Geoff Keighley said he'd played the same scene.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WoW!  I didn't care about this game at all.  The first was decent.  But I wasn't expecting much from this one.  But damn, that just about sold me.

@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.

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.  

I'ma stand here and pew pew my lightning is my new favourite phrase ever regarding inFamous. "
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.

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?
