Official Prototype thread

[zilla103192]

Ok... as some of you know... i am buying the new 120GB PS3...

and im thinking of games i should get to start it off...

Prototype... discuss...

[Bret]

One of my first games for the PS3. It's really cool. The problem is that unless you have a HD TV it's hard to see the words on the menu.

[Hellspawn28]

Great game, never finish it due to that one level where you lose half of your powers. I saw the rest of the game on youtube, and I hope they make a sequel.

[Living Corpse]

This game is skreeonk awesome. You really do feel like a one man army when playing it and yeah what Hellspawn said, we need a sequel.

Looks Like We're Getting Another Prototype Game

A second Prototype game? How many people actually want this?

I ask sincerely, because while the first game was OK, it wasn't the kind of thing you'd expect to see a sequel for, especially in a genre where games are so difficult/expensive to make and which is so dominated by the Grand Theft Auto series (not to mention stuff like Red Dead Redemption and Saints Row).

Anyway, the "Murder Your Maker" website, launched to tease a trailer due to be shown at the Spike Video Game Awards later this month, has been updated today to show a brief clip. Brief as it is, though, it's long enough to seemingly tip the game's hat, full as it is with shots of the first Prototype and imagery of New York, the city in which the first game was set.

The Spike Video Game Awards are on Saturday, December 11.

This is really great news

I love this game. It's like putting both Resident Evil and The Thing in a blender and you hit purée. And with a sequel coming along, I can die happy.

I am now going to take the time to adress some parts of the Kotaku article.

Me, and apparently everyone else that played it.

This guy didn't play this game at all did he? I mean, it was sure as hell left open enough for a sequel to be made. PARIAH, hello? Unresolved problem? Were you even paying attention??

Seriously, though, I'm getting the feeling PARIAH is gonna be the big bad for this game. After all, you pretty much killed his mother.... And then ate her. Roaring Rampage of Revenge, anyone?

.....Does no one play games anymore for just the sake of fun? I can tell this guy didn't play the game for more then 5 minutes cause it was a blast. Of course I want another game. My friends want another game too.

Whatever, Kotaku is not the be all end all authority of games so who cares if the guy is a little misinformed?

Also

Translation: WAHHHH!!! The mean old game is too hard to beat. Geeze, my friends always say part of the fun of beating hard games is that you feel like you actually accomplished something instead of just turning on the game and winning for now real logical reason. I have to agree with my friends on that one, otherwise it wouldn't be fun, it'd be boring.

[Hellspawn28]

I can't wait for the sequel, Alex was still alive at the end of the game which made things opean up for a sequel.

Looks like we are going after Alex Mercer this time.

[cloverfan98]

I've been wanting to play theis for a long time now, and I plan on asking for it for Christmas.

[Living Corpse]

So now they made another super mutant who we play as that wants to kill Alex?

Poor Alex, when I first saw the ending of the first game, when I saw him all alone on the shore and reflecting on what he is before leaving I said to myself he will never find peace as long as he lives. Guess I was right after all.

[Hotrod93]

I swear to God I knew they were going to do this, my friend owes me $10 bucks.

[NSZ]

Well... NY's seen better days from the looks of it, and considering how chaotic it got during the first game... And apparently the Redlight virus established a new leader... Could it be Dana, I wonder? After all, she was in Greene's hive for quite a while, we never did see what became of her after leaving her in Ragland's care... It would explain why Mercer went ahead and infected this James Heller, considering at the end of Protoype he was more human than the human he copied, and did everything in his power to stop the infection from spreading.

[zilla103192]

it doesnt really say that thats who we play as... (unless someone can point me to an artictle saying otherwise)

that could very well just be the story.

a new monster made by the same virus as you. stronger, not a prototype... more powers...

That would explain the copy and pasting of powers... But the trailers are saying 'Murder/Destroy Your Maker', and Alex already did that in the first game, so unless this is a case of Never Trust a Trailer...

[gvamp]

If I had to make an intellgient guess about plot based on that trailer, maybe you start off playing as that guy trying to hunt and kill Alex but later in the game you and Alex actually team up? This could be away to introduce co-op into the game .

[Living Corpse]

If a team up does happen then whoever the big bad is in the second games has to be super strong cause Alex alone is enough to level a portion of a city.

[Hellspawn28]

Some new info on the sequel.

[NSZ]

Sweet. This game's gonna eat my soul, I'm gonna be so invested in it.

[Hellspawn28]

I think the new character could be decent. It will be like DMC4 and MGS2 all over again.
