Prototype vs. Infamous

[Durahansolo]

Make sure you watch all of the Infamous ones first. I think out of the two, I'm gonna buy Prototype. In the first 10 seconds of the second Prototype demo video there were about 30 deaths lol. Both are awesome looking games.

Looks more like a rental

Re: Prototype vs. Infamous

It looks like Infamous may be more fun than Prototype. I'm not sure what the different builds that you can do are, but there is an distinction when you do certain things in game, for example if you suck people's bio electric field and people are watching you get a sort of bad karma and you develop your skills better to adapt that need to "feed". Well that's what I heard anyways.

In all the videos of Prototype it seems like you are getting your ass handed to you just as much as your handing out the ass kicking. I don't like to get knocked down so much, and it just ruins the mood when you get knocked down and frustrated to get back up again.

I'm going to get InFamous. Not sure about Prototype now at this point, I wanted both, but after seeing that guy get knocked down so much, it's kinda unappealing.

Prototype looked awesome.

Re: Prototype vs. Infamous

I find it funny that their logo art is kinda familiar...




Maybe not, but both video game cases I've seen are black with those logos pasted on them. They might be changed before release time though. When I first saw the games I thought they were both gonna be system specific since inFamous is for the PS3, however Prototype will be out on the PS3, 360, and PC.

Re: Prototype vs. Infamous

For inFamous: Lots of redundant lightning ball throwing blindly. Did I mention it looked redundant? The platforming elements seem very cool too. And I like how he meshes combat with platforming often. But it's kinda unfair to put it on the same page as Prototype since...

Prototype definitely thought big. This guy is almost god-like. The awesome city platforming, a glide function, the super-slow speed for menu interactions (somehow doesn't take you out of the action like an all-out pause would)... it reminds me of the Spider-Man video game and I believe the Hulk one was similar but I never played it. I like these sort of full-city mass movement. Putting more combat all throughout and meshing the 2 always gets a thumbs up from me. I really like that you can hijack helicopters, but i actually hate vehicle segments of games. For a game like this, the idea of giving up your amazing mobility and versatility for a box on treads with a gun is just saddening.

End of the day: I'm more interested in Prototype.

and I believe the Hulk one was similar but I never played it. I like these sort of full-city mass movement.

Prototype's Devs (Radical Entertainment) made Hulk and Hulk: Ultimate Destruction which might be the reason it looked reminiscent of the Hulk games. I had never played either of them because I never got around to it, but they both looked fun.

inFamous's Devs (Sucker Punch Productions) made the Sly Cooper series and Rocket: Robot on Wheels.

Re: Prototype vs. Infamous

I'm going to have to try both.

Though I would love to see those two throw down in an all out brawl once they're both fully powered up.

Re: Prototype vs. Infamous

Sucker Punch has a proven track record with me, so I'm already excited for inFamous. Though I will definitely check out Prototype as well.

Re: Prototype vs. Infamous

New Infamous Trailer ok now this one actually makes me wanna play the game. It looks 100x cooler than the others and showcases some of the powers in he game.

Re: Prototype vs. Infamous

Awesome, and this is probably the closest I'll get to having a GTA IV Matrix mod on the PS3.

Re: Prototype vs. Infamous

Ok, I'm getting more and more excited about Infamous. In fact, I just about had my mind made up to secure $60 when I went to the wiki and read...

Being good or evil will also determine what color Cole's electrical powers will be, blue for a good character and red for an evil one, as well as the nature of his attacks; defensive for good and aggressive for evil.

Bulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllshit.

I hate alignment-based powers. I'll always want to be aggressive, but I'll never be able to accept being even slightly evil.

If I have to be a dick to shape the character as I want, I may as well play Prototype instead... that guy certainly doesn't have any inhibitions about killing anything in a 100 mile radius.
