“Infamous was a story about going from zero to hero, an origin story,”

”but in Infamous 2 you start out as a superhero. People might already have heard of you from Empire City. At the beginning of Infamous 2 Cole runs into the Beast, this guy who is way more powerful than him, and he realises that where he’s at is not powerful enough; he has to continue to grow his power set. Infamous 2 is the story of him already as a superhero, in this new area, becoming – I don’t know what’s next – a demigod.”

“We didn’t realise that changing the character’s appearance would make people feel like they’d lost the original character altogether. To us, it was like, it’s the same guy, he’s just got different clothes on and his hair grew out a little bit, you know?”
