So, not really new news, but I'm sure any of you who were looking forward to the new game next year (hopefully EARLY next year) noticed that Cole, the main character, has been altered radically. Check out the trailer, and you might notice, not only a completely new look, but a totally different voice as well.

Fortunately, they decided to make his look more like that of inFamous 1, the bald city guy instead of what I can only describe as some sort of athletic hipster. Unfortunately, they aren't changing the voice back to Jason Cottle (inFamous 1). It's really this that bothers me the most. I don't really care if his looks change so much as I care about the voice, I liked and I think it fit the character well. And the new voice DOESN'T fit the old look. So I think they should either keep the new look and new voice or just go back to old look, old voice.

As far as I can tell, since I have been looking for a reason behind the change, Sucker Punch (the guys who made the game) wanted to change the voice because they thought people didn't like the deep, raspy, throaty voice and they thought it made him sound like a throat cancer patient or something like that...

So basically, I was just curious if I'm the only one who thinks Cole should stay the same (I'm probably not).

That being said, I am definitely excited about this game. Loved inFamous and I am currently playing through it again with "Evil" karma. I will probably be buying inFamous 2 right away despite the changes, but only because it sounds like the gameplay is remaining unchanged, except for a few sweet new powers and melee combat techniques (find the gameplay trailer, they REALLY emphasized how awesome melee is!)
