I'm known for (among other things) my relative disappointment with inFAMOUS. I thought the game was "okay" but it could have been far more than it was. Along comes inFAMOUS 2, and a new gameplay trailer that seems to indicate that this sequel IS going to be everything it had the potential to be. I didn't think I'd say it, but this footage makes me excited in my underpants!
It looks faster, more fluid, and way more over-the-top than the first game did. Not to mention, I actually dig the new look and voice of Cole. Gone is the bad Solid Snake impression, and there's no douchebag beard as seen in the first inFAMOUS 2 concept art. I... I really like where this is going.
Things are a tad too early to say for sure, but I am really encouraged by what I have seen here. Sucker Punch may yet make a believer out of me!

Sweet, they're putting more effort on melee. The beginning of the video reminded me of No More Heroes for some reason.
I wasn't a big fan of the first either due many small issues piling up to create one big annoying experience. (Cole scales EVERYTHING too easily and sticks to walls like butter whether or not you actually WANT to stick to them and he STILL can't mount a simple chain-link fence?!)
If this one gives a little more mission variety and fine tunes the iffy aspects of the first game then I think I'll be giving this one a purchase.
Also, why wasn't this trailer at E3? This could've easily helped inFAMOUS 2 win some nods it's way at the very least.
It would've been rather nice to see a character slowly evolve as a human being throughout a series a games, turning from a dark, sulking, unwilling hero, into a light-hearted, Spider-Man like hero that learns to love live for what it is and make sure it's not harmed in any other way.
Instead, our guts get PUNCHED by SUCKERS(got it?) that decided it would've been nicer to break any semblance of continuity. Congratulations.
That Tornado at the end was amazing. And zooming in on melee? So simple, yet it looks so awesome.
Gameplay looks awesome though!
Whoa, chill the fuck out. I never said Prototype invented dudes with blade arms, only that the dude with blade arms in this video reminded me of this:
Now go ahead, tell me I'm wrong again. I dare you, I double-dare you, motherfucker! Tell me I'm wrong one more goddamn time!
@Infamous 2
Despite what sadiztic would have you believe, I think you look like a fun game. Thanks for the video!
goddamit jim stop living in opposite world!!
that was some really impressive gameplay, graphics need polish but thats expected
you know what? i think id buy a bottle of vitaminwater if they promise me i will never have to look at these annoying advertisements, EVERY FUCKING TIME
I'm glad that Cole doesn't sound like a grim avenger with laryngitis anymore. I wish Zeke was dead because the fool sucks. Overll though, it looks much improved from the humble "stop the machine gun trucks" and "find the hidden packagae" or "shoot down the UAV's".
Excited though!
But goddamn does that look awesome. I thought that Cole was pretty fast and fluid in the first inFAMOUS, but now he looks much more powerful and rightfully so.
Also, moral choice. Again?
At least Cole's got some diversity now.
I'm sorry, but I DON'T like his "new" voice at all. It sucks.
