MonsterVine: "At its core, Prototype 2 remains true to its foundation but feels refined and polished than its predecessor."
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.
Cool, I just started playing the first one again. I thought maybe I had a good time with it last time because there was nothing else to play and that my memory was overrating it. But no, I still think it is one fun game to play. In fact I was wondering if there were any spiderman games that made traveling through the city as fun as the original prototype.
While replaying the first game I also wondered how they would "weaken" mercer to restart a new sequel but I see they are bringing in a new character. I bet there is a twist somewhere in the story that makes Mercer not necessarily the evil guy they think...but then again this was all his fault if I remember right (need to get to the end again).
I am a little concerned that they are "focusing more on one on one battles" and getting rid of the "overwhelming" situations. I can't say as I felt that overwhelmed in any part of the game except the last one on one fight. I hope they don't rip out too much of the fun in trying to make it less ...um confusing i guess... for the casual player. I mean its not exactly a hard core ninja giaden type game anyway. i play for fun and had tons of it on the normal setting. Wasnt too hard or too easy but just right.
