Prototype's target audience are a**holes

Not just any assholes, but "assholes of the highest order". Prototype's lead designer, Eric Holmes, thinks that the type of person interested in a game like Prototype is the same type of person that, well... isn't very nice.

That's so true. My girlfriend is kind of a b!tch (and she'll admit that so don't get on my case for saying it) and she loves sandbox games. She always does the worst possible things she can think of.

Milk is for Babies5496d ago

Who cares if she's mean as long as she keeps you satisfied. Vault Boy could be a real prick too for all we know.

Vault Boy5496d ago

Gee, thanks. For the record I think I'm a pretty nice guy, unlike you.

Twizlex5496d ago (Edited 5496d ago )

I think the biggest difference is the level of violence, like, you actually tear people apart and spill guts all over the place. Otherwise, yes, it is very much like Hulk, just more "mature". Even so, why does it matter? Don't you ever buy sequels?

The Phantom Agree5496d ago

These have got to be the best comments i've ever read on N4G =D

Bubbles and Agrees for all of ya!!!

On topic
Well the question is Prototype or inFamous
Both look great, and they don't rip hulk off... they just.. borrow...ALOT :P

JokesOnYou5496d ago

"Of course, it could be easily argued that people are assholes in sandbox games because sandbox games are generally designed to let you be an asshole"

-Everybody likes open world games, because everybody likes to explore what can be done in a ficticious world, even a**holes. lmfao

fredy5496d ago

i sometimes say the same about plenty games, ever play force unleashed, def reminds me of infamous. there are others that fall in the same boat.

CaseyRyback_CPO5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

Its like you want to avoid the obvious. The meeting went "hey, we have this game engine, what should we do with it?" "i dunno, make the hulk2?" "quiet johnson! thats too obvious.."
Its a blow em up for children who have nothing else to do in gaming this generation, with bad graphics.

Force unleashed was a great game, and as as much to do with infamous as bioshock has to do with killzone2.

Stop blindly defending everything, especially factual truth. Prototype advertises by saying "pwn everything!" literally.. Much like the hulk smash em up, you just blow stuff up until you get bored. and seeing as how this unremarkable developer hasn't done anything well... remarkable, prototype looks to be the same nonsense that the media latches on when they think of over the top meaningless violence, then wraps up all games under the same umbrella. You know, the same people that think manhunt is just like Shadow of the colossus. Its garbage gaming for kids. If you're 13 great, have at it. but dont pretend that this game isn't an exact carbon copy of the hulk, minus the OMG make your model turn into another low polygon model.

gigantic yawn. The only reason anyone is talking about prototype is because:

YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO PLAY.

Prototype would be in the recycle bin if there was a Gears3/Halo4/Masseffect2/forza 3/pgr5/splinter cell/alan wake/huxley/warhounds/ anything else in the current events, and you know it. But for some people, its all there is to do until E3.

macalatus5495d ago

@casey,

Damn, dude...you really made me laugh with that one! Just chill down a bit before you kill someone from over laughing! lol

Andor_Trask5495d ago

you sure do b1tch a lot about things that aren't even out yet. Calm down dude, I'm sure it will be a blast to play.

IaMs125495d ago

I think there is something wrong with that logic, Force Unleashed was released awhile ago before infamous, therefore wouldnt Infamous be taking from Force Unleashed?

BLuKhaos5495d ago

That's why it's called "Prototype", because it's the prototype for the next hulk game.:)

CommonSense5495d ago

good news for ps3 fanboys. that seems to be all they are.

Cookigaki likes open world games and Cookigaki is very nice person. Cookigaki loves everyone, especially hot women.

Twizlex5496d ago

Yeah, but if guy movies have taught us anything it's that chicks like assholes.

L80BelfDK5496d ago

I don't like when chicks like literal assholes. Cosmopolitan is an evil magazine for suggesting it.

L80BelfDK5496d ago

Cosmo magazine suggests that girls surprise their boyfriends by a quick poke in the butthole. They say dudes are too afraid to ask for it but they all love it, which is totally wrong! Do not slip a finger in my butthole!

