Radical studio head Ken Rosman admitted Heller’s ethnicity was something, “Nobody wants to touch” when asked if the Prototype 2 hero’s African American origins were a tricky subject.
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.
*rolls eyes*
Does it really matter? Black, White, Chinese, Cat, Alien, Dog? I won't be judging the game by what the main character looks like, i'll be judging it by how it plays
Don't know why that would have been a big deal. As long as he's a believable character and the developers haven't loaded him with offensive stereotypes, I see no problem.
Everyone is so sensitive about race but we can't get past our issues if we aren't willing to talk about them in a constructive manner. But if no one talks, there will always be issues.
Same reason the world ended when Idris Ilba was cast as the gatekeeper god Heimdall in the movie Thor. And it turned out, his character was considered one of the best in the movie. If it goes against the status quo when it comes to skin color, those who feel they're skin privilege is being encroached upon, be it a movie, video game, or even the POTUS for that matter, will always complain and let they're true feelings and fear of becoming irrelevant, guide they're emotions. The fact that this is even an issue, shows we still have a long way to go when it comes to race.
That's not racist at all... just come out with it. Jeez.
