While the gameplay looks great, I still can't get used to the new Cole. There should be a rule against, you know, redesigning a character from the ground up and making him look nothing like the original. I hope Sucker Punch reverts back to the old design. 
 
Also, electric tornado.

Play the first one. It's only $29.99, you can just download the whole thing from the PlayStation Store without ever leaving your couch. It's a great game. Honestly, it puts games like Crackdown and Prototype to shame (though I had a lot of fun with Prototype, too). 
 
Unlike a lot of open-world games, inFAMOUS is story-driven and has a cool one at that. So I definitely recommend playing the first. You've got plenty of time before inFAMOUS 2 ships anyhow.

Wow.  This looks to be almost a big a leap in quality as from Uncharted 1 to 2.  Don't get me wrong, Uncharted 1 and Infamous 1 were both great games, but this just looks amazing.

...what the hell does Bertrand say after Cole says 'You're going to take me to Wolf, now!" I can't make out what Bertrand says.
 
Anyway, looks INCREDIBLE. Can't wait for this, everything looks improved...besides Cole...
 
EDIT: Oh, is that a new power at 1:40? Kinda like lightning sticky grenades or something? I'm liking it.

It's almost as if Infamous is doing an inverse Prince of Persia Trilogy character arc.

I think he says something like, "I'd be more worried about my head", or something like that.

whaaaaaaat!?!?! that looked amazing! but was it all really ingame? the animation when he gets hit by the chopper missiles and gets up looks strange.
 
in any case looks like even more fun than infamous 1. but new cole looks and sounds pretty young, which sin't necessarily good or bad but it's certainly weird to see.

Gameplay looks sweet... but am i the only one bummed out by the new voice acting of cole... The original voice wasn't the greatest, sounded a bit to much like solid snake, but stil.  
  
Plus the new Cole looks like something out of a cheap japaneese game.... 
 
Still gonna buy it though.

But yeah, it looks great. The movement seems much quicker and smoother than the first one.

The animation looks SO much cleaner in this game than in inFamous 2, and the scripted stuff looks great. inFamous 2 just went to the top of my list for "Most Anticipated in 2011"

that was one of the last types of powers you got in the first game, look a little different here but you could make a bolt storm you could move around, just looks like that 2.0, it was a fun ass power!

Looks great, but like everyone else - the "new Cole" is just so different, he really isn't Cole at all. Here's hoping this is somehow remedied, but I sincerely doubt they will because it could potentially be an unfortunate (and largely unnecessary) blemish on what could be a great game. True that ultimately it wouldn't matter, however it will be something that people are left with after playing the game that just doesn't need to be there as a "problem".

Melee combat will add much needed variety to the gameplay. If it was all still 'i'ma stand here and pew pew my lightning' it would be boring as fuck.  All the changes in the sequel are exactly what I wanted to happen. More color, new character design, some melee, better traversal = vastly superior game.

 MGS4 looks great during all of its cut scenes, so i understand how, given that they make up 90% of the game you'd confuse them with the average at best, in-game graphics.

It looked pretty sweet (and I'm officially finally getting a PS3 tomorrow!!!!) but dude, that voice actor is really annoying (Cole's) is it the same dude as the first game?

That looks fun! Being able to blast across ledges and up pipes looks like it will really add to the fluidity of the traversal. I'm getting almost an Uncharted 2 vibe in terms of improving over its predecessor, too early to tell but I have a very good feeling about this game.

The Uncharted 2 level-of-improvement thing is basically Sony's new tagline for all its sequels.  That's the bar they hope to meet, I guess.  You aren't a Sony PR person, are ya?

Oh man.. What did they do to his voice? You can't just totally change a guy around like that, seriously. I thought the first Cole was poo-man extreme, but this is much worse

I do try to be funny even when I'm shitting on someones opinion :P  I know the hardcore fans think that him having a melee weapon might ruin the gameplay but if you think about it makes perfect sense from a gameplay evolution design perspective.  More to the point it'll probably be something you can either put xp points in to or not.  If people still wanna just pew pew then I'm sure that option will be there.

@Lazyaza: I think the melee should be interesting, as the melee WAS in the first, but it, well, sucked. All this is is a better version of that for the more melee focused enemies, and in that sense, I think it'll be totally practical. And it's not like the melee'l nullify the usefulness of the pew pew. Guns kill Cole fast.

Yeah, except all the cutscenes in MGS4 were all completley in game and real time...
 
Anyways Infamous 2 is looking way better then the first one in every way.
