Dark Sector in competition with Prototype, says Digital Extremes

12
Videogaming247 is reporting that Digital Extremes guy Dave Kudirka sees Prototype in the same space as his baby Dark Sector, saying, "There are a few action titles coming out in this first quarter that we'll be competing with, but Prototype is definitely the title that appears to have generated comparison to Dark Sector in the online community.

"I think the attractive monster-as-hero convention is the strongest connection between the two titles. And names like Devil May Cry, Metal Gear, and Grand Theft Auto always cast a big shadow, especially when you're bringing a new IP to the table."

1 - these guys are about 10 mins from my house.
i should go over there and tell them to JUST make the game and keep quiet.

BTW, when Pariah was out, you could find it everywhere here for like 10 bucks NEW(at pawnshops etc.)

hopefully it`s the same w/ DARKSECTOR

2.1 - Was thinking the same thing
Besides the months between release separating them from my understanding DS is linear while Prototype is sandbox.

I guess he's saying their both third person shooters with wacky-virus-mutation-powers thats why they "compete"

Maybe its just me but I was excited for both games and the more I see and hear about them the less I'm excited.

5 - You've Got The Comparisons All Wrong
inFamous vs. Prototype

Those two games will be similar but because they don't come out around the same time it doesn't mean it isn't competition. With Dark Sector vs.Prototype they're two very different games so it all depends on what type of game you like. With inFamous vs. Prototype these games are in the same genre. So if you like Prototype you'll like inFamous.

Prototype is open world, i would NEVER compare dark sector to prototype on gameplay (but i can see how they compare storywise, both main characters can make stuff morph from their bodies lol)

I'm excited for Dark Sector but saying you are competing with Prototype is setting yourself up for failure. Prototype looks to be one of the best games of the year and Dark Sector looks to just be a good game.

Dark Sector looks to have way more replay value, especially with multiplayer. Where prototype looks like a stellar game too, but without competitive multi player it's more of a rental title. Dark Sector may turn out to be a severely underrated game, but mark my words it will deliver in spades regardless.
