inFamous 2 is official, which is excellent news. Now some detail has emerged regarding the new game.Looking at the artwork for a start indicates that Cole McGrath appears to be a younger, less bald, slightly porkier character - at least to start with.
The GameInformer article (via
PSInformer) also tells us that, "There are bigger consequences to your choices, and it’s not really obvious what’s good and bad.
“Morality is certainly a big part of the product. And we are committed to making it impactful and meaningful, and have it be something you feel is responsive to how you’re playing the game."
It's got to be said that one of the weakest elements of the excellent first game was the sledgehammer obvious morality system, so it's good to see that changing.
Interestingly there's a shot showing Cole standing in water... possibly before he gains powers.
In terms of new powers, the following are indicated:
- a Vortex that sucks everything in.
- some form of electrical cable device that can be deployed by Cole to ascend.
- a big electricity conductor club or sword.
We can't wait.
