Prototype action is fun but it's AI feels like a programming error.

hmmm
They tried to fix it in 2 but its still let's you get away with a lot unless you're around black watch specifically. Either way both games are a ton of fun.
Just keep thinking Alex can somehow telepathically alter humans minds so they can't see his actions.
GOD DAMN I WANT THE POWERS FROM PROTOTYPE
I WANT TO ABSORB PEOPLE THAT I HATE AND TAKE OVER THEIR LIVES
I WANT TO RUN SUPER FAST VERTICALLY AND GLIDE THROUGH THE AIR ALL WHILE SHAPESHIFTING MY ARMS
I WANT TO CREATE A KERATIN SHIELD AND BASH ALL OF THE SLOW FUCKS OUT OF MY WAY ON THE SIDE WALK
PLEASE GOD JUST GIVE THEM TO MEEEEEEEER
>black watch
Hehe i get it
I already like you buddy.
wanting to be a bioweapon of godlike powers
A game like this would've been great with a karma system. But it would be too much like Infamous if it did that
Mercer did nothing wrong
I want to eat people and take their minds for me so I can use that biomass and create one big underground seed like blob, that will be the core of the hivemind. We will make our own Utopia in the deep of our minds.
We will save the other people, letting them be assimilated.
That's a terrible idea, half the fun is killing everything you see
he was in the sequel
I only played 2. It was actually worse in 1? The AI in 2 seemed really stupid, with a tiny vision cone that you could reduce even further. You were all but invincible like halfway through the game at most.
>First game's story was kind of generic at some points, but had a lot of interesting stuff
>All got tossed out for a story that made no sense in 2
Nice.
>KERATIN
Did you mean carapace or chitinous?
I'll just leave it here.
I hated that both this and Assassin's Creed had some douche running around doing parkour in a white hood. At least change the fucking color of the hood.
AI in 1 is dumber but parkour flow movement is much better in 2009 title.
Making Virus Mercer a villain was shitty writing
fuck niggers
Now imagine the same game with everyone shooting at you at all time because you get spotted as soon as you jump higher than 50cm
I would Just let the goverment study me to cure cáncer desu they would likely pay me some good cash for it too
you legally aren't human any more so they would probably kill you.
KEK so true
P1 has better movement mechanics, better warzones and is more challenging even on normal difficulty.
Should've used IN THE END, because whatever you did in either game, IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER once you're done.
And why the fuck would they kill me even im perfectly willing to cooperate with them?
Wathever if the is goverment is so retarded i would use my powert to go to china and real with them instead
>Cringe
Thanks I am hollow now.
It would be epic.

