Prototype 2 Will Soon Be At Your Tail, Sucker Punch

Competition breeds excellence, didn’t you know?

[Poseidon]

prototype = saints row. infamous = grand theft auto.

[Chicken Chaser]

Uh, Kattik21... It's clearly an article from the site...

I'll be looking to see what Prototype 2 will be like compared to inFamous 2. And from what we've seen from Sucker Punch, it'll be hard for Radical Entertainment to match it,especially when there own is multiplatform. Certain things the 360 just can't do.

Nice article, but Prototype 2 will be no contest for inFamous 2

[Joule]

Do you need help posting good articles, I know someone that can help. I think I PM'd you already for posting something shitty but hey you always get a second chance.

[Megaton]

I think he writes these. Most people from GamesThirst submit their own droppings, followed by immediately complimenting themselves on a great article.

[TheGamer]

prototype = meh (actually good attempt)

infamous = awesome!!!!

[Cloudberry]

.
From the article :

"I’m talking about Prototype 2; and although the title hasn’t been announced as of yet, there’s almost a guarantee it will."

...........................

That's it!?!?!?

I thought this was Prototype 2 announcement WTF!?

[Chicken Chaser]

It's an article. Read it, a good one at that.

[Cloudberry]

.
But I thought it's a Prototype 2 official announcement... /: (

[Chicken Chaser]

Oh. No, by the look of things, just an article. I thought prototype discussion is well passed due, so I subbed.

But like I said, it'll be no match for inFamous 2 imo...

Still, you never know.

[Bocanegra]

The first eight comments in here are absolutely retarded and annoying and are probably made by the same two people using multiple accounts.

[wenaldy]

prototype = emo. infamous = progressive rock

edit: did i late for party?

[kvg88]

prototype = Ninja Gaiden II. inFamous = Ninja Gaiden Sigma II.

[kingjoker34]

prototype= banjo kazooie. Infamous 2= Little Big Planet

[chrisnick]

YOU WIN MY DISAGREE...CONGRATS!!!

[chrisnick]

comment system just failed me.

[marinelife9]

Prototype = A rental that you take back early
Infamous = A $60 Blockbuster Video you own it late charge.

[palaeomerus]

Nope. Both are easy to beat rentals.

[BasilMarceaux]

cant we just say that prototype was a piece of crap?

[edhe]

You can, but it was fun none the less.

[edhe]

so prototype's more fun than infamous then?

GTA4 was an absolute dullard and a bore compared to saints row 2, and yes i completed them both - at least saints row 2's overpriced dlc was fun, and not an awful slog back through the most tedious game dynamics.

"woo i have a mission to do, woo i have to call the gun guy, woo i have to go meet him, woo i have to buy stuff with money that i'm not sure i remember how i earn, woo i have to drive to the mission, god sake stupid cops, OH FFS STUPID CARS - Argh here we go again.
WHAT?
Who the hell was shooting me from there? Couldn't the game maybe have told me my health was getting low? Great, at the hospital with less money, and i just wasted half an hour of my life..."

Rinse, Repeat.

[gtamike]

Prototype 2 "shakes head"

[Spenok]

Good analogy.

[Karooo]

kick them out of n4g and stop approving this stuff

[HolyOrangeCows]

It's just gamesthirst being gamesthirst. GT, HHG, and PX360 have no reason to be on N4G.

[Imperator]

Not this thing again. Remember, Ninja Blade vs. God of War III, Forza vs. GT5, inFAMOUS vs. Prototype, Alan Wake vs. Heavy Rain, etc, etc..

We all know who won in the end, so please 360 fans don't even start another comparison.

[edhe]

Won what?

[bjornbear]

is there actually any proof of prototype 2? haven't seen anything on the web o.O

yes imperator, gamers won ;P

[ABizzel1]

To be honest I hope Prototype 2 does come out. inFamous was better and they unfairly got compared to one another, I believe Activision wanted it to happen since they thought the carnage in Prototype would win gamers over.

Anywho Prototype is actually a pretty good game, early on it's mediocre, but as you progress and gain more powers the game is good. Enemy's are relentless though and will get on your neres, but the game is good. Everyone needs to give it a try the demo didn't do the game justice.

[MmaFanQc]

...they better show me something impressive because infamous simply curb stomped prototype mltiple times.

and i bet the same story will happen with infamous2 vs prototype2

[WildArmed]

Agreed. These guys are a pathetic excuse for a gaming info website.
They throw out nothing but recycled crap and with a huge flame-bait twist.

[Lou-Cipher]

It was OK to compare Infamous 1 to Prototype 1 because we didn't know what to expect other than they were both open world super hero games.

