Before a game is really, totally announced, you've got to keep an eye out for little hints that it may be on the way. Take, for instance, the sequel to inFamous that may or may not exist. We already knew developer Sucker Punch was looking to add an artist familiar with the "urban style" that figured prominently in the first inFamous game. Now, actor David Sullivan has tweeted (as spotted by G4) that he's being considered for the role of Cole, which he says is being recast for a sequel.
You may know Sullivan from the indie hit Primer, or as the subject of actor Jason Cottle's forthcoming book, Job Stealers I Totally Hate.

The way I took to the story?
I think Cole would follow good until getting to the Ray Sphere and absorbs it...becoming more powerful to protect those that he should've been able to originally protect.
Of course, sure that sends you off to the 'infamous' side of the board in the game but I don't think Cole would really change that much, just because he has more power he's not going to be come an evil jerkoff all of a sudden.
My reasoning? Trish and what happened to her.
Of course, I'm just speculating and I'm more than likely wrong.

Well he technically already had 2 voice actors for the same role, so why not a third?

Is this even news it's not like he has a unique video game character voice. He's just the standard deep/raspy/miserable sounding lead that they usually throw out for 80% of games.

it's news because they wouldn't recast a character if they werent making a sequel, that's the part worth posting.

Sony didn't force Sega to make that decision, Sega made it on their own. They are trying to appeal to another audience since the game didn't receive the welcome it should have on the ps3. If this one fares well, they will probably return to the ps3. It's all about branching out!

they shouldnt even make a sequel, leave the original game as the great game it was, and move on to another idea

Yeah except the ending of inFamous did leave room for a sequel and I would really like to see the universe expanded. Suck punch have never let me down so they may do as they wish!

Maybe it's the same guy and he just misunderstood what was being asked of him:
"You want me to do inFamous, a gay porno starring Famous Freddy? I'm all for that!"

Well inFamous ended up being my favorite PS3 exclusive yet. I'm fine with a voice recast as long as his voice is decent. The original Cole's voice was pretty lame but I got used to it.

Definitely, the platforming stealth element of sly cooper I loved throughout the series, if sucker punch brought that 2007 rumored sly 4 to life I'd probably licking a newly bought ps3.

Oh God! Even as a joke that makes me shudder. Keep him as Drake, make him stay the **** away from everything else. He's incapable of sounding different.

He sure sounded different as Desomond in Assassin's Creed and in other games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_North

He was the Prince in the latest Prince of Persia game. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't disconnect the voice from that of Nathan Drake. That was one of the many things that turned me off of that game.