KUST JILL NE

What the FUCK went wrong?
Prototype: Russia Edition.
Was all that shit made of keratin? I don't even remember.
They tried to fix what was not broken and they ruined it.
Thats just stalker but you play as a snork
>Prototype 3 has you play as a Chinese delinquent girl in Hong Kong
>Think Sleeping Dogs but with tentacles.
Why has there been so many Prototype threads in the past week?
It was that bad?, aside from story, what the sequel did wrong?
I was interested in getting both titles because i liked Web Of Shadow.
Probably because it turns 10 years old next month
youtu.be
I love this game.
The Web Of Intrigue was such a cool storytelling mechanic. I wish someone else would use it.
Everyone talks about it because of its 10th anniversary.
Where does the time go?
Dude! last time I saw this vid 10 years ago. Thanks for reminding.
YOU SUICIDAL MORON
How do I get this game to work on Windows 10? I've wanted to play it since it came out but I never bought it when I had an Xbox or PS3 and it doesn't work for me on PC.
>ywn karate kick a helicopter for the first time ever again
But, but it works pretty well on my W10 user with any fixes.
Something about multithreading IIRC, disable it.
Also, get SpecialK to make it louder.
What was your favorite ability, Yea Forums? Mine was the whipfist.
I miss the age of God Hand edits.
Are we talking about P1 or 2 ? Because 1 works well on W10 but 2 won't
Jumping from the top of a building and slamming down on some fools with the giant axe thing
Motherfucking Claws, Protoype 1 claws are unironically vidya kino.
>running slash
>fast attacks
>first power you get
>eventually unlockable groundspikes
>spikes become bigger and bigger as you upgrade them culminating in building sized groundspikes
>GS graveyard
Why did Prototype never get the attention it deserved, Yea Forums?
Mine was also the whipfist.
>best aerial damage
>best area damage (sweeping attack is OP against normalfags)
>can pick up normalfags & monsters from far away to consume them
>can also steal helicopters with it, making it so disabling firing squads is easier
>can also steal tanks with it
But the whipfist was the best in the second game, since it got buffed to hell.
Mine is*
Every game before GTA4/AC1 had shitty AI when it came to simulating civilians.
Both games were extremely popular in their time but Activision killed the devs because they had unrealistic expectations of the franchise hitting CoD numbers.
GS graveyard was so fucking cool.
It was extremely innovative for it's time, so I don't know a 100%. The only thing making it "weak" was the story, since the gameplay was the big selling point. Then there are brainlet game journalists going around saying
>muh controlz ar shitto, mi no undahstand
It doesn't take much brain to master the controls, but then again, game journalists gonna game journalist.
Claws turned me into a Venom-Wolverine hybrid but the whip is fantastic as well.
I never really had a problem with controls, personally. Running around New York as a walking apocalyptic virus was one of my favorite things about the game. The parkour was insanely fun.
Musclemass. I loved uppercutting people in half and throwing dumpsters with the power of an ICBM.
Turning Alex into a mustache-twirling villain was dumb as fuck.
Musclemass and armor is the patrician's choice
>chad Alex Mercer
vs
>virgin James Heller
It could also be that the average New Yorker is just that braindead
Nah. I like both games for different reasons. Infamous allows me to be a moralfag while Prototype allows me to literally body surf people.
Nah dude. The game is a spiritual successor to the great Hulk game done by the same guys. The soul of the game is to let you cut loose and be just a complete destructive asshole who kills and smashes your way to fun.
They're deliberately ignoring Mercer until he becomes hostile and they're forced to respond
No one in their right mind would be the aggressor against a nigh unstoppable The Thing tier mass murderer.
They made the red zone small as fuck. Whats up with the burning hell zone over there?
>disguise myself as a civilian/soldier and go around doing superhuman parkour and shit
>soldier goes “fucking New York!”
>Muh mob family is shit
>Well, that means humanity itself is shit. Time to kill everyone
Agreed on both points. Someone said that the Prototype games were the best Spider-Man games we got in a while, and a karma/morality system would have really sold a sort of 'great power, great responsibility' theme to it.
You have the power to literally body surf people and kill everything in sight, but narratively that doesn't make much sense, does it? Mercer is more human than the humans around him and was a monster trying to be a hero, and Heller was a family man that's trying to save people and stop Blackwatch from experimenting on the innocent. What part of that includes 'unthinkingly eat and murder everything in sight?'
I do think a karma system would benefit the game - just as a player choice or game mode, fyi.
Hey man, no highly trained agent wants to get his ass beat by an old lady in a polkadot dress.
Damn I don't remember Alex's voice being so goofy
>Chinese delinquent girl
Why a girl though? Because tentacles?
i didnt realize it at the time but that is some baaaaaad vo
Tentacles. Shit made me feel like a monstrous Spider-Man summoning punch-webs from the punch-dimension..
Too bad every ability became completely useless endgame which was just sword/bazooka spam.
>tentacles
>Tendrils, ffs.
So you want Sleeping Dogs but Wei Shen has Merer's powers
Regardless of it's a dude or a qt girl, I'd buy the fuck out of it.
Why can't we have more fun open world games like Prototype and inFamous nowadays?
Not that I'm complacent, but what's up with all the Prototype threads recently.?
Nah I'm not opposed to the idea of it being a girl, I was just wondering why you envisioned a girl. Tb h I'm not that into Sleeping Dogs anyhow. Good game but it just doesn't gel with me.
Just for a change. And because it's my fetish. And because IT'S 2019.
They're needed. They're better than the smashfag and the mordhaufag threads we see everyday. Also that Mahjong shit.
10th anniversary’s coming up soon.
FFXIV threads are also fucking everywhere.
>kill Cole
>make a shitty new protagonist
We could've played as the fucking beast! I don't know why they made the good karma ending canon, Sucker Punch was ready to make Infamous 3.
Good god I always wondered what that meme was about. Can't believe CDB went from that to voicing Noir and 2099. Good range, he'd make for a good Spider-Carnage voice. ...Which I now realize is a good approximation for what Prototype is. A Spider-Carnage game.
If anyone asks, pic related is by Dexter Onions. Spider-Man redesign, not Spider-carnage, but fuck if it isn't good.
Kind of hilarious in hindsight for everyone peeved that they kept Cole dead, since Second Son seemed to just fade into the ether without much fanfare. Good looking game, but not as good as 2. Great soundtrack though.
>chopping the map up into 3 tiny pieces
>getting rid of tiny details that really added up to reinforce the feeling of being an unstoppable agent of destruction and made the first game so soulful, like non-rudimentary Red Crow/Blackwatch/USMC radio chatter, thick smoke from fires that can be seen from almost halfway across the map, which I've never seen since or before expect in Arma 2/3 mods, and a lot of other stuff
>shitty, truly abhorrent writing that started back in the comic and completely destroyed Mercer's promising character and made him into a cardboard cutout villain and turned Blackwatch from black ops special forces that are willing to sacrifice the (relatively) few to save the world into Gentek's personal Gestapo (also FUCK their redesign, they looked like actual special forces in P1 and used basically unchanged military vehicles but were made to look like generic superhero villains in ridiculous outfits with tanks and APCs outfitted with a bunch of unnecessary shit and a made up AH-64-lookalike for attack helicopter)
The only good things to come out of this are tendrils and Whitelight canisters.

