamous, a super-powered sandbox game that was a drastic departure from the studio's well-known Sly Cooper franchise. Venturing into new territory paid off for Sucker Punch; the PS3-exclusive Infamous has sold nearly 2 million copies, providing a combination of mobility and electrical powers that makes gamers feel like a true superhero. For Infamous 2, the team hopes to raise the bar even higher. A new look for hero Cole MacGrath is just the first step; a new city, new powers, and a powerful new foe await you in Infamous 2, and you can read all about it our exclusive 10-page story.
After you've satisfied your superhero curiosity, keep flipping those pages to see the issue's line-up of cool features. This month you'll find a column from Irrational Games' Ken Levine, the origins of ClapTrap from Gearbox's hit Borderlands, an interview with Edgar Wright (director of the upcoming movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), and a rundown of bizarre glitches that never made it into finished games.
We've got a ton of previews for big games like Call of Duty: Black Ops, Killzone 3, The Force Unleashed 2, God of War: Ghost of Sparta, and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (including an interview with designer Tetsuya Nomura). You can also read reviews of Green Day: Rock Band, UFC Undisputed 2010, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, and the downloadable Joe Danger.
Keep an eye on your mailboxes and store shelves, because the July issue will be there very soon!
Here's the front cover, showcasing the new design for Cole in Infamous 2... |
JEBUS!!!! I'm also gonaa be reaching here but this is gonna show up at EEE.

Of course it will. It'll be exciting to see what Sony says about it as well.
I don't mind the change in Cole's look (I'm sure there is some explanation) and I'm sure I'll live with it when the game comes out. The thing I'm looking forward to the most from that bit of information, is the new city. Empire City was nice, but I know Sucker Punch will have something much better in mind for the sequel.

For some reason, i though he was a blonde.
Hope they make the climbing look better this time. always annoyed me in the first one.
Also hope they don't make the character seem more like a Nathan Drake character. The design makes me think that they will.

He has gone from looking like every other FPS character to now looking like every other Nolan North character.
Having said that, I still loved the first game. It was even my first platinum ^_____^

I'm okay with it provided but they haven't changed his voice as well.

Really interested to see where the story goes, the ending of Infamous was a pretty big mind-fuck. Just hope they keep the animated comic style cutscenes, they were great.

Maybe it's not the same character this time, despite what they say.

You could be right. That character on the front of the mag doesn't look that much like Cole to me.

Keep in mind it's concept work though. Concept work generally tends to look very different to final models in-game; it's usually just an action shot or artwork used to define certain types of clothing and such. A lot of the Uncharted work is like this, looks very different to the final thing.
Def looking forward to it. Infamous blew me away with its story and ending.

Hot damn!
That was a really thorough and frieking fantastic read.
Welcome to my next most anticipated game, I LOVED inFamous.
This looks like inFamous on crack, with an inflated budget AND immense scope. It already looks like they're hitting all the right notes. Sony is going to pull out all the stops to make this a huge cornerstone exclusive IP, and us gamers on the receiving end are going to benefit from it.
So, we know it IS Cole, and he's going to be a little more personable.
I kind of like that, it gives him more flexibility. A more malleable persona to form and mould as you go, if you like.

I read that whole article and this sounds AWESOME.
I loved the first one and the idea of becoming even stronger than that, wow.
Not sure about this redesign though, I always dislike it when they replace actors. So this isn't any different.

I still have high hopes it'll be a good game, but it seems to be lacking the character the first game had.

People complain about the voice change and all but I am not too fussed.
Look at Resident Evil 5. Weskers voice is different but in the end, noone really cared about it.

Eh, have an open mind about it.
You have to admit, when inFamous came out, one thing that critics levelled at the game was that Cole was about as relatable as a doorpost.
So they do something about it and people still complain.
I'm not rapt that they're changing his appearance entirely, but it has promise.

I like the idea that they'll be creating already ongoing action sequences that you can enter / intervene along the journey, and breathing more life into the city.
I thought one of the biggest flaws that the first had was when you cleared a zone, it was pretty much all quiet thereafter. It was almost lifeless, and I would generally ignore everything around me.
I have no doubts that Sucker Punch will impress us once more!

If Cole's new voice was a facebook group, I wouldn't "become a fan".

New voice isn't horrible. Nice to see they've kept it a little gruff. But it really doesn't suite his new look. They need to make his face look less Nathan Drake more Original Cole.
