The militia are sometimes seen using Confederate flags, so the game also considers Neo Confederates this. You get a trophy for beating one up, and one mission has you fight a whole crowd of Militia members disguised as them. Sounds like Sucker Punch is going all out for the sequel. Acceptable Targets: The game apparently considers street performers who pose as statues this trope. Im so stoked for this game after reading the big GI preview for Infamous 2. Infamous 2 looks to be a lot more colorful and brighter. I hope more games pick up on this and stop making every fucking protagonist a dark haired slender white guy with the perfect generic face and the perfect young white male voice. Will OG Cole work in Infamous 2 He was gritty looking, similar to the city. I also liked that they fleshed Zeke out a bit more. By the end of the game, I definitely started to give a damn what happened to him and felt a bit of unease at the direction I knew it was sure to go.Īll in all, after playing Prototype and finding it a bit bland (and then not playing Infamous until just a couple weeks ago, because I assumed it would be almost exactly the same), I found Infamous okay and Infamous 2 damn good. Maybe not at the top of the favorite list, but certainly on it. About a month ago, Sucker Punch announced it was redesigning its redesign of Infamous 2s Cole MacGrath. In fact, I went from not giving a fuck about the character in the first game to thinking he belonged on my list of favorite characters after the second. According to the developers, this new design is to make Cole a more. It's just different enough to separate itself from the bland generic-man in every game. The Cole McGrath that will roam the city isn’t a younger Cole, but a completely redesigned Cole with a new voice actor, too. The fact that it was also a tale of old-fashioned companionship between two guys making the best out of their crapshoot world, and randomly taking some cheesy figure of speech and making it a de facto motto for the game, is but icing on the cake.I like the slightly different looking Cole and his voice a lot better than in the first Infamous. InFamous 2 developer Sucker Punch has opted to tinker with protagonist Cole MacGrath’s design to have him resemble his look from the original game as a result of a barrage of fan backlash. Others didn't feel it was earned, or that neither Zeke nor Cole were really being reasonable to begin with.īut in a way, inFamous 2 was able to tell a story from start to finish about a ragtag band of superhero hoorah's just trying their damndest to do right by what they believed, and in a fun and solidly playable manner. Sony released this amazing New trailer today for inFAMOUS 2, showing all gameplay.Sorry quality sucks, will upload the HD version when its availablePla. Some players never liked Zeke much if at all. The same one that, in the inFamous sequel, can lead to a road ending with you going toe-to-toe with your best 'bro', Zeke himself. Take the karma system in inFamous, for one. No matter the reductiveness of some elements. Say what you will, but Sucker Punch is just as invested in their characters as the player is - it's what gives their work such an ember of preciousness, to some degree. It lingers because Sucker Punch succeeds in creating dramatic stakes for characters in narrative turns of phrase that aren't afraid to conjure a proper illusion of consequence, of tension, where it elects to take itself seriously suddenly, in all its cheekiness, even in a kid's game starring anthropomorphic animal thieves. I don’t mind Cole growing some hair as long as he still has the same grit to his face and voice. And yet it is the separation that nonetheless lingers. Well, from what I am hearing about old Cole returning, I thank you, Sucker Punch, for getting away from that awful generic redesign you showed in the first trailers for Infamous 2. Find out why this led to another revamping of the character’s look and what the developer thinks of the remastered Sly Collection. The game revolves around free-roaming through the city. Sucker Punch did just that after it debuted Cole’s redesign for Infamous 2 at E3.
The first game takes place in Empire City, a fictional New York City divided into three islands. The moment you are all banded at the hip once more, it is a warm bandage, wrapped around a fissure alit. inFAMOUS is a third-person action title about a reluctant hero, Cole McGrath, who gains the ability to control electricity in a freak accident that also brands him as a terrorist.
There is a segment in Sly 2 where the main characters are split apart, incapacitated, and you have to rescue them, to effectively 'get the band back together', after a climactic defeat.
