I'm definitely closer to the "love" side than "hate".
It's not flawless, but it just feels so good.

This game is totally great. Anyone who hates it hates fun and hates games and hates me, and same to you buddy!

4 hours in and I think i probably like it more than infamous. The thins that Alex can do and the feeling of power is so much more satisfying. Although the exploration element might not be as good. But then again i think crackdown is still the best out of all 3 games when it comes to that point.

ugh i caved and bought it.
It is FUN but very B level fun Not nearly in teh same league as Infamous. Combat is not as fun because the AI is dumb (atleast right now) NPCs barely react to you jumping around.

Impressions and reviews are all over the place. A buddy of mine is buying it, so I'll be able to borrow it from him. I'm definitely still very interested in the game.
After staying up until 3am playing this last night, the one thing I have to take away is that this is a perfect example of gameplay absolutely mattering more than graphics. It's hard to believe they couldn't do a better job of texturing and shading (playing Prototype directly after Infamous is slightly painful) but then you start killing everybody and going on ridiculous rampages and you just stop caring anymore.
I was wondering if it would at least be possible for some kind of player-made mod to up the graphics a bit (think Freespace 2 mods). However, when you go into the PC version's game directory you see that the game is basically 3 gigantic .rfc files. It looks like it's impossible to improve the game without being the original developer. They _really_ didn't want people hacking this game, huh?

Picked it up earlier today, and have played through about an hour and a half so far. So far I'm digging the powers and the story isn't too shabby either. I like the way they present it to. Only spot I had trouble in was fighting the infected for the first time...but other than that I've been having a blast.

I've played through the good side story, and half way through evil story with inFamous, and have put in 3 hours so far in Prototype... please tell me how inFamous isn't as "B level" as Prototype is.

Both games have their weak points. I honestly thought the morality system in inFAMOUS was a load of crap. Normally I'm fine with the black and white stereotypes that developers put in games, but some of the choices that they labeled evil was down right insulting. Being told that I'm evil because I'm not a utilitarian made me want to donkey punch the developers. (PUNish)
Prototype has graphical issues, but overall the game is pretty fun. Both have their ups and downs.

After playing both, they are both B level. Both games have a distinct lack of polish in many areas.

It has nothing to do with being good or evil. The Infamous-Hero ratio seems to be more about how the public percieves you than how good or bad you actually are.

I might have been inclined to agree, had the achievement not popped up afterward saying, "Evil intentions".

The combat, AI ,and level design in Infamous is light years beyond this. Platforming was way more fun as well.

Shouldn't it be damned obvious now that the games simply aren't similar enough to warrant these never ending either or arguments? I've only played Infamous so far, but based on the streams and other media I've come across of Prototype, there seem to be far more differences than there are similarities. Overwhelming differences, even.
Infamous is certainly nowhere near flawless, but it's still a damned good game and the most fun I've had with a game in a long time because I'm in a comic book, beating the living shit out of fucked up enemies with lightning. I'm hoping Prototype packs a similar level of fun, albeit in a completely different way.

Three different reviewers exposing the silliness of the current review system, nice. :lolLoudninja said:
No red flag coming up looking at Metacritic/Gamerankings as well (pretty much the only worth they have), good good. Will get this
used, thanks Kotick.

Just get over it, Andrews, they're similar, they will get compared, even with their different approaches to city traversal and mission structure.
edit: if it helps, I only heard great things about the full version of Infamous from a friend of mine, who wasn't grabbed by the demo as well.
edit²: on a related note, I don't even want to argue this with you (again), so let's just agree to disagree here since it's late and I need to go to fucking bed. >_< sorry.

The thing is, the thread is getting on a good track now that more people are actually playing the game and most seem to be enjoying it so it would be good if we avoided going down the comparison path too heavily. The discussion that will ensue will certainly take us nowhere good at this point in time and imo it would be best to have a dedicated separate thread to such a subject in the near future (that will probably end up in flames).Haunted said:Exactly, because in Prototype you're a larger-than-life protagonist with outstanding, almost superhero-like powers in an open city, beating the shit out of enemies with light- I mean some red/black power stuff. Man, so different.

When you walk through a crowd, you shove people out of the way. I pushed this one guy and he turns and calls me an asshole...so I grabbed his ass and ran straight up the nearest skyscraper, dangled him over the ledge for a few seconds and then flung him a few blocks to his death. Like everything else in this game, it felt tremendous, lol. I LOVE this game.

Some dude talked shit to me, so I picked him up and kept throwing him at a wall. Then when I picked him up again he was alive and calling me an asshole. Threw him in the water

what? ...it's the platform I own and I'm just curious as to what the hell is actually looks like running on the hardware. This wouldn't be a big deal to me but I find it pretty fascinating when this happens with Multiplat titles and I think it's utter bullshit that 3 years in to this console cycle, this still happens
Blimblim said it runs pretty well.AgentOtaku said:

Yeah, the shoving is awesome. If you just barely push the stick so you're walking slowly, you still give a forceful shove to everyone you meet. Everyone gets pissed and starts yelling and staring at you. "What the hell?" "What the hell?" "What the fuck?"

So it's official. The game does not suck. It's a good thing that a few of you completely freaked out and tried to convince everyone that it was garbage based solely on the fact that the embargo ended after the official release date.Felix Lighter said:

The story is pretty shitty. I have no idea what's going on. Every time I try to watch a cutscene I can't force myself to do it.
The sprinting in this game makes it. It's just so easy to play and feel like a bad ass. Running across a street and see a car in your way? Tap B, pick it up, keep running at the exact same speed and throw it at the nearest building. So fun.
