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?

 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.

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.

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.

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".

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!

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"

Oh don't tell me those guys at the beginning aren't supposed to remind us of Mercer!
 
But yeah, it looks great. The movement seems much quicker and smoother than the first one.

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.

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.

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

EDIT: Oh, is that a new power at 1:40? Kinda like lightning sticky grenades or something? I'm liking it.

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.

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.

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.

I didn't play the first InFamous, but uh... that dude sounds bad, and he's got the worst '95 pseudo-urban hipster style that I've probably ever seen. He makes the outfits in Hackers look good by today's standards.

LOVE IT! Love new look, everything. It seems they are pulling "uncharted 2" on this one. Making solid game into freaking awesome GOTY material. Cant wait. Sony has great year so far and rest of 2010 when it comes to exclusives, but next year seem to be just as awesome, if not (probably)better. Infamous 2, Killzone 2, Motorstorm 3, Uncharted 3(most likely), maybe Demon Souls2, Resistance 3 and probably few more that i cant remember, plus there must be some surprises sony style. Great stuff.
