We were able to play inFamous and Prototype and we have the verdict of which game is better and will rock this summer! Which one will come out on top? Read below now!


In-Game Powers

Prototype:
You will be playing as Alex Mercer, who has the ability to absorb other beings and take on their appearance, memories and abilities. Even better than that, he can altar his form into a variety of flesh-carving, tank-smashing shapes such as razor sharp claws and powerful body armour.
Powers Score - 5/5

inFamous:
Cole McGrath has the power to manipulate electricity in a variety of exciting ways. He can do everything from projecting concentrated beams of electricity to throwing sticky balls of the stuff.
Powers Score - 4/5


Violence

Prototype:
Every screenshot you have seen would probably have blood and guts flying through the air. The best part is when absorbing others, you produce a bloody whirlwind of body parts.
Violence Score - 5/5

inFamous:
Frying a reaper and watch him do a thousand volt tap dance is as brutal as it get's unfortunately.
Violence Scoe - 3/5

In-Game Freedom

Prototype:
Mercer can run up the side of a building before leaping off and gliding back to earth. If you're not into that kind of thing, he can hijack helicopters and tanks too. The only real parts of New York that seem to be off limits are inside buildings.
Freedom Score - 4/5

inFamous:
Cole can stick to almost any surface. He can't quite crawl up the side of buildings but he makes the most of cracks and drainpipes. He can even use telephone wires as tightropes.
Freedom Score - 4/5


Morals

Prototype:
Mercer is simply out for revenge. Hurling tanks and snapping people in half doesn't affect gameplay at all so you may as well be as evill as possible.
Moral Score - 2/5

inFamous:
At certain points of the game Cole is forced to make a split-second decision that will divert him from a superhero into a villain. The karma system will provide an extra layer of death.
Moral Score - 4/5

Originality

Prototype:
Some of Mercer's powers are combined from some of the greatest games ever created. The most original part of the game though is the node system that unlocks the plot.
Originality Score - 2/5

inFamous:
inFamous will definetly cause deja vu. From Coles use of electricity based abilities to the plot and power altering karma system there's very little here that you won't have seen before.
Originality Score - 2/5

Overall Winner

Prototype - Just an excellent game with all the violence you could ever want in a game. inFamousis brilliant also but Prototype just snatches it.

The karma system will provide an extra layer of death.

That'll teach ya when karma comes back to bite you in the ass. What goes around comes around. :lol: I'm guessing they meant depth?

Yeah.. I was wondering that too...

Kind of disappointed after reading this, because I did notice that both games seemed to have a boatload of new ideas and I was wondering which one would be the better buy, so seeing the title of this thread got me excited that this was exactly what I was looking for.

However, this article didn't seem to have much substance at all and was kind of contradictory. In one category, they give points to the violence in the game (poor Jack Thompson), and in the very next category they take away points because morals aren't factored in.... wtf???

OK, so Prototype wins because it is the most Violent?

Ummm ... Review FAIL

And yes ... inFamous is OUT now and it is FANTASTIC

I don't know why but Prototype and InFamous reminds me of similar movie/tv show coincidentally come out at the same time


"Mission to Mars" and "Red Planet"

:iagree:

I guess I will post this here
http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/05/gamesfrontiers0520/

Violence/Gore is like Nudity/Sex. It will get initial attention but to keep it going it needs a good story/gameplay.

There is really only one reason that Prototype will "rule" and its cause its on PC, PS3 and the 360. But saying a game is better because it is more violent is a pretty lame reason. Manhunt must be AWESOME!

They both look pretty cool. I know infamous is good have it already. And I will probably decide on prototype once the reviews start coming in.

But the powers, I personally like the electrical effects. They look cool and you dont have to switch to a menu to use different powers. The prototype powers do look more varied from the gameply vids. Just pausing the game to switch them seems meh. We will see when is a demo supposed to be out?

Also the hoodie is played out already

I always notice this... and it annoys the shit out of me. But what can you do? People don't just want Nemo anymore, they want Nemo and all his fishy friends.

