Activision subsidiary Radical Entertainment revealed that Prototype 2 is in development this weekend, and the studio has now promised to deliver "an even bigger and better experience" than the original.
Shape-shifting open-world action game Prototype launched in 2009, and Radical studio head Ken Rosman believes its sales justified a sequel.
"When Prototype surpassed two million units we knew gamers would want a sequel to find out what happens next with Alex Mercer.
In an industry that grows increasingly reliant on remasters, few were worth complaining about, making the original versions preferable in most respects.
Not sure what happened with FFCC. They really bungled it big time. It's a shame too.
To this day, the Crystal Chronicles remaster still left me with a sour taste. I really wondered how Square reacted to the feedback.
I thought the Prototype games had terrible graphics even when they first came out. Pretty crazy that the remasters essentially got nothing in the way of visual upgrades. A resolution bump. Yay.
To me, this topic is pretty easy to answer as I recall laughing at loud when Bethesda announced that PPL on consoles (Xbox1 and Ps4) would need to buy Skyrim Special edition and it would be free for existing pc Owner because it was basically the same game at max setting.
I often gave this answers to numerous ppl who where happy about paying 40$ for cheap remaster that would have been free on PC by saying everybody wins PC players gets the upgrade for free because they never paid in the past for quick fix that a mod of graphics card could do and Consoles players get to pay because they love paying and defend the practice of paying (like the numerous I have a VHS tape of the movie why don't they give me a free DVD version).
So for me, any crappy Remasters that deserve to be on this list are the ones that only give a frame boost and resolution boost for a full-price experience from the previous generation. Now ill exclude compilations like Batman, Uncharted Trilogy, Bioshock Trilogy, etc. because they were actually giving you more than 1 game so I'll count them as a collection instead of remasters Nor should I included games that have complete remade graphics or add new playable elements (Metro 2033 Redux, Quake, Gears of War Ultimate)
Since there are too many games ill give some example that comes to mind: Heavy Rain Remaster, The Last of US remaster, God of War 3 remasters, Burnout Paradise city Remaster, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. Baja: Edge of Control HD, etc.
Again my main complaint here (has it was last gen) is that these kinds of remastering are now free (called performance patches now) but were sold at a premium price despite having almost no work to put in.
Andrea Gennaro has released a HD Texture Pack for Prototype 2 that improves the textures of all the three zones (Red, Green and Yellow) of the game.
I can’t get it to work, I got the two HD packs and when I tried to run that Tex.exe nothing happens.
It's not rare for the hero to become the villain in video games. Luke Lube looks at five of the best good guys gone bad from Big Boss to Jill Valentine.
Well that's all good and stuff, but let's hope the reviews it got justify a better sequel. You have the opportunity to make it greater than the first, so DO SO.
But then again, who am I kidding, this is Activision we're talking about.
hmm, anyone want to compare this with infamous 2 here
The usual stupid Infamous comment, can't a mod filter anyone from trying to post a comment with the word 'Infamous'. Seriously tired of it, can we just talk about Prototype here. I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Please Activision don't make us play as someone else, it has to be Mr. Mercer.
I would have HIGH HIGH hopes for this game, HOWEVER Activision is involved so you might as well WAIT for the game to hit because if it's anything like some of their "other games" lord help us.
The first prototype wasnt that good imo
Most people like myself bought it because of all the hype & because of the fact that you could be a total badass who can run up walls & glide all over the place.
Maybe this sequel will be 100% better.. but I'm not holding my breath. I'll most surely check it out though.. for sure.
