"Much like Hollywood and their current love affair with remakes, reboots and unnecessary sequels, we find ourselves in a similar situation with Radical Entertainment‘s Prototype 2 and question whether this franchise warranted a sequel or not.
Prototype 2 is set once again in the most over used city in gaming, New York, which has seen yet another outbreak of the Mercer Virus, setting up the premise for the rest of the game."
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.
I thought the first was a bit mediocre... probably won't pick this one up.
Sandbox games are fun but I still like the focus of a game to be story. It seems that the more you can do in the sandbox, the more the story suffers.
Exceptions are GTA and Red Dead Redemption, and AC 2.
People need to play this game, disregard the first, the game improves on it no end, even just getting around the city is fun, fast and fluid and only gets better the more you complete objectives and gain power ups, the missions are more varied with less difficulty spikes than the first game, the game is defiantly worth a shot
I really liked the first one. I liked this one too but not as much. Though I did like the protagonist more and I thought some of the powers were cooler. Perhaps I liked 1 more because it was "new" and it was funner than the games I was playing at the time.
Prototype 2 is definitely easier on the normal setting than 1 but I am not sure that is a good thing. It also ramps u quicker but the game area seems smaller. Also, I kind of liked the random nonsensical orbs as collectables in 1 better since there were more of them and made me jump to crazy places.
All in all it was decent game that I would recommend people get when it gets cheap.
Tse second one was way
More amazing and the gameplay really has improved. I never really cared about the story and just had as much fun like the first one
