I hate his new look/voice, too. I couldn't figure out why I hated his look so much until this thread. Sure, there's the thing about scrapping his old look. But, the real reason came when so many people are commenting how he looks like Nathan Drake. And then a light bulb went off. He does look like Drake. And that's a bad thing. It's just like Dark Void. That guy looked like Drake. Did the whole wise-cracking, too. Hell, even had Nolan North as his VA. He was just a Nathan Drake wanna-be. I can't even remember his name. And there in lies the problem. There is only one Nathan Drake. All cheap imitators are just that, cheap.
And that's what they have done to Cole. He used to be his own man. But now, he's just another fish swimming in a pool of Drake imitators. I'm sure he'll do the whole "saying a wise-ass comment every 2 seconds" thing, too. What makes it worse is his voice actor. It's like he's trying to pull off Cole's voice from the original. And I emphasize trying. It just sounds so forced.
I'm with EncodedNybble. I'm not as pumped to buy this one as I was the original. Might rent it, though.

I just don't understand this. Don't you want to support SP for creating a sequel to a game you presumably liked ?
WHY ? You've only heard him say about 2 lines. You don't know what he's like...None of us do.

If he doesn't like what the companies done in the sequal, why support it?

Exactly. And really, am I going to care what's happening to a character I don't like? No. I don't like his look (do we really need 2 PS3 series featuring Nathan Drake) or his voice (again, sounds so forced). And those are the thoughts that will be going through my mind as I was playing this game. Especially after having such a good experience with the orginal game/Cole. And I don't like some of the other changes you were mentioning, either.
I'm not starting any boycott, but I most likely won't be buying the game, either.
