Infamous vs Prototype

GamingVice.net:

"This is one of the more prominent arguments made between PS3 and XBOX 360 fans, the argument whether or not there is little difference between the PS3 and 360 ceiling-wise or if the 360 is holding back the PS3 version of games due to the difference in storage capacity of Blu-ray being 25GB per layer and the 360 supporting DVD9 and only being able to use 7GB for the game while using 2GB of space on the disc for Copyright Protection which sounds like a big deal, so I'm going to go over a few things to see if Prototype seems cheapened due to the disc capacity."

Infamous for me looks and will play better

chaosatom5524d ago (Edited 5524d ago )

First the Prototype = More Advanced Hulk Combat
Second Infamous = Looks to have a awesome storyline and really polished game.

Also I don't like prototypes' "shape-shifter which allows you to consume your enemies and includes absorbing their DNA, looks, abilities and memories"
---Although the idea is cool, I have my doubts if it's going to fun and how they are implementing it.

Also who is making prototype? Sucker punch has track record of making excellent games.

- Ghost of Sparta -5524d ago

Prototype, developed by a bunch of nobodies who have never even made a good game lol. Last time I saw Prototype it had more framerate issues than GTA IV and Fallout 3 combined.

gambare5524d ago

PS3 users won't have to break their heads deciding which one is better because they will play both

eagle215524d ago

PS3 Exclusive VS. Multiplatform.......... LMAO

And judging from multiplatform SFIV selling equal in america and better on PS3 worldwide, that argument is done as well."teh sales... "

Chubear5524d ago

All it means is the PS3 fanbase get the opportunity to experience these two games and the 360 base can only experience one.

ZuperAmazingCooKie5524d ago

As a PS3 owner I can and will have both

dachiefsman5524d ago

I see no other xbox fan's debating this.

I think they both look good, but prototype is more visceral and i like me some blood n' guts. I will definitely play both.

Eiffel5524d ago

The last time you saw it was before the games delay since its delay they polished nearly everything about the game. But of course anything that's not PS3 with you is a negative.

Danja5524d ago

I wont lie im looking forward to Infamous more because im a big fan of Sucker Punch games and im sure they will deliver on quality , plus Infamous seems really cool in the way they approach the gameplay and how everything around you affects how you play the game..

but Prototype is looking good also..im gonna buy both day one ne ways , this game is the complete opposite of Infamous so why even compare ...this is an action game on steroids...looks cool..

support both....quit b!tching because one is PS3 exclusive.

pain777pas5524d ago

If prototype is a multiiplat this article is bullsh#t for PS3 owners who could give 2 f#cks about which is better. Is N4G just to b#tch about sh$t that doesn't even f#cking matter.

Alcon5523d ago

Why always bring things down to PS3 vs 360.
anyway, I'll probably get both. Why hate on Prototype. It seems to be a nice game. I'm more pro Sony, but some here are bashing Prototype just because it's a multiplat, and goes to the 360 as well. That's just stupid. You're judging and comparing two games that did not come out yet? (based on some vids?) Buy both games, play them, and then you'll be entitled to tell us if X game is good or not , or if it's better than the other.

Myth5523d ago

I bet Microsoft buys up some exclusive DLC for prototype.

xboxlj5523d ago

I think I would prefer prototype over infamous. I have actually pre-ordered prototype, but think I will just rent infamous. My biggest issues with infamous is its lack variety in the environments, not being able to use weapons or vehicles, and the story seems like it will be on the cheesy side. I may give it a rent thouhg

DaTruth5523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

This is it! The multiplat vs. PS3 exclusive. whichever comes out more technically advanced, wins the console war. All 360 fanboys have is "Teh multiplats lookz better on 360". If between these 2 games, Infamous is technically better, "Teh multiplats" no longer matter.

I won't be getting Prototype because it looks like Spiderman 3 and late at night sometimes, I still think about that $60(shakes fist)! Actually it was $70 because the Can dollar was still low back than.

Marquis_de_Sade5523d ago

I'm looking forward to inFamous more personally, although that could change with time.

MNicholas5523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

Visuals: Infamous is visibly superior. Better textures, better lighting, better shadows, and much higher polygon count. This is a matter of numbers rather than taste and, clearly, Infamous easily wins.

