"Prototype was a solid game. At its best - its most chaotic, its most empowering - it was a great game. It’s not high art, and it was never intended to make you think. It was silly, campy and ridiculous, but it was fun. It didn’t deserve to get overlooked. Thankfully, the series is getting another chance, and Prototype 2 is set to be released sometime in 2012. But it’s going to have to get a few things right if there’s ever going to be a third one."
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.
I really wanted to play that one too, but after the demo I was disinterested in buying it.
Glad Square really likes putting out demos. It can help you dodge a bullet. Lol
To this day, the Crystal Chronicles remaster still left me with a sour taste. I really wondered how Square reacted to the feedback.
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.
Let alone Activision kept those prices at release price for a year before they even thought to reduce them in a sale.
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.
Andrea Gennaro has released a HD Texture Pack for Prototype 2 that improves the textures of all the three zones (Red, Green and Yellow) of the game.
I can’t get it to work, I got the two HD packs and when I tried to run that Tex.exe nothing happens.
It's not rare for the hero to become the villain in video games. Luke Lube looks at five of the best good guys gone bad from Big Boss to Jill Valentine.
On the 360 it will, itll b ignored by me and most PS3 owners
I hope it does. But I'm concerned of the release date that long after. That's the same year as Bioshock Infinite release. There's no way that Prototype 2 will be able to contend. Just look at the graphics in the trailer.
Although I did love Prototype, I don't really want another Crackdown 2, and by that I mean a sequel that doesn't capitalise on the success and evolves after its original.
Also a bit miffed not playing as Mercer.
Simple answer NO.
If it's stellar then yes. It's not like open world games are an overcrowded genre - the very good to great ones seem to do well. They dont even need to be perfect (AC) but the world must be immersive and the story should be excellent to make upfor some boring objectives.
Well as long as journalist does not compare it with Infa... OH WHAT THE HEY!
