Sucker Punch: inFamous 2 Will Induce A "Heart Attack"

Would be nice to see player-driven morally gray choices in a non-RPG setting for a change. I mean, morality is all well and good (see what I did there? Neither did I) but it is nice when some problems aren't reduced to math. I'm a huge fan of the idea of not including power tie-ins to said systems as well as not seeing what your 'morality rank' is, though I did like the Mass Effect system where certain choices have an impact on later dialog choices.
Heart attack ? Well then, it's a good thing Cole is a walking defibrillator!
Excuse my terrible attempt at joke
I'm pretty excited about inFamous 2. I liked the first one way more than GTA4. I prefer swift movement and super-powered maniacs in my open world games. As as result, Prototype, inFamous and Crackdown suit my taste. The black/white morality choices weren't that bad in the first game either...I liked that every side quest contributed towards changing your surrounding world. It gave the game a very cohesive feel.

It makes me feel the opposite: it makes me feel like gamers are becoming the new burnouts, maybe even replacing stoners as THE burnouts.V8 Ninja said:
As for the game, I hope it's more immersive than the original which was fun but very repetitive. I only played through the villain and still haven't felt up to restarting it.
They also need to add custom soundtracks. I actually liked the soundtrack but most of my friends didn't. Some of them really hated it and while I did like it, it was too distracting for that kind of game.
Is this going to be like in Army of Two 2 (Because that title is far more awesome than the real one) where if you do a tiny little thing then something completely different that you couldn't have anticipated happens? Like if I randomly shoot a bolt of lightning into the air a kitten on the other side of town dies from getting shot by a little kid who stole his policeman father's gun and got so scared he accidentally fired a shot of when witnessing the bolt?
Because it was pretty fucking stupid in Army of Too Too.

Meh, not really the "heart attack" worthy. The new Cole doesn't really look that great. He looks like Darth Vader's Apprentice from Force Unleashed.
Does this mean that Cole McGrath, the mostly um... uncreatively named hero I've seen in awhile will have recovered from his Larynx Injury? You know the one that makes him sound like he smokes 10 packs a day outside of the narrated comic book style cutscenes?
Well, seeing as no-one's mentioned this yet...
A Prototype and Infamous crossover game!!!
Let's rip shit up as Alex Mercer and Cole Mcgrath. Sorta like like Aliens vs Predator, but with more killing.

"t's not really obvious what's good and bad" + enforcing "good" and "bad" with a points system = frustration. They should really have a reputation system instead...so you can actually be Infamous.
And it shouldn't affect your looks at all. One of the most disturbing things about evil is how it can wear a pretty face.

I always liked Infamous, decent if loopy plot, good gameplay, the upgrades system worked quite well and everything flowed well enough to make up for some of it's flaws. Plus it had trash robot-golem-things built by psycic hobos. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT!
having said that i always felt that the morality system was a bit to arbitrary, the big decisions were the only ones that really mattered and at the end there was that one decision that made it all well... not matter. i like games with morality systems that aren't to arvitrary and black and white. Silent hill 2 had a morality system that worked better than any other i've seen, it didn't give you massive decisions but instead monitered how you played and judged which ending to igve you based on that, for example running off and attacking enemies wildly would result in you being more likely to get the ending where you comit suicide, it just kinda worked for me.

1st Thought: inFamous 2? YAAAAY!
2nd Thought: Wait, new look for Cole? You mean we won't be playing as The Beast like I hoped? D'awwww.

An excellent concept with the morality thing. Just don't cock it up and make it "Square Button=Evil Choice, Circle Button=Good Choice" like just about everything these days.
