Gamespot: Prototype Updated Hands-On Impressions

Last time Gamespot had a chance to take control of Alex Mercer and run him through an infected present-day New York City, they got a feel for his unique killing abilities. This time around, they were given the option of taking things a little slower and trying out the pseudostealth mechanics available in Prototype.

Warped forward to about halfway through the game, their initial job was to seek out and make contact with Dr. Ragland, an as-yet-unintroduced medical contact, at his lab. With the point marked on our map with a glowing yellow marker, they decided to stay above the fray going on at street level by dashing up buildings and then hurling ourselves off of and gliding to the next structure. Once they got close to their target destination, they descended to mingle with the crowd of citizens while wearing our now well-recognised hooded sweatshirt. Given that their progression with the game hasn't been chronological, it's still unclear what sort of awareness the locals have of Alex's presence or whether they perceive him as a threat.

I might rent it on my PS3, yes I said "rent", I'm a gamer on a budget so don't take out the pitchforks yet.

JeffGUNZ6226d ago

Yeah, I feel you. I might just goozex.com this game. With Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising coming out this summer then Modern Warefare 2 this fall, my budget has to be tight, especially since the fiance and I are trying to buy a house, I doubt buying all these games will fly with her haha.

Sheikh Yerbouti6226d ago

I have the same impression. Look more and more different that inFamous.

Jaces6226d ago (Edited 6226d ago )

We'll see what the reviews say. Other than that I'm really liking his special abilities and attacks.

Blood is good. ;)

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.

cloganart664d 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.

Armyofdarkness665d ago

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

bunt-custardly665d 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.

Profchaos747d 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?

banger88747d ago

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

ChasterMies746d 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.
