looks sick.

but he looks kinda gay compare to the first

look at the new melee weapon and power. looks so dope.

and also they wernt lying about more people and cars.

this will be the best open world game ever.

edit
what. yeah tattoo looks cool, but he looks like way to much of a pretty boy, but i bet you this guy will probably kick way more ass then the original.
just look at that typhone.

any one notice he was sticking on to the wall. idk if this was in the first one, but maybe he can use his electricty
to attach him self on metal object.
and you know how buildings have metal objects to make them stand.

Bobbykotickrulesz5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

NICE

This game is gunna be totally tubularrrr

@ The count
Mmyes mmyes ah ah ah! Vwone two three ah ah ah

The_Count5462d ago

SO MANY NEW LOCATIONS TO COUNT!

ah ah ah

Rumor5462d ago

Looks too metro sexual....the v neck kiiiiiills me lol

He'll be more badass though. the graphics should be better also. Kingdom hearts style melee system for the fucking win...hopefully like that

TotalPS3Fanboy5462d ago

That's badass. I am pretty sure it's not one of his power though.

lociefer5462d ago

nice graphical overhaul, and that tornado looks fantastic

Coffin875462d ago

oh my god! hot!!!
the camera seems to be way closer to cole. you can see WAY more details from his character model and textures. the tattoos!! simply awesome.
imagine the feeling of navigating him over walls and buildings.. gives me goosebumps.

Army_of_Darkness5462d ago

it appears that they casted Paul walker to play as cole?!?!

WildArmed5462d ago

Yeah can't wait~
I hope the game is going to have a bigger place to explore.
(Like RDR BIG!)
Can't wait~ 2011 can't come sooner!

PS: I feel stupid, I read the scans backwards.. from top to bottom.

But the guy linked the pages from bottom (pg 1) to top (last page).

I realized that AFTER I finished reading the whole thing >.<

karl5462d ago

actually it says that its his new power..

so i guess we are in for some new stuffs..

drdistracto7075462d ago

why is everyone bitching? I frankly like the new cole, and im very happy he's getting a new voice actor, no more batman noises out of him hopefully.

Also, Zeke looks fricken bad-ass!!! (NEVER thought id say that)

kunit22c5461d ago

Did anyone read the yellow box in scan 9??
Online pretty much confirmed?
YES!! Cant wait!

qface645462d ago

looking at this and then looking at the first game if it didn't have infamous in the name you would never think it was a sequel

i have to say so far the game looks very different from the 1st

Orange5462d ago

I prefer the new Cole. Looks less likely to be a fan of Korn.

krisq5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

I like the new look too. And I can see from the pictures animations will be totally redone. Hopfully, Parkour will look ultra smooth and more 'humanly' now.

[edit]
Oh, snap:
"You will see fewer situations where it feels like Cole is jumping up the sides of buildings, and more where he is scrambling to the top using a variety of objects in the environment, creating a more satisfying sense of improvisation."

AWESOME!!

DarkSpawnClone5462d ago

i think he looks a hell of a lot better the the first game but i will have to admit it will be weird at first but i think it will pay off in the end.he likes like a real person now and is it just me but it looks as if the art style has even changed a bit too

krisq5462d ago

It seems to be more realistic/less comic kinda way.
I love it.

WildArmed5462d ago

This character feels more 'alive'..
The first one didn't really have a personality (appearance wise -- he reminded me of a soldier, which means he had given on individuality. You know thats the point of having a uniform. Kinda like Nathan Hale.. But this time around, It seems he is quite unique)

darkdoom30005462d ago

Agreed, in the cover he tools lame, but the actual ingame model looks good. Tats looks badass, I like he still has his bike courier bag.

cole from infamous1 looked like a generic bald guy, he can be easily mistaken for the terminator guy or the guy from forced unleashed (doesnt help that he can also use thunder powers)

Gobot5462d ago Show
Ravage275462d ago

it will take a while before i get used to the new Cole but i kind of like the change. I love the way the story is heading and it seems that Sucker Punch is working on the few issues i had with the first game, can't wait!

Chubear5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

Cole looked like a badass in inF1 but now looks more... "happy" in inF2 (Not a digg at my gay gaming bros & sisters or anything but you know what I mean) and Zeke, of all people, looks more badassed in inF2 lol

Also, I know gamers LOVE their colour in games and it is supposed to be set in New Orleans which is a colourful city but... damn! with all those florescent purples and blues and pinks and greens... the game's looking more like halo.

For now, a bit too "fruity" for me but we'll see more at E3 I guess

ps/ ok, just saw the pics; not as colourful as I've seen before so my little heart can rest better now lol

Hardbladestone5462d ago

i want the old cole back this guy just not right

Incognegro5462d ago

and you say that with him as your avatar? lol..interesting.

zoks3105462d ago

Yea, I'm with you, the old Cole was better, and that's only because that was the Cole we were introduced to and played with for 15 hours, but I'll give the new guy a chance.

Bodyboarder_VGamer5462d ago

graphically this game's a massive improvement

SOAD5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

With these screens it's hard to tell because they're grainy and hide the textures, but I don't doubt that the game will look better.

Drebin 9285462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

but even as grainy and washed-out as the scans are, you can still tell that they greatly improved the AA and amount of polygons in the character models. It's gonna look MUCH better than the first. Not to mention Cole just looks more unique, design wise.

I can't wait for the E3 trailer to see this in action XD

raztad5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

I seriously dislike new Cole. SP is aiming kids and teens. Well whatever, loving the visuals, art-style not new Cole. Hope the jaggies are gone for good.

