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 say a multiplayer sly cooper. Imagine sly cooper with 3 or 4 player co-op

I say make a sly copper on the psp or give it for ready at dawn to work on it and then make infamous 2.

I thought inFamous was awesome. But some more veriaty in the missions and a couple new powers would be great.

Forget Sly Cooper. InFamous was freaking awesome. A sequel is a must.

whats up man, long time no talk

Honestly I never played Sly Cooper. Thus I would much rather prefer Infamous 2. Not to mention Infamous was one of my more favorite title since the launch of the PS3

I say merge both games into one supergame set in the inFamous world but replace Zeke with "The Murray'

Damn, I haven't even finished InFamous 1. Does "aware of current urban style and street fashion." scream Sly Cooper? I thought that was more of a cartoon, but no matter what, I can't wait!

lame. even though infamous was quite a nice surprise how good it was. i'm not looking forward another sequel so soon. i'd rather see another sly cooper title or a whole new ip for sucker punch to undertake

I'm sure a Sony fanboy will already start to claim inFamous 2 will be 2015 G.O.T.Y any minute now.

Lol!
Hey I have to ask. What do you think of the Michael Jackson PS3 game?

another sly cooper would be a great way to use the publicity momentum they got from Infamous to notch another solid AAA title into their belts. Sly Cooper has always been a really good franchise, but it hasn't ever really gotten the attention it deserves. Now is the time to get just that. With that said, I am very excited for the next Infamous game.
