Destructoid: How Prototype is blatantly better than inFAMOUS

Destructoid writes: "Two games have recently been released that bear several striking similarities. Both of these games are open-world sandbox titles featuring superpowered antiheroes who begin to realize a host of awesome abilities with which to distribute justice and/or malice as they see fit. While they share a lot of features, the two games are certainly distinguishable, taking the superhero model in different directions.

However, that doesn't mean we're not going to compare and fight about them anyway, just because we can.

Contrasting the two games, it is very obvious that Prototype is better than inFAMOUS, and anybody who disagrees is a despicable moron who doesn't know anything about videogames and should probably just die. Read on to feel justified in agreeing with me, or to be shamed by just how incorrect and rubbish at life you truly are".

One is mindless slaughter, the other has a deep storyline with moral questions. One has controls with which to guide your character on a journey, one has buttons you mash.

If nothing else, watching which of the two titles an individual selects provides a sort of mental and reasoning ability litmus test.

lol.. Was that suppose to be funny. If not, then those are the most ridiculous points given.

I just bought Prototype the other day and after playing Infamous, the game just doesn't match up in terms of story and graphics. The powers and running on buildings is fun.. For the first 20 min, but then again gets repetitive. The game isn't bad by any means, but it just gets overshadowed by the immersive story and gameplay of Infamous... I just thought that climbing buildings was a lot more fun than just walking on boxes with windows drawn on it. Also, the story of INFAMOUS is far better than Prototype.

A good overall package of Graphics, gameplay and story= Infamous.
Mindless fun=Prototype.

Prototype would be better as a rent game and Infamous is a must buy... Sadly if you own a 360, then you don't have a choice.

1.15 - Prototype was okay

I finished the game in 2 day and gave up on it the next day

Love the brutality though...

Oh yeah, the last one was really stupid

"The last and most important point is that Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360, even though PS3 fans said it never ever would. This means they were wrong about it, and if they were wrong about FFXIII, who knows what else they could be wrong about? Maybe, for example, they could be wrong about inFAMOUS being better than Prototype,"

So because FFXIII came to the 360, it means inFAMOUS is not better than Prototype?

Well, that simply defies logic and FAILS

First of all, this was meant to be funny...not serious.

Second, there is nothing "immersive" about infamous's story or gameplay. and the graphics were not impressive. jesus...what game are you people playing?

prototype and infamous are both pretty much sh!t.

this article did make a great point about the electricity not being able to go through the fence while the enemies just shoot the hell outta you. and slowing crawling up the side of the building does get really boring after the 3rd time you do it. and all the characters do look and behave the same way.

@ultimate. It's supposed to defy logic. why can't you people take a joke? is it because some of the points he made were actually valid and it made you look at your 60 dollar game with new eyes for a second before you quickly reapplied your fanboy filter?

the point these guys always make in these types of articles is that it comes down to preference...you know...your opinion. and no matter how over the top and ridiculous they sound, they know they aren't going to sway anyone. they aren't supposed to. it's just a joke...simple.

EDIT: Darkeyes did. if you goto edit on your browser, then find, you can type 'immersive' and it will show you all the instances where it was typed. pretty awesome feature that has existed....for over a decade!

And dude, if you missed it in my title

I PLAYED [PROTOTYPE]

inFAMOUS is better I played it in my friends house and enjoyed it more than [Prototype] because it is more interesting, but that's a matter of opinion.

1.22 - Journalistic Credablility = Zer0

I've beaten inFAMOUS, and I'm playing through Prototype right now, but I've gotta say, from what I've played so far, inFAMOUS is definetly better in terms of plot, graphics, and overall gameplay.

I think its funny they way they just start out bashing inFAMOUS over the most insignificant things instead of coming up w/ tangible facts. You can tell the author never even gave inFAMOUS a chance.

Prototype is alright but there are a lot of cheap things about it. Personally, I think its cool how you have to jump up buildings, there are some levels late in the game in inFAMOUS where you get vertigo, trying to jump from one obstacle to the next hundreds of feet in the air. Its like a puzzle trying to figure out how to climb up something.

