I liked it. In fact I liked it a lot more than Infamous 1 (which was out around the same time).
Prototype 2 will be shown "soon".

You could run straight up skyscrapers at 100mph and dropkick helicopters out of the air.
To this day that is still one of the coolest things I've seen done in a videogame
Pure power fantasy madness.Infamous was the best game out of the bunch for me though, in terms of story and variety and god-like ass-kickery.

I had fun with the game for like 2-3 hour. Will wait for price drop.

I thought it was way too predictable and generic and didn't like the climbing "mechanics" :-/ Crackdown wasn't this spectacular, but it was way more satisfying to play. Not that I want to take your fun away from you
It's just that Crackdown was one of the best and more unique games of this generation, with lots of nice original ideas, including the jumping, the transforming cars, the boss based game structure with the awesome buildings etc.Infamous was, errr, ok. I played it a few times for ten or twenty hours altogether and had some fun. I finished Crackdown at least five times

inFamous is great, unlike the turd that was Prototype.

Agreed on Crackdown 1. I don't know how many times I deleted my save game and replayed through it early on. Great game.I finished Crackdown at least five times
And yeah, I missed the transforming cars. No dev excuse for removing that in Crackdown 2 will ever satisfy me.
But on the topic of the thread I am looking forward to what they've done with Prototype 2. It had potential but needed a LOT of work.

You barely feel superhuman in inFamous, Cole is so weak.

Prototype was better than inFamous at making you feel like a nigh indestructible demigod, but in terms of overall quality inFamous shits all over Prototype from a great height.

Prototype could be tweaked to be something really good.
I want it to be really good.
So let them improve the sequel all they want.

These are pros, imo. The first Prototype was the king of stupid fun before Just Cause 2 came around.

It actually had the opposite problem. A lot of bosses were powered up to compensate for the fact that you were so powerful and, thus, were incredibly unfun.
Invincible you were not.
Prototype was an ugly and deeply flawed game, but it did a few things right. It did traversal better than pretty much any open world game outside of Crackdown with maxed jumping abilities. I liked dashing up skyscrapers and gliding over the city. It definitely appealed to my desire to wreck havoc in open world games, you could do some brutal shit to people. If they take it further in that direction, rather than trying to "refine" everything, it could be something special.

I always thought Prototype1 was a valiant effort of capturing some of the awesome in a bottle that HULK pulled off so well... and to me.. it was. There wasn't a lot better in gaming . (especially right when it came out) than finally getting your powers up enough to run around in armor the entire time. Sure it did hinder your movement quite a bit.... but your basically Guyver. What is not awesome about that?

I disagree. Prototype looked like ass, but it did everything else better. I found both inFamous games to be incredibly boring and tedious.

What I didn't get is that both Prototype and the first inFamous both looked like crap, and yet Prototype ran incredibly well given the average combat scenario is something out of Smash TV. inFamous ran so much worse by doing so much less for whatever reason.
First game was very repetitive, didnt finish it. The city was so boring and ugly. The E3 footage of the sequel looked decent, and there was a lot of potential in the first to be sure.
I think Infamous is better than Crackdown which is better than Prototype, but the three games are a interesting type of city sandbox. I wonder why it hasn't caught on more.

I liked it a lot, but unfortunately I liked it less than Ultimate Destruction..
The "Cheats" menu was a fucking joke. I wanted some low-gravity goodness like in Hulk: UD

I actually feel the opposite. I had a lot more fun with Prototype than I did with inFamous. Cole was such a weakling, I had to fight with a poor substitute for a gun most of the game (stupid lightning bolt bullet ability). And the framerate was so bad on my PS3, it was a chore to play. The climbing mechanic was so bad as well. It had it's moments, that's true, especially later on in the game.
But overall I think Prototype was the better game, for me.
Also, the prerequisite:
Prototype was only 640p on console, and there was a ton of screen tearing on PS3. Infamous had better city views, pretty particles, was 720p and had an uncapped framerate without screen tearing, though I think it could get pretty hectic. Looked better IMO.
Yeah I thought Infamous was garbage and near the top of the list of worst games I played that year. Prototype was a decent and kinda fun game for a rental.
Infamous 2 is better than both though. I'm hoping Prototype 2 can top that.

It's... it's beautiful!
Instead of blades for arms you have hammers, and instead of absorbing human goo you absorb scrap metal from destroying things!
As long as they keep super-jumping, wall climbing, and gliding through the city I'm happy. I loved my Not-Spider-Man's-Venom The Game for those aspects and the random kill missions.
The actual story missions do have to be a lot better though, but I've been waiting for something to fix that for these super powered jump around and punch open city games since the first Spider-Man movie game, and have since lowered my expectations.
No more "find a 100 feathers/orbs" nonsense though. That's horrible in everyday unless they are so abundant like Crackdown it doesn't matter and you just have to max out.

Graphics aside, I had fun with inFamous all throughout the game (despite the bullshit enemy aim accuracy), while Prototype was fun for a couple of hours where you'd spend the time jumping over buildings, kicking helicopters, running up walls and generally just causing random mayhem. The missions, at least as far as I played, just weren't much fun at all, so when fucking up shit got old, the game just stopped being interesting to me.

Definitely buying the sequel. First one was streets ahead compared to Infamous.
Radnet edition trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/watch_as3-vflMfBAqV.swf
It's basically their version of Online Pass, giving out 55 pieces of content on a weekly basis only if you have that edition. Otherwise, you need to buy a code. This is another awful step in this practice. Now it isn't about buying a first-hand copy but the specific limited edition of a game.
Console version coming out in April, the pc version seems to have been delayed to July 24th.

Armor on lets you run through buildings, Leap off the wall of one building, turn armor on, smash though wall of another building, go down a few floors, turn armor off, use noodle arm to grab objective on the other side of the wall. Musclemass, shoryuken through the remaining upper floors, on the roof now, leap off, and piledrive victim 100+ stories.
Welp, that just killed all interest in the game right there.

NDA expires on february 16th. A short interview (bad quality) with Dave Fracchia from Radical:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rNrxGFr7YI
They would love to make a Prototype movie, and Prototype 3 will happen if 2 sells well (obviously).
