Prototype is looking better than ever in this new trailer

Destructoid Writes:

"When Prototype was announced way back in 2007, I was almost immediately sold on the concept. Sandbox games rank among some of my favorites, even if they often times have their fair share of faults (see: Mercenaries 2).

As time went by, I slowly became less and less interested in Prototype as almost everyone who got to play the open-world game had mostly negative things to say. And wouldn't you know it, I'm once again anticipating Prototype thanks to the video above."

I know, I know, I know...

But Summer?!? Noooooooooo!!!! That's too long!!!

UnSelf5623d ago

SUMMER?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!!?!??!?! ?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I SWEAR IF IT WASNT FOR KILLZONE2 SOMEONE WOULDVE DIED, THIS IS MY 2ND MOST ANTICIPATED GAME OF 09!

chaosatom5623d ago (Edited 5623d ago )

The trailer has me sold. :)

^^^^^^^^^^^^Monkey from dragon ball z. Easy on the CAPS.

Although for this game, I Don't want it to turn into a Hulk game, if u know what I mean. Can anybody provide me with some good info on the game.

UnSelf5623d ago

sry, just love this title.

anyway the game has a pretty good backstory which takes a very far backseat to its gameplay.

Ur this guy named Alex i believed, who is hunted on a quaratined manhattan (i believe), by not only the military but an special secret brach of govt named BlackWater (i believe). Throughout the game u grow to learn that ur power seem to have no limits and u go from having things like fast running, and high jumpin, to shift changing and damn near flyin. Ur strength increases also and it u soon get to a point where ur able to activate these powers at will.

Where it differs from titles like the hulk is that in most superhero games when u acheieve a lvl of strenght ur always that lvl of strength but here ur strength, speed, abliities are linked through forms. Kinda like that kid from Ben 10. (dont ask me how i kno about that show i only seen 1 episode)

Aclay5623d ago

Summer 2009 may be a while away, but I think that InFamous will be able to hold you over.

Right now I think that Prototype looks pretty good, but right now I'm liking how InFamous is shaping up much more. InFamous will probably be taking WAY more advantage of the PS3's hardware than Prototype, that's for sure.

Bill5623d ago

The other consoles are slowly but surely getting overshadowed by Sony's Playstation 3 with the upcoming games and current features. Unless some BIG announcements are made from Gang Green, its looking to be a long year and without any more price drops...it'll STAY a long year this time.

Panthers5623d ago

Infamous should help too. I wonder which will be better. I have been looking forward to InFamous since its announcement.

SuperM5623d ago

Not convinced. Back when it was announced i thought it looked very cool, but when i saw more gameplay it just looked way to plain and boring. The graphics pale in comparison to Infamous, and the gameplay seems to do the same.

This trailers looked alright, but it didnt really show how the game plays at all. And the gameplay vids ive seen look kinda boring. Anyway i hope this game turns out great, but i have a feeling its not gonna be as great as many people think.

Dmitry Orlov5623d ago

I WANT IT!
NOW!!!11
When I first saw it on GDC'07 I was sold.
ARGH! So long till summer.. + summer univercity exams... DAMN IT!

Matpan5623d ago

Nice game!!! IWant It, Want it!!!

BTW: I just Gave you a bubble, Bubbles. Idk... something about your name left me this feeling you needed to earn one from me. Go figure, strange subliminal messages...

We can play killzone 2 in the mean while my friend

rhood0225623d ago

This current version looks A LOT better than previous iterations. In fact, it actually looks like it could be a fun title. Now, if the story is a decent sci-fi tale (it doesn't necessarily have to be a masterpiece of story telling) then I am sold.

Between this and Infamous, it's going to be a good year for sandbox game enthusiasts.

UnSelf5623d ago (Edited 5623d ago )

The sandbox genre, ideally speaking, is the ideal, essential genre of the videogame medium.

Think about it.

In games , we find ourselves goin back to them to set ourselves free from our real lives into our surreal lives.....a life where we want no boundaries or limits to our possibilities. We want no barriers or limitation, no places where something or someone can say "no u cant go here or be there" and only in a sandbox game can u truly acheieve this.

