Game Development:
Gaming journals reported the likelihood of a sequel to Infamous due to a Twitter post made by actor David Sullivan reporting on auditioning for the role of Cole in the game's sequel. In April 2010 it was reported that Sony had purchased the domain name 'infamousthegame.com', increasing speculation that a sequel was in development. The game was unveiled when Game Informer released the cover for their July 2010 issue which features a preview of the game.
The design of the main character, Cole, initially underwent many changes, to the extent of making him look like a different character. However, after being "taken aback by the uproar of fan support for the original Cole," Sucker Punch combined elements of the original with the new design. Some of Cole's clothing was changed to suit the setting of the game. The voice actor was also changed because Sucker Punch, now using motion capture technology, needed someone who could do Cole's facial features and his voice.
The cut scenes have been improved with motion capture technology to create a more cinematic experience. The stylized cut scenes from the first will carry over into the sequel, they will be reserved for bigger moments in the game.

Sucker Punch has worked to improve on the open world aspect of the gameplay. This includes expanding the players' effect on the city in general. In the sequel, phone booths, telephone poles, even buildings, can all be affected by the way Cole's powers are used. The city's populace will also react in a more realistic manner than in Infamous.
The melee combat in the game has been redesigned from the original, changing the experience to be more smooth and involving. Cole's powers have also been reimagined to include the use of the ice element. Sucker Punch also insinuated that the players' ethical decisions in the first game may also affect the second, saying that they wouldn't want to "disappoint" fans who may have spent hours earning their reputation, but would also need to factor in if the player had not played the first game.
Sucker Punch was using around 30% of the cell processor by the end of Infamous, and that for Infamous 2, they were "creeping up over 50 and 60%, because [they] know how to put things on to the Cell processor.
