The damages the balcony as he's running thorugh there, so hopefully the buildings will be more destructable this time. 
 
Also, I'm tired of the main character in all games sounding the same, so maybe they should give someone else a chance to do the voice acting. 
 
Otherwise, looks like it will be fun to play.

You're only hearing one small snippet on his voice in this video. In the announcement trailer, there's a lot more dialog and he actually sounds quite good, getting gravelly at times, but not monotonously so like the original voice actor.  I actually like this new voice just as much as the old one. 
 
I love the dynamic lighting in this game, I wonder how much of it is new. You can tell the chase is made much, much easier since you can see the flashing police lights reflecting off the buildings in the distance in case you lose sight of the limo.

Seems like they could have picked a little better voice actor, or tried harder to sound a little like the previous Cole. The new guy sounds like he's 15.
 
Otherwise, slick vid.

I like the look of it, it seems more fast paced which was very obvious with the thruster ability, but i dont like they bring mutants / aliens into the game

Do a simple search and read through interviews. It's all over the place. 
 
The first party studios don't really help each other directly that much, instead, it's a lot of tech sharing and support. 
 
Also, I could just ask you where the source for the rumor that whatever random studio people are talking about helped Sucker Punch directly.

Cole's new voice SUCKS ASS!
 
It's not even in comparison to the old voice. I can't even remember what that sounded like. Just in general, video game voice acting. . . . . .IT BLOWS.
 
I was super excited about the game until I heard Cole talk and now I'm afraid I'll be too annoyed to play it.

Are you implying that being voiced by Nolan North is somehow not considered a super power?  Is it not every young boy's dream to fly through the sky and be voiced by Nolan North? "

Sony does seem to be betting the house on this one so along with the dude-isms and more mainstream friendly look, they know not to disappoint the core audience. Whilst the first game was fine, it wasn't the classic that the revisionists are claiming. There was a lot wrong with the gameplay that needs fixing first. Hopefully this won't suffer from Uncharteditis - play, cut scene, play, cut scene etc.

" 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 :   

No Caption Provided
      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. "
yaa...I don't get it either man.  Remember when the first game came out and how many people made fun of and hated his Batman voice?  Also there were tons of complaints about how boring Cole looked "oh another shaved head guy wtih no personality." 
 
I'm sure Sucker Punch took into consideration all the complaints and that is one of the reasons they changed him.  I'd say they definitely improved him.  He seems more like a real person now instead of some cookie-cutter design.  The only negative I can say is that he, perhaps, resembles Nathan Drake a bit too much.  He just has a strong Nathan Drake vibe about him or something...maybe it's just me.
 
But I remember the same sentiments about Nathan Drake as well when Uncharted was coming out.  Now no one seems to have a problem with him.
 
Oh but we also must remember that many of the comments are just ridiculous trolls.  I mean this one..." Looks a lot like Prototype."  That is just hilarious.

Alright that gameplay trailer changed my mind and my doubts I had with the sequel. This game looks ten times better than the original and more promising than any game currently out there...

" 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. "

Geoff Keighley said he'd played the same scene.

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.

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