Gameplay: Based on what little has been revealed about these games and both do an equally good job of turning ideas into gameplay, the concept behind Prototype is more interesting to me. Simply put, DNA absorption interests me more than shooting electricity. However, this is not a fact but rather it is highly subjective and based on personal preferences rather than measurable numbers.

So which game is actually better? We'll just have to wait and see.

y0haN5523d ago

Infamous looks grand, hope it does well is all I can say.

I'm sure I'll be happier with Infamous as it is 'built' for PS3 ... and its Sucker Punch.

there clearly was a misunderstanding, good looks columbo..

I think both games are going for different things so they both should be good

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.

Profchaos8d 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

Tacoboto8d 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?

banger888d ago

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

ChasterMies8d 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.

The inFamous games deserve more love from Sony

The inFamous games are an important part of PlayStation history, but the series is in limbo and playing older entries isn't exactly easy.

LucasRuinedChildhood75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Would like remasters of 1 and 2. I enjoyed them much more than Second Son.

1 & 2 had more of an emphasis on climbing and the traversal requires a bit more effort in a good way. It was rewarding. Second Son made climbing mostly obsolete so they put little effort into it. The traversal was just great in inFamous 1 & 2. There's a reason Sunset Overdrive copied and improved upon the induction grind mechanic.

Reminds me of how I felt about the decline of parkour and the well designed tombs (basically Prince Of Persia levels) that we saw in the Assassin's Creed games.

The story and atmosphere were also much better in 1 & 2.

Electricity is just a brilliant superpower for an open world city. It perfectly fits just like webslinging does in New York and it has many applications.

Cacabunga75d ago

For sure.. one of my favorite Sony licenses

Shane Kim75d ago

Loved one and two. I actually liked the story as well.

Minute Man 72175d ago

The standalone DLC was a sweet

jznrpg75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

I enjoyed Second Son but it was too short. The first 2 were great though

-Foxtrot74d ago

Second Son was alright but didn't touch the first two games

It felt short and lacking in comparison

Also I really thought Reggie would have made a better protagonist, someone who is anti-conduit as much as him and ends up becoming one would have been interesting to see. I kind of enjoyed his character throughout the game as his development.

badz14974d ago

why is it right now, the thing I want the most from Sony is to release remasters of inFamous (1,2 & SS), KZ (1,2 & 3), Resistance (RFoM, 2 and 3) and Motorstorm (1,2 & 3)??

The_Hooligan74d ago

All great choices. I would like to add Warhawk/Starhawk to that. The multiplayer in Warhawk was amazing. I am surprised Sony hasn't looked into MAG either. That game was ahead of its time.

Maybe Sony should make an internal studio like Bluepoint games and all they do is remake/remaster these amazing games, even going back to PS1,PS2,PSP, Vita portfolio. And because of the recent articles suggesting cost cutting, budget issues and releasing more games on PC, they could do that with these remakes/remasters. Do a day one on PC and PS5. At the end of the day Sony or any other company is going to do what makes them the most money.

kpgs75d ago

Wouldn't the onus be on the consumers? If they bought the Infamous games, then we'd have more games from that series.

KwietStorm_BLM75d ago

Infamous has sold millions of units. People have been asking for more. They aren't interested. Just like people have been asking for more Resistance or even a remaster collection, but insomniac isn't revisiting that either. Likely never getting a new sequel since they're a Marvel studio now.

LucasRuinedChildhood75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

No. Infamous was successful. But after a few entries (which are taking longer to make these days) a lot of Sony studios move on to new IPs. That's not a bad thing at all. They don't need to make inFamous games forever, just like we didn't need new Sly Cooper games forever.

But people would like to be able to easily play them on current hardware which is reasonable. Same for Killzone, Resistance, MGS4, etc. Good games shouldn't be trapped on old hardware. It's good that Bluepoint ported Uncharted 1-3.

kpgs75d ago

I'm not saying it wasn't successful. I enjoyed playing all 3 entries and DLC. But like you said, people move on, studios move on. But I don't think I've heard people asking for more Infamous in a long time.