[PROTOTYPE] remaster when
Literally, unironically never ever.
Make it a remake and then we'll talk chief. If Battlefront can get one- wait, no. Who knows what they'll do to ruin it then. I shudder to think what they'd do to Dana, or Heller's wife.
Activision is too busy with phones to give us nice things.
but I don't like that
Neither do I. Neither do I, user.
Dont be mean user the game is fun
Tuck me in
Let me die
It's like when you play Hitman or Fallout New Vegas when you take others clothes and autistically act like that role
Is not there a remaster for PS4/Xbox One already?
prototype 2 was probably one of the best games I've played considering the raw amount of fun I had with it. It was ghetto as fuck and dumb, but I liked it a lot, I wish they made a new one
>We're closer to 2040 than 1990

That's a port, user.

>alex picks up speed and starts bumping into cars
>they start flying off
i fucking love the first P
AND FUCK NIGGERS
he wasnt
my head canon is the virus went to explore the world, and somehow a body of original mercer got split up and gained independence, and thats whos in 2
because otherwise it makes zero fucking sense
Faith in humanity restored.
And he didn't say "fuck" even once, while Heller is like a petulant child that just learned the word.

tought i was the only one
The Juggernauts in P2 were awesome, but you fight like three total over the course of the game. I would have loved to have like eight of them in Manhattan wandering around that were increasingly strong. They did the whole RPG stick so might as well use it.
Final fight versus mercer had some fun ideas but like everything else in P2 the story had zero thought put into it. The part where Important Soldier A literally shoots one of his own in the head was so unbelievable.
I never played the second one, is there an equivalent to the bio-armor Alex has in Prototype 1? It was fucking great
Well, at least for the juggernauts you can face them again in the challenges. Sucks that you can't redo the dossier missions though.
The lack of a real armor was a real bummer,
i loved jumping from the ground ,
transforming midair and landing on a car (they even cut a LOT of detail on how cars get damaged)
i couldn't tell even if i wanted because the pc port is just so fucking bad
America has more human biomass.
no, you only have a shitty skin that replace your sounds ...yes basically a kid with hulk toy fists
do the pc versions run well on windows 10? this thread is getting me a bit nostalgic
I really liked the progression in this game. Going from the start with just one or two small abilities to summoning demon tentacles from the ground and whipping between helicopters was so satisfying.
10/10 pure kino
hammerfist, there's just something about climbing up a building and then elbow dropping on a tank so hard it does two flips midair onto the next block.
The best thing about the hammerfist is undeniably the People's Elbow.
It works fine for me but for safety I play it in winxp sp3 compatibility mode.
>go where theres a zombie base and help the tanks and all the soldiers while doing all these cool moves to impress them
one thing I like about the first one was that they went out of their way to sell the fact that mercer's got the mass of way more than one person in him, the way he craters the ground if he falls even just a few feet, the way you can see him burning off mass for propulsion while you're gliding, and what said.
2 is a clusterfuck trash-heap compared to 1.
still unmatched in the capeshit-action genre
Don't you find it weird when Yea Forums has constant threads about games you played a decade ago then you go "fuck i'm gonna buy it" and you buy it and you love it just as much as back then while also spending half as much money
if you've got the time, this video covers pretty much everything aside from Blackwatch being completely neutered

