Sparks Fly In New Infamous 2 Footage

Before you read any further, check out the Gametrailers video below. Andy McNamara, Game Informer's editor-in-chief and fishing expert, and I played this mission at E3. A few dozen additional civilians were harmed in my playthrough, but the same level of chaos was achieved through Cole's amazing new powers, and Infamous 2's high level of environmental destruction. The game is still early in development, but it already plays as well as it looks. Andy and I were both able to create incredible levels of environmental destruction, and the framerate didn't skip a beat. The new melee combat also delivers a eye-catching wallop. If this is how the good (blue) version of Cole beats down baddies, I can't wait to see how brutal evil (red) Cole is - that is if Sucker Punch decides to stick to a similar morality system from the first game.

The video also shows off Infamous 2's new in-game cutscenes. Don't worry, the game still uses stylish comic book sequences to move the narrative forward. The in-game cutscenes are used primarily for conversations, and moments where Sucker Punch felt they needed a more cinematic experience.

  • looking sweet infamous 2 looking sweet XD

  • I feel like it's not physically possible to NOT be psyched for this game. 2011 can't come soon enough.

  • Day one purchase, if the gameplay is this good throughout.

  • Stupid question, but does anyone think the environment looks like something from Uncharted 2??

    Amazing game, super excited loved the first!
  • I saw this last night. It looks extremely better than the already superb inFAMOUS 1.

  • This game is looking so good, I can't wait for it's release.

    That lightning vortex was EPIC!
  • Infamous 2 does indeed look boss.

  • It looks like they took a couple pages from Uncharted 2 in the presentation, which is a good thing. I'm def excited.

  • This game is gonna be friggin' awesome! This gameplay is so cool. And the graphics are much inmproved from the last game. Can't wait for this game to come out. 2011 is to far away!

  • HOLY S***! Now I don't care what he looks or sounds like; I just want to get the game.

  • I'm just glad they changed the voice actor for Cole. That guy from the first one was a *** nozzle supreme.

  • Badass I can't wait.

  • Cole doesn't even look the same when you are constantly looking at his back-side.

  • I like the new guy better. The old Cole reminds me too much of Jason Statham.  He's a tool.

  • I really liked the first game a lot despite some of the flaws in it, however, infamous 2 looks like its made some  major improvements over the first one plus added a couple extras to the game. This game looks great as as of now one year prior to its release I can't wait to see it when its done. Unfortunately it seem like its going to be a long wait until the end of 2011.

  • Wow that was exciting can't wait for it to come out.

  • By the looks of those enemies i think we are going to find out what happened to the Ishimura, it must have crash landed into New Marais

  • I orgasmed about five times while watching this video.  So. Epic.

  • that made me smile.

  • this is what Spider-Man:Web of Shadows should have been...
