Hulk Ultimate Destruction and Prototype 2 Comparison

IGN.com: We compare Radical Entertainment's Prototype 2 to their 2005 release The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and discover a few similarities.

Whoa, I never played this Hulk game, only heard murmurs about it when people were talking about Prototype 1. As I thought that Prototype was more like Crackdown. Maybe Crackdown is actually more like Hulk UD..

But I did hear that Prototype's direction was to generally create an original IP of the same theme but without any licensing issues, no real restriction on abilities and Radical did exactly that. Bravo.

You should def check out the Hulk game. IMO, Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is a better overall game than Prototype 1. In Ultimate Destruction, Hulk's powers had more meaning than Alex Mercer's. With Mercer, you have all these crazy powers, but to me their kind of forced into the world..sort of like pieces that don't fit into a puzzle.

hulk ultimate destruction is a classic and an example of how to make a game with a god like character feel relevant and fun... prototype 1 and 2 are good game, liking 2 better than 1 right now, but i felt that same way about mercer after playing the first

Hulk Ultimate destruction was/is the best Hulk game ever made.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic988d ago

I really wanted to play that one too, but after the demo I was disinterested in buying it.

ZeekQuattro987d ago

Glad Square really likes putting out demos. It can help you dodge a bullet. Lol

Rangerman1208989d ago

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.

Christopher989d ago

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.
