Sucker Punch Staffing Up, Job Listings May Hint At inFamous 2

The almost universally positive response to Sucker Punch Production's first recent non-Sly Cooper game, the anti-hero open-world adventure inFamous, would suggest that a sequel is pretty much a given. But could inFamous 2 already be in development? There's a small hint, filed away in a new Sucker Punch job listing that could suggest that's actually true.

Sucker Punch added three new job descriptions to their web site yesterday -- art director, lead animator, lead character artist -- that were all for the studio's "forthcoming AAA title," which is so far unannounced. The rumor's been that Sucker Punch would return to Sly Cooper before inFamous 2, but maybe the company's actually working on both.

A bullet point in the description for lead character artist is what tipped me off, as one of the requirements is being "aware of current urban style and street fashion." That jives with the look of Cole and other characters. Unless the next Sly Cooper is aiming for realism, I'm guessing this is for the inFamous team.

Of course, this is almost the definition of a non-story. inFamous 2? Duh. It's just a matter of Sucker Punch getting far enough into development to finally talk about it, which isn't going to be for some time. Any suggestions for the team?

    I really just do not understand this fanboy mentality. I think its ruining gaming and honestly its ruining all of my favorite websites. I rarely look at comments anymore because you guys are so damned annoying.

    Honestly, someone coming here to bash this game is ill-informed and just ignorant and pathetic. But you know what else is pathetic? The opposite side of this stupid phenomenon, sitting back and acting like they are the bigger "man".

    You're all pathetic boys, as you must be to devote yourselves to something so ridiculous. Its like you guys sit back, waiting...just waiting, reading every post waiting for the tipoff to insert your 2 cents and further annoy everyone normal, sane person.

    l33t360, what are you doing? Huh? There's only one way to profile you, and its completely pathetic. I wish there was a way to just get people like you kicked off of the internet permanently. The world would only benefit.

    Observe 40 year old creep, just got off his shift at ups, drinking a tallboy, angry at the world, feels better when he insults individuals that he imagines are 12 years old on a video game website, single, unmarried, has no kids.

    Thundercrapper, you are way too easy to profile.

    minor Spoiler warning! The ending to Infamous is strong, but it leaves you wondering where everyone else went!? lol Infamous 2 would be my first guess. Great game.

    Thanks. By the way, do you know when you have an Xbot troll beat? When they can't think of a good comeback and they're forced to say something completely stupid and lame and come up with such a silly story that sounds like a 10 year old made it up.

    RROD is still King.

    A little bird told me that all of sony's gaming studios are teaming up to form a company called 'Flops R Us'. And something about Sony wanting to make sure they crank out as many mediocre games as they can in their 10 year plan. Sounds interesting.

    I don't mind inFamous 2, but I'd like to see something new. Like Wozman23 sez, combine the 2 and we have another winner. =D
