inFamous 2 - Cole's Look Going Back to Basics
Protagonist to go back to original design
Sucker Punch, developer of inFamous, is giving its hero, Cole, his old look back for inFamous 2.
The video and screens from inFamous 2 that were show at E3 featured a Cole with tattoos, a mop of hair and a go-faster stripe on his trousers that might have looked appropriate in 2003.
A nameless IGN reporter has seen pictures of the now-redesigned Cole, however, and writes, "I can't tell you exactly what he looks like, but I can tell you he looks more like the person we played as in the original Infamous and less like the man who was in all of those E3 screens and videos."
While the IGN report doesn't say what prompted the change, the fact that many gamers were getting a little (lot) spooked by his new look most likely played a part.
So, he's changing back. Which is good, because... it's unrealistic to think his hair might grow and he might visit a tattoo parlour? Because we fear change? Because Cole's original bicycle messenger look was so iconic? One of those things.
