Here is the first 30 minutes of Prototype 2. You get to see the back story of the main character and what role Mercer plays in this game.
Prototype 2 launches Tuesday April 24, 2012 on PS3 and XBOX 360. The PC version of the game will be releasing this Summer.
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.
I really wanted to play that one too, but after the demo I was disinterested in buying it.
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.
Let alone Activision kept those prices at release price for a year before they even thought to reduce them in a sale.
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.
doesn't look that good, i might pick it up when the price drop though
The first Prototype is honestly one of the worst games I've ever played. Prototype 2 doesn't look much better.
Protoype one was pretty fun, definatly worth a shot especially since its cheap now. This looks more polished which is good, but I think ill wait till its down to 50$ over here like I did with the first one
The start of the game looks great graphically then it was just as I thought the threw up what the last game looked like.What a shame.I hated the first one and this one looks just as bad if not worst since they had all this time to make improvements.Silly bastards.
Other than the first 20 min and the final boss fight I loved the first game. Of course I didnt feel the need to do all the races so I guess that could be frustrating for people that did. I had played this game right after playing Dark Sector and thought this is what dark sector should have been. I also played it around the time I played the first batman. And although batman was technically superior (graphics, sound, Va, setting, story) I thought prototype was more pure fun (being a superpowered being in an open world....and normally I hate zombie games).
And even though I was not a big fan of the final boss fight, it did prove to be the only game that mimic'd the movies "hereo stops the clock with 1 sec to go". As I was desperately beating the bad guy down trying to beat the clock and when it expired I thought I lost AGAIN and then all of the sudden the winning cutscene run. So I did get quite a rush from it.
So I am looking forward to this one and if all they do is polish it up and make the plot more straightforward, I am perfectly fine with it.
