Here is my view on how both ending may be made cannon and para epic rin and [supposed] to be revival ni Cole for inFamous 3.Xezcente wrote:Hindi ko alam kung paano sila gagawa ng inFamous 3. If they revive Cole, it's going to feel like an ass pull.
Take my "Evil Cole is the Beast in Kessler's Time" theory, then we get the ending that Good Cole was struck and revived by the bolt. By being struck by pure lightning, his abilities developed further and allowed him to do some of the things Kessler can do, especially the Space-Dimensional Rip through time.
Now here is my story theory, Good Cole after being revived, can now feel energies coming from different Timelines and he will detect that The Beast [but this time Evil Cole] is still alive and still proves to be a potential threat against all humanity, especially since this Beast can also jump between the separate dimensions of the inFamous timeline. Thus Cole decided to take a trip back in time to confront this new Beast, but deciding to discard his own name in favor of using the name "Kessler".
Tapos, we get a scene of Cole [Kessler from inFamous 1] awakening his powers for the first time without the Ray Sphere. We [the players], then assume the role of Cole as he battles to reclaim Empire City from the rule of the First Sons, lead by a younger and stronger Alden, while learning on how to control his new found powers along the way. After the First Sons Saga, Cole will then have his first encounter with The Beast but "Kessler" [inFamous 2's Good Cole] came just right in time to save him, then they will work together in figuring out on how to defeat The Beast.
Well afterwards, I think the script writer can already think of something epic as an ending, I'm thinking along the lines that "Kessler" will die protecting Cole [or even Trish with matching: "This time, I saved you" dialogue for more emotional impact] near the end-game, but before dying he will transfer all his powers to his alternate-timeline counter-part which will finally allow Cole to defeat and kill The Beast for good.
Final ending for the good path will Cole's wedding with Trish, then the game will finally have a great closure to the series.
