The first footage of Sucker Punches' highly anticipated sequel, Infamous 2, was shown at E3 this year, but we didn't see the familiar face we remember from the predecessor. Infamous' main protagonist is Cole McGrath, a bike courier in the enormous city of Empire. Cole get's caught in the center of an explosion and mysteriously gains the ability to manipulate electricity. That cole was a rough, tough, bald electrically charged machine.
Sucker Punch has completely changed his look. The new cole was a younger, cooler looking messenger, sporting a bunch of tattoos and a slick new haircut. Well, from what I remember, Cole was a dark and mysterious character who was near bald and always angry looking.
This new look was really criticized by fans of the first game and Sucker Punch must have heard the complaints. Before the Infamous 2 panel at Comic Con, SP announced that they will be changing Cole back to a more familiar look, most likely more bald.
I have mixed opinions about the new look and the old one. This new look is cool and I think it would make him more relatable, but he looks too much like the traditional hero. The old look is also cool and It fits the profile pretty well, but to me, he was never a likable hero or villain.
I for one, was a big fan of Infamous and can't wait for Infamous 2. Im looking forward to seeing what Sucker Punch can deliver in their action packed and electrifying sequel. Look out for more news on Infamous 2 in the future.