Prototype is just cheap the way you can run up a building. There really is no limit to how much you can use your powers either, which takes less strategy.

While I do think inFAMOUS' story and graphics far surpass [PROTOTYPE]'s, I do think that the gameplay, powers, framerate, total amount of chaos, explosions, etc. go straight to Prototype. The game is just damn entertaining, and it has one of the most solid framerates I've seen. There's hundreds of enemies and cars on screen at once and the game doesn't slow down once unless for the cinematic look. Oh and did I mention the fact that Prototype feels a lot more cinematic when running through the city. That's another big part of it for me.

This article was absolutely hilarious.

Cinematic does not equal realism. There's moments within prototype that are truly outstanding. When you are on top of a tank trying to rip yourself into it and you see (unscripted) cars exploding and flying through the air and people running around with a blurred camera effect while it is focused on you, is truly amazing. Not to mention they did an excellent job with smoke and fog in this game.

Stand on one of the buildings and look straight ahead and turn the camera to see the side of him and notice how the city is crumbling down the city blocks.

Or a tank shoots a jumbled mess of toppled cars in front of you and the smoke (again, the smoke is incredibly well done) covers everything in sight and suddenly you jump 60 feet into the air out of the smoke instantly with your giant blade, looking down at the tank, and come crashing on top of it, blowing up the entire thing in one hit.

Or turn the camera to the side or in front of you while running down the polluted, destroyed, body and car ridden streets of New York at 100mph, and seeing the amazing AI cause Alex to jump over and push away the obstacles in his way.

Or even walking down the streets of infected New York and seeing hundreds of unscripted AI running and killing in the streets and cars running into each other at 80mph while hitting people in their way and exploding.

One scene I experienced was when I was just standing there, and I punched a man and he slowly flew back through the air, and out of nowhere, a panicking citizen in a car drove by at 50mph and hit him straight out of the air, causing everyone around it to scream in terror and flee.

That is cinematic. And I've never seen a sandbox game do it so well.

Small bodies of water don't hurt Cole, like puddles and such.

I just agreed with myself to attribute it to the larger bodies of water "sapping" the electricity from Cole, injuring him quickly. /shrug

It was a small hurdle for my mind to get over in an otherwise great game.

I might try Prototype and I might not considering all the great games out I don't have time to try, but I am glad I got to experience Infamous.

infamous is cleaner, alot more polished and alot mores say...under control..stuff just makes sense. Prototype is over the top mayhem, still fun, but lacks any kind of structure, polish and it is clearly a graphical level or 3 below infamous...think of it as gta vs. saints row. In one you sat there, and you were engrossed in the storyline, gameplay and you were forced to pay attention to its detail and undeniable accuracy, where as the other one, well i still cant tell you what part of the story i am in saints row or prototype, I'm having fun and all, but i just don't care enough to pay attention.

One is fun, but the other is an overall better experience.

inFAMOUS and Prototype are pretty diffetrent games, imo. inFAMOUS is better crafted, offered me more replay value, had a better sand box, looked better and controlled more smoothly as well as having better animations.

However, P'type was great in it's own way too. If you want to be a guilt free killing machine(which is always good, yeah?)then this may be more up your street than SP's game. It's more of a bnblood rush as well and the "web of intrigue" is a classy touch whch brings it out of the, undeinable Hulk HD comaprisons a little.

Personally I'd give inFAMOUS a higher score than Prototype but as you can tell from the wide range of scores it got, the chances are that if you like P'type you're likely to really love it despite it having a few more rough edges than inFAMOUS.

Really is a horses for courses thing so while I'd say inFAMOUS is a definite purchase I'd rent Prototype or have a go of a mates to see which camp you're in- but, as I say, if you like the little bit you see on someone elses copy you are pretty certain it's gonna be one of your fave games this year.

Whichever I'd have bought if I only had the choice of one, and without the help of a demo, I srill think I'd have been happy with my game-but gladly I spoiled myself!

The demo is exactly how the game is just meh, still has the bad and i mean bad pop-in. Pretty much all the mission's i have played so far are just meh (about 75% complete). And all the side missions are pretty much a boring joke, besides a select few. Some of the best gameplay to be had by the game is trying to move from roof to roof in a smooth fashion. The game is worth a rent, but nothing more.

