IGN: Prototype Review

Blaze929 - 194 days 14 hours ago

But I wonder if IGN really played this game or just wrote up a quick review to beat the embargo and get tons of hits for being one of the first top sites with a review; doesn't sound like the reviewer really gave a damn. 5.5 graphics...really? Other reviews are looking pretty sweet.

ah well, was never interested in the game anyway.

"If it weren't for some nice animations, this game wouldn't have anything going for it visually."

ouch!

"You can do just about everything in well under 20 hours. I didn’t find myself compelled to play for a second time at all."

Prototype you rent. And that's not a slight at 360 because the game isn't exclusive. The fact that my actions influence how the populace sees me sold me on infamous. In Prototype it seems you're just a walking wrecking ball. I'm sure the game is fun though. I plan on restarting my Gamefly account in a few weeks. It'll probably be one of the first games I play.

Hmmm maybe I should give this game a second chance.
the graphics really turned me off, they are extremely bad

graphics aside, if ign gives it 7.5, then it definitely deserve a second chance from me.

DailyAddict - 194 days 13 hours ago

I'm sort of curious why IGN pointed out that they only got the 360 version of the game and not PS3 and PC. The reason I'm curious is because IGN DOES NOT DO MORE THAN ONE REVIEW for a game and this is very apparent and has been for quite some time. They typically just play the 360 version, write one review and it gets published on both IGN PS3/360. I'm sure the devs have probably started noticing that most big multiplatform gaming networks like GameSpot and IGN only play one copy (which is always typically the 360 version, which is usually easy to tell given that most of the screenshots shown are always the 360 version) and just decided to not even send multiple copies since it was unnecessary anyway.

Tony P - 194 days 13 hours ago

Ugh. And this was on my 'get' list.

I can't believe the sandbox itself sounds so half-assed. All signs point to great action but less than stellar use of the environment. What is a sandbox game without a smartly exploited environment? Just some action game. I can deal with bland visuals, but only if that sacrifice is made in favour of (surprise) a better sandbox. Not piling as many enemies as possible onto one screen. That's just annoying.

Sheesh. I guess the people comparing this to Hulk were right.

I still might give it a go in the slim hope that I'll like it more than the reviewer, but...I'm borrowing, not buying.

- Ghost of Sparta - - 194 days 11 hours ago

I was one of the people who constantly bashed Prototype for being a mutliplatform sandbox-style video game in my anticipation for Infamous but I've gotta say, this review is so full of sh*t I don't even know where to begin. Before I start, I'd like to make clear that I am among the biggest PS3 fanboys on N4G and I own Infamous, even got the platinum trophy.

1. Prototype, on PS3 at least, I can't speak for the version this guy reviewed which was the 360 version, performs flawlessly with nearly zero frame rate dips and AA whereas Infamous had it's fair share of slowdown and constant jaggies. 5.5 for graphics? Please kill yourself. The character models AND environments in Prototype all look better than those in Infamous. This is one of those rare cases where a multiplatform game looks better than a PS3 exclusive.

2. Polish. I must have died about 10+ times in Infamous due to glitches and bugs and freezing. It's obvious that Sucker Punch got tired of working on the game and decided to release it earlier than originally scheduled without making sure that the game was truly ready to go. Prototype's delay was a good thing as now I see that the game couldn't be anymore polished than it already is. Everything from the in-game menus to the way everything runs is flawless.

3. The only way you could possibly finish Prototype in 20 or less hours would be to rush through the game and skip the hidden goodies, which you get trophies for by collecting them all. There is so much to do in Prototype and the mission structure isn't as repetitive as Infamous.

4. Cole can climb buildings? Alex Mercer can run up and down buildings. Cole can blow up cars? Alex Mercer can blow them up OR toss them at people / tanks / choppers with his bare hands. In a showdown, Alex Mercer would DESTROY Cole McGrath.

If you and I share similar tastes in gaming, ignore this dumb f*cking review and pick up Prototype. Cannot believe the ridiculousness of this utterly misleading garbage.

You couldn't be more wrong, IGN usually reviews all 3 versions (notice how they say if there are graphical differences between the versions of the game), in some cases PS3 versions have scored less because of graphical inferiority or bugs. They even do head to head comparisons and recommend which one to buy, IGN is very thorough that's why they're so respected, not some lazy random game reviewing site.

