No ones gonna bring u that depending on your affiliation you also get fire or ice powers? I mean they had revealed ice but having what seems to be completely different ability sets depending on your choices is awesome.

3 completely different games, different concepts, different gameplay.

A little unsure of this game, although i loved inFamous so i will give Sucker Punch the benefit of the doubt 
Wish Cole was back to normal though, the years have been rough haven't they lol

Modern era game design rule number 1:  all player controlled characters must be accompanied by an ai sidekick of some kind.  Focus groups say people like this, apparently.

Something about Infamous doesn't jive well with me.  I did not enjoy the first game and I am unlikely to enjoy this.

I just want some subtlety with the morals choices after playing the first. Pausing the game and flashing "GOOD!" or "EVIL!" was dumb.

Infamous 2: How to fail in character designs.
 
Seriously - weak leading character, weak supporting character, weak choices.... I mean come on, Cole was at least somewhat captivating in the first one... and he was even kinda bland.  Now? It just reeks of smugness without a cause.
 
Everytime I see something new about Infamous 2, I get more disappointed.  Come on Sucker punch, work your stuff!

Cole guess what the docter told me my ex-boyfriend gave me. I'm too tired and I have a headache and you better see the docter too. 
 
Evil, good, and middle of the road, all screwed. And besides, this is pretty wierd for a few reasons.

I thought the redesign looked okay. Until I saw a closeup. Also the female characters look badly modeled and their purpose is REALLY obvious.

Nice shoulder angel and devil dynamic they've got going on there with the women. Also, I like the customisable shirt colours.

the voice is weird, he sounds too much like he knows what he's doing whereas the first voice was more fitting. 
but I can deal with it if I get to play more infamous

looks good and all, so does the 1st game too
but I just couldn't pull myself to keep playing the 1st game, open world games probably just ain't my thing.

If they really want people to actually think these choices are hard, they should just make playing evil be easier.

@Enigma777:  
The big issue for me with the new design, is that they made him look more like the original but they kept the new voice, which doesn't fit with the original Cole.
So, yeah, maybe they should have just stayed with their first redesign.

Really excited about this game, and I'm liking the idea of a crew of power-users who aren't all assholes out to ruin you.
 
Also, I hope they bring back sasha.

I don't mind the look of Cole and never actually saw that new redesigned one i heard about but this voice...   It sounds like crap. I just don't get it. Honestly that voice would sound like crap on any new character to begin with but changing an already existing character's voice for this? Gameplay should come first but that's a pretty big turn off for me nonetheless. Tons of other games coming out soon anyway so it got bumped down a few notches on my list of anticipated games for this year.

the first game was so mindless, just shooting and no strategy or thought.   as far as third-person open world action games go, GTAIV and ACB are much better.

Yeah, I think I agree with you. Luckily, I can sit here nice and smug as someone who never really bitched about the redesign.
 
Unfortunately my smugness is ruined by also being someone who told people to stop complaining about the new voice actor and as I'm listening to this trailer I'm thinking "Shit, I think the people complaining about the new voice are right".
 
On the brightside, we'll be looking at the back of his head most of the time so let's just keep our fingers crossed that Cole doesn't get too chatty.

I kind of find myself wishing that they just ignored everyone and stuck to their guns.
