After months of Speculation, Infamous 2 is now official! The latest issue of Game Informer has just confirmed that game developer Sucker Punch is currently on the works for the sequel of its world-renowned Infamous. No detailed information have been given yet but do expect a meaner and redesigned Cole and a much bigger world to explore aside from Empire City.
Expect more news updates of Infamous 2 for months to come.
Plot
The game follows the events of Infamous with Cole MacGrath as the main protagonist once again. The game will take place in a new city called New Marais, a New Orleans inspired city, and will involve Cole going against the Beast. The game begins with Cole fighting the Beast and barely escaping with his life. He, along with his friend Zeke, flee to New Marais and prepare for Cole's inevitable encounter with the Beast while combating The Militia, a shadowy group led by a man named Bertrand. The Militia has taken over New Marais in an attempt to keep all super powered or abnormal things away and do not take a liking to Cole. Cole will combat the Militia, explore New Mariais, and learn about himself, Kessler, and The First Sons along the way

Ah the only gripe I have is the whole scuffy look with cole is gone now...I hope there is more diverging powers with the karma system and that the karma system affects the storyline in a larger way.
We did get a slight glimpse of the potential of cole's power during the last boss fight if you know what I mean ^^
Yeah, I know. What's with the fuckin' hair? And his face... where the good ol' bad ass look went? Damn, and I thought the one in game informer's cover will be cole....
The gameplay looked really solid. The combat seemed much smoother and faster, and it seems like the wall grinding is going to be fun to mess around with.
Gameplay looks much improved over the first one. Wall grinding looks sweet. But I really hope they fix the problems with Cole sticking to everything. It was pretty annoying when I was trying to make more accurate jumps.
But the new Cole still looks like a faggot. I don't want this new sissy. Give me back the old Cole who used his barefists and sounds like he ate a handful of gravel.

Agreed, headbutting enemies won't be the same without the baldness.
