Yahtzee's Prototype vs. InFamous Challenge

Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw writes:

"In my recent Prototype Vs. InFamous video you may remember that I found myself unable to honestly call either game the best. Both were stronger in individual areas - Infamous wins on story and side missions while Prototype wins on combat and dick potential - but overall they balance each other out. I wasn't satisfied, though. There has to be a winner, if only to decide which name to read out first when giving out the joint prize. So at the end of that video I suggested an unbiased tie-breaker that could be kept unaffected by actual game quality. Namely, which of the two studios could produce the best image of the rival game's main character wearing women's lingerie.

Well, imagine my surprise when representatives from both Sucker Punch and Radical announced their intention to take this final showdown seriously. So, without further ado, let's set out on this visual odyssey, and never speak of it again."

Kudos to Radical and Sucker Punch for doing this. This is what gaming should be about. HAVING FUN!

Expecting "lens of truth" to come along any minute and do a pixel count on the pictures sent by both devs to determine the definitive winner. /s

My eyes are tearing up lmao, omfg. I was purely disgusted at the drag queen Cole became, but I just lost it when I saw Alex. I'm not going to lie, that was more gay than a gay pride parade going through Gay Town.

I can't believe you took him seriously, unless you're the master of textual sarcasm and tricked me o.O

2.3 - no, but...
can't really say it won because prototype is multi-console. However, you are onto something. I have been on the border between consoles since I got all three so...
Microsoft and Sony. PM me pictures in this fashion of Solid Snake and the guy from Gears Of War (even if I played it regularly, I probably wouldn't remember anyone's name) respectively. alternatively, MS can do Nathan Drake or Kratos. Winners will be announced when I feel like getting to it
Nintendo's ineligible due to obscene amounts of shovelware. However, they can PM me pictures of Samus in woman's underwear anytime they wish. It's only fair.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

Brilliant work by both developers (excusing the pathetic 2nd picture from Radical).

The fact that not only do they view Yahtzee's videos and hold him to some high regard to actually come up with that is so good.

Am glad that they both ended up doing it, would've been awkward if it was only one.

I honestly didn't think this would happen though, massive rep to both Sucker Punch and Radical Entertainment.

Yep, infamous is better, but prototype is still a good game, but everyones gonna ignore yahtzee's comment and say that yahtzee meant to say that prototype sucks. just ignore those people and buy both games. just because one game is better doesn't mean you shouldn't buy the other.

haha it's really good when you can see companies having a laugh. just goes to show how 'fanboyism' is usually just certain individuals on forums and not the games industry as a whole. and of course hats off to yahtzee as usual lol for anyone who hasn't already, you should really check out the zp reviews

Yahtzee is a f**king genius for even getting the developers to carry this out.

I love Sucker Punches 'Alex' pic. Nice one.

Its refreshing to be reminded Developers can mock anothers work without malice,and that fanboyism only really rages over the internet.
Props to Sucker Punch and Radical,Radical's first picture was f_cking hilarious.

15 - This is a breath of fresh air =D In a weird way...
+1 Respect to the devs for being so creative and good sports =) If only the industry was like this =(

If these ever took place with Valve or EA or Activision, there'd be a lawsuit over it in seconds.

Instead, two humurous dev's took the challenge =D Absolutely loving it xD I must admit Sucker Punche's is way whackier though, but Radicals freaked me out too xD

Hope to see more of these "face off's" in the future xD Yahtzee should make this a weekly special =P

I am quite surprised that they even considered doing this. It is nice to see companies out there that would be willing to have a friendly competition like this.