You guys are getting all up in arms over the review, but did you read the word under the review...it says good. Not bad, not ok...it says good. Last I checked, good was, well...good. So what it didn't receive the same score as infamous...I knew it wouldn't, but it didn't hamper my willingness to buy the game. If you wanted to play this at one time, go get it. a 7.5 isn't bad. There's been good games that have received the same score.

Or, wait for more scores. Only one, maybe 2 big name sites have given their reviews. a 7.5 for IGN and a 90 for GamePro. Wait for the others if you are still on the fence. They will be out throughout the day today.

IGN usually give a game what I'd give a game, so this is quite low. Is it going to be another game like red faction guerilla, based on destruction only?

Maybe inFAMOUS did affect this score, inFAMOUS is made so well, almost every part of it is fantastic, the only aspect that needs some improvement is graphics and even those are better than 90% of the games available on consoles.

This is really bad if you ask me. I was expecting at 8-8.5 score from IGN honestly. However there has been 1 time I 100% disagreed with IGN in a review and that was Assassin's Creed which got a 7.5 from them as well. AC's story and look alone merited a solid 8/10. Of course a game like AC was only worth a rent and that's what I did with it and came away very pleased.

I believe at the end of the day Prototype may be in the same pitfall---it's just not worth 60 bucks, but very worth renting as the story and quick romp through it will leave you pleased.

I'm renting it unless more bad reviews come in or someone can varify if this games story is crap. :P

I really don't give a toss about your nerdy insults of "fanboy this fanboy that" If you know me you'll know I utterly despise editorial review gaming sites. I think they're a cancer to the progression of the industry and I've long called for some sensible balance so these Aholes dont' hold so much power over developers and the community any more...

However, that being said, when something like this happens, it is sooooo frikgen SWEEEEEEET!

All the 360 fanbase that just ragg and hate on PS3 exclusives no matter how insanely great these IPs look; All of them that look for developers to fail cause they do PS3 exclusives even though they can clearly see extremely high quality in these IPs but will willingly have some mediocre crap hyped to hell just cause it's not a PS3 exclusive; all them that love to see PS3 exclusive developers close down shop even though they worked their darnest to bring gamers great new gaming experiences all just because they had an exclusive on the PS3. This one is a WIN for PS3 exclusive developers and I'll take it and run!

We all could see INfamous was a much better quality gaming experience from the start but no-oooo, the 360 fanbase know if they can just BS loudly enough, you'll get anyone believing mediocre games are indeed AAA and vice-versa. For some reason the 360 fanbase have taken multiplat games to be their exclusives and thus they always look for multiplats, that don't push our gaming experiences, to out shine exclusives that clearly do.

I am so glad for Sucker Punch. So easily this great great game they toiled on could have been down the crapper and mediocre games would have been hailed as AAA over it. Thus, the PS3 fanbase could have been robbed, yet again, of sequels to a great new IP.

Today is a good day and I'm happy for INfamous & Sucker Punch on this one. EAT IT HATERS! WoooooooooT! lol!!!!!!!!

Again, this just goes to show how delusional most of the PS3 fanboys on this site are. One review is posted that goes along with their worldview and it is suddenly latched onto as if it were the only one that exists. Same kind of thing that happens when a developer says something they like about the PS3. That statement is latched onto and proclaimed as the holy gospel, while they simply ignore all the other developer comments and evidence to the contrary.

It doesn't seem to dawn on these PS3 loyalists that, so far, inFamous has a lower overall score on metacritic (85) than Prototype does (93). Nobody knows what the future will hold, but to proclaim inFamous the better game based on one abnormally low score is the very definition of 'detached from reality'.

The way I purchase or rent games from review scores goes along the lines of this:

8.0 and above: Must buy (if I'm interested)
7.6 - 8.0: Get more opinions/research/ask friends if they've played it
6.5 - 7.5: Two options: if one game comes out (Prototype), rent it.
If two games or more are coming out (Prototype/Ghostbusters), reopen my GameFly account and rent from there until all the games you want to play have been played.
6.5 and below: I may play it if I think it looks good, I've heard some good stuff about it, and my GameFly queue is wide open.

It's a great system, and I fairly enjoy it. So far, Prototype looks to be a rental, and it looks to me like I may be renewing my GameFly sub.