Yeah, one of the things I like about InFamous it's that it's not violent enough for me to play it only at night when everyone's asleep. This one I can play even when my kids are around.

And that's a big plus for me.

Is it me or was A. Void the same guy back in the day who was completely anti sony?

Cause I'm pretty sure a year or two ago he would never say something neutral let alone nice about a sony exclusive. Was it him or am I mistaken?

Between KZ2, inFamous and Resistance 2 ... The PS3 has gotten a lot of my time this year.
Those 3 and Left 4 Dead are the best exclusives I've played lately.

3:1 Sony, what more can I say?

Well said on both points!

Just started playing this but I love it.

The comic style cut scenes are definitely a plus

:D

If video game market is going to turn into like that I will be really sad.

I am more intrigued by Prototype... the (one) trailer I watched was awesome. I have nothing against inFamous, but to me, Prototype looked more interesting. Violence and gore go a longer way than some people think. :lol: Not saying its all I care about, but prototype just looked cooler to me. :hide:

I agree somewhat with prototype looking cooler on the vids I've seen the only thing about the appearance I don't like is the break in the action to switch to different "fighting modes?" I don't know what to call it.

But I also have to wait cause I've been fooled by cool looking youtube vids before. The need to release the demo soon

yeah I don't even know that much about the game... just saying it did look pretty cool and I might be the only one not jumping on the infamous bandwagon, but it felt kinda like crackdown without co-op, which would have made it more appealing to me.

2115 or 2155? can't remember.

you all know that its the game not the system Proto is on both systems well i wanna get both it and infamus but only have a 360 so Prototype is the game i will play :)

What a dumb review. Even breaking down those biased factors, Prototype gets an 18/25, and Infamous a 17/25. Oh Wow, That's a runaway winner we got there. And what makes it get the extra points? Violence? What a joke. Wait till real reviews of the game come out. I think Prototype will be fun, but it doesn't look like it has great depth, or a cool style or anything. It's basically Hulk Ultimate Destruction with some far-fetched story thrown in.

They've announced that Prototype will not be releasing a demo at all to any system. That sets off a few alarms for me. I'm going to watch and see first.

That's how I felt about InFamous after I watched the trailer! I obviously won't play it since I don't have a PS3 but to me it sounded and looked like a slightly beefed up Crackdown and I thought Crackdown was awful.

From what I've seen, Prototype looks like a lot of fun, but violence as a deciding factor? Really? What is this, 1993? I mean c'mon, that may have been an issue back when violence in gaming was fresh, but practically every game you buy these days is either disgustingly violent or for kids; there are very few in betweens. IMO, one of the only reasons MK was ever popular is just because of the blood. The graphics, movement, and gameplay is not that outstanding when compared to the other game of the time, SF2. In terms of polish, SF2 destroys MK. But yeah, you could rip someones virtual head off and then laugh in their stupid 14 year old face!
I DLed the demo of Wolverine expecting a terrible kid friendly type of game but was somewhat shocked by the amount of violence in the game. I certainly don't mind - I'm a big Wolvie fan and have virtually every issue of every series he's been in - but geez, talk about taking it to extremes.

It's less than a week away and there is still only 1 review I could find on metacritic for protoype.

I wanna get the game but I would really like about 5 decent reviews to make sure. Hopefully they start to roll in pretty soon.

yea..more violence/repetitive killing doesn't make a game better. Maybe the first time around (which is probably the time right before the review was writting) it feels better..but after a while you gotta look at the story and gameplay.

90 PSW Magazine UK
Still, you won't ever have played a sandbox game that creates so much carnage and offers so many ways to play.

Thats all there is on it. Not even a link to the actual review just that blub.

Doing some searching I found someone who had the mag and hit upon the highlights.


Cant get the scans till late Sat or Sun since im away from University and dnt have a scanner at home.