if you equip armor and musclemass, jumping next to civilians makes them explode

He's such a bland character too

The plot is so cheesy you might aswell have made a tv series of it and the shit would have gotten ratings out of the roof
>that one user who talked about how the devs originally wanted to make a Venom game, but Activision didn't want that, so they remade it into Prototype
I will be eternally butthurt over this.

No there isn't
I hate that 2 turned Blackwatch into a bunch of dumb hillbillies that were just evil for the sake of it. Compared to 1 where they were all top of the line badasses.
if you pick up a blackwatch soldier in the first game he says, "You better fucking kill me."
pick up a soldier in 2 he cries and pisses his pants
I picked this game up because of a recent Yea Forums thread and boy, some of these in-game ads are weird and outdated.

How did they get away with this?
And What you didn't like the most?
Because devs are too focused on realism and microtransactions instead of fun.
Why bother when you can just make some reskins and release Assassins Acreed 17?
It was a different time.
Raimi wrote part of the script, he pulled some strings
Does can speak English any write?
SHOCKERRRRRRRRRR YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME I'LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
The Prototype/Infamous shitposting wars were something else.
Made my day.
time to reinstall I guess
>ywn play [PROTOTYPE 'inFAMOUS'], a game protagonized by both Alex Mercer and Cole MacGrath
How would you guys have changed Prototype 2 if you had the chance? Personally, I’d just start with not making Alex the villain or at the very least giving him more justification for his villainy.
Just imagine
>e3 2019
>they announce both prototype AND infamous REboot
Yes.
>Alex absorbs Cole
>Electric Whip
That'd be the day. Infamous 1 was great but Infamous 2 is one of the best sequels in vidya history. I'd want that redone as well. Fuck Prototype 2 though
kek
>I WANT TO ABSORB PEOPLE THAT I HATE AND TAKE OVER THEIR LIVES
jelly as fuck
The concept arts for this game are absolutely fantastic
It's odd to know that he also wrote Infamous 2.
>I should have known it was you, John. You were the Beast that ruined this country. But now after I absorb your powers, I will free this world from the tyranny of the untermenchen
The first one has better movement, combos, and story.
The second one has better enemies,a better dodge mechanic, but everything else blows. In the first game you actually get light and heavy attacks as well as more super moves
2 had way better enemies. Even tho the combat was worse it was more fun because of them
>they removed the light and heavy attacks
Fucking why? That shit was great.
If you have any, especially in high res, do post'em, I don't have much.
what?
i can't play the first one on PC but 2 works just fine.
and it's not even a bad game, it's just not as good as one
You mean they use the machine from Infamous 2 to give Alex Cole's electric powers and Cole is infected by the virus and gains Alex's powers
Because that would require creativity, user.
Sure.
Based
man, rest in peace actiontrip
not seen their stuff on this site before
this thread made me pirate the game, I remember playing it on ps3 on release
>can't go higher than 1280X800

