Prototype 2 Shows a Lot of Promise

Scott Lipowitz of DualShockers.com writes: The original Prototype was a game that I feel very conflicted about. On one hand, the story was lacking, the combat could grow surprisingly dull, the main character was unlikable and the gameplay was very inconsistent. On the other hand, it still managed to be a lot of fun. It was a game that really never carried the emotional attachment that it felt like it could have. The city, though populated, still felt lifeless. It was a very up and down experience, but I just felt like for every moment of fun, there was one of blandness to offset that. Thankfully, the developers of the series, Radical Entertainment, seem to have noticed these things as well. Prototype 2 is still early, not slated for release until April 24th of next year. That said, what I played at New York Comic Con this year really brightened my outlook on the game, and even more of my fears were assuaged after speaking with Radical’s Studio Vice President, Dave Fracchia.

Can't wait for this. The first one was a great game for relieving stress lol.

JohnColaw4597d ago

My EXACT sentiments. I was in a pretty shitty and stressful time of my life when that game came out and it was nice to just boot it up and go kill a few hundred soldiers.

That said, having the same + a more in depth story would be sweet.

I like the first game. It just needed work and the graphics and the gameplay felt like Hulk Ultimate Destruction in disguise. Still lked it though and it deserves a sequel.

It was a good game, it could be frustrating sometimes but it had a lot going for it and I enjoyed it. It begged for a sequel so hopefully they've made a lot of improvements. Maybe they can flesh the story out more this time around.

Looking forward to it anyway.

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead12d ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
