inFamous 2 seemingly teased in Portuguese PlayStation mag

by Griffin McElroy on Jun 1st 2010 11:00AM

The last page in the most recent issue of Portugal's PlayStation: The Official Magazine features a pair of eyes you might be familiar with, depending on how frequently you stare into the baby blues of your video game protagonists. Scrawl captured the image of the teasing brow, which appears to belong to one Cole McGrath, hero (or anti-hero) of inFamous. That observation is supported by the text following the image, which translates to "the announcement of a great PlayStation 3 exclusive sequel in the next ROPS." (ROPS is the acronym for the magazine's Portuguese edition.)

Now that the pile of evidence indicating a sequel to last year's charged action game is teetering into the clouds, we think it's safe to expect some form of announcement at E3. In fact, we'd be shocked if ... no? We can't use that one anymore? Fair enough.

Damn.......this will be a day 1 buy for me!!!!!!

Yeah I think me too, even though there was a lot I didn't like. I mean the powers for each side were similar, the enemies soaked up damage, and every single character was annoying as shit (including Cole!).

And yet...I can't wait to play the sequel!

"even though there was a lot I didn't like about the first game."

Damn youse non-existent edit button!

Also, the ending of inFamous was badass. I can't wait to see where they go from there.

Day one purchase. I spent a good amount of my summer just playing this game. Ah, good memories.

Before any one starts screaming "ZOMG another Pre-E3" can you call the GameInformer KZ3 article or this an actual leak? They gave both publications(one that they own or at least has the official moniker) the information, in which case Sony was aware of the magazines release dates. So to call theses "leakes" wouldn't be any where close to being true

Edit: in the case of inFamous 2, it's an ad not an article.

Is anyone calling this a leak? It looks like a teaser to me, and that's all that Joystiq seems to be calling it.

people keep think of this preE3 announcements as a sign of a big thing kept for E3....
I just cant agree.

I hope though. God, every day it passes E3 gets me less and less hyped.

Loved the first one...will definitely get this

When I saw the image I immediately thought: a new version of "The Last Ninja"!

once again.....a leak coming from a off branch of a major gaming company...smh...

at any rate we all knew of this.....and I figured we would get a teaser trailer at E3 and a FULL reveal at ComiCon

This isn't exactly a leak. I think everyone saw this game coming. So it shouldn't be shocking.

Chris, please read my post above.

some may see it as a leak....I mean fact is that its an ad that seemingly foretells of something that hasn't been foretold of in this manner in larger regions....

Oh God YES!!!

Still haven't beaten the first one.
I was going through it on good mode then out of nowhere it over-wrote my good data with my evil data that I had so I didn't have to go through the itnro part again. I was pissed.

You should finish it, the plot gets really good at the end and some of the missions are really great.

Oht he story was good, I was just pissed.

So now we have news of LBP2, Killzone 3, Motorstorm 3, Resistance 3, and inFamous 2.

I don't think Sony are gonna have any games left to announce at E3.

Probably cos their entire keynote will be about PS Move. =(

All they need to 'win' E3 is a new Last Guardian trailer and gameplay video.

And a release date for fall/winter.

=P

they have more....StarHawk.....not to mention they still have to actually SHOW inFamous 2 and detail it more.....KZ2 has been shown....LBP2 needs to be shown....as does motorstorm 3

I don't care about anyone 'winning', I just want E3 to blow me away with a plethora of awesome surprises. Microsoft were amazing for this last year. Sony ... not so much.

Last Guardian trailer/gameplay would be pretty sexy, though.

Starhawk would be amazing. Hope we get to see it.

I heart Warhawk.

Also, I demand a Jak and Daxter game by Naughty Dog to be announced. Drake can take a break.

Drake can take a break!?!?! ae you on Drugs!!!

Drake is not going to take a break!! he CAN'T!!!

he has to find the next treasure that could possibly change all of mankind and stop the next crazy sumbitch that tries to use it for evil!!!

Drake is better than Jak.

Yeah, I went there.

I wouldn't mind if they made another platformer. I'll buy pretty much anything they develop at this point.

I respect your opinions, but you're wrong.
Ok, I loved Uncharted 2, it's my GOTY for 2009, without a doubt.
But I really do miss Jak and Daxter, those games had great story and gameplay, and I want to explore that world further. Remember how good it looked on the PS2? Think about what they could do on the PS3?

I personally have had ratchet and clank fill my platformer void enough that I do not crave a jak and daxter. A new one would be nice, but I personally would prefer another uncharted.

I actually like Jak more than I like Drake. Especially the story, despite the fact that I find it harder to understand Jak's plotline than Metal Gear's plotline.

Picked this up the other day and read about it. First thing I thought was "WTF My country's mag being the first one confirming something this big? That's new!"

*sorta proud*

By the way, that translation is sort of wrong (not significant though).
It's actually:
The announcement of a great Playstation 3 sequel, exclusive in the next ROPS!

Great now they can tell us who the Beast is

I thought the sequel was confirmed as soon as you completed the story. It was then backed up by the good sale numbers. I think this is just a reminder, and I remember, and are really looking forward to it. Bring it on!

I enjoyed Infamous 1, it had its charms and all, but I don't think I'll be jumping on too quick. They really only failed in one aspect, and that was making the open world a necessary part of the game itself. It's a problem that a lot of open world games have been having, where the open world is a travel system, and that's about it and could be replaced with a mission select menu.

it's a real fine line, and I know it's a personal gripe and some people will find the open world of Infamous to be completely awesome, but I didn't. While the mobility upgrades are awesome, especially wire grinding, I didn't like the progression as much as in crackdown (which may have been more about the way the world was set up than anything else.)

GTA4 did open world right, and to a point RdR does as well (less so and the ability to pretty much instantly travel anywhere in the world is much appreciated)

So for Infamous 2 I hope they make the open world aspect more a part of the game. More mobility upgrades and options would help with that as well as more pick up missions.

So for me Infamous is a wait for the price drop game, but right on the edge of buy at full price if they clean up the few minor quirks that hurt 1.

what a you on about?!

I cant wait, I loved the game seriously absolutely awesome .. This reminds me I was meant to go back and finish my play through as evil cole..

I thought of Wolverine... for some reason.

it's that herb you been smoking. trippy things it does, sometimes.

If they kill off Zeke within the first ten minutes, I'm sold.

If this comes out I'll be ecSTATIC!

Day 1 rental for me

Sucker Punch is great. No question.

I'm not going to lie, when I first saw it, instead of thinking of inFamous, I thought of Tenchu. I didn't play any of those games after Wrath of Heaven, but I think that was for good reason.

I'd be all for more of that, though.

As great as inFamous was, my brother would rather have Sly 4. The same way I would rather have Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier on PS3. I guess Insomniac is the only developer that's sticking to the franchise that put them where they are today (Ratchet and Clank).

Technically it was Spyro that put them where they are today, just like it was Crash Bandicoot who put Naughty Dog where they are today

Yeah, but you know what I mean right?

If I worked at suckerpunch for 10 years and they said, "ok we're making another sly game." I'd probably quit and go to another studio with inFamous on my resume. Sly was good but it's been done and it's time to move on