Twizlex5496d ago

.......
You're joking, right? I hope you're joking. That's terrible advice. At the very least they should ask first.

h0tz0rz5496d ago

No, he's not joking. Cosmo has actually suggested that several times over the years. I remember saying something to my boyfriend at the time and he told me to cancel my subscription! So yeah, I'm guessing it's not good advice and I'm glad I didn't just try it like they said.

Milk is for Babies5496d ago

Yeah, I'm gonna weigh in on this one also and say "Ladies, don't touch my asshole."

LONEWOLF2315496d ago

AHAHAHA........thats the funniest thing ive read today BUBBLES TO all of you!

Cookigaki5496d ago (Edited 5496d ago )

Ewwww..... Cookigaki only accepts girls putting fingers in butts if the butt is on another girl... and the butt is really a vagina... and the finger is really Cookigaki's penis... and both girls are hot.

kingme715496d ago

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this thread has gotten a little off topic.

Panipal20055496d ago

You people act like you've never heard of the prostate

Twizlex5496d ago

I'm well aware of the prostate. So are you saying a dude should let another dude give him a blowjob? Just because it physically feels good doesn't mean you want to do it. Fingers in the butt is simply outside of my comfort zone, and I REALLY don't think girls should go around poking buttholes without asking.

creeping judas5496d ago

Rimshot FTW!!!!

You guys need to relax a bit.

popup5496d ago

I went out with a girl once who's holes were both upside down and
round the wrong way and I never suspected a thing.

kingme715496d ago

The problem with saying games reflect your personality is giving games alot more credit for morality than they deserve. You choose to be evil because of some personal character flaw or whatever is totally a bunch of baloney. Gamers make gaming decisions because they want to see how the game changes or rewards them with that decision. You push over the bus full of kids because you are playing the baddie and want to increase whatever bad meter you have or you just want to see the game blow the thing up.

Cookigaki5496d ago

Yes, Cookigaki agrees with this. Cookigaki does bad things in games just for fun and curiosity, not because Cookigaki really wants to hurt people.

MiloGarret5495d ago

Cookigaki is clearly nuts, sorry to say it mate, you crack me up anyways so keep it up, but... seek help man, haha.

On topic: I'm a bit of an asshole, but I'm not interested in this game at all... So they're missing the target audience, at least in my case.

DaTruth5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

Whatever happened to Pizzagaki? Did he lose all his bubbles for being a rabid fanboy?

I lost a bubble the other day. YOU CAN'T HANDLE DATRUTH!!!!

Cookigaki5495d ago

Pizzagaki is a cheap imitator and needs to die. Pizzagaki appeared on n4g a few weeks after Cookigaki and wished to be as awesome and have as huge a boner, but he is not and does not. Cookigaki hates that people think Pizzagaki is related or alt account! Please spread word that Cookigaki has no relation to Pizzagaki!

Here's a story, Target Audience thinks Prototype developer is an asshole.

Twizlex5496d ago

Well, he got the game some more attention at least. No press is bad press, as they say.

Nelson M5496d ago

And on the T Shirt
It says
"I Bought Prototype for my Xbox "
"And i'm an AssHole "

Eiffel5496d ago

That joke sucked. Try to be funny next time.

You know..you spamming your usual BS around N4G is pretty damn funny especially when you think you made any sense at all. Oh so funny!

mandf5496d ago

It should sell very well on 360.

are the gamers that bought gears and play kllzone?

Ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

As the great Kojima once said, your anal is measured by the size of your fist.

mandf5495d ago

MicroSONY4life how very childish to use namecalling. Xbox live is full of hate FACT. Deny it. I ask all that play xbox live to think about about their experience the good and bad. The number 1 complaint I have for live is jerks to say it nicely. A lot of people ruin it for everyone. What happened when we used to have fun? I beleive I rather no one have a headset. I know mute. whatever. hate as usual!

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.

Profchaos2d 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

Tacoboto2d 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?

banger882d ago

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

ChasterMies2d 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.

MadLad825d 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.

Crows90825d 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.

LWOGaming824d 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.

TallDarknWavy825d 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.

gamer7804825d ago

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

Gamer75825d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer7804825d 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_Noctis825d 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).

porkChop825d ago

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

MadLad825d 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.

jaymacx825d 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.

wolf581824d ago (Edited 824d 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.
