OXM: Prototype Preview

Tim Bennison knows you're evil. "In open-world games, the player is a son of a bitch. They're going to want to do terrible things," says the Executive Producer of Prototype. "So rather than build a game with a moral code or restrictions on what the character can do because he's not that bad, screw it!"

Hence the quite remarkable level of gore in Prototype. Your military experiment Alex Mercer has to absorb people to survive, and it's not a subtle experience - screaming pedestrians are ripped to pieces on city streets, and he's not shy about property damage either. OXM saw him running straight up the side of skyscrapers then leaping back to the ground unscathed, hijacking military helicopters by tossing the navigator out and then splattering the pilot messily across the inside of the cockpit.

or it could be a Crackdown/Assasin's Creed lookalike. I have a feeling it might be, but the combat just looks sick and innovative.

Ranking The Coldest, Most Ruthless Protagonists In Gaming

Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.

I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.

Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos665d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
