Wow this looks so much better than the first one and I still thought that was a good game. The new creatures look awesome, fighting those same old people in the first got so boring. I like the new Cole, because I was basically indifferent to him in the first game. He had no emotion. It was so unrealistic. Dude had a girlfriend but never showed any understandable or realistic emotion towards any of the situations. All the VO in the first game felt phoned in. 
 
I don't want him to be Nathan Drake or anything, but anything is better than the first Cole.

Is it just me or did they even change Cole's running animation? They should just come out and say this is a whole new character.

if you are unhappy after watching that vid...then I just don't like you as a person.  Infamous 1 was pretty good; this one is shaping up to be much much better.

Woah. Cole does look and sound totally different. The cut-scenes and overall visuals are definitely a pretty big improvement over the original. All the more reason for me to finally finish that damn game.

Definitely have to get used to the new Cole. Other than that, this game looks awesome. It looked like it took the best from the original, and made it even better. I hope they reference back to the first game sometimes to make it so Cole doesn't seem to be an entirely new character.

This looks so bad ass. As has been said hundreds of times by now, the new Cole is stupid, but that gameplay is mad hot. Love the destructibility as well.

Did they really have to get someone so whiny to play Cole this time?  If this direction with the character has anything to do with the criticisms a lot of idiots leveled at the first I might just have to punch those critics.

I liked the more cartoony electricity in the first one. Traversal on the powerlines could be just a bit faster. Could've picked a better voice for new Cole too.
 
Stoked regardless.

It was revealed that this is going to be their version of New Orleans. 
So Louisiana-y is right.

Again, an open world game with the visual fidelity of Uncharted 2, with what looks like semi destructible environments is being demoed on a PS3?

I believe Brad said that the game was, maybe a week ago, only 10% complete, or something like that. Seems like at the moment this is a PC game utilizing technology that the PS3 doesn’t have. It's not like Sony are well known for their honesty when it comes to presenting their exclusive titles.

" @Brackynews:    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. "
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. "
 I'm well aware that they're both rendered with the in-game engine, that however doesn't really mean squat with the cut scenes being pre-rendered and all. They can throw all their technologies into them to make them look great with no concern for the frame rate, they can't however do that in-game, which as a result is why there’s an evident disparity between the two, you know this, you have eyes after all. One looks great the other looks like shit.

Geoff Keighley said he'd played the same scene.

Mostly it's for talking but still, what nonsense, he wasn't doing anything.
It would make sense if he was talking but he wasn't.

Well he was trying to run away. That's doing something. "Cut the crap and stop trying to run away from me when it's obvious you can't." More clear?

ok sorry, it may have already been answered, i didn't read every single post but i didn't wanna lose this one.... 
 
anyway i got the first one the day it dropped to $30, in hindsight i would've totally paid full price for that game had i known how awesome it really is.  for pure fun factor it stands tall with any game out there imo.  it's got some technical issues i won't lie, mostly glitchy animations in my experience, but god dammit it's got heart.  really, really glad i picked it up

Awesome gameplay, bad voice. I will play this, have a lot of fun with is, but cringe every time I hear that voice. It just sounds nothing like the Cole from the first game, which is hard to accept.

What's the big uproar for Cole's new look and voice? You say his voice is whiny, but in the first game he had a batman voice.  Not a good alternative. As for looks :

     I mean, ya gotta admit: the first game's costume for him did not look any better. Of course, everyone's entitled to their opinion. But I'm just making a point.