it can be fixed ,goole it up
Idk man but you could mix them with each power minus the whip iirc for some cool assmoves
I'd fuck the one on the right.
Stop posting, Starnes.
I will once command sends me to a hot zone with one of those cuties.
What?
???
just edit the registry.
How would you guys make Prototype 3?
Here's what I would do:
>after Heller absorbed Mercer, Mercer's mind began to emerge in Heller. They now exist as a hybrid entity. A featureless, human-shaped biomass.
>Heller represents safety, Mercer represents freedom. Defend an operation to cleanse an area, that's a Heller action. Stop the operation because innocent, uninfected civilians are in the area, that's a Mercer action.
>depending on who you act like, that character's features will become more prominent. It will also influence the powers available to you. Heller's powers are blunt and straightforward (since he's a soldier), while Mercer's powers are stealthy and tactical (since he's a scientist)
>more vehicles available to you, including airplanes and cars (not needed, but unnecessary destruction is half the fun)
>multiple disguise slots, so you can save your favorites (probably unlocked by being a Mercer player)
>more disguise types. It's suspicious if you're black watch in a zone where there's no special operations, or a a marine in a black watch base
>more detailed web of intrigue. Absorbing a VIP also lets you know areas he/she frequents and interesting facts about the person. You can also investigate a PoI by infiltrating a police station (for civilians) or a military base and gathering documents on the person's address or patrol routes
>if you play purely violently, helping nobody, Elizabeth Greene's personality can emerge (since Alex absorbed her). Her powers revolve around infecting others and controlling monsters. No disguises in this route, and you will be recognized immediately, since she doesn't even try to blend in.
>an ending for each character.
>Heller ending: Blackwatch gains power. Less infections, more civilians abuse.
>Mercer ending: basically opposite of Heller
>Elizabeth ending: world is in constant war between against infection
I got this
actually sounds kind of based, it just ruins the fun of being able to randomly go on a masive GTA style murder spree just cus you can if you want heller or mercer powers
same
>hayato
That actually sounds awesome.
Why can't you play the PC version of the first one?
OP here
>expecting only one post with "have sex" comment before the thread removal
>It actually reaches over 200 replies with comfy vibe
Damn. Thx anons.
>tfw always stopped by after a mission assassinating some Blackwatch general and helped Blackwatch troops fend off the monsters
>tfw you were the super badass commander going fisticuffs against big naked molerats that can slice up tanks
They need something about actually doing that as part of the game, if not a whole new game with the MC helping them.
If Prototype 2 came to the switch
That's an instant buy
Sometimes, very rarely, Yea Forums can actually be cool sometimes.
quit stealing my filenames you viral mutant anonymous
Prototype actually spawned my love of grunge punk fashion and I dress like that well into my 20's
Why aren't edgy games like this still popular
I'll always be mad about what they did to Alex. The virus becoming a good being was such an interesting concept, I'll never understand why they wasted it.
well well well. i used to be a hell of an protoype guy. like those two games alot. first found out about it while visiting friend. then insta bought it for 360. there's probably more than 100 hours played. and that's pretty good for some random kill em all openworld game
I had the exact same idea. Nice bro.
The fact that the virus actually turned out to be a better person who cared more about his sister than the original was actually a great twist.
It helped that traveling and doing parkour over the world was actually pretty fun. Reminded me a lot of the PS2 Spider-Man game in that regard.
It makes sense on a Darwinism level. All the ones too hardcore for their own good are dead, part of the Evolved, or are in Alex's biomass stew. The remaining survivors would be the particularly stupid cowards who think they have a chance to survive by just hiding and running, which just prolongs the inevitable.
This actually sounds good pretty cool. I like it.
Yeah - you just need the resolution/fps fix.
t. playing it right now
I love this so fucking much.
Please, somebody fund it.
bump
Man, that's so fucking kino concept.
The control setup in this game is so good. Super intuitive.
I swear, Flips are the most autistic Asians.
Never played these games, so are they fun? Which is better?
It felt bad when you couldn't save soldiers from the molosses
Would Alex and Kirby get along?
Grab P1 user.
It's actually on sale on humble bundle.
Does that version include the fixed dll (for the fps issue)?
>find and eat blackwatch soldier

fuuuuck this game was so much fun. Hands down the best “superhero” genre has to offer
Imagine the power
Digital Extremes based the Nidus Warframe's design from Alex Mercer's Armor ability, plus some of its abilities like absorbing enemies becoming stronger and stronger, infecting, tentacles and ground spikes.
Oh damn. Didn’t know.
Only played the first one. Gameplay is fun as shit. One of the few open world type of games that makes being an asshole and just killing everybody really fun because you have so many powers.
Alex Mercer would fit in Kirby and Metroid games
>buy it on pc after playing it on 360 years ago
>thermal vision is a pain to select just like in that version
just like i remember
>Samus vs. Mercer
Shit man, I want it now.
Almost a decade and the sequel still depresses me
Is 2 REALLY that bad? It’s dissap that parkour is gone and it’s far less challenging but I still had a gay old time. I liked how in 2 you kind of start helping civilians in the early levels with the church
Sounds dope user.
Alex Mercer in Smash when?
Prototype getting the Bayonetta treatment would be without exaggeration the greatest thing ever
The game should compliment movement in the city using vehicles and such.
Kinda like a GTA game mixed with Prototype
A cool thing in Prototype 2, some of the army guys in the base will actually talk about how they "Didn't come here to shoot monsters and kill people. I came here to HELP people." Sucks that the game just lets you kill everyone indiscriminately.

