In inFAMOUS we told the story of Cole MacGrath, an ordinary guy who gets superpowers. This time around in inFAMOUS 2, Cole starts out as a full on superhero and only gets more and more powerful. It’s more visceral, brutal and personal experience that commands you attention, making you feel the part of the superhero in every decision you make… be it for good or evil.

Get ready for the hell of a fight right off the bat. At the beginning of the game Cole meets a civilization ending villain who’s too powerful to beat. Looking to get stronger powers for a rematch Cole is forced to head south to New Marais, the town where the Ray Sphere was designed and built. Like I said, Cole starts out the game as a superhero over the course of inFAMOUS 2 he’s going to become a super super hero (that’s right double super).

If you check out the new trailer you’ll get an eyeful of steamy New Marais; it’s a town inspired by the great cities of the American south, particularly New Orleans. My father grew up there, when I was a kid he would tell me stories about the place: man eater alligators, creepy buildings, jazz music, river boat casinos, above ground cemeteries, and people going crazy at Mardi Gras. He made the town sound larger than life, full of overpowering beauty and scary stuff in every alley, what better place to set a superhero story?

While watching the new trailer you’ll also get a glimpse at Cole’s new threads, the perfect outfit for jumping across rooftops on those humid New Marais nights. Actually Cole’s going to be doing a lot more than jumping this time around; his parkour and electrical powers continue to grow, providing him with more and more ways to fluidly race through the city.

He’s also picked up a fine, fine new weapon to bash enemies with; it’s basically two heavy pipes with some stored up electrical charge between the poles (sorta like the world’s biggest cattle prod). Laying into villains with this baby is exactly the kind of thing I’m talking about when describing inFAMOUS 2 as more visceral, brutal and personal. You can feel the pain Cole is dishing out when the weapon connects with a enemy’s skull.

Anyhow, there you go. I look forward to posting more stuff once we have it ready for the public. inFAMOUS 2 is the biggest, baddest game Sucker Punch has ever tried to pull off… stay tuned for more from on inFAMOUS 2 in the near future.

I loved the first one and am excited about the sequel...but...I'm not liking the redesigned "trendy" Cole. I read about this in the most recent edition of Game Informer as well. It's a definite buy for me and hopefully their new version of Cole isn't lame.

yea i think the other Cole looked better then the new one. They also changed his voice i believe

Should be a awesome game the first was one of my favorite games so i'm pretty excited to see what this one's like

I'm looking forward to smacking people upside the head with that electrified club he's carrying in the trailer. I guess that'll take the place of the gigawatt blades unless they're just adding that to the mix. I'm not real sure why you'd need more than one melee weapon but who knows what that thing's capable of!

New ICE powers!!! Yeah I liked the first one. Maybe they can make his original character an unlockable skin. I definitely liked the first guy better, as now they're just trying to imitate Nathan Drake's look.

i think i read some place that they going to make him look like inFamous 1 Cole

They are. After getting an overwhelming negative response to their 'new' Cole they've stated they're changing him back. I read it on 1up.com yesterday.

I couldn't find the 1up article I read it on but found this one on kotaku.
