    Looks totally badass. I'm still not sold on the new Cole design/voice, but I'm sold on the gameplay. Looks like they're using the Uncharted 2 approach to sequels: Make everything bigger, better, and more explosion-y/destructible.

    Ugh...his new voice and look sucks. When he was talking to that guy in the limo that was not Cole at all.

    Maybe I should give the demo of the first one another go, see if I can get into it. 
     
    Not a fan of Cole's face, too generic-y and reminds me to much of Drake.

    Gameplay looked like it would take some getting used to, it was pretty different from the first one with regards to melee. Loving the camera swoops and set pieces, though. Not a big fan of the voice, but I'm all right with the new look. I really disliked the look and the voice of the original Cole.

    FAAAAN-TITTY-TASTIC!! His voice actor I don't actually mind too much, though his look could do with a few alterations...or maybe just a complete makeover..

    Game looks awesome already.  I just don't understand the decision to completely alter Cole.  I'll probably get over, and it seems like they'll be changing it anyway.
     
    I hope that tornado power doesn't completely replace the lightning bolt power from the first game.  When you first get to use the lightning is probably one of my favorite moments of this generation of games.
     
    EDIT: Also, where's the HD?

    I like Cole's new look, not really digging the voice though. Gameplay wise though it looks fantastic. I'll most likely pick it up when it comes out.

    The new Cole looks alright, his voice though, I don't like it at all. When he talked to the guy in the limo, ugh, sounded like he wanted to sound like a bad-ass action hero but the voice just didn't fit at all. Imagine that line being delivered by the old voice actor and it immediately gets better. That's what I think anyway.
    The gameplay looked great though and I guess that is what really matters. No ice powers though, I'm beginning to think it may be like someone else said, it isn't Cole that gets ice powers, but Zeke or someone else instead.

    Again, gameplay looks great, but Cole being a totally different character is very stupid.
    Really hoping the developers do go ahead and change that.

    To alleviate this issue they can hire the old voice actor and change his look for "Evil Cole" then nobody would play as good cole

    Technically yes. Also, they need someone other than Zeke. Come on, Zeke is the worst character ever created.

    How would a first-playthrough person know that you're supposed to get hit by the rocket in the road and turn around and do a crazy super-move against the helicopter?
     
    Ignored the first when I had a PS3, but even I have to say the redesigned Cole is dumb.

    This sounds like a pretty good idea which will make both those who like the old Cole, and those who like the new Cole happy.
    If you want the new look and voice, play as a good character and if you want the old look and voice, play as an evil character.
    Would be pretty wierd to have him change that much though...

    It will be in HD when it is exclusively shown on GTTV soon. Until then this is the best quality I can find.

    As someone who does not have a PS3, I really liked the look of Cole with his hoodie. The lack of the hoodie is kind of disappointing.

    I love how dynamic everything looks. It certainly looks sped up from the first game, which is a major improvement in my mind. 
     
    Don't love the new voice (like the new looks ), but anything is an improvement over the gravely, failed bad-ass VO of the first game. 
     
    Kudos to the guys at Sucker Punch, this looks awesome.

    This was probably set up that way just for the purposes of this demo/trailer.  Infamous is an open-world game, so I don't think that kind of gameplay will be in the retail version.  Of course I could be wrong, and if I am, I'm sure Sucker Punch will make it clear what you have to do.

    @Zimbo: Awesome. I just hope they don't make those action-y chase sequences, where Cole was running towards the screen, a common occurrence. Doesn't look fun. On the other hand, lol at the ridiculous ending. That seemed completely unprovoked. Must have just been to show off a certain special move, not to actually show off how that scene will progress.
     
    Edit: I LOVE melee combat in my games. I don't like the slow-mo, however. It's cool at first, yeah. But after awhile, I can see myself just sitting, waiting for a couple seconds while the little animation I've seen a thousand times progresses. It looks really cool!... but the first game's real appeal was in its fast-paced action and quickly satisfying move-selection.
    Example: just climbed a building. Shit! four dustmen! Boom, just shockwaved them off the roof before they could kill me.
    Or: I see a bunch of guys below me. I'm on the train-racks. I lob a couple shock grenades, then crash down on the Conduit, taking him and all his henchmen to the floor. I Shockwave the Conduit out of my way, then quickly melee the last two guys. I run over to the Conduit, kick him while he's down, then strap him to the floor. Just got a nice little chunk of experience, and a lot of satisfaction.
     
    The first game's appeal was in its simplicity and awesome feel. I'm really glad to see melee combat be revamped for the sequel, but I just think that as soon as you start adding slow-motion and messing with the flow, things start to lose their lasting sparkle.

    looks like a massive improvement movement wise on the first. 
    I don't see how anyone can complain about the new Cole compared to the old one. Prototype had a much better character arc imo than Infamous by...well miles. 
    Cole in the first game was a non entity to me. Just a gravel voiced idiot with a number 1 haircut. He had zero in the way of character. At least in Prototype that actually made sense. 
    The powers look great, but since when could anyone take a helicopter to the head and not break you neck? Missiles you can dodge, helicopter to the neck? Not so much. 
    Also, for a good guy he is causing waaaaaaaaaaay too much damage to the city. 
    Not serious complaints, just odd considering the whole good guy/bad guy dynamic.

    Everything is great, except the melee weapon that he uses, they could of gave him something that has a more sleek look to it, instead its all huge and ugly.

    I agree with everyone else I suppose.  Gameplay-wise, the game looks much smoother and is better.  Cole's new VA sounds extremely annoying though (also his neck looks awkwardly big in my opinion).

    Never cared too much for the old Cole, but the change is still pretty baffling.  And what's with the club thing? Shooting rockets from your palms not powerful enough? Looks fun. But seems silly. 
     
    But it's all made up for by wall grinding! Hells yes! I don't really care for the fiction of inFamous, but the gameplay is solid. I hope I can grab this one for $40 on day one like the last one. Doubtful, but here's to hoping.

    I'm not sure if this is suppose to be a joke or not. But if not, you're thinking of Prototype, Cole never had a hoodie. 
     
    But yeah I never really cared about Cole. So I don't mind the change that much, although I have to agree he does look too much like Nathan Drake. I like Drake but we don't need two of them. Still though, this game is going to be awesome.

    The melee combat make it look a lot more like an action game instead of a third person shooter with lightning. I also really like the cinematic stuff. Game looks amazing. I NEED TO BUY A PS3!!!

    I never played the first InFAMOUS, so you might need to help me out here, but why would they change the main character like that? I have NEVER seen a game do that before.

    @RockmanBionics:  Unfortunately the demo was terrible and didn't really show the best of the game. I hated the demo but ended up loving the game.
     
    On a side note, this game looks freaking awesome! It definitely has taken a page from the Uncharted series cinematic wise. Loved the first one, one of my favorite games this generation, hope they keep it on the right track and perhaps find a better voice for Cole by release... :P

    Looks awesome, but seriously the new Cole McGrath sounds (and looks) awful to me. Why exactly did they change him? Did people (or SuckerPunch) really hate him so much? 
     
    I know there was an issue with the voice actor's location, but the look of the original McGrath was great.

    Not feeling the new voice. Not feeling it at all. And it might just be the video quality, but it seems to me the environments lack some of the... grittiness they had in the first game.

    Everything else looks great, though. Well, except the melee. Looks super mashy.