From our Mario days to our Zelda days, we crown these titles as suberb becuz of where their essence lied. Though Mario wasnt open world per se, it invited u into a world wit lil limitation and then became fully open world in its other technically improved iterations which leads me to believe Mayamoto, if he had the techinology, wouldve made Mario open world from jump. Zelda has always been about an open world quest. One of its open world installments is so great is sometimes heralded as the best game ever created. (OOT).

And what other titles fall into this catergory? GTA3 post series- (open world). Praised.

Zeldas (open world) praised
Marios (open world) praised

Even games like Crackdown (my personal fav game of all time) and LOK: Soul Reaver receievd amazing scores and this is a trend u neva see change wit open world titles. Ones that are innovative and original that is.

I wish not at all to undermine any other genre out there as K2 is my number 1 most anticipated game of the 1st half yr of 09 and that is a FPS shooter. My point is simple.......open world games is the reason we play games essentially. Sure over time we grow to accept, like and even love other genres like sports, racing, fighting etc but open world or in other words Ultimate Freedom games captures us from our NES days and everytime we sample a bit of open world in any title, we smile wit glee.

Next time u play a game think about it. Whether it be a Rpg or a racing game, pay attention to the open world aspect of it and when u find it......just think of how much more fun ur experience is.

Prototype and Infamous are both looking awesome.I can't wait to play both on my PS3 later on this year!!

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos37d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto37d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8837d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies37d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Six Activision Games I’d Like to See Revived Under Microsoft

As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.

MadLad860d ago

Another Prototype would be awesome.

As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.

That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.

Crows90860d ago

As great as that would be the deal wont finalize until end of fiscal year 2023. Until after that date MS wont really have a say as to where resources will be spent. So we wont realistically see anything until perhaps 2026 or later.

LWOGaming859d ago

I think that’s a point that so many people are missing. Things will not change this year or next year at all. Maybe some changes might be apparent in 2024 but 2025/2026 is a good estimate of when things will really start happening. And I don’t think we will see as big a set of changes as some are suggesting.

TallDarknWavy860d ago

Those teams having not worked on anything, the employees find jobs at other companies, they don't just remain unemployed till someone at the publisher decides to revive the team, they need to eat lol

That said, this list of games makes me unexcited for anything outside of CoD that Activision has to offer. All games are in stale genres, like Guitar Hero, Simpsons Hit and Run, these are long surpassed genres that are going to be difficult to revive.

gamer7804860d ago

I want to see new IPs. Not a bunch of forced renovations of old franchises.

Gamer75860d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer7804860d ago

@gamer75 if it is a combination it has to have my seal of approval. Such as a new Warcraft game or a new Warcraft mmo, or an action game based off the night elves orcs and humans if it’s a new IP. I’ll let you know after I talk with Microsoft

King_Noctis860d ago

Man I’ve been waiting for Protoype since the last one. Protoype could seriously be MS’ answer to Infamous (freaking loved that game as well, hope Sony make a new one soon).

porkChop860d ago

I'd love to see Raven take another crack at Heretic and Hexen.

MadLad860d ago

That's one I see being tossed around a lot to bring back, even if not from Raven themselves.

Put so many hours into those games over the years.

I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.

jaymacx860d ago

You deserve a 1000 likes haha 😂. It’s a shame High Moon didn’t get to continue making Transformers. If they got a decent budget i think most of us TF fans would be excited.

wolf581859d ago (Edited 859d ago )

Ms bought Activision and everybody dancing for what? For cod? Ms want to atleast earn some money Back from those 70 billion dollars.... The only thing they count on is more gamepass subscribers via Activision cod, diablo and over watch 2 1st Day free at gamepass. If they decide to make them exclusive to xbox they Will lose profit from ps4 and 5 sales. As For a New ip or an existing ip like over watch 3,diablo 5 or anything else like a New transformers Dont you think that developers need at least 3 years to Do something decent?
Anyway my opinion is that ms want to make videogaming Just a subscription a la netflix and that ps5 will beat xboxsx in sales like ps4 beat xbox and xbox one x..... All the money ms spending It Will defentily make more gamepass subscribers as for games we all must wait at least 3 more years... And thats why ps5 will get ahead in sales they have more AAA in the pipeline already plus lets see their answer for gamepass... P. S i Dont support subscriptions from neither company and i didnt buy switch plus for n64. If they give me the option to buy n64 games then yes i Will buy them but i am not paying for a rental.
