Looks like the graphics are coming along much better, although it could be the PC version they are showing or the screens just look really nice because they're so small. Either way I'm excited my brother and I went and bought Prototype and inFAMOUS yesterday and they're some of the funnest games I've played (even though I already beat inFAMOUS about a year ago).

Forever in the shadow of inFamous 2

I actually liked Prototype more, mostly becouse of the setting, but I agree, inFamous 2 will get a lot more attention than Proto2.

About pics, it looks like the game will look a lot more better than first one. I'm guessing this game will be a lot like AC1 & AC2, by that I mean that in the first game all the pieces were there, but it didn't deliver that well, f.ex. monotonous gameplay. But in the second game, they just need to improve the formula, eagerly waiting this sequel!

Looking forward to this , prototype is everything I wanted from a game as a ki. I actually had plans to make a game just like it one day. It's like they read my mind

Looks awesome

I loved Infamous for the story, but Prototype was the best most fun stress reliever ever.

Nothing matches the joy of sprinting full speed down the street, jumping across the city, ripping people in half, and elbow dropping tanks from the empire state building.

IMO fun should always come before graphics or story and Prototype is still my favorite "mindless fun" game. Except for maybe Arkham Asylum, no other games makes you feel like such a badass

I can't wait for Prototype 2

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic1387d ago

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

ZeekQuattro1387d ago

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

Rangerman12081388d ago

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

porkChop1388d 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.

Christopher1388d ago

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.
