Also, here's the carryover unlocks and bonuses for those who played the first inFamous:

looking forward to this, the only thing that sucks is that when my original PS3 died i lost my save date, and this was before infamous had Trophies, so i wont get any bonus import saved date perks, unless i finish the game again by the time it comes out, which i haven't got time for.

 

[plasmid303]

The carryover perks are fairly inessential. I wouldn't worry about it.

Badass, inFamous is one of the few games I've platinumed. I really like that Cole statue, just could shell out the extra dough.

Love the first one, this one is a def. must buy for me.

 

[MarfMaster]

I watched all the cutscenes from the first inFamous last night to get psyched for the second. I'm not feeling the proper level of excitement for this game, it's going to be awesome! Right up there with Uncharted 3 and Arkham City as my most anticipated

A playable demo is now available on the PSN Store.

A playable demo is now available on the PSN Store.

Started downloading it before I left for work, can't wait to get home and play it

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Playimg the demo now

Pros

Static thrusters lift you up a bit to allow for better gliding
Grendaes shoot straight rather than overhead
City looks great
Graphic and gameplay refinements all over
I found this lift type thing that launches you halfway up a building ala ACB

Cons:
Coles voice will take some getting used to.

I need to get used to the auto-matic firing of his standard electric blast, plus they are 'balls' of electricity rather than 'streaks'

great so far, cant wait for the full game!!!

Played the demo and loved it, my only cons are no lightning ultimate thing like in the first one ( down on the d pad) although this is a demo so maybe it's there later on and Coles voice, but it's just one of those things I guess

 

[plasmid303]

Man, no one got this today? No one is hyped? I'm picking up my copy tomorrow.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Cole in Street Fighter X Tekken looked sweet!

 

[tomandshell]

I've been enjoying my free copy of the first game. I might even be interested in the sequel.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

^^ good marketting by Sony then.

Should be getting INF2 this weekend, looking forward to it, the demo was awesome.

This game looks really good. Debating on just getting the game or get the Hero Edition.

 

[plasmid303]

I'm really loving the game so far. Almost everything feels improved over the first game. Cole is more likable now, the city of New Marai is more visually interesting (though not as large as Empire City), and the new User Generated Missions feature is awesome. Adds so much content beyond the standard campaign.

 

[Fives]

played the demo and liked it, so im still thinking on either getting this one or red faction armaggedon which was also cool.

 

[LipSmack]

Just picked up the hero edition, never pre ordered but the guys still have me whatever th PO bonus was, can't wait to play this tonight!! My only minor gripe was that after the first game I was really hoping it would stay in empire city, and they could change the map quite a bit because they would theoretically rebuild the city, but what ev maybe for infamous 3

 

[LipSmack]

Yo elaborate more on my sentimental feelings for empire city, its like superman to metropolis, or batman to gotham! Cole to empire city lol

 

[plasmid303]

Yeah, New Marais isn't quite as big or as vertical as Empire City. Getting from place to place is much faster though, so pacing in I2 is improved.
