The Infamous Sequel You Never Knew About?

Once upon a time there was a series called Infamous. A series by the famed, albeit struggling game developer at the time; Suckerpunch Productions. With infamous, they found a series that would bring them the fame and success that carries them through to this day. However, there was always a question mark hanging over the first Infamous game. That being the unfinished nature of the story. Eventually I found the answer to my question, the Infamous comic books. Through that, a question started to form in my head. Are the Infamous comic books the original scrapped concept for Infamous 2. Let's dive in and take a look.
Also just to see if KZbin will start recommending this to more people, I'm going to mention God Of War, and Twisted Metal in the description. Thank you for taking part in this experiment.

Sucker Punch is a master of making cool and interesting series leaving it on a cliffhanger and then making a entirely new series.

[@MaxwellKasper]

I hate that you're correct.

[@codyadams3051]

I'm mean they aren't the ones who left sly on a cliffhanger and they did at least resolve Cole's story even though we never got a sequel to second son so I'd say they aren't actually that bad in that regard.

[@PositivelyNegativeOfficial]

You might say they’re…. infamous for it.

[@Dzzy123]

I was so irritated that these characters got their end in a comic book. I know that Sucker Punch said they aren't working on Infamous, but if we get a remaster they should make an epilogue out of the comic's plot. Alden and Moya deserved to get killed in game. Also, Sasha not being confirmed dead is interesting. They could have brought her back in an Infamous 3 that took place on the evil timeline. Her tar powers of hallucination were interesting.

[@AmateurAnimations65]

Imagine if we got a new game and Sasha was the main character for it. Sounds weird, but playing as someone with her strange but fascinating powers could be really fun if Sucker Punch got creative with it

[@tonedeaftakes]

Agreed!

[@jvh4438]

I think sasha just died when the beast appeared. I don't know how she would be able to leave EC after the comics, and I see no way she would have survived the beast. So she probably ded.

I did read that the original premise for second son was you'd play as Cole's son in it. But people liked Cole so much they were worried people would hate the game solely ad you'd no longer play him. AKA metal gear solid 2

Heyo Larry, I see you're always around KZbin videos.. Would you mind telling me where's the source or at least the concept of where the 3rd game was going to feature an offspring of Cole? It seemed kind of obvious by 2's ending, whether good or evil, we would have had a new protagonist in the next game, but how would a son or daughter work considering: (spoilers-- the girlfriend dies either way in the first game).

[@skinnyman8320]

My condolences. I know what it's like to lose a kitty... I deeply miss Cole. The first inFamous is my favorite. I wish they'd bring Cole back.

[@XpertGreekGamer]

Either a sequel or what was popular and done GOOD back then, story DLC. GTA IV if you need an example, that'd be amazing. Actually if they made a game like Spider-Man Miles Morales, that'd be great too. If they make a remaster and add all that in too or smth that'd be epic, perhaps after a hypothetical Sly remake. We're dreaming at this point so lemme just go back to reality real quick and whiskey

Yea, the comic stuff would have worked best as either a DLC, or maybe even a post-game series of events if the original were to get a remake. Wonder if Sucker Punch would ever want to return to the series in some way.

[@Mankey619]

This game really did left a whole lot of plot holes,and never bothered showing that what happened to these characters. At least the comic book finally answered those questions. This story alone could’ve been a DLC game rather than the comic itself.

[@planescaped]

Nguyen is basically pronounced like "win" It's also the last name of everyone in Vietnam it feels like. XD

[@agentvenom3342]

Is it possible that the comic also could’ve been DLC or they could’ve did something like they did with first light I also thought it was just odd and dumb that they left it in a comic instead of in the game they also did this for prototype if I’m not mistaken

[@shadowarro9426]

Exactly! I kind of thought it would be like some kind of expansion

[@BrennySpain]

Interesting enough sucker punch did a very similar thing with sly cooper and how there’s coming that take place in between 1 and 2, and 2 and 3 to help fill in the gaps. People think the comic that takes place before honour among thieves should’ve been the opening for that game and I definitely agree with them too.

1:04 huuuh??? His voice is awesome. Also when word got out there the same voice actor wasn’t going to be in Infamous 2 there was a fan online uproar. Which led to the original voice actor being put back into the game.

[@TBP]

I mean... The second game has a different voice actor, I don't know what to tell you. Say what you want about either of them, but Jason Cottle was not in Infamous 2.

[@evansusmc]

@@TBP I could have sworn they got the original voice actor in there again. I know when the first trailer hit for part two there was a TOTALLY different voice for Cole that sounded nothing like the original. Once I heard the uproarious cause a change for when the game came out I stopped following the story. So you are saying they got another voice actor that was able to duplicate the original?? Because it sounds exactly like the original.

[@TBP]

Yes, Jason Cottle was replaced by Eric Ladin in the second game, who sounds pretty much identical, except I found he had a significantly better emotional range than Jason Cottle did doing the same voice. Whatever trailer you referring to, if I had to guess, they probably had a temporary stand in while they were casting for the game proper. I do know that they redesigned Cole to have hair, as seen in early promotional material. And I do know in that case, fan backlash led them to make him bald like in the first game. In that case I'm a little bit less sympathetic to the fans for the backlash, because I always just assumed Cole's hair burnt off in the initial explosion. I always assumed it would grow back eventually. Edit: I just looked up the E3 2010 reveal trailer, and I think I know what you're talking about. The voice sounds a higher pitched, and more awkward. But I have a suspicion that was just Eric Ladin half-assing it for the trailer.

If they do remaster the first game, I think it would be enough if they put digital copies of the comics in some sort of extras menu, along with the usual concept art and stuff (maybe as unlockable bonus content?). A DLC expansion or side game would be nice, but I feel that since the comics already exist it wouldn't really be necessary. Also, "Sins of the Future" would be a rad subtitle for the hypothetical expansion/side game ^^

[@JabamiLain]

What I like the most about role-playing games is that even when you know the story and the choices, when you think you have the story all figured out... You experience the game personally, in its full glory, and that's when your convictions are fully tested, making you realize that no, you don't have the story figured out. I am currently playing "Infamous 1" for the first time, I'm at hero karma (and let me tell you it wasn't easy getting there, since I'm constantly doing both evil and good karma choices, depending on which one is the most in lign with my beliefs), I'm at the mission in which I have to rescue Zeke from the Trash-Men...and my Cole is starting to consider the best way to inflict fear on his enemies, since it's clear the psycho posters and draining my enemies's lives isn't aren't working (which is weird, considering I did two evil karma missions in which I murdered cops without causing collateral damage and a revolted crowd that may or may not have been influenced by the Reapers into fighting me, reviving four in order to tell the story). My Cole was already afraid that Sasha's powers were being used to infiltrate members of both gangs among the civilians, but it's not like he could simply attack the population until someone revealed themselves a bad guy, especially since the recordings revealed that depending on his morality, his mutation would either twist or empower him. Well, Zeke's kidnapping was a warning. No more holding back. The worst part about all of this ? I don't feel like a dick doing this (not yet anyway). My goal was to get powers from both sides of the karmic spectrum after all. And there's plenty of enemies around for me to feast and suspicious people to oppress. I already got lots of good karma powers. Time to unlock some evil goodies as well.
