Ben-DutkaIt's gonna be bad-ass . It just is.
We've been waiting on a launch date for inFamous 2 and Sucker Punch has finally delivered: as announced at the PlayStation Blog , the next Cole installment will release in North America on June 7! Plus, they've revealed the jam-packed HERO Edition, which will retail for $99.99 and net you the following goodies:
Lastly, the pre-order incentives have been revealed; you can nab a 24k gold version of the Amp if you drop your cash at Amazon.com, a Kessler Skin if you pre-order from Best Buy, the Lightning Hook special power if you put down a deposit at GameStop, the Electrocution Grenade for pre-ordering at Wal-Mart, and the soundtrack from other "participating retailers." I'm goin' with GameStop.
This game is almost guaranteed to be one of the most entertaining titles of the year. So loved the first one.

You'll get release day shipping as well. 🙂
Well, I was right when I assumed that it would launch before August 😀
I'm not sure I'll be here for it though. If not, it'll have to wait until August/September anyway… Damn. Ah well, this game will be mine. The first was WAY too much for it not to be.
Oh, and like Heavy Rain, the European box art is better than the American one. IMO, of course.
Peace.
Oh… one other thing: Why would they call it a Hero edtion, considering this game is about duality. Will they soon be announcing a Villain edition? I hope so.
Because no one wants to "openly" be the villain. 😉
That would be kinda cool, I dunno if being a Villain alters your appearance like it does in the first game but you could get a different Cole figure, different color pack, different comic, red amp, etc.
In i1 Cole is a disgusting mess when you play him as evil though.
I didn't really notice any major changes between good Cole and evil Cole in the first game, except that as a villain he looked a tad more unkempt. I actually rather liked that they didn't go overboard with it.
You must be color blind lawless, if you took cole all the way down the "inFamous" path, all the color drains out of him and his clothes, he becomes completely black and grey and has dirt and oil all over himself.
He looks wicked.
Possibly. But then, I haven't played it since release, so it may just be faulty memory.
I love to openly be the villain and if there is a villain edition I'd most likely get it instead. I always play evil first, I always slaughter the masses, I always lay waste to the land.
Let's be honest, villains always look better and they are always more powerful. Villains rule.
d1p, finally a launch date, my most antecipate game after, mass effect 3, uncharted 3, skyrim, resistance, last guardian , the wichter(i know its coming for consoles), so many…
finally a dam release date! and not a half bad one too, I was afraid it was gonna be fall or winter. well d1p for me, this could be goty if it does everything i1 did and add just a few things. I dont wanna pay 40 dollars for the junk I wont use, the slingbag would be used to move my ps3 from place to place the statue would sit somewhere and id never listen to a game soundtrack, not my thing, but I do want all that dlc type stuff. I hope I can get some of these things for free on the psn in a year or so. but yeah since I have gs cash's ill be getting it there. cant wait tho, this'll be one of the only games I get for 60. sooo happy now! 🙂
peace out yo
I love collectors editions. And this sure is a sexy one!
*ZAP*
i may organize a raid to attain this piece of software early. Infamous replaced Jak and Daxter in my anticipating-the-next-release-with-religious-fervor behavior, so i imagine i won't be going to work the day of and after release.
January Little Big Planet 2
February Killzone 3
March Yakuza 4
April or May Team Ico Collection
June Infamous 2
September Resistance 3
November Uncharted 3
Waiting for The Last Guardian Release date!
shame the HERO edition is US only.
🙁
sony giving their EU fans the middle finger YET AGAIN!!!!!
why, o why do we put up with them?
oh well at least we get it a little earlier, games got it listed as may 25.
We put up with them because they supply us with awesome games, yeah? At least we get the better box art again.
And take the retailer listing with a grain of salt. The PS AU website has Date: To Be Confirmed, which sucks.
Peace.
Infamous 2 cover for Eu looks way better us version.
Infamous eu hero edition has all that us hero edition has with cole's old Infamous 1 look!
Eu also gets special editions with good cole and evil cole versions!

The old Cole skin is a nice incentive. Seriously, why did the US not get that? And the special edition actually has a lenticular cover based on the US one that switches between good and evil Cole, not two seperate cases. That's how I figure it anyway.
correction, some territories are getting it.
we better get it, and it better not be 250 bucks like the hig edition!
last time i checked 130 USD is a loooooooooooooooooong way away from 250 AUD!
the PS site is always wrong anyway, i remember they had KZ3 listed as march 4th a few weeks ago.
they had the PoP collection as TBC 2011 too.
not saying its official, but game seem to always be the most accurate.
i remember they were the first ones to update crysis 2s date from 2010 to 2011 a few weeks before they announced the delay!
European date????????
usually 3 days after us i think.
I'll most likely get the game shortly after release but this, like almost all CE's, doesn't really entice me beyond the SE.
The "in-game content" will just wind up available on PSN at some point anyway, just like the gigawatt blades.
Hopefully it will be the same for the store incentives, it's annoying when you'd have to buy 4 or 5 copies just to get every little bonus.
I'm not that much of a completionist but it's a nuisance how many games do that nowadays.
I'm lookin at you MK preorder fatalities.
