Prototype's graphics look great for an open world game of its size. It looks as good as inFamous and runs better to boot. It also has better anti-aliasing and less pop-in. Not to mention that in many parts the destruction and the amount of stuff going on on screen is simply amazing and dwarfs anything seen in Infamous, yet it keeps a more steady framerate.

Even Ghost of Sparta, who as we all know is a strong supporter of the PS3, said in another thread that Prototype is the better game. This is what he said:
"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."

lol.. I love it when Saberedge tries to downplay anything related to the PS3.. Now he is even comparing the multi-plats to prove that 360 is better LMAO. Dude stop living in 2007.

And ya Infamous>Prototype. Prototype is getting rave reviews. Infamous got only a handful of low scores and that too from sites like Edge & Eurogamers which are completely 360 biased. Prototype just got a 7.5 from IGN and is getting more and more reviews in that 7-8 marks. Even I don't give sh*t about review numbers, but it's your hypocrisy that intrigues me. When Infamous gets a bad review you are the first one to brag about it and now you hate it when Protoype sucks... Blody Hypocrite.

adult feel?
i love gore, but when was gore equals to adult feel?

Dark knight has no gore whatsoever. It certainly feels more "adult" than some teenage B movies...........

@ Darkeyes

When have I ever bragged about inFamous getting a bad review? Quit lying about me, you bloody fanatic. I have inFamous and I like it, why would I brag about it getting a low score? I have said lots of good things about the game.

The only reason I am saying Prototype looks better than Infamous is because it does and I am sick of PS3 fanboys distorting the truth and basically misleading people that don't know better.

Even Ghost of Sparta, who we all know is one of the biggest PS3 fans on this site, said that Prototype looks better. "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." Why don't you go argue with him.

Oh, and Prototype is around the same score as Infamous on Metacritic so far, so quit pretending that everybody agrees with you that Prototype is sooo much better.

Anyway, you obviously don't have a clue what I think. Infamous and Prototype are both great games and I am happy to have them in my collection.

(Oh btw, send me your PSN ID so we can game together sometime. Ha, I'm sure that is going to happen.)

@ saberedge...Ihave nothing against your opinion, but every single time there's a prototype review, your comment has "even Ghost of Sparta, selfproclaimed fanboy said......" I mean come on, ok Ghost of Sparta is a fanboy, but he also has his opinion I mean look at me, I favor sony over microsoft(but I dont hate microsoft), yet I thought Bioshock, a 360 timed exclusive, was better than both resistances(eventhough resistance is great) I also really like mass effect...see nthn to it, but I think inFAMOUS is better but...its just an opinion

Wow, N4G has seen some weird things but this might just take the cookie... Maybe.

As for the game, I hear that there is tons of blood, no decent textures on the buildings and a story about as shallow as a puddle. Is this true? If so then it is a rental at best.

"Even Ghost of Sparta, who we all know is one of the biggest PS3 fans on this site, said that Prototype looks better."

LOL, so now that makes it better? Wow, talk about logic fail right there.

Prototype looks bland, the environments are horrible, the vehicles and civilians look last-gen. The only thing that looks great about this one are the special effects related with blood and super powers, but other than that it looks last-gen. If you wanna praise the game, praise its gameplay, but even then it's a repetitive destruction fest. Plenty of sites are giving this game a free pass. IGN is usually pretty neutral, I think they also went high but oh well, that's probably the most credible score.

I know you have to save your ass from the FUD you've been spewing on other threads but I don't give a sh1t. You can have an opinion but you've been caught with crap before so your credibility is null.

@SaberEdge

Go get your focking eyes checked.

What SaberEdge said about Prototype looking and running better than InFamous is a pure,unadulterated lie. Prototype doesn't look remotely close to as good as Infamous.

It is clear to see at your first glance that Infamous looks better, a lot better. It is not something that can be mistaken or something that two people can disagree on.

Disagree Saber, prototype is terrible.

I've played both of them now, Prototype is very fun, but no way in the same league as inFAMOUS. Graphically inFAMOUS blows it out of the water, gameplay-wise inFAMOUS is more realistic, in Prototype, Alex has some crazy stupid powers (they're fun but they do get boring after a while, same as Red Faction Guerilla to be honest).

I still prefer inFAMOUS, probably one of the most fun and addictive games I've played in a long time on either console. IGN's review score was probably right, though I'd have given it maybe slightly more e.g. ~8.

Another thing; Infamous has 5 second open-world loading with the best open-world graphics and technology. It blows me away every time!

9.6 for gfx is a joke and saber please stfu go play prototyp and be happy and never again come back pulling the seize of the game in a discussion about graphics this comment made u look very desperate

@Nergardless why dose SaberEdge need to STFU? saberedge right. inFamous is a great no doubt about it, but the Graphics are not that great for a ps3 game. prototype has better graphics and all around better gameplay to. i don't see the need to hype up every ps3 only game to point that no other game can be better. there fanboy and fan of system and from what i been seeing so far you guy are acting as bad as the 360 fanboy 2 years ago.

romemac7...

Looks like you are the the one hyping anything up here. No one here is even talking about infamous your butt buddy sabre is the one who brought it up. You guys act like you are the only ones here who have access to the games, which i think is self centered and an insult to other N4g goers. Fact is we all have access and lots of us have played the game and it is decided an ok game with not so ok graphics. 9.6 for graphics? Better than Killzone, GTA4, Metal Gear Solid 4? GTFO.

like I said no one here is hyping Infamous becuase it doesn't need it. The hype is all about Prototype, which is pretty much a next gen Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.
