Re: Prototype Or InFamous?

I didn't like the original killzone that much, but seems radicaslly different, and I have nothing against it.

Oh and Prototype comes out next week in the E.U, one week before the U.S.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Prototype just got released in the US. I'd appreciate a brief review or even just an opinion on it from someone who has it over there Very Happy

I think Infamous looks cooler. I always like choice in games, and Infamous is much more of an RPG than Prototype... which pretty much forces you down the path of 'angstful mutant.'

Infamous also looks a HELL OF A LOT more beautiful. Graphics aren't the most important part of a game... but when it comes to open-word games, visuals are very important to the immersiveness of the experience to me... and infamous is fucking beautiful.

Prototype, on the other hand, could use some textures.

Anyways, I'm sure both are good, but if I had a PS3, I'd be getting infamous on day one.

by Cheese Thu Jun 11, 2009 1:25 pm

Speaking of being forced down the angstful mutant path, I'm going to be lame and try not to kill people I don't think deserve it. And yes this includes random military men who are totally just standing there and doing their job.

I think I might have missed the point of this game Razz

lol that's definitely something worth trying, and in the end fits better with the characters story.

anyhow, adam sessler said to stop comparing infamous and prototype...so....

I'll just go on a killing spree if I decide to get the game. I'll kill EVERYTHING!

by Cheese Thu Jun 11, 2009 4:01 pm

There's an achievement for running over 500 civilians in a single tank Very Happy

infamous just doesn't seem quite as interesting to me.

Most games where you can use electricity the power is more of one of several, so I don't see it being used as a main and only power.

And I don't generally like "good or evil" games as they usually falter on the "save a box of kittens or destroy the whole fucking litter with an atomic bomb" scale and it just doesn't feel right playing on extremes and as far as I know I don't think prototype has a good/evil style in it.

by Toaster Thu Jun 11, 2009 5:43 pm

I don't know. Prototype just doesn't excite me at all. It just feels generally less polished than other open world games.

The CG stuff I've seen of it look great, but the gameplay looks sorta meh.

Sorry.

It's not the only power. It's the one you start with, but there's a lot more.

Anyone know of a good program that will convert to an iso file for free without that stupid 300 mb limit?

Lol, the thing that annoyed me most about people stealing this game was getting around the stupid UK release date. So I've had all them lot relating their epic stories to me while I just cried...

But, in a couple minutes I begin my two hour journey to go get it! Woolworths was a terrible loss...

by KristallNacht Fri Jun 12, 2009 12:47 pm

Played it for like 12 hours last night.

Its really fun, until you get to the first fight with Mother (day 12) because that mission and the mission directly after (which i'm on now) are frustrating and not fun by any means.

NTM at that point in time the city is crawling with infected and the military calls in like fucking the ENTIRE army if you so much and step on a flower. Annoying as fuck.

But definitely, earlier on, disguising as a soldier, getting a m16 and hunting infected with a bunch of random AI soldiers (and tanks) was fun as hell!!!!

by Cheese Fri Jun 12, 2009 3:29 pm

So are you gonna buy it now?

by **Vigil** Fri Jun 12, 2009 5:39 pm

It reminds me a lot of Hulk Ultimate Destruction, and it should as it made by the same team.

I find the stealth elements to be quite fun. I enjoyed sneaking into some Military bases and consuming the soliders inside covertly extremely fun.

Hunters are annoying, espically if your undercover, as they are relentless.

I wonder the same

From a guy with the only PS3 on this other forum, so naturally he went for infamous first.

'Infamous and PS3 just froze for the second time in 24 hours, and Cole the main guy is an unlikable dickhead "dude". I think I will swap this for Prototype after a couple of run throughs.

edit.
Completed Infamous, got real boring real fast towards the end. The electric powers lose their appeal quickly and the game is full of glitches and control errors. I want M-rated crazyaction not this bland family friendly blargh.'

I still love Prototype and spent similar times to NT playing but I'm worried how long it will last after completion (mission 23/31 I think I'm on). Looks to have good replayability though and I love playing around with the different powers.

Especially the whip one. KAPOW!

I know! lol I think the marines are stupid as fuck, im sprinting full speed in circles and there just like "wtf" and then they just look away and dont shoot -.-. The first boss really is the captain(cant remember his name but he has the shock thingy, he injects you with the virus killer thing) I love acting as marines or black watch, I just run around and help marines soldiers or just watch them die XD. The stealth missions are hard as fuck when theirs super soldiers in the area, they like know its you immediately even when your in disguise, or at least in 5 seconds.

Elisabeth(mother) wasnt very hard, all you had to do is just use the tanks and helios, then whens she down use your blade on her. Her radius attack is annyoing when your already down. The city is just so fun to free roam, I just love destroying hives, the hunter leaders arent that hard as long as you use your blade jump attack on them(if you have bought it already). The supreme hunter was just "HOLY SHIT" I threw cars and rock at till it was almost dead then I moved in for the kill. Overall from what i have played this game is amazing, just rent/buy it and you will be on your 360 for most of the next three days.