STOP TEASING FUCKING MULTIPLAYER AND JUST DO IT
Fucking nice
I wonder how would Alex Mercer perform in Marvel/DC universe
Unless vaporized or somehow frozen before he can act or Flash'd because of his super bullshit speed powers that actually should be able to beat literally anyone and everything because he can go back in time and a comic page stated he can move at like a billion times faster than light, Alex would probably fight them for a moment then go eat them. He is a giant pile of flesh eating virus.
I didn't give a fuck about the sequel when I heard they turned the guyver armor into dlc. It isn't even a mode, just a skin.
Replaying Prototype 1. What the fuck was his problem Yea Forums?
bump
I forgot. Mercer did nothing wrong
P1 is the best action-free roam open world game ever made
P2 is poop don't play it
He ate a ton of people, though.
They still exist. I don't know what hes talking about. You could use two powers at once, holding down the button used the heavy attack. This combined with the much improved block/counter ability made combat a lot more fun in 2. Being able to seamlessly use multiple powers was a lot more fun.
the only thing multiple powers did in 2 was let you get to the end of your combo faster
combat in 2 is boring as shit because they removed 75% of your moveset
>try best to save people
>accidentally kill them instead
This game simulated how horrible it'd be for conscionable people to have OP powers like this.
This is why I loved the games despite the shitting writing and AI. It was a great form of escapism/stress relief
Shooting your claws into the ground and having them burst up as giant tendrils.
Goddamn them for removing it in 2
He was generic military dude with a grappeling hook who somehow gave a fucking Resident Evil-tier superpowerful being a run for its money
GODDAMNIT JUST MAKE THE 3RD GAME
I remember when the first game came out Yahtzee complained about the morality system as he tried to play as a pure moral fag but still ended up killing hundreds of civilians by accident
Prototype 1 was a blast but after a while I felt like the police AI developed artificial means to combat me
I was young and it's quite some years ago so I might be wrong, anyone agree?
Glad I skipped on 2, when I saw the trailer I knew playing through this formula once was way more than enough
>combat a lot more fun in 2
>evolved
Did we play the same game or did you play it at all?
No.
He was a better antithesis to Mercer than Heller but got pissed because he knew what was coming in the sequel. I forget, didn't he have a teeny tiny bit of super soldier serum in him? He was ridiculously durable for a totally vanilla human otherwise.
Same deal with the ARC militia in DE.
You hear stuff like "I did not join ARC looking for violence!" and their speech in combat has lots of melancholy in it
I never kill them any more after hearing how sad their shit is, plus they live in a concentration camp they have it bad enough already
He's supposedly the final boss of prototype 1 disguised. How and why is up for debate. Also was theorized to be Pariah but not proven.
Prototype is the best power fantasy game ever made. The sequel is one of the biggest disappointments in gaming with that absolutely awful protagonist who doesn't stop cursing and literally professes his ignorance as if he was a 40 year old boomer who doesn't even know how to right click his mouse. Completely ruins any sort of immersion and makes the chaos so unfun pretty fast. It's a real shame since I love what they tried to do with Manhattan's pure red zone.
This is Dana. She is Alex's sister and he loves her very much.

