Rumor Thirst: inFamous Sequel in the Works

The first was a surprise smash hit. Sucker Punch delivered a solid open world experience staring the good guy bad guy (which ever you choose) Cole. inFamous was critically acclaimed as one of the best games to land of the PS3 thus far, with some even nominating the action packed 'bad boy take no prisoners' title as contender for game of the year. In the sales department, inFamous held its own, selling over 176,000 units in one week, topping out the Playstation geniusly crafted title LittleBigPalnet which sold 107,000 in the first week.

So it comes as no surprise (even it's labeled as a rumor) that Sony and Sucker Punch would be hard at work on a sequel after the success of the first. And now it looks like the character Cole in inFamous is being recast for a sequel. The hint comes in a twitter post by actor David Sullivan. Here's the twit:

First voiceover/motion caption audition today for a video game. Recasting of Cole in the Sequel to inFamous. "I'll melt your face." eg.

Big info to release on twitter if you ask me; he probably never thought of the gaming media, too bad, we're like hungry lions, watch your mouth Sullivan. Wonder if he'll still have a chance after this humongous flap? Oh well.

No Modern Warfare 2 Demo

The game according to Bobby Kotick, that has the potential of being the biggest entertainment release of all time, won't receive a demo. Nope, it's either you're in or out on this one, which I suspect most of you are in. So if you've been on the purchasing fence, uh, you might be there for a long time. Who knows, a demo could always find its way on PSN and XBLA after the game's released, but for now, none. Infinity Ward had this to say on the studio's official twitter page:

"No plans for demo before launch. The entire team is focused on polish all the way up to ship of the full game."

That's just the way it is folks, in life, we don't always get what we want, and in this case, you'll just have to wait till launch. Go take a nap. You'll feel better.