And too the bafoon below, you need to go back further and look at my PSN ID: Str8trashin.

More flops that outnumber Exclusive successes is somehow now considered to be a sign of superiority? Is this how you delusional MS butt-buddies are spinning the fanboy fud now?

LOL You F*cking Fail at being anything but an idiot!

11 - This typical satire...

won't get me to buy it. I had a 45.00 reward zone coupon and still didn't buy Prototype. Extremely happy with Infamous. Used the coupon on Resident Evil, which dropped to 49.99! 5.00 for resident evil 5 is definitely worth it! I'll wait til Prototype drops to 29.99 and maybe, just maybe...

this article was a EPIC FAIL. it was a complete fanboy article. It was correct at some parts but other parts were just dumb. like the developer being racist, the batman part, the name "inFamous" being a messed name, and the last part was just random.... this is about prototype and infamous not final fantasy like wtf man?

The article is a joke people, sheesh settle down. It's satire.

I do have to agree with him that cole is a wuss. It takes like 10 hits to kill someone and the melee is pretty worthless cause the enemies run backwards and are faster than you (how the hell is that?) and shoot the crap outta you. inFAMOUS is fun but extremely frustrating. Cole is just so completely underpowered compared to the enemies.

Me personally, i think it's a bit overrated.

"Square Enix's personal and hate-filled betrayal of everything PS3 fans hold dear is proof positive that Prototype is better than inFAMOUS"

1)Square Enix were never First party loyalist of Sony.

2)Both [Prototype] and inFAMOUS were not produced by Square Enix hence why his argument defies logic.

3)Quoting from this article is a real pleasure. Xbots sure know how to reason well. The blatant hate filled disregard of reasoning in this article perfectly encapsulates his incompetence.

Nice job on the Pictures! ^_^

I'ts quite sad seeing you guys fight over an article that was clearly a piss-take at all the fanboys out there with the whole PROTOTYPE Vs inFAMOUS battle...

The article was not bashing either game, it was clearly an article that was for fun and a way for the writer to give a good laugh to the internet.

The "Valid" points you guys highlight are all part of the writers joke in this, this article wasnt written as a piece of text to start world war III, this wasnt even an article about what game he thought was better, this was just an article that allowed the author to have a good laugh with the community of Destructoid.

Calling the guy a fanboy is a bit off too, most of you guys must not have seen the Killzone 2 Vs Halo 3 article in which he has done the same thing for the same reason, fun.

The only reason this guy wrote the article was because he obviously noticed the massive attack on both games from the fanboys of their chosen console. This article wasn't bashing PROTOTYPE or inFAMOUS, PS3 or Xbox but purely an article to prove how unbelievable fanboys are now-a-days. I remember 10 years ago it was nothing like this, you owned a console, you bought games for that console and you enjoyed it. Heck maybe if you were lucky enough you could have had more than one console to play on.

The status of a "Gamer" has changed dramatically over the past 10 years and as silly as this sounds i wouldnt be surprised if World War III was started because of Fanboys...

I joined this site hoping to find a bunch of people who wrote comments that were in no way fanboyish or flamebait but unfortunatly i have yet to find one that has shown this sense of reality.

I actually agree with you, but being nice is sometimes can be less fun. I actually quite enjoy reading some of the comments by my fellow gamers from both sides, it's an entertainment by itself, but at the end of the day, you make your own choice on what game is good for you and you alone. No one else can decide that for you :)

On other note: you don't find it enjoyable reading some of the comments ? i find it quite hilarious.. hahahaha

I know that there are always those articles that come across N4G that are completely outrageous, but this is just ridiculous. This guy is a moron.

"...and anybody who disagrees is a despicable moron who doesn't know anything about videogames and should probably just die"

This is the worst thing I have ever read on any gaming website, ever. I feel ashamed to even be called a gamer right now. This is what it all has become. This person should be embarrassed. I don't know if this article was supposed to be a joke, but this is just absurd.