Profchaos75d ago

The franchise was popular we got quite a few games but Suchet punch wanted to beach out I think that's why we got ghost of Tsushima over infamous 4

Tbh ghost is a fantastic game I'm not complaining about that but I'd love to see infamous handled by another team

jznrpg74d ago

Id take GoT2 over Infamous right now but after GoT2 or maybe 3 if they go trilogy I’d like a new Infamous.

badz14974d ago

that's the problem with Sony that puzzles me A LOT! they have studios specifically specialized in remastering and remaking old games for new gen hardware, but we are getting very few of them. SoTC, Uncharted collections, Demon's Souls Remake, TLoU Part 1...and?? that's it? why aren't they giving their old games new lease of life on the PS5 for the new generations of gamers to enjoy? they clearly have the expertise. for god sake, I can even accept lazy porting like Nintendo are doing for theirs if I have to.

FinalFantasyFanatic74d ago

There are a lot of games that consumers have been asking Playstation for, Playstation won't do it, so a lot of these developers have gone and made it themselves by any means possible such as Kickstarter (e.g. Armed Fantasia, Penny Blood, Ratatan, 100 Heroes, ect...). Developers have even asked if Sony could help them out with porting/remasters some of these older games for Playstation, they said no.

Crows9074d ago (Edited 74d ago )

Um...dude like you say that as if nobody bought them....the devs went on to do ghosts after 3 infamous games....3

People ask for new resistance and new infamous at every moment where it makes sense to mention it.

Having a remake of 1 and 2 would be very welcomed I'm sure.

chicken_in_the_corn75d ago

I would love to see a new game but a feel that would get a response similar to Saints Row.

TravsVoid75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

If they keep any of the characters from the previous games I think it would do fine unlike Saints Row which decided to replace fan favorites with less likable replacements. I wouldn't be surprised if that decision caused a majority of their buyers to be new to the series rather than returning players. I will say though, if Infamous Second Son or the first two Infamous games were remade I would be a day one buyer on PC.

ocelot0775d ago

Loved all 3 of them. I couldn't get on with the vampire spin off though. Wish they didn't move away from cole but I didn't mind the other character.

DefenderOfDoom275d ago

Loved 1 and 2 , would definitely love a new INFAMOUS single player campaign.

Nixxes Software Can't Go Wrong With An Infamous Remaster

Nixxes' Remaster focus could set the stage to resurrect many obscure titles like the karma-centered, superpower-fueled sandbox of Infamous.

maniacmayhem291d ago

Infamous remaster? How about an Infamous re-Boot! This is one game that doesn't need a remaster, it needs either a proper equal of a reboot of the original. And since Sony is currently in development with Marvel, i can totally see them having guest marvel characters to appear in Cole's world.

BanginTunes290d ago

This is one of the worst things I have ever read

1Victor290d ago

I would prefer Warhawk or Starhawk ether or both will keep us fans happy for a looooooooong time

The_Hooligan290d ago

Warhawk would be awesome! So many good memories playing that game on PS3. They could do a massive 50v50 mode, battle royal with last Warhawk standing, classic 20v20 mode, so many options.

shinoff2183290d ago

I'd rather infamous. Sonys got enough online bs in the pipeline. No need to add more.

1Victor290d ago

@shinoff I disagree with you both of those games was extraordinarily fun to play just the satisfaction of transforming your plane into a bot and stomp a enemy then transform and fly off on Starhawk was a experience that hasn’t been replicated since.
The game was extremely valanced to the point you could go against a tank on foot and win with the ratchet or 1 shot a plane doing a massive attack with your tank. In Warhawk you could pick up half your team and fly them to a base and take it over but those are experiences you had to play to know how awesome those game was even YouTube videos don’t do justice to those game.
Anyways I’ll stop here or I’ll run out of words to post a wall text taking about those games

Christopher290d ago

Here's the thing, infamous and *hawk are such different games and with different audiences that Sony could... do both at the same time? Nixxes doesn't need to be involved in the shooter (that would be new for them I think since they usually do SP games) but someone else could and Nixxes could share support with development/engine needs.

shinoff2183290d ago

1victor

Ya know Christopher is right they are completly different games. Me personally I don't value online games I just don't care for them. Hell in another bubble I probably enjoy them. In this bubble nah I just prefer single player unless I'm playing Mario or Mario party with my girl and kids or something.