But now we know that Prototype is not even in the same league as Infamous, so lets not even try to tie in that piece of garbage with Infamous this time around.

[webeblazing]

i didnt know prototype was a super hero no wonder theres so much wrong information is on here

[Quagmire]

I say prototype 2 would have greater potential this time round. They had a brilliant idea, just executed poorly, where infamous was a poor idea (shooting lightning? pfft, my tazer gun could do a better job), but executed well.

[kunark]

dude infamous idea was great for me i loved the idea of having lighting powers wasn't just shooting thunder bolts they mixed the lighting powers up from grenades to bringing down a thunder storm you ever dreamed of being a super hero this game did it for me a normal guy get hit my a prototype thing aka the ray sphere and becomes a man induced with lighting powers for me was like being raiden from mk with better powers and climbing ability

[ZombieAutopsy]

Funny thing is Infamous almost sold as much as prototype did on both xbox and ps3, not that sales equal quality but still its pretty impressive.

[callahan09]

I hated Prototype. Just couldn't get into it. Didn't like that world, those powers, the controls, the camera, the mission structure, the story, or anything else about it...

[ABizzel1]

Not going against your opinion, but I had the exact same feeling, because I was playing both games at the same time. But I recently bought and played Prototype just because it was on sale for $10.

And now that I've played it later I really enjoyed it.

1) The World. I don't see what's there to complain about. It's large and there are tons of people in it. It's a decent replica of New York, but not spot on.

2) The powers aren't really powers, it's more like weapons, but the shapeshifting and everything was fine to me.

The controls I completely understand. It took to many buttons to do the simplist of things.

The camera was decent, Missions were good, the story was decent, and overall the game gets better as you progress through it.

I think you should give it another tyr, it's a pretty good game.

[ian72]

I agree Prototype is a good game. I got them both for PS3 when they came out last summer. inFamous I played first and completed Hero story. Prototype I have started and got half way through twice (PS3 broke and had to start again). Will finish it one day. I liked inFamous better, but Prototype is still good and worth playing.
I will be getting inFamous 2, and if they do make another Prototype I will probably get that also.

[Hyrius]

Ban Gamethirst.

[MariaHelFutura]

If you played Hulk:UD you already played Prototype.

[Quagmire]

according to your logic

If you played GT5: Prologue, you already payed Forza 3
If you played MW2, you already played Killzone 2
If you played GTA4, you already played Red Dead Redemption
If you played LBP, you already played everything else

[CoxMulder]

Yep, Prototype was basically Hulk:UD reskinned..

Just watch some gameplay videos of both games.

They should have just labelled Prototype as Hulk:UD HD Collection.

[Convas]

Yeah, I'm going to leave fanboyism to the fanboys. But Prototype was TRASH compared to inFamous. So unless Prototype "Too" blows away the competition (Which I don't think it can, I mean, come fricking on, Cole can make ELECTRICITY CYCLONES!?!?!?!!), it'll fail as well.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

inFAMOUS 2 technically & graphically would destroy Prototype 2. I mean after all SP are utilizing so many SPU's to handle so many things.

Prototype 2 being a multi-platform game would at best only utilize like 2 SPU's for for the PS3 version which would just be sad.

PS3 exclusives is where it's at.

[Hellsvacancy]

Prototype is by far the WORST game ive played this gen, i rented it and didnt even finish it, most games i rent i finish but Prototype was too awful, i didnt wanna waste another second of my life playin that rubbish

Each 2 there own of course, i respect other people opinions but if u disagee with me id LOVE 2 meet up with u in real life so i can http://media.giantbomb.com/...

So yeah, i wont even b lookin at ANY Prototype 2, this will b the last youll hear from me on the subject!!!

Edit: GameThirst should b banned or shot dead, they write NOTHIN but crap

[adamant715]

inFamous and Prototype are BOTH GOOD GAMES, I don't understand why you PS3 fanboys have to jump on the hate bandwagon just cause you feel -insert game title- is better than -insert game title-.

It's just pathetic. You're obviously too stupid to realize that Prototype was ACTUALLY a decent game, and was as good, if not better than inFamous. But you're a PS3 fanboy, so it's not really surprising at all.

ANYWAY.

I cannot wait for inFamous 2 and Prototype 2. Both games were great. :D

[HelghastKid]

Not really trying to take a side here, but these type of comparisons are usually started by Xbox fanboys and when it is proven they are wrong, the ps3 fanboys go on the offensive and usually rub it in till kingdom come. Ive never played Prototype because i thought it looked like sh!t so i cant really talk about it, but infamous is one of my favorite games this gen. I expect Infamous 2 to be incredible

[Myth]

I love some games on the 360 - Gears, Mass Effect, L4D etc.

