| Kantor said: I really don't see why people were so attached to inFamous 1's Cole. He was ugly, his voice was more gravelly than Batman, he had no personality whatsoever, his animation was terrible, and he looked plain ridiculous when he became evil. inFamous 2's Cole looks much better. I don't care if he isn't a regular human with superpowers. He's actually a semi-decent character this time around. |
I thought the VA in inFAMOUS was great and he did have personality (this one might too, who knows). The animation could have been better but that's not really the issue.
If they cleaned up the animation, improved graphics etc, that's understandable. I mean they changed mario from SMB -> Mario Galaxy but it is still Mario. He still had the same basic shape, hat, etc. They made him a little more round, but overall, still mario and anyone could tell.
If I showed you a screen shot of this "new" Cole without telling you it was Infamous 2 and the screen shot didn't involve lightning, and asked "Which character is this from a PS3 exclusive?" I doubt you'd say Cole MacGrath. That is the issue, it's just not the same character. He may be a better character, who knows, but it's not the same character and that is a large disconnect to me. I preordered the original, I don't think I'll even buy this one (I'm serious) unless they give some reason plot wise (that isn't lame) why the look changed.
