FYI, this story is more than a year old

The sequel sees the return of super-powered Cole McGrath, who's now blamed with the destruction of Empire City. McGrath begins a journey to the Southern city of New Marais in a bid to uncover the full potential of his super powers.

Sucker Punch's Chris Zimmerman has recently come out swinging at Microsoft, claiming that inFamous 2 would simply not be possible on the Xbox 360. There's just more processing power on the PS3," said Zimmerman to Play Magazine. "If you look at games like Uncharted 2 that's a game that you actually can't do on Xbox no matter how clever you are."

Speaking of Uncharted 2, Sucker Punch has reportedly been working rather closely with the developer of that critically and commercially acclaimed PlayStation 3 exclusive. Naughty Dog has offered Sucker Punch advice on how to improve inFamous' mechanics in the upcoming sequel. "We got some notes from Naughty Dog when we were three months from releasing inFamous about what frustrated them about the climbing system," said Sucker Punch co-founder and producer Brian Fleming to Now Gamer.

"It’s great because it’s like getting feedback from somebody you trust and respect and you know has your best interests at heart. They’re not trying to screw you, they’re saying here’s this piece of information that you can't get from a focus test. Testers don’t understand what it is you're trying to do at the level that someone who spends all day, every day working on Uncharted can."climbing system."

Anyway, enough reading - here's that gameplay footage mentioned earlier!