But its MY opinion that Prototype was a below average game. Graphics were horrible and the game play was generic.

Infamous was way way better than Prototype. I'll be passing on Prototype 2 unless they start from scratch.

[joel_c17]

No dude prototype is top of the list for worst games this gen

[CoxMulder]

Not liking a Multi-plat or preferring a PS3 exclusive to a multi-plat is instant PS3-fanboy status??

Good thing you 360 fanboys are hugely outnumbered, this site would be nothing but pure comedy if it weren't.

Prototype sucked, deal with it.

[olegb139]

Go away troll

[Focker-420]

InFamous 2 can show em how its done....

...again

[UP]

oh Its Infamous Vs. Prototype part 2.

[inception123]

part 2 will end the same as part 1 with infamous 2 selling more then both ps3 and 360 version of prototype 2 combined and reviewing better.

[mrv321]

infamous>Prototype
infamous 2>infamous>Prototype 2>Prototype

[frjoethesecond]

By the looks of the new cole it will be...

infamous>infamous 2>Prototype 2>Prototype

As far as infamous 2 vs prototype 2 it could go either way. We don't have many details yet.

Just on a side note: Crackdown>>>>Crack down 2

[Kingdom Come]

Your judging a game, on the characters main appearence?

[N4BmpS]

Yeah I was gonna ask the same thing along with, "You still have a problem with New Cole? Seriously?"

[Sevir04]

its just silly. infamous 2 is the be all in superhero sandbox

[Colonel-Killzone]

Prototype has nothing on infamous....... they tried to have it appeal to people with the massive blood etc. Infamous had a good story some stuff annoyed me about the Gameplay but overall infamous was a shocker to everyone on how good it was when it came out. You would be foolish to think otherwise.

[jerethdagryphon]

platiniumed them both, i liked certin things about proto type and disliked certain things about infamous overall infamous is the better game

i did however like the story design fro prototype the web of intrigue was very clever mostly though bland enviroments and excessive gore put me off

in infamous the repetitive nature of the game annoied me

[xX-PEIN-Xx]

when I saw that headline I lol'd. inFamous was vastly superior to Prototype. After seeing previews for inFamous 2 I'm highly confident that Sucker Punch has nothing to worry about from the competition.

[Falloutxii]

I made the mistake of buying prototype over infamous. I only had prototype for a month before i traded it in for credit.

[edhe]

So wait - you got to play two games instead of one?

Isn't that a positive thing? Why would you regret playing the less game first and trading up to a better one later?

[SSKILLZ]

imFamous > Prototype !!!!

[Kakihara]

I was firmly on the side of Prototype during the pre release Prototype vs Infamous wars. You could say this was because I didn't own a PS3 at that time but I was already openly envious of many PS3 games, I just honestly didn't think Infamous looked as interesting.

I just couldn't see how a game about some guy who can shoot electricity could compare to a game about a guy who can run up the side of buildings. Morph his hands into all kinds of weapons, shape shift into different people and hijack vehicles. Then I played both games, man ... I still feel like an idiot for thinking Prototype was gonna be better.

[the-show-stopper]

its ok these things happen
the most important thing is to learn from your mistakes

[queerbearandchicken]

lol lol lol

I doubt SP are worried about that game, infamous scored better reviews.

[Kingdom Come]

inFamous was the better game, but, Prototype sold more. You can take your pick of what makes a succesful game, mine would be quality of the title, some say sales...
Edit: I myself am saying that inFamous was the most successful due to the quality of the game, however I know some people who would judge a games success on sales. Jesus, why is it that on this site ANYTHING that can even be percieved as negative towards the PS3 get disagreed to hell? Besides I've just said that inFamous was the better game...

[queerbearandchicken]

So 50 Cent's bulletproof is better than Psychonauts because of sales? PFFT

[nycredude]

Where did you get your info. Cause last I checked the sales of Infamous was almost equal to Prototype on both systems.

[AliTheBrit19]

Cool beans, the first one was fairly average though, although very fun jumping around absorbing people xD

[Kingdom Come]

Whilst I would love to see a Prototype 2, it needs to step up its characters, make them more meaningful, I didnt even take notice in the story, I just loved the animations during free running and blowing S**t up. Infamous 2 look fantastic, I honestly think for Prototype 2 to compete with it, it would need to be exclusive for one console (either would do) I think the first being a multiplayer title didnt help it technologically.
It would seem, round two has just begun...

[SephireX]

That was said last time and looked what happened? Yeah Prototype sucked in comparison to inFamous.

[Roper316]

Infamous will just kick Prototypes ass again

[maniacmayhem]

I hope they have a Prototype 2. Loved the first one. I hope for the second one they make it more comic book like and have him go against other people with super powers. More boss battles would be a blast and more stealth missions where you have to disguise as multiple people to get to your goal.

