Head 2 Head - inFamous Vs. Prototype (Cole Vs. Alex)

Syronicus - 173 days 10 hours ago

Have to argue that Cole might be able to hold his own against Alex and in fact might be able to kick his arse into next week. I dunno, it just seems like I could stand and root for guy like Cole rather than Alex. Alex is such a douche if you ask me.

...Alex would have to get pretty close to Cole not right next to him but close enough to use his whip arm. Cole could keep blasting Alex to keep him at a distance but Alex has a shield that he could use. Although Alex would have to contend with Coles force push which could repel Alex or anything he'd throw at Cole.

Alex couldn't use guns on Cole they would be a waste of time and give Cole unlimited power.

I think if Alex can get close enough to Cole he could mess him up. But Cole also has his gigawatt blades and could do some damage to Alex as well. Alex has a close quarters advantage while Cole has the advantage at a distance in my opinion.

I think it could come down whether or not Cole could contain Alex long enough to light him up literally and drain his life or if Alex could brutalize Cole quick enough keeping close quarters while keeping a minimum distance between them.

Cole doesn't have as many powers but they would allow him to hold his own against Alex given the right conditions.

Wow, you totally went 6th grade who would win in a fight between Spiderman and Wolverine with that comment. Bubbles for putting in the effort.

And btw, Cole would win hands down. If you've played through Infamous you've seen what kind of powers Cole is going to have.

Up close and personal - maybe Alex wins... unless they were standing in a puddle (insta-death to anyone standing in a puddle with Cole)

Distance - Cole wins hands down. And I'm not even talkin' evil Cole...

I'm saying Good version Cole with Shock Grenades with built-in Arc restraints.

And with "the fire 5 Megaton Hammers and redirect with lightning" move, Cole can be down the street and around the corner - expose himself for a quick second and duck back into hiding, dealing massive deadly damage to Alex before he knew what hit him.

EDIT:

OH, and Spider-man wins with super speed AND strength. And with his spidey-sense, Wolvie would have a hard time even touching him.

Wolvie's acute senses would help though, and he may only need one hit with claws if they were fighting to the death.

And Healing Factor would NOT be an issue. It doesn't work like that... not when I was reading Xmen anyways.

And Hulk >>>>>> Superman, Thor, or Silver Surfer ;P

Nerding out is fun!! :D

Ummm...isn't Alex alot stronger and faster then cole? And if I'm not mistaken isn't he able to change his biomass into a giants piece of armour, a heavy shield, blades, metal clubs, and an extendo arm?

Seems to me that Cole does not stand a chance, and I haven't even talked about those much publicized super moves that Alex can do.

How much better is Infamous than Prototype? Cause i was thinking about renting it but if it is way worse than Infamous then i will have to skip it.

Just a thought, but surely if anything metal touched Cole it would mean insta death for whoever was holding the metal, or in Alex' case, whoever is the metal? So therefore Cole would win on account that Alex can't touch him without being fried.

just hijacks a helicopter, targets Cole shoot 3 or 4 missiles fights done. Oh just for arguments sake how would Cole target Alex? It is hard to hit a moving target with those blasts. And Cole just dies to damn easy.

Shockwave blasts can easily repel larger projectiles (like missiles), and smaller projectiles are simply absorbed by Cole's Shield.

And Cole doesn't need to actually hit Alex. Just like a missile doesn't need to be a direct hit to be effective normally.

The Good version of Cole has a weird added dimension to his upgraded powers call Reverse Magnetism.

Upgraded Shock Grenades and Shockwave blasts have RM which causes anyone caught in the blast radius to actually float helplessly high in mid-air for a few moments. If that happens, Alex is done. They have Trophies for the different ways you can kill a floater :)

Also Megaton Hammers (which are basically electric missiles) and Lightning Storm have large powerful blast areas - and Cole can be safely around the corner, out of sight or behind protection to pull them off.

Now Evil Cole is all-out carnage with powers like splitting grenades for a larger blast radius and the like

If Alex can close in on Cole, then I'll give him the nod. But that's a huge if...

Cole has close combat powers, but he's designed for long-range mayhem and keep-away tactics that help him take apart close-combat brutes in inFamous with ease

Fun conversation! Bubbles to all above :D

I think it's just Cole concentrating, but in the game Percision effectively slows down time for Cole leaving enemies at his mercy as they suddenly move in slow motion wide open for attack.

Besides, Cole takes out teleporters - I don't think super speed is going to bother him

he'd be electrocuted the moment he laid a finger on Cole's body. his electricity is always turned on.

before Alex could get close, Cole would have either sniped him, pelted him with electric shock bolts, bombard him with shock grenades (which can arc restrain him to the ground) or megawatt hammers (which he can redirect with pinpoint accuracy), or call down a lightning strike from the sky to decimate him. and that's just GOOD Cole. Evil Cole would simply fry him with his "Sith Lighting" then drain his bio-electric energy when he's down.

Alex would have to sneak up on Cole and take him completely by surprise in order to take him out.

if Cole is aware that Alex is coming, he'll have him down and out before he even gets within touching distance. using his force push, he can always keep Alex at bay and off guard. hell, good Cole could force push Alex, forcing him to float up in the air, then headshot him with his precision shot ability (i've done that technique on many a bad guy. it's very satisfying).

Alex is all flash, but no technique or substance. Cole commands electricity, and is effective at long range combat, and mid-range combat.

it really isn't much of a contest. Alex just isn't a compelling enough character to even WARRANT a comparison to anyone.

besides, Kratos would destroy them BOTH. lol.

We really don't know how Alex would react to electricity. No doubt he can withstand any physical object but getting jolted with a lightning bolt especially in suspended sentence fashion is something else.

DARK WITNESS - 173 days 4 hours ago

exactly,

everyone is just assuming that Alex would get hit by electricty and die.. you can tell from most of the comments that most people have not actually played and finished prototype.

All i will say is this, if Alex could regenerate himself after a Nuke blast, what makes you think he could not survive a few bolts from cole ?

second, alex has no problem using normal weapons, he has a lot more opptions, when you think about how fast alex moves combined with him using a hand weapon... again he could take out cole.

Transporter47 - 173 days 3 hours ago

about him surviving the nuke...well no he only regenerated because Alex ate the crow watch the ending. i doubt there are going to be crows right there once he get fried by Coles Lightning.

lets say he falls in the ocean then that's a problem. Or something like a pool. Also i just realize once he goes into sniper mode he can c any fast moving object as slow so just head shot Alex with that and bam done
