I've played so many games set in Manhattan that if I were to ever go there I'm sure I could navigate the city with ease, and even though much of my experience in the Big Apple has been as Peter Parker, that web-head has nothing on our latest anti-hero, Alex Mercer. In fact, if you were to break down the character of Alex in both abilities and gameplay style, you are going to find an inclusive mix of themes including but not limited to; Wolverine, Hulk, Spider-Man, Venom, GTA, Mercenaries, and Mirror's Edge."
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
Movies and games have always had a closer connection. There has been an increasing trend in Hollywood to transform successful games in movies. While most of them have turned out to be disasters lik…
Out of all the games in which you play the bad guy which ones are the best? Which games are the most fun to play as the bad guy at its blackhearted fullest?
The game is amazing - a must buy.
if you have not played inFAMOUS, it's easy to say that prototype is an excellent game.. notice how this review said " Wolverine, Hulk, Spider-Man, Venom, GTA, Mercenaries, and Mirror's Edge." when, clearly, this game is very similar to inFAMOUS (open-world super-hero sandbox)
now, if you played inFAMOUS, you'll realize that prototype is a POS..
it's like saying that the ford taurus is the best car in the world because you haven't driven a ferrari..
haha, xbots have fun getting stuck with your mediocre games
I just finished Infamous and had prototype on pre-order. But now after playign InFamous, Prototype feels like crap and the controls are really wierd. I don't know I'm probably wrong, I've only played through the first couple chapters or something. There is still a lot of powers I have to get. Here's hopen for the best, but InFamous just really raised the bar for superhero sandboxes DAMN.
You can watch the first 8 minutes of gameplay at msxbox-world.com.
Watching that helped me make up my mind to buy the game. It looks quite good.
