New Prototype 2 Trailer Released: Heller Throws Down

Wow, this "play serene music to brutal scenes of violence" trailer trend is really gaining some momentum. Set in motion with the original Gears of War trailer, and continued recently with the stunning Dead Island composition, Prototype 2 looks to stay the course with some punishing footage of Heller "Throwing down".

That is freaking crazy. If that is in-game, it looks quit nice.

Entropic5454d ago

It definitely appears to be rendered in real-time, using the in-game engine. It will be quite interested to see some more lengthy gameplay segments down the line. I'm definitely interested to see how this title progresses.

Dammit! I was waiting for that body to hit the car so I could bask in the orgasm of the physics of that car being crushed and shattered glass.

So far looks like a nice graphics upgrade over the first one.

lol me too ,I am disappointed to be honest

nothing new but the graphics , I just hope this hell throw thing is better than the first game

Christopher5454d ago

I'm glad they decided to actually spruce up the environments rather than using the same buildings over and over from the first game.

And, yeah, looks in game, but they used multiple throws to extend it and make it look longer than it is.

Derekvinyard135454d ago

why are they releasing this? its wayyyy to far away. they did this to the last one hyped it to early

Entropic5454d ago

This is an interesting trend I think... Getting the word out very very early, as opposed to months before release. Brink did this as well; I believe the first trailer for that released over a year before the game even had much press coverage. I'll be interested to see how Prototype 2 handles the rest of the year regarding things like this.

Croash5454d ago

Well think about it, as far as we know, the game will be released in 2012. But what if it releases in January 2012?
That would be 10 months from now.
You can compare that to Uncharted 3 or Mass Effect 3's announcements made in December 2010 and coming at the end of the year, after only 11 months :/

Early is announcing Insane for 2013, now that's insane (ha ha...).

SuicidalTendencies5454d ago

I hope they get better disc pressers this time around. I can't even get my copy of the first game to play anymore without it giving me an error. Needless to say I won't be buying this game.

midgard2275454d ago

hope this game is good this time around. in the first game when i worked at gamecrazy we had to have it muted, i picked up the controller and was completing missions by accident without even knowing what to do or if i accepted them. was way to easy.

running was fun for the first 10 mins, but got stale fast. infamous was far better, first prototype felt like that hulk game they made with a different character. hope the next one is better

Entropic5454d ago

I think they will be making some noticeable improvements to this game regarding not just the graphics, but also mission structure and fluidity. I believe OXM has a few details surrounding some of the intended updates.

FFXI1015454d ago

I agree with you, I thought the game was ok. Fun for the first 30mins maybe then it gets old and repetitive.(was glad I didn't buy it, rented it first)

The Worst Eighth-Gen Remasters

In an industry that grows increasingly reliant on remasters, few were worth complaining about, making the original versions preferable in most respects.

Not sure what happened with FFCC. They really bungled it big time. It's a shame too.

FinalFantasyFanatic1631d ago

I really wanted to play that one too, but after the demo I was disinterested in buying it.

ZeekQuattro1630d ago

Glad Square really likes putting out demos. It can help you dodge a bullet. Lol

Rangerman12081632d ago

To this day, the Crystal Chronicles remaster still left me with a sour taste. I really wondered how Square reacted to the feedback.

porkChop1632d ago

I thought the Prototype games had terrible graphics even when they first came out. Pretty crazy that the remasters essentially got nothing in the way of visual upgrades. A resolution bump. Yay.

Christopher1632d ago

Let alone Activision kept those prices at release price for a year before they even thought to reduce them in a sale.

Petebloodyonion1631d ago (Edited 1631d ago )

To me, this topic is pretty easy to answer as I recall laughing at loud when Bethesda announced that PPL on consoles (Xbox1 and Ps4) would need to buy Skyrim Special edition and it would be free for existing pc Owner because it was basically the same game at max setting.
I often gave this answers to numerous ppl who where happy about paying 40$ for cheap remaster that would have been free on PC by saying everybody wins PC players gets the upgrade for free because they never paid in the past for quick fix that a mod of graphics card could do and Consoles players get to pay because they love paying and defend the practice of paying (like the numerous I have a VHS tape of the movie why don't they give me a free DVD version).

So for me, any crappy Remasters that deserve to be on this list are the ones that only give a frame boost and resolution boost for a full-price experience from the previous generation. Now ill exclude compilations like Batman, Uncharted Trilogy, Bioshock Trilogy, etc. because they were actually giving you more than 1 game so I'll count them as a collection instead of remasters Nor should I included games that have complete remade graphics or add new playable elements (Metro 2033 Redux, Quake, Gears of War Ultimate)

Since there are too many games ill give some example that comes to mind: Heavy Rain Remaster, The Last of US remaster, God of War 3 remasters, Burnout Paradise city Remaster, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. Baja: Edge of Control HD, etc.

Again my main complaint here (has it was last gen) is that these kinds of remastering are now free (called performance patches now) but were sold at a premium price despite having almost no work to put in.
