IGN: Prototype Preview

IGN has heard Prototype described many ways. It's Resident Evil meets Grand Theft Auto. It's just like Infamous. It's a slicker looking The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, an unsurprising claim given the fact that developer Radical Entertainment is responsible for both. None of these descriptions are off the mark, but Prototype brought back memories of another game for them: Crackdown.

sounds flashy but with little substance. that's just what I get from reading the preview anyway.

Just like i predicted months ago...o well back to Infamous than, this one is rent at best

"Or you can just mess with civilians. I found this to be perhaps just a tad too much fun."

"You see, Alex Mercer is a bit of an anti-hero. Though he's fighting a horde of infected monsters that are ravaging the Big Apple, the civilians are fair game too. With a tap of a face button, he can grab any bystander by the neck and take them for the ride of their soon to be ended life. I made sure he was carrying a person at all times. There's something about the way they flail about wildly as Alex runs up the sides of buildings that is just plain entertaining. Periodically I'd get bored with the person being carried and chuck them at a wall or off of a rooftop, but another would soon be grabbed to start the cycle anew."

"Prototype is an open-world game that doesn't take itself quite as seriously as the likes of GTA IV (the fact that you can run up the side of a building while carrying a car should be enough proof of that). That's not to say it's goofy and tongue-in-cheek like Saints Row 2. Simply put, it's an action game for those that love action."

Wow, well I love an absolutely over-the-top action game so Prototype sounds like this is the kind of game that has my name written all over it.

table5470d ago

I could pick a choose parts to fit my statement just the same way as you did. I do agree that it does sound fun though. Previews are always more positive than the reviews remember.

4Sh0w5470d ago

Everything the guy said seemed to suggest its "potentially" going to be a great game, but yes anybody could "interpret" or take a line or two out of context to suggest something so broad and subjective as a lack of substance. Seriously I could do that with any preview or any review myself but the overall tone of the review doesn't seem to suggest that this is the case at all.

Ldubbz5470d ago

jBat175470d ago

maybe they should nake the graphics better - it looks last-gen compared to inFamous.. but maybe it has AAA gameplay.. good thing it's multiplat

Tiberium5470d ago

Looks great. And as far as people comparing this to imfamous, this is a mature game. Not a teeny comic-book cutscene style antihero game.

CoxMulder5470d ago

lol

This "Me Hulk, me look like popular jock now" game is certainly way more mature than inFamous.. LMAO

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.

Profchaos18d 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

Tacoboto18d 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?

banger8818d ago

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

ChasterMies17d 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.

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.

Crows90841d 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.

LWOGaming840d 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.

TallDarknWavy841d 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.

gamer7804841d ago

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

Gamer75841d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer7804841d 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_Noctis841d 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).

porkChop841d ago

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

MadLad840d 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.

jaymacx840d 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.

wolf581840d ago (Edited 840d 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.

Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
