From the PlanetXbox360.com feature article:
"It takes a lot to standout in this day and age of cookie-cutter video games, with sequels and last-gen remakes infecting every aspect of our daily entertainment intake. There are two very popular categories or genres for next-gen video games to fall into right now, first-person shooters and open-world titles. Whatever the draw is to these two genres it has developers and publisher flocking to push out as many games as possible, whether or not they are the least bit innovative. Last week we had the chance to check out an upcoming "open world" action game from developer Radical Entertainment and publisher Ativision titled Prototype. During the event the "Grand Theft Auto" comparisons were flowing and when looking at the game from a general point of view it's easy to see why. Once we sat down and put our hands to the controller Prototype instantaneously differentiated itself from all those other open-world video games, and by the end of our playtime we were thoroughly impressed with what it had to offer."
From Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Batman: Arkham City to breakout hit Dispatch and new Marvel Cosmic Invasion, these are 10 of the best superhero games you can play today.
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
Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
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.
Game looks freaking awesome and should be anticipated by all open world game fans, anyone who likes action, mature action should keep an eye on it as well....
Great preview!
Good article, the game looks very interesting to say the least....well written and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed playing it so much....June can't come soon enough!
great article. i do see the grand theft auto comparisons you mentioned. i always enjoy open-world games because you have the freedom to step away from the story and do your own thing. but this game looks good and thanks for the preview!
GTA IV is least of its concern. inFamous would be the right game to compare it with. every one would be doing so. GTA IV was a let down. lucky are those who can afford both games.
looks awesome.