BUT i will give you guys all the key details from the Review, everything [within these square brackets is speculation on my part]:

"Prototype is incredibly rewarding to play"



The Story and Structure:

"The game's structure resembles other sandbox games, most notably GTA4 and Assassins Creed"

"THE STORY is actually impressively revealed and anchors the insane action into a cohesive whole"

""The big story is equally matched by a gargantuan gameplay"

"its a maze out there too, the mulitple plot-twists and shocking revelations will have you hooked"


The Side missions and minigames

"yellow icons for side-missions and for mini-games (there are 5 game types for the minigames)

1.Race- basic point to point races, [Radical Man confirmed Rooftop races too]

2.War, aligning yourself with either military or virus you need to kill the maximum no. of enemies with a time limit nets you more EP

3. Glide, Tall building and glide to a target, get closer and youre awarded more

4. Consume. [these seem different] you have to hunt one particular target down to reveal others on the map. [I.E you are looking for the prime target in a thread within the Web of Intrigue, it mentions you need to hunt one target in particular and consume them, not sure what it means by HUNT, whether its on you map when you start the minigame or you have to go to a district and use Alex's senses]

5. Kill. Use only military hardware, Ale abilities dont count. youll need to master the likes of the helicopter and tank to be able to play in some of the more furious shootouts....they all offer substantial rewards and can be done at any time (once youve unlocked/upgraded the relevant ability)[in reference to the minigames]"

The Web of Intrigue

"the web can be viewed at any time, to catch up on events and spur you to find that one shady individual who could open your eyes to the Prototype conspiracy"


Abilities and Upgrades

"With movement, Alex Mercer can develop his running and jumping with extra speed and distance respectively"

"As you hit hidden goals, you'll also be awarded with new moves, such as the ability to latch onto the side of buildings"

"infected vision helps find infected people that offer more health" [perhaps some infected civilians show no symptoms yet also rememebr that from the 'bosses trailer' that there are 14 (or more) strains of the virus.]

"Heat vision is handy later in the game when New York is burning, clouded in smoke"

"the blades feel clumsy at first as they slow Mercer slightly, but once upgraded you can deliver some hugely damaging combos"

"...when hammerfists are upgraded he can pull off more powerful elbow drops and launch himself like a slingshot"

"Muscle Mass boosts Alex's strength by spending EP- he'll be able to pick up larger objects [tanks?] with more force for greater splash damage"

"[Whipfist] when fully leveled, it can be used to grab enemies and pull them up to helicopters" [this is not a typo, these are the exact words from the review] there was also mention that you can pull Heli's down with the whipfist. UPDATE: "Mercer can fire tentacles to pull down helicopters" found this in a caption next to another picture, i already mentioned that people can be thrwon with the whipfist into a helicopter. [Sounds really cool!!! also there are some more great shots of really long-range tentacles flying towards helicopters]


Military and Upgrades

"consuming more relevant soldiers boosts your ability to use their vehicles, this goes for anything 'military' including machine guns and rocket launchers"

"As game progresses, the military begin developing new ways to detect Mercer from a crowd, first by using static units, then by using flying drones, detection units can be sabotauged with a quick time event"

"Patsy can be upgraded so it can be done at a distance... artillary strikes can also be upgraded to target hives and military bases, consume upgrades to stealth consume" [it really seems like EVERYTHING can be upgraded"


Fun, aren't games supposed to be about the fun, right?

"the sheer numbers against him and the continual development of enemies option and abilitiesalways ensures theres a threat"

"its the brutal, spiritual successor to Spiderman 2- only with more depth, freedom and variety"

"looking from the top of a building, you can see people and cars milling around, not in a pre-rendered way. I managed to target and track a poor soul, leap from my perch and stretch into a bullet shape, pile-driving into the same pedestrian id seen from high above"

[UPDATE]:"the lock-on Camera makes the carnage stress-free as it targets the biggest threat first then works its way back so you know who to groundspike first"

"Its great watching the city evolve too"

[UPDATE] "There is the option to input cheat codes, that will no doubt, unlock several new weird ways to play the game"

Decisions, Decisions

"blowing up an infected base rewards you with a stack of EP, but also makes the military more powerful. Destroying a military base helps the virus spread faster." [Sweet! but is it perminant?]

