The new game basically has nothing to do with 1 and 2. I've heard no direct references are made to any of the characters in 1 or 2.
Did you read my post breh? I said I'm currently going through inFamous 1 and I also have 2 on my HDD and that depending on how I like those games will determine if I even get this new one. I said it's gotten repetitive, is that not talking about the gameplay? This thread was about the game's visuals/graphics, and from what I've seen, it looks beautiful... but that doesn't mean I'm going to buy it. If anything I'll wait for it to drop in price.
My lil sis has a WiiU I'll recommend those games for her.
