Casting Call For inFamous 2 [9]
A while ago, it was reported that inFamous 2 may already be underway when David Sullivan, an actor, tweeted that he was auditioning for the part of Cole – inFamous’ lead character. Now, if inFamous 2 is the game in question, it would appear that Sucker Punch are including online features in the sequel.
As spotted by CVG, a job advertisement has revealed that Sucker Punch Productions are looking for a Network Programmer to “implement the on-line component for our forthcoming AAA title.” Apart from the usual C++ experience and “energetic” personality requirements, the post has also stated that the project is indeed for the Playstation 3.
Of course, this might not be inFamous 2 at all; maybe they are working on a new title.

‘Retro’ port. The orignal Cake Simulator (2000) didn’t have online play, and Sucker Punch are gonna take that hot property and build in online functionality then rebrand it and rerelease it.

Cool. Naughty Dog implemented online play into Uncharted brilliantly, so if Sucker Punch get it right this could be a great feature.

Wanted "Trophy Hunter" but was too late.

Co-op support, if you are missing the last damn blast shard!

I think this will just be a rumour like co-op on God of War III..

Hmmm it could be amazing if they introduce more super-powered people and its online like Uncharted where you play as a certain character. If they do it like MW where’s there’s like 10 electric people running around, not so much.
Would be interesting to see what happens though. I’d settle for a better developed city and better graphics with another story.
Damn PS being broke. I have pangs to play Infamous now…

This is unlikely and would fail anyway. Online inFamous would be as much fun as Transformers was online or the Godfather II online. inFamous was painfully average , repetitive, irriating and unengaging in my view, but it was a passable rental and was fun in places, gifting me an easy platinum (except for the damn blast shard collecting crap!!!).

I thought it was really good, nothing outstanting but one of those games were it felt you could get lost in it for hours, switch off all the trophy and online distractions and just play a game.
Amount of times I lost track when hunting around the city for shards or blasting reapers.
Thats what I want extending in the new one, more ways to interect with the city.

Nah. Fair points but I thought it was one of those games that failed to engross you. There was no discovery, communities or interesting life in the game world like on Fallout 3 say, therefore I only enjoyed playing when doing a mission. Also, I got bored of the repetitiveness of the game.

Bad idea. They’d be better off spending a bit more time working in some more variety for the sequel. Good game at it’s core and all, but the endless combat and respawning enemies got old quite fast. Needed a lot more boss fights and a more inventive power set. I’d say adding in vehicles might be good, but I actually enjoyed the rail/power line grinding to get around.

If it is online for Infamous 2, then hopefully it will involve co-op. I’ve really been enjoying the co-op in Borderlands and Uncharted 2.
