Fast As Lightning, Redesigned Cole Emerges

 

That was fast, Sucker Punch. A little too fast, maybe. The stylistically challenged Infamous 2 developers have released a quick sketch of Cole's new design, which they said wouldn't suck. Now I'm pretty convinced that Sucker Punch needs to fire their character design team and start from scratch. I'm not one for belittling someone's hard work, but honestly, I could probably design a better character. 

The proposed new Cole looks eerily similar to the old Cole, which wouldn't be a bad thing if the old Cole didn't look so plain and boring. While I did like his racing jacket/cargo pants/utility bag clothing combo, the Jason Statham face wasn't doing it for me. If this new sketch is any indication, they're sticking with something close to his old duds, instead of the muscle tee and black-and-white-Eddy-Gordo-pants look. They've also modeled his face to look more like David Beckham. 

What do you guys think, new Cole or old Cole?

Infamous 2's Cole Is Getting a Makeover

OMG you guys, it's make over time! *squeal*

Apparently, the folks at Sucker Punch have their ear to the ground. About three weeks ago, I complained about how silly Cole looks in Infamous 2. Sucker Punch, who develops the Infamous series, must have taken my complaints personally because they're redesigning Cole. Good move Sucker Punch, good move. 

Currently, there are no shots of what the redesigned human conduit will end up looking like, but SP reassures us that they're hard at work rebooting the character design to one that doesn't suck. It's kind of refreshing to know that a developer is listening to the complaints of it's customers, and applying fixes so proactively. Kudos, fellas! While we patiently await Cole to emerge from the stylist's chair, here's an uneventful trailer to tide us over, showing Infamous 2's comic style cut scenes.