EDIT:

Dont mind me. I still dislike new Cole however I understand what SP is aiming for:

"We are trying to build the IP"

"We are trying to make it stronger, more diverse, refined, higher quality, because we are trying to invest in the property itself"

Go SP. Do your thing. inFAMOUS 2 will be day one.

Simon_Brezhnev5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

yeah i agree with you it does look like its aiming at teens and he seems 2 happy, all i know if im evil again i better look more hardcore again

shadow27975462d ago

While I'm all for continuity, I'll admit the actual in game model for Cole is much better than the concept art. His pants are still a little weird, and I'm usually against V-necks on guys, but I can live with him. It'll be weird thinking of him as "Cole", but he's a lot less metro in the actual game.

It's a comic book. Just think of it as another artist's interpretation of the character. Peter Parker has not always looked the same, after all.

aaronisbla5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

huge fan of the first game and the old cole but lets be honest, he looked like a place holder character that could have been replaced with some other model if they so choose. It was a decent looking model but the new cole looks better to me. He looks a lil bit younger too.

I'm really hoping that the electric tornado isn't his last, grandest power, id like to be surprised when i finally unlock it. The demo for the first game kinda ruined that wow factor since it lets you use the Lightning Storm near the end of the demo

Iamback5462d ago

release 2011 :(
On last scan you can see it. Bummer, was hoping for fall 2010

jwatt5462d ago

I love the new art style and the graphics look cleaner!

callahan095462d ago

This looks awesome! It looks like a huge improvement in graphics and just in general the game looks even cooler than the original. Can't wait for this!

jwatt5462d ago

Seriously I'm too excited for this game, the first one had it's flaws but I thought it had potential to be a big heavy hitting franchise! Now I hear this quote "No stone unturned, we have to make everything better" I can't wait to get my hands on this game!

Anarki5462d ago

Awww Cole looks like some stupid actor... they should have kept the old one.

bpac1234567895462d ago

Yeah the game looks good especially that tornado he's able to create, but I'm really not feeling the redesign. Cole looked like a badass in the first infamous here he looks like some college kid who happened to get some powers.

talltony5462d ago

I cannot wait for this game they look to be improving on all fronts!

MNicholas5462d ago

to achieve the improvement in graphics. Looks superb.

nan05462d ago

The more information that gets released the more upset I get and more hope I lose in this game. His looks like drake's little brother. They may as well change his name to josh. What's this about a militia? We're fighting drug cartels and 3rd world country people? This looks like a joke. The weapon looks stupid and it looks like they're taking Eddy Gordo's moves.

I was looking forward so much to this game, I loved the first one. I was hoping they'd take a deeper comic book approach and use more of those comic scenes. This story needs to be sinister and twisted. I loved the whacy/twisted parts in the first one. So authentic. I don't care if he was "cruel/bland". If your ASS got blown up by a huge bomb, nothing would seem like a big deal to you either.

Stop being fanboys and protest this. Don't be a tool and disagee/take away bubbles. Nor should you act out of spite.

unknownhero11235462d ago

you haven't seen the game in action yet and you are already treating it like it's going to be a crappy game. I disagree because we haven't seen actual gameplay yet.

nan05462d ago

Why would I care about the gameplay if everything else looks like garbage? It's become a child's game.

thePatriot5462d ago

"New Marais is the kind of city where you feel like you could get stabbed at any time of the day."

I like the new town all ready :)

whoelse5462d ago

I'm excited for this already!

Christopher5461d ago

Gotta say, I do prefer the look of Cole from the first game...

But, if they can deliver on an improved gameplay, will be a day one purchase for me regardless of Cole's looks.

pixelsword5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

...To me, Nathan Hale, Cole, SEV, Nathan Drake, Allen Wake; heck, I'll even include Kratos, Baldur from Too Human, Alec Mason from Red Faction: Guerrilla, and the default skin of Commander Shepard from Mass Effect are all one haircut or three-day-shave from looking like each other.

TheHater5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

That vertex new power looking fcuking insane.
Is Cole using electricity to do some climbing and platforming?
Cole got some tattoos and the graphic look a lot better then the original
WTF is that he is holding to beat his enemies with?

@Eddy Raja
it just a redesign Cole

alphakennybody5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

"meet cole again?" so its an alternate cole? OH shit its gonna be sweet and the Graphics looks improved by miles. Hope they don't take out the comic book style cutscenes, it was one the strongest point of inFamous.

alphakennybody5462d ago (Edited 5462d ago )

get ready for some kickass trailer coupled with a kickass postrock tune

@TheHater
ah k, glad to see that he looks more alive and has moved on after you know...*SPOILER* trish *SPOILER END*

The_Zeitgeist5462d ago

I think I need to play the first game finally. Before the entire story is ruined for me.

arakouftaian5462d ago

and the gameplay is really fun
a mix of super heroes electrical powers
and shooting everything just like a 3rd person shooter but electric shoot
not bullets

aaronisbla5462d ago

if you havent read the passages in the scans, don't, it will ruin some key story elements that made the first game great

inFamous 3: We Want A Second Son Sequel

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

Alexious728d ago

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot728d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

lukasmain728d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast727d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox728d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake728d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic1119d ago (Edited 1119d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy1118d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic1118d ago (Edited 1118d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils1118d ago (Edited 1118d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic1118d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider16241118d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt231118d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc201118d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan1118d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty18891118d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1118d ago (Edited 1118d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

Latest RPCS3 build brings major improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more

A brand new version of the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3, brings major graphical improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more.

Game-ur1781d ago

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic1781d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish1781d ago (Edited 1781d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic1781d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish1781d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad1781d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan1781d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis1781d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17211781d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

Gamerking821781d ago (Edited 1781d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