"the dilemma soon unfolds, do you destroy a the military base to aid a mission and earn a one off EP bonus BUT in doing so cut off your options to upgrade and inlock even more weapons and hardware" [i guess it is perminant, do some bases offer specefic hardware and weapons?"]

Final Say:
"it never gets boring or repetetive"

"Still you wont ever have played a sandbox game that creates so much carnage and offers so many ways to play"

"9/10 Final Verdict: Offers so many ways to play you'll be experimenting for months


I really triedlooking for negatives, but the reviewer wasn't gushing over the game or pointing out defects. it was more of a "if you like carnage and sandbox, then you'll love this", but i guess there are things that would put people off. and negativities are alluded to, but it was more of a i liked it, here are the main features that i feel are important to bring up and let the reader judge for themselves.

Nothing was mentioned technically, which is interesting ,except that theres a loads of onscreen enemies and exposions without a drop in the FPS.

Negatives:

"It would have been easy for Prototype to drift into a simplistic button-mashing adventure if plot and atmosphere wasn't kept in check" (so it definetly has a button-mashing aspect to it that was saved by a great story, giving the impression that its more of a pick up and play than a mastering combos kinda game, God of War is never described as a button masher and neither is Tekken, so there might not be that much depth in combat (obviously not as much as Tekken or God of War but still i may be reading too much into such a simple statement. lets hope Radical Man was right when he said the combo list is huge

He mentioned Resident Evil (the first game, not the movie, not the ones after, the first) and how it was similar in the way it hooked you. thismay be a plus for some or a negative for others. i think its a good comparison in terms of structure, but i hope the story-telling and script is better than anything Resident Evil often offers. i see this comparison as a negative. Also says in a caption "the cutscenes are quality and remind of Resident Evil" i think he's referring to what was good in Resident Evil, though some probably dont like the style and it maybe cliche for some

"Swiping contextual free-running from Assassins Creed" i think this is a negative because many said the novelty of free-running wore off when it was just holding the right trigger and forward the whole time and its the same with Prototype! Great thing though is that the reviewer mentioned that acrobatics and combat can be combined, now if you could fight while parkouring in Assassins Creed, everyone would have shut-up and still be playing that game today!

It seems that to use anything that we're shown in the trailers like stealth consume or hijack or artillary strike a base instead of an area, it needs to be upgraded. i always felt these abilities were normally available. however with the upgrade system, it does let you deeply sutomise Alex to be really stealthy or destructive or a parkour expert. However this can be a negative as people might be playing half the game without being able to hijack or glide

"the blade feels clumsy at first" i get the feeling that most abilities need to upgraded to be useful in anyway, though it did say abilities were always fun, no mention of favourites, but the claws are described as a do-it-all weapon of choice. this is another negative as id feel tempted to upgrade just the claws and the tentacle to max and just abuse those two powers. im not like that when i play, but when playing a game like Fable you can just focus on upgrading your strengnth and make the rest of the game easy and boring.

the minigames were described as a regular assortment theyd expect to find, nothing fresh or exciting. especially considering the games War and Kill are really similar. and Glide and Races also seem quite similar, while Consume could just be a mention to the web of intrigue instead of a mini-game on its own.

Quick time events for the detection units is a negative for me at least. they are usually annoying obscure the action. i dont mind mashing Y or triangle to rip open a tank hatch, but QTEs are getting old, hope it isnt that long.

"The action is easy and playful" sounds kinda simplistic and well, easy. but i dont have any worries, if the game is too easy theres always insane mode to make up for it.


He also added this


THE PROTOTYPE/INFAMOUS DEBATE:

This reviewer is the only guy who has fully played both games FULLY (perhaps the only person in the world?!) so yes, he is the only capable person who can discuss both games at once. heres what he says:
...but Prototype and inFamous are very different titles. Sony's game is a slower blast and aims to combine traditional platforminginto a sandbox world while Prototype nabs its set-up from Assassins Creed and then ups the scale to Apocalypticproportions. Co-op would have been a nice touch and there will be a familiarity with New York among Spiderman fans. Still youu wont ever have played a sandbogame that creates so much carnageand offers so many ways to play.