1Victor289d ago

@shin of course I know Chris is right but the games have to be approved first before assignment to a studio I didn’t mean this studio in particular making those game I meant the approval process and Sony harder push on MMO games.
I’m just one of the millions of players that loved those game and a top 800 word wide ranked on Starhawk and proud owner of its platinum trophy

DankSinatra290d ago

A remaster would allow people who don't have access to a ps3 to experience the game since there's so many stuck on the ps3 that are exclusive to the console and Sony refuses to invest in backwards compatibility

darthv72290d ago

Who doesnt have access to a ps3? There were over 87m of them sold. They are cheap and easy to find. Just like wii and ps2.

shinoff2183290d ago

Or maybe it's just not ready yet, ps3 was a different kinda animal.

DankSinatra290d ago

@darthv72

Not everyone is willing to go out and buy a ps3 for a single game or a handful of games when they have a ps4 or a ps5. A port or remaster would actually help. Younger audiences who did not grow up with a ps3 would have exposure to these games that Sony has essentially left behind on the ps3 due to them not investing in backwards compatibility. If they would do backwards compatibility then we wouldn't need to shill out more money for the same games. Something I actually applaud microsoft for (the only thing they have done that's good).

zaanan290d ago

Agree, and PS3 is getting long in the tooth, so failure rates will be going up. I had to send my slim in for repair years ago.

"Either a proper sequel or a reboot of the original"

And people aren't with Cole interacting with cameos from Marvel? Especially with Sony making Spider Man and Wolverine?

Why exactly would that be a bad idea? Especially with the multiverse being a huge deal and all.

There's enough Marvel. Let's not spread it everywhere and let other IPs be their own thing. Please.

Infamous 1-2 collection would be amazing on current generation. God of War 1-2 and PSP games also playable on PS5 Yes please. And last but not least MGS4

Keep the visuals style as is ... just improve the LoD and the resolution

ArchangelMike290d ago

Now that COD is in Microsofts back pocket, it's time for Sony to start investing in it's own 1st party shooters. I loved Killzone - even Shadowfall. But Yeah Killzone 2 was the high point of the Franchise.

ClayRules2012290d ago

Yes. KZ2 was the high point of the franchise and a strong, solid and just bloody fantastic shooter! Had so much fun those days with the game.

Neonridr290d ago (Edited 290d ago )

Shadowfall was my first introduction into the series as the PS4 was my first Sony console. Maybe compared to the others it was not great (personally I don't know), but I had a blast playing it and found it quite enjoyable. I'd love a Trilogy Remaster though so I could go back and enjoy the original 3 for the first time (with a new coat of paint + updated controls)

Vits291d ago

There is a lot of the PS3 era that I would love to see ported/remastered. But, unfortunately, they are probably not commercially viable and I have no idea who owns the rights currently. Stuff like Sire: Blood Curse, White Knight Chronicles, Tokyo Jungle, Folklore, etc.

Infamous on the other hand was never a series that I found good or interesting. Especially when compared with other contemporaries like Prototype. But, given how bare the subgenre is right now, I would dig a remaster.

BehindTheRows290d ago

Sony owns Siren. I can’t speak for the rest.

As for inFAMOUS vs Prototype, I feel the opposite. inFAMOUS mopped the floor with it, quality and gameplay. Just felt far more polished. That said, I enjoyed Prototype’s powers a little more.

Vits290d ago

Fair enough, I agree that the production values of inFamous were higher. But I found it to be a snore-fest.

darthv72290d ago

...no meed. Sony could add ps3 support to the 5 and then people can play loads of games already available. No streaming required. Rpcs3 could be adapted to run on the 5... it would solve so many problems.

Vits290d ago

No need, because they instead could do these two other things that they have shown no interest in doing? Sure.

Shane Kim290d ago

But then they couldnt charge you for remaster (even though I would love one for infamous) or charge you for PSN premium.

darthv72290d ago

It would be even funnier if the series x gets rpcs3 support and can play the ps3 games while ps5 still cannot (not without streaming them)
