"All in all, Prototype is one of the best games to release this generation and is definitely the best game to drop in 2009 (so far). Outside of the lackluster stealth and disguising mechanic, the brutal combat, huge open-world, varied challenges, and utterly satisfying gameplay makes this a must-have title for any serious gamer's collection. Get ready to put your life on hold!"


Sounding like this is going to be one of those love it/hate it games. I have mine sitting here, waiting to put the kids to bed before playing though.

Can someone with a PS3 copy tell me if the box says its 1080i compatible?

That actually looks a lot better than I expected, again. I keep thinking it looks great and then I'll read some impressions that aren't crazy about it and then I'll see it again in action and then I'll think it looks great again.

Yeah I watched a stream the other day and it just looks like a ton of fun. I also really dig the soundtrack.

Def getting this tommorrow.

 

[pixel monkey]

I have a feeling something terrible is on the horizon.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

So awesome. What store was that? A GameStop?

I hope just minor injuries and no deaths from that runaway kitty.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

That battle looks a whole lot like the fight with Abomination in Hulk UD

Guys, I've been putting the reviews that are popping up on the OP. I don't know much about the "credibility" of these sites or whatever so if someone disagrees with something or want a review that's not there to be added, tell me (and the reason why) and I'll edit.

Looks like fun.. but I looks a little buggy. Just saw the inside of Alex's head.. and I'm pretty sure that boss got stuck in that corner for a while.

Eh, just add them all. Considering that sites are actually holding their reviews because the damned publisher demanded that they do so, one could certainly make the argument that the credible gaming site is a laughable concept.

 

[mysticstylez]

I hate this shit, yesterday I was all over this shit, now I'm not sure.

 

[McLovin]

Oh he finally beat that guy.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

"Fuck!"

The dialogue in this game is apocalyptically bad.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

What the hell is up with that dude's voice? He sounds like he's trying to shit out a dry turd while impersonating Brando.

With a heaping helping of throat gravel.

Pretty much. I Just wanted to make that little disclaimer to avoid any potential drama.

 

[DrBo42]

Based on the stream, it looks fun. I think I'll pick this up at ToysRus if that gift card deal really is in effect.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

This looks exactly like Hulk UD right now. Stream isn't working so well, though.

 

[SlasherJPC]

This game makes me think of a more melee based "crackdown". Can't wait.

Like Crackdown...on crack!

;D

 

[SlasherJPC]

Like Crackdown...on crack!

;D

Yeah I was watching a stream the other day and the ammount of chaos onscreen was just insane!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I dig this weird Parallax View storytelling shit.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Can you not land on cars and crush them?

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

I sort of wish they had done something more with the menus and the general UI, feels very, uh, gamey. Nitpick, but hey.

And :lol slashertrasher, quite busy in the stream chat eh?

 

[SlasherJPC]

Yeah, the other stream I was watching the other day, I was a mod! Someone asked me "Do you feel like god?" All I could say was... "If someone ask if your a god, you say yes!" :lol

 

[McLovin]

That free roaming looks like fun... that's pretty much my favorite part about inFamous. Maybe I'll pick this up for PC. I'll have to check if its up on steam.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Ah! THERE's the car smashing I was looking for.

Holy shit!

 

[mysticstylez]

One thing I notice in this video is that there is a hell of a lot less slowdown jumping off of a building in Prototype than their is in inFamous.


Ok after watching that dude flying so high in the sky, and seeing a good draw distance, and a smooth framerate, im buyin this game. I'll take a hit in visual quality if I can do this stuff.

 

[McLovin]

I thought the game released on the 9th. Why does steam say I have to wait till the 10th? I was seriously gonna make an impulse buy

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I think it's over.

 

[SlasherJPC]

I think it's over.

The stream? Its still running for me!

 

[McLovin]

I think it's over.

refresh

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I think it's over.

Stream is still up.

The buildings look really flat, and the guy looks like he's wearing in-line skates when he sprints... but there's something kind of appealing about this game.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Right now the guy also doesnt have access to his powers. In case anyone is wondering why he isn't using his stuff as much.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Remember when I asked for the ability to perform all those crazy moves in someone elses body? Yeah, no. That didn't look so good after all.

What version is that? Looks great!

 

[DrBo42]

360

 

[McLovin]

It looks buggy but it also looks like allot of fun. I'm really into jumping super high and getting to high places in video games. The only thing that really puts me off is how violent the guy is. Those absorption animations look really brutal. At least they let you skip them.

 

[SlasherJPC]

The way he absorbs people, dragging their bodys in his flesh looks awesome!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Jesus CHRIST he's just a fucking gloopy tangle of corpses!!

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Does the music play like that all the time? I've had issues with the stream, but that music have played at the same intensity during every scene I've caught. Is it at all dynamic?

It seems like it's the same (or at least similar) for missions or infected areas maybe. Looks like I'll definitely be needing a special El-P deluxe playlist for this one.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Wow, they really nailed the deco texture of the Chrysler Building

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Good catch on the music. Wow that's bound to be annoying, fast.

 

[Loudninja]

Looks pretty good, hope the PS3 version is good :/

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

This shit is really non-stop for this poor mass murderer.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Still want to read a few select reviews, but I think I've seen enough to make up my mind.

 

[opkal]

Stream looks pretty good but I'll still wait on reviews before I commit to a purchase. It's kinda funny that Alex can pick-up cars and launch them 50 feet yet struggles to open a locked hatch on a tank.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I love these blasted out red streets with dead cars and people flipping out everywhere.

 

[Loudninja]

wow this mission never ends :lol
