"It's never easy when two products of similar themes get released around the same time period. Whether it be Deep Impact and Armageddon, Dante's Peak and Volcano, or Mall Cop and Observe and Report. No matter what, the two will always be compared, and the cold hard truth is that one is destined to be better than the other.
Such was the case with Mays release of Sucker Punch's superhero open world game inFAMOUS, and Radical Entertainments similarly themed open world game, Prototype, release in June, just two weeks after inFAMOUS hit store shelves.
Starting now, every week we'll present you with a new Faceoff pitting two similarly themed games against one another, and objectively weighing their pros and cons from main character, to gameplay, to graphics, and deciding the victor. Face off begins now!"
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.
Sucker Punch rejuvenated the superhero genre with Infamous, a series that focused on the pure fun of wielding destructive powers.
Atleast release a remaster trilogy or something to gage interest. I'd buy it. With that said I'm pretty over superheroes at this point. Infamous is still dope as fk though so it'd be a buy
I agree but games take 4-6 years to make so who knows when they would do it? After Ghost of Tsushima2? They could have something else in the world as well in early production who knows.
It's a shame Sucker Punch finally figured out a good open world formula only while making Ghost of Tsushima. Infamous 1 and 2 were great for their time, but Second son felt too much like a checklist in It's design. I love the hell out of all 3 games (2 and 3 are just so damn good, while 1 shows it's age and the ps3 struggles), but I would love to see how they would do another infamous with all they have learned. Wouldn't hurt to release a remastered collection either.
This series, days gone, will continue to get ignored by sony, luckily we still have the horizon series, sly cooper not getting pushed anymore, speaking of that I'm bout to get on my ps2 and play some sly 2 anyways lol, but seriously I never woulda thought back then sony would ever cold shoulder most of their franchises I'm actually surprised they're still letting ratchet&clank be around
This is getting so old... why can't these games just coexist?
Anyway, I have played Infamous until I got the platinum and I have no desire to play another superhero open world game for a good while because it completely quenched my thirst for the genre.
Prototype looks ok to me but honestly doesn't seem to have near the charm or character of Infamous. I feel like Sucker Punch just cared a lot more about their product as it is they only thing they have made this gen.
some1 needs to go die.
If game A is great, game B is great.. why the hell do u have to compare em?
they are both great -.-
stupid flame bait articles.
btw, the article is nicely written I will give it that much ^^ really detailed
I'm sorry, but I'm not approving this. These comparisons and versus type of articles are nothing more than pretty much a warzone here and on the sites themselves if they have a forum. It's already been stated, by quite a few people both games are good, but at least warrant a glance. Besides we have already had about what, ten comparison articles already?
Anyway, I guess the day can never end unless a versus article comes up.
"It's never easy when two products of similar themes get released around the same time period.
Yes it is. Prototype is a bad game. Infamous is a good game.
I choose you,inFamous.
