FAIL attempt at marketing the "2012" thing to build hype. It looks EXACTLY like the first. Hell, Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was a better game than Prototype 1.

@turnerdc- I agree, the idea was good, but the execution was horrible. City was lifeless, pedestrians didn't react to you in realistic ways, repetitive, no sense of direction etc.

@TheBlackSmoke- Yep..I was one of them. But I was WRONG. Prototype was fun for the first 2 hours...but after a day, it was the most regretful videogame purchase I made this generation.

TheBlackSmoke5309d ago

Do you remember when a certain section of the community actually thought it was on the same level as Infamous?

Shang-Long5309d ago

oh oh oh i do i do i do

was it the 360 community!??!

did i win

The only thing worse than a bad game is a bad game they start hyping two years out.

LORD-PHOENIX5309d ago

there most recent podcast they were slating prototype,also remember that fat fanboy from destructoid (forget his name,he wears sunglasses and looks a proper twat) praising it,he stated it was better than a certain superhero exclusive on ps3...

@ Deadreckoning666

Prototype 2 kill Alex Mercer
Yea it sucks because it looks exactly same ffirst

turnerdc5309d ago

Thought the first one was OK, interesting concept that wasn't pulled off all that great. Hopefully they'll improve on the first's shortcomings.

Croash5309d ago (Edited 5309d ago )

We haven't seen much, but I think that playing someone who wants to kill the first game's main character is something interesting.

Anyway, 2012 = they have time to develop the game, let's hope they make the gameplay even crazier and succeed in telling an interesting story.

Oh and now we're sure that there WON'T be an Infamous 2 vs Prototype 2 battle, and that's a good thing.

UP5309d ago

Dont say that their with will be somebody who will bring it up even though infamous 2 has been out for a wile.

SonyNGP5309d ago

Sadly, it's true.

Look at Forza 3 and GT5 for example.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic1396d ago

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

ZeekQuattro1395d ago

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

Rangerman12081396d ago

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

porkChop1396d 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.

Christopher1396d ago

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

Petebloodyonion1396d ago (Edited 1396d 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.