I remember playing the game and seeing a DC billboard....would be great if they had actual DC characters in it.

[rae718]

Activision published protype right so I do think the 2 game is coming out but infamous has set the bar pretty high so It's one of those that will have to wait and see and personally infamous 2 looks amazing but I not feeling some of the changes

[MysticStrummer]

*Sucker Punch looks back and sees Prototype 2 behind them* Meh...

[djfullshred]

By the time I got towards the end of Prototype, I found myself more annoyed than entertained by that sloppy game. I say meh to the sequel for a very "meh" kind of game.

[Cajun Chicken]

Yes! Lets be having it. I for one loved both Prototype and Infamous.

[N4BmpS]

Prototype is okay and all but it's nothing that will or should ignite a flamewar within a famewar (i.e. inFAMOUS vs Prototype). But it seems to be happening anyway, in my opinion Sucker punch has nothing to worry about and Radical shouldn't try to be inFAMOUS (which it isn't)

[RIPSKATEDESTROY]

prototype baby all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

[webeblazing]

prototype was trash played it for a hour and couldnt play no more they shouldnt even try to make a second one and just make different game

[ArchangelMike]

myself included. I initially passed on infamous as I found it too repetitive. However when I played it again as Evil Cole to get the platinum (one damned blast shard stands between me and that coveted platinum trophy), I loved it. I never played prototype so I can't really comment, BUT I agree that competition breeds excellence so bring it on.

p.s. I think the fact the Infamous 2 is competing with uncharted 2 is great, if Sucker Punch can pull it off, Infamous 2 will exceed prototype 2 for one single reason.

PS3 exclusive games always > than multiplatform games.
Genre for Genre there is not one multiplatfirm game that can hold a candle to a PS3 exclusive. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong!

*puts on fire retardent jacket... flame on N4G!

[divideby0]

amazing how an author admits the game is not been announced yet, but still wastes the time writing about it being better than another game which is not even released yet
author is so desperate to write something about a product not even announced

[palaeomerus]

Yeah, that's not news. It's more like fortune telling. Or hallucinating.

[Guitardr85]

I just hope the improve the graphics...the first prototype was god aweful!!!

[TwistedMetal]

stomped prototype 1.

[Killman]

If Prototype 2 controls or looks anything like the first game, then you can expect me to stay FAR AWAY. The first game had such terrible controls.....

[tiamat5]

If it is as mindless and vapid as the first one don't bother or Infamous will knock you down again and you won't be able to get back up.

[palaeomerus]

inFamous was pretty vapid too. Power sewers? Really?

[palaeomerus]

Why is there an article telling me to get excited for an UNANNOUNCED GAME THAT MIGHT NOT EVEN EXIST?

Seriously, this is BEYOND DUMB.

[GuruStarr78]

more so than I've ever seen on an article........both games were good....leave it at that.

[ironcreed]

That game stunk to high heaven and I could not even finish it. It was the worst kind of repetitive and the gameplay just flat-out sucked. Hell, I recently picked up Vampire Rain for $1.00 just for the laughs and I am even having more fun with it than I did Prototype.

As for Prototype being compared to inFamous? Ha, don't make me laugh. That is like comparing living in a dumpster to living at Hugh Hefner's house. In other words, the separation in quality is quite distinct.

[olegb139]

Too many people are so narrow minded. Prototype has things Infamous could not even touch (fun factor) and Infamous had things Prototype could not touch (polish).

Nobody is holding a gun to your head and saying PICK ONE.

[ironcreed]

I just happened to enjoy one and hated the other. Simple as that, really.

[jalen247]

Its hard to compete with Sony first party exclusives...

I don't need to play Infamous 2 or Prototype 2 to know Infamous 2 will be better.

[JonnyBigBoss]

inFamous >>>> Prototype.

I own both. Check my trophies.

[PirateThom]

I would like to play Prototype, but it's published by Activision and I don't believe I should just illegally download it either.

Ah well.

[hassi94]

While I agree with others that inFAMOUS is the better game, all this prototype = ? infamous = ? is just retarded. Give it up and stop being such terrible trolls, none of you can even think enough to figure out your own way to troll, you're just copying someone else.

Bubbled down every single one of you.

[STRAIGHTASL]

inFamous 2 and 1 made me excited!

[Neko_Mega]

Prototype could have been a better games if done right, it was ok but kind lame, now what should be done is make it only for 360 and use all of the 360's power.

Then they can talk smack about infamous 2, until then. It is just another game that is going to be over hype and then end up in GameStops cheap ben.
