inFAMOUS was a game with a few flaws, not least among them being the rather silly voice of main character Cole. He basically sounded like the illegitimate love child of Solid Snake and Dr. Claw, and it made him very hard to take seriously as a character. Well, with an inFAMOUS sequel on the cards, it's been rumored that Cole's voice actor is getting replaced.
The gossip comes by way of actor David Sullivan, who revealed via Twitter that he auditioned as a voiceover/motion capture artist for the new game and dropped the major hint about Cole's new voice: "First voiceover/motion capture audition today for a video game. Re-casting of Cole in the sequel of inFAMOUS. 'I’ll melt your face.' e.g."
Now they just need to rethink the repetitive missions, crackshot enemies and lame superpowers, and we'll have an awesome game. Seriously though, the original had promise and I'm eager to see Sucker Punch get another crack at the whip. A recast Cole is a very good start, so let's see if this change is more than just a rumor as time goes by.

Get crackin'.
Red Faction guerrilla is better.
What InFamous needs to work on are better support characters and a better karma system. I'd like to see a game where I can play as a Chaotic Good or a Lawful Evil.
Actually, I liked InFamous when I played it, the only issue I really had the game was the repetitiveness of the side-quests. I'll be looking forward to the sequel.
Anyone?
Right, just the black guy :(
tell me why do you have to bash the game in that last sentence
i find funny after all the trash talk you do, you make an editorial saying ps3 fanboys are the worst and all that
look its not like i hate you, your a funny guy and shit, but your kind of a douche, so look if you dont want to have ps3 fanboys on your tail you could try to be a little more... subtle
you did your review, you made your "in your face" prototype video and you made your ambiguous artice about "why prototype is blatantly better than infamous" WE KNOW IT YOUR ONE OF THE FEW GUYS THAT DIDNT LIKE THE GAME OK
im not askin you to not have an opinion but if you have that many problems with fanboys as your article said, why dont you try to keep the ASSness to a minimum huh?
btw i didnt like coles voice that much either
see? subtle
KTHANXBAI
And they never seemed to go away either, they could nail you from anywhere.
I could do with more variety in the side missions too, that'd be good.
I agree with all the other stuff Jim mentioned.
Now this whole hard load of shit. The game was not that hard....they were good shots, but remember people you are super charged. You are meant to be a bit more uber then just running along on the ground and then complaining some prick shot you. I found skating along power lines through the city while dodging every bullet and picking off fools as i go EASY. If you got the whole climbing, running, gliding, sliding thing down you could chain that shit up easy. Run > jump > slide on power line > jump > glide > land on next power line > repeat. You end up getting some speed and its easy.
As far as i see it as long as you could get the style of Cole down, the way he moved and his powers, it was easy. The enemies were not a problem. Also for when there is no power lines, or you are on the ground. The fucker can dodge lol Also slow mo shot will save your ass so much for the shooters on rooftops.
And @Kryptinite
Yes, yes i did too lol
WTF?? Aside from the crackshot enemies, I thought the missions and powers were spot on - Enough variety and growth to keep it interesting. More is always nice, but I think there was more variety than your average GTA clone! Take a look at Web of Shadows, where sidemissions consisted of "Kill X amount of Y", and how they evolved the idea in Prototype to "Kill X until Y amount of time or trigger."
I read it as 'racist', but I'm drunk.
Unrelated; raspy, garbly voice garbage makes me want to shit myself. Bale-version Batman, Rorschach, and Gerard Butler in 300 to an extent, etc.... If none of the previous voices irked you or made you chortle in laughter when you heard them, then you're a complacent fuck.
I don't know, if you're worried about continuity- as Korolev mentioned, which is a good point, because when elites went from speaking backwards pitch-shifted marine clips, to somehow speaking english, I had to suspend my belief an extra storey- hire Richard Terfry (Buck65), as even though he does the gravel, he has a slick cadence, instead of snarling like a goddamn moron into the microphone to deliver lines.
I will never let this go. Sorry!
No I thought that too.
A racist main character would have been serious levels of awkward.
Or maybe Jason Segel...
