GFN: Prototype Preview

GamingFront.net take an in depth look at 'Prototype' due out June 9th.

" 'Prototype' defiantly seems like it is shaping up to be yet another blockbuster title for Activison. Developer Radical seems to have crafted a well thought out, deep "Sandbox" game. If all the peices of the puzzle fit together like they should, 'Prototype' could be this coming summers first true hit"

This game looks so awesome. Does anyone else think that Prototype and inFamous seem a little similar?

iHEARTboobs6142d ago

Well, they're open world/sandbox games, but I think that's where the similarities end. They both look like fun in their individual ways.

omodis4206142d ago

I just find it weird that they are releasing around the same time. Seems to me like Sucker Punch moved up their release date for a reason. inFamous was supposed to come out in July and now all of the sudden it comes out in May. After the Prototype release date was announced. Something fishy there to me.

- Ghost of Sparta -6142d ago

Prototype was delayed and Infamous went gold. What's fishy about that? Oh wait, you were trying to imply that the real reason why Sucker Punch finished the game sooner is 'cause they're scared of Prototype, am I right? Did you know that Prototype was supposed to be released in 2008 and was pushed back due to development issues? Obviously you did not know that.

In short, if you're done with your game and you've polished the hell out of it, release it. Don't wait, especially when there's competition right around the corner. That's called stupidity.

Danja6142d ago

well im certainly interested in this game , Infamous then Prototype .. a busy summer ahead , luckily exams will be over by then :)

The_Zeitgeist6142d ago

i personally am mad that they moved up the release date of infamous to may from july. Now i don't have enough time to finish paying off my pre-order that I have been paying off. Guess I'll have to cancel.

Figboy6142d ago

but i worked at Vivendi last year, and after GTAIV released, the Prototype devs freaked, and delayed the release. inFamous was always on schedule for a 2009 release.

personally, i think the delay was nothing but GOOD for Prototype, as it looks SOOOO MUCH better now than it did a year ago. if the game had released last year, it wouldn't have faired so well.

i still think inFamous will be the better game (i'm currently playing through the Sly Cooper games from Sucker Punch, and man, they are quite brilliant - i have high hopes for inFamous), but Prototype is a very different game, with a very different tone and feel.

i'm so sick of everything being a VS these days.

more than one game in the same genre can co-exist you know, and they don't ALL have to look, play, and feel exactly the same.

trust me, inFamous has more in common with Sly Cooper than Prototype or Crackdown, and Prototype has more in common with Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, and Hulks: Ulitmate Destruction than inFamous or Crackdown.

you guys need to get out of your close minded, "there can be only one" mindset, and start having fun with games again.

what? do you think that if you bought BOTH inFamous AND Prototype, one would suddenly explode and become unplayable?

PS3 owners get to enjoy BOTH games, that's a great thing.

i'll certainly be giving Prototype a spin, despite the fact that i'm looking forward to inFamous more. hell, the more games i have to play during the generally empty summer months the better, i say.

Fat Bastard6142d ago

Hey, at least it gives SOME people a game to play this year besides Halo Wars

better than running around throwing electric snowballs at people.

solidjun56142d ago

I bet that comment makes you sleep better at night right?

iHEARTboobs6142d ago

"better than running around and throwing electric snowballs at people"

Is it also better than having a choice between two games and not only one?

Why dis6142d ago (Edited 6142d ago )

LMAO

Energy Snowballs and:

Way less action and much slower. Plus 1/10 the offerings like vehicles, impressive powers, weapon selection, and combat mechanics.

@3.3 Why would gamers feel left out because they can not choose between two different games when they'll opt for the one with way more offerings anyways? The two games are so similar most gamers will not spend $120 for them.

I wonder which game will sell better on PS3?

joydestroy6142d ago

no way dude. i think inFamous is going to own this one now.
i was looking forward to them both, but this doesn't look as good as i was expecting. i'll give it a rent.

Game does look pretty awesome

The_Zeitgeist6142d ago

I can see it now....

Prototype 7.5 5 Million Units
inFamous 9.0 1 million units

The_Zeitgeist6142d ago

inFamous has been getting strong buzz from critics for over a year now. There are tons of critics who have played the almost finished version of the game that are praising it and saying it won't disappoint.

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.

cloganart578d ago

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.

Armyofdarkness579d ago

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

bunt-custardly579d ago

Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.

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.

Profchaos661d 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

Tacoboto661d ago

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?

banger88661d ago

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

ChasterMies660d ago

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.
