At PAX 10 this past week Sucker Punch held a panel regarding Infmous' development. The game went through many, many iterations since its original pitch to Sony. Some of the things have been put in the game but most were kicked to the cutting room floor.

Until Sucker Punch nailed down the final gameplay and character designs Cole at one point had dreadlocks and was called 'Gear Wolf'. The character also used to ride a trial like motorcycle to get through the city. The other concept for large area city movement was a disk shaped hoverboard. Interesting. Before Cole was finalized he used to wield guns which developed into lightning powers after many redesigns. Sucker Punch showed off some powers which did not make the game including 'Minion Power' which possessed groups of pedestrians to attack enemies and the ability to posses a single pedestrian which could be powered by lightning and blown up like a balloon.
