Why o why5867d ago (Edited 5867d ago )

it didnt take long did it ¬_¬

anyhow if prototype is anywhere near as good or better than Infamous then some of us will be in for a double treat ...Simple, get both....if u can

eddyka25867d ago (Edited 5867d ago )

agreed, and why would they use violence as one of the factors? I don't care how much violence a game has as long as it's fun.

The General5867d ago (Edited 5867d ago )

I played Prototype as well and it's garbage compared to inFamous :-/
See how easy that was.

Now that we're back to our senses, right now only one of those games has the reviews and the reviews say that inFamous is a GOTY candidate. the Previews were also great for inFamous but they're iffy for Prototype. I really doubt that Prototype will get as good of reviews as inFamous.

And one more thing. They forgot two categories: Graphics and Gameplay which I believe inFamous easily does better in based on the Prototype previews and the 9's and 10's for inFamous.

O and Correction:
Originality:
inFamous: 5/5 - New Ip - possibly best open world superhero game
Prototype: 2/5 - The Hulk but doesn't need to transform. Been there done that. NEXT.

This must be a xbox fanboy article ...
They put all their hopes into Prototype as if it were a 360 exclusive.
Well Ps3 guys get both :P
Well but they don't get that :/

Unbiased15867d ago

So what if it is better? US PS3 owners get both

heroicjanitor5867d ago (Edited 5867d ago )

What is up with you? Earlier on you said you were selling your ps3 because europeans weren't getting psn cards...

And why are they being compared? I thought we only compare exclusives, but if prototype is better how is that a victory for the 360? The ps3 has it too...

Also love how they decide violence should get a score... Maybe infamous should be better because there is less violence?

TOO PAWNED5867d ago (Edited 5867d ago )

Prototype is beat em up

Unbiased15867d ago

I was just mad at Sony for not getting PSN cards, i am over it....no way i am selling "the beast"

Lifendz5867d ago

how all the people that complain about fanboyism dont complain about these articles. I guess cuz it's an article slamming a Sony exclusive. Whatever. I'm buying inFamous and renting Prototype. If Prototype is that ish, I'll buy it too. That simple.

Can't we all just play the games?

If Prototype scores 8 or better the console war score will be:

PS3: 2

Xbox 360: 1

Why started this particular rivalry, I have no idea.

Cajun Chicken5867d ago

Nicely said, but the 360's going to get the equivalent of Infamous as an exclusive with Crackdown 2 and with any hope, everyone'll be happy!

Godmars2905867d ago

No, then just like we have 360 fanboys clinging to Prototype as being superior to Infamous, they'll be lording Crackdown 2 over the PS3. Just like they'll be talking smack if the 360 version of Prototype sells more than either the PS3 version or Infamous.

Marcelles255867d ago

crack down isn't confirmed (it will probably happen tho)
its totally different
cell shaded

the only similarity would be open sand-box game

KingsofOmega5867d ago

So no comparison of graphics, physics, actual fun factor, AI, replay value, length, value for money or any of that stuff, instead we get an comparison talking about how more gore makes one game > another game.

Lame comparison tbh.

BubbleSystemSuck5867d ago

Why i dont care?
because i buy infamous AND prototype

jmiol-on-psn5867d ago

This is what they have to say,,,me i can't wait for tomorrow to play infamous.

We were able to play inFamous and Prototype and we have the verdict of which game is better and will rock this summer! Which one will come out on top? Read below now!

In-Game Powers

Prototype:
You will be playing as Alex Mercer, who has the ability to absorb other beings and take on their appearance, memories and abilities. Even better than that, he can altar his form into a variety of flesh-carving, tank-smashing shapes such as razor sharp claws and powerful body armour.
Powers Score - 5/5

inFamous:
Cole McGrath has the power to manipulate electricity in a variety of exciting ways. He can do everything from projecting concentrated beams of electricity to throwing sticky balls of the stuff.
Powers Score - 4/5

Violence

Prototype:
Every screenshot you have seen would probably have blood and guts flying through the air. The best part is when absorbing others, you produce a bloody whirlwind of body parts.
Violence Score - 5/5

inFamous:
Frying a reaper and watch him do a thousand volt tap dance is as brutal as it get's unfortunately.
Violence Scoe - 3/5

In-Game Freedom

Prototype:

Mercer can run up the side of a building before leaping off and gliding back to earth. If you're not into that kind of thing, he can hijack helicopters and tanks too. The only real parts of New York that seem to be off limits are inside buildings.
Freedom Score - 4/5

inFamous:
Cole can stick to almost any surface. He can't quite crawl up the side of buildings but he makes the most of cracks and drainpipes. He can even use telephone wires as tightropes.
Freedom Score - 4/5

Morals

Prototype:
Mercer is simply out for revenge. Hurling tanks and snapping people in half doesn't affect gameplay at all so you may as well be as evill as possible.
Moral Score - 2/5

inFamous:
At certain points of the game Cole is forced to make a split-second decision that will divert him from a superhero into a villain. The karma system will provide an extra layer of death.
Moral Score - 4/5

Originality

Prototype:

Some of Mercer's powers are combined from some of the greatest games ever created. The most original part of the game though is the node system that unlocks the plot.
Originality Score - 2/5

inFamous:
inFamous will definetly cause deja vu. From Coles use of electricity based abilities to the plot and power altering karma system there's very little here that you won't have seen before.
Originality Score - 2/5

Overall Winner: Prototype - Just an excellent game with all the violence you could ever want in a game. inFamousis brilliant also but Prototype just snatches it.

The General5867d ago

No need to give this lame biased site any hits. Stupid flamebait article. inFamous is still Day 1 for me.

Ranking The Coldest, Most Ruthless Protagonists In Gaming

Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.

cloganart337d ago

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.

Armyofdarkness338d ago

Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1

bunt-custardly337d ago

Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.

shinoff2183360d ago

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

isarai359d ago

Omfg i would go apesh!t for that 😩

jznrpg360d ago

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.

mkis007360d ago

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.

Demetrius360d ago (Edited 360d ago )

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

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos419d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto419d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger88419d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies419d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
