The first game itself was developed by Sucker Punch Productions after the Sly Cooper series and released it as in HD mode
The protagonist's name is Cole MacGrath. Infamous (2006) was written and directed by Douglas McGrath.
The cutscenes are an attempt to tell stories that feel genuine in a graphic novel sense. They are made by 4 artists and animators in the course of over a year.
Though Sucker Punch productions could have opted to request the necessary funds from Sony to increase the team size and finish the game in two years, producer Brian Fleming noted that Sucker Punch's iteration-based development approach worked better with a smaller team size.
One of the things that the developers enjoyed about superhero stories is the process of understanding where powers came from and why they are there.