(i think inFamous has other virtues as well, but you cant talk too much about another unreleased game when youre already reviewing one.)

So there you have it, Prototype has more in common with other games than inFamous, both are awesome. PS3 guys can play inFamous and MGS4 but 360 guys get to play Mass Effect and Gears of War, and thats cool...AS LONG AS WE ALL GET TO PLAY PROTOTYPE!!! BOOOOYAAAA!


OK DONE, ill skim over the review again to see if i missed anything. Take the review with a grain of salt though at it was the exlusive issue review and the reviewer didnt mention anything bad about the game, more like just saying how great it was without going too much into details, just the stuff we know from trailers and interviews that usually gets people excited, elbow-drop, consuming, devastators etc

There are some cool pics but most are the ones that were already uploaded on gamespot. the other pics are action shots with debris and tendrils and smoke, so nothing we havent seen before.

oh and small spoiler in the mag..........[mild spoiler]

"The military's commander isn't all he seems" (though the pic that was captioned was The Specialist and not the Military Commander(Gen.Randall for the Blackwatch to those that have read the comic, not sure about the reg. military) and im not sure who the reviewer is reffering to, but we could guess that the Specialist isnt all that he seems, i hope they develop his character well.

[Mild Spoiler about first boss fight, you have been warned!]

Damn new work filter.. Now I can't look at the games section of Metacritic. I can go to all the other sections (movies, dvd, tv etc.) but not games... fark

Try using google and looking up the name of the game you want to look at + the word metacritic.

If it comes back w/a result, hit "cached" and there's a decent chance it will pull up for you. Might look a little off since it's cached on google, but at least you'll be able to read it.

You can also try Game Rankings, which is the closest alternative to Metacritic: http://www.gamerankings.com/ps3/942350-prototype/index.html

I wonder how long is prototype and infamous

if the guide is any kind of indicator then it should be pretty long.. it was bigger than the guide for GTA IV

Why the hell aren't there any reviews (except that PSW one) for Prototype yet? Isn't the game out today? This doesn't make any sense.

Gamepro review is out
http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/210743/prototype/

I'll be getting infamous and my friend prototype for PC, so I'll just take his.

i think this game is playable from a sadistic point of view

and i got to choose between PC/ PS3...? umm... i think i will wait a few days for some flame discussing the 'best' version.

Finally some reviews on metacritic. It's pretty high so far at an 87 (edit: for the 360 version, PS3 one currently has 93), but mostly from places I never heard of.

The most respectable being IGN who gave it a 75: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/992/992950p1.html

IGN's review is very frank and should be well taken.

Wow, IGN was pretty harsh. Presentation 6.5/10? Graphics 5.5/10? Lasting appeal 6.5/10?

I trust IGN and I trust GamePro, who gave it 4.5/5, but why are their scores so different?

1Up gave Prototype a B-, which sounds worse when metacritic wites it as a 67: http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3174734&p=37

Infamous>Prototype so far

Basically why didn't they just name Prototype... " Venom goes nuts "

The antagonist is too much Venom-esque to me

After playing more of Prototype, I have to hand it to Prototype, atm.

inFAMOUS is really good, but Prototype is more fun and the locomotive adaptive parkour is seamless.

Just read it and I agree. :bounce: Man, I didn't expect to like Prototype this much. I still find the graphics in inFAMOUS A LOT better, but Prototype has more going on (50-100's pedestrians on screen at times, cops, infected, military, vehicles packing the street). And it all runs so well.

Would you guys that played both say that the games still deserve to be compared to one another? I mean, I understand that they're both open-world and feature one protagonist, but I feel that's where much of the similarities end. If the games weren't released near one another, I really don't think we'd see them being compared as heavily as they are now.

Playing with a Venom rip-off on steroids is so much fun.......:lmao:

I'm waiting for Spidey to make a cameo
