inFamous: Second Son Portrays a Dark, Nasty Future

For once I'd like to play as the totalitarian future-cops, is that so much to ask for? Goddamn insurgencies.

The main dude seems way more evil than the DUP

aww they went with fire? i liked the electric....

Brad is the one that initially sold me on Infamous so if he is sold then I am sold.

I guess this answers all those "How can they possibly choose a 'canonical' ending" questions. I'm interested in this.

Who played through inFamous 2 and thought that the next game could possibly feature Cole as the protagonist again?

With Cole, they couldn't go the prequel route, as before the first game he had no powers.

I don't think much time passed in the story between 1 and 2 to yield a full story.

And I had assumed that, while the series was built around moral dilemmas and choosing between "good" and "evil" actions which altered your appearance, abilities and ultimately the game's ending, inFamous 2's story picked up where the "good" ending of the last left off.

Wow, I just spent way too much time thinking about the inFamous storyline. The stories in these games aren't really that important, they're fun to play which is all that should matter.

@needforswede: His death in the good ending wasn't exactly conclusive. The lightning hitting his grave in the ending was clearly done to leave enough wiggle room for bringing him back if they want to.

I'm glad they're just going with a new protagonist personally, but I'll be surprised if Cole doesn't show up at some point.

The setting seems interesting, but I'm not sure about all the intro...

As a major comic fan I root for the underdog X-men, but no less than Hank McCoy (ie a founding X-man) has said that people have EVERY right to be afraid of a neighbor that was basically a walking atom bomb. A person that could kill them and their families on a whim with no possibility of resistance. It's why he's been an Avenger at times and not strictly engaged in what we as comic fans know is a noble endeavor.

In real life, I would ABSOLUTELY support mutant registration. If you need to be registered to legally drive, you damn well ought to be if you can blow up a building by clenching your fists real dramatically.

EDIT - That said I'm all for more inFamous, though it doesn't look like we are straying too far from the Cole model which is sorta disappointing.

@giantstalker: I believe that game is called Crackdown.

Troy Baker? Pretty sure it was.

I thought it was great that, after an hour or so of people going on about the online connectivity of the console and ease of sharing information, the guy introducing this trailer took to the stage and starting spouting off some big brother dystopian shit.

But whatevs, I'm sure the game will be fine.

What dark future? It is taking place in present time, sonys event to be more precise if you look at the right corner of the surveillance camera footage you see its says 20 of february 2013.

I am above the law!

Looks good to me. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Exactly. It's only been 7 years so it's not that far from inFamous 2.

Why would you assume that ? Suckerpunch must know how popular that dude is , right ?

Favourite moment of Infamous 2: Zeke and Cole just chillin in front of a western and a couple of brews...

It would be cool if you can switch between this dude and Cole ala Batman and Catwoman in Arkham City.