What a nerd.
>final boss
no that's gay and for people that didn't pay attention, SH regenerated after Alex stepped in him, then fucked off to eat Cross and disguise as him
>tfw no qt punk sister that puts up with you being the final stage of human evolution and disappears from the plot 3/4ths through the game
>reeked of corporate meddling
>No armor form
>Dumb Protagonist
>even dumber justification for Mercer to go evil after all the shit he went through and did
Alex didn't love her. The virus loves her. I remember her saying she hasn't seen him in years when they live in the same fucking city.
>Don't remove a shit ton of powers and little details prototype 1 had in a sequel
>Heller is still the protagonist as justification for having no powers at first
>Mercer infects him to save his life or some dumb shit
>Chase Mercer around because misunderstanding
>final boss is some other guy who released the virus again
>Load up prototype on my old xbox
>Last save was made in 2011
Good times bro, good times...
This was the post I wanted to put in, this game was an adaptation on incredible destruction. Even running around as bruce banner as an end game unlock
what's the cheapest product i can sell you at the highest price? rhetorical but that's what they do
New powers ideas for never-gonna-happen Prototype 3:
>Energy cannon arm visually similar to Vash's angel gun from Trigun. Takes a long period to charge up so you don't spam it too much
>bio-landmines
>Being able to morph/merge with objects
>Bat wings for flight but you can't use most of your powers during it, maybe claws and that's it
>Rocket fist (see pic)
Keep playing as Alex.
Don't remove any of the powers from the first
Make Manhattan normal/accessible so you can just have fun fucking around with it without it just being boring zombies
>SH regenerated after Alex stepped in him, then fucked off to eat Cross and disguise as him
Wait just a fucking second. I completed Prototype like 3 times in 2011 and never fucking saw this. Source?
the game originally had military get on your shit way more frequently but the devs realized being punished for using your cool movement powers was fucking dumb and removed it
>Energy cannon arm visually similar to Vash's angel gun from Trigun. Takes a long period to charge up so you don't spam it too much
>game's motif and aesthetic centered around bioweapons and repurposed tissue
>DUDE HE NEEDS LAZER BEAMS
>An M1 abrams doesn't have an autoloader and needs several crewmembers to function
>When you break into a crewed one you probably absorb the crew inside then become some sort of tentacle monster to work the tank
I only like the cannon one and the wings, except it launches bloody biomass instead and it runs off of how many people you consume, and is upgradeable to the post of where it consumes minimal or no biomass. The wings shouldn’t be actual wings, but should incorporate his jacket making theme seem like wings and have evolving flight levels eventually giving Mercer the ability to be a pterodactyl.
>Uprgading speed enough gives you a cheetah-like mutation where alex’s legs slight change to imitate one
>musclemass can get denser and more buff indicating more power
>Bring back tendrils from 2
>Super attack being able to super combust destroying everything in the area and forming back up from the resulting destruction and gore majin buu style
Yeah, after you beat SH and Alex grabs Dana and skedaddles he steps in a pile of goo, and then after he leaves a big ol' hand pops out. Also if I'm remembering right, during the cutscene where Cross is getting ready to beat some walker ass, you hear SH noises and the perspective shifts to where whatever you're viewing the scene through would be pretty tall compared to Cross- IE Supreme Hunter height. I haven't played it in years, so details on that second one might be exaggerated, but there's definitely a hand that emerges from SH's remains.
What is the Critical Pain Devestator for 1000 EP, Alex?
Jesus fuck. I really need to replay this game.
I want a worthy remaster, but it's Activision, they probably would fuck up performance even worse and charge 80 bucks for the fucking thing.
I dunno, man. Walking around New York, you just don't notice stuff like that. I saw a guy come from some unknown height above some construction scaffolding the other day. I just looked up because I heard something and this dude was already in the air from 3 stories. He landed, made eye contact with me, and we just went about our day. As far as I can tell no one else even saw it, and there were at least 20-30 people in the area.
Patricians
a firehose of blood shooting out of your hands at ludicrous pressure
"laser beams" out of nowhere is retarded
instead of laser beams it could be a water jet cutter of blood
This sounds pretty great, user. Best parts of Prototype and Infamous
>somehow gave a fucking Resident Evil-tier superpowerful being a run for its money
Why are you surprised? Those things get their ass handed to them by a boulder smashing roid rager
Same thing with the Apache.
As I was writing that post, it reminded me that it's basically Chris vs. Wesker, except your Wesker.
>Shin Godzilla-tier beam spam but instead of beams it's fucking high pressure blood
Did he died?
You're onto something
Wesker even looks like he has the same tentacle arms that Mercer has.
Deepest lore
Prototype x Resident Evil when?
Alex would've been better as a Dr. Manhattan type of character in the sequel if we're being honest
Wait a second
DMC5's aesthetic did have a few things reminding me of Prototype, mostly the organic tentacles sticking to buildings and a bit of orange bloat on some of the monsters.
>DMC is the real spiritual successor to Prototype
Guys, where is this rabbit hole going?
>Prototype 3, featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series
Fund it.
is Alex Mercer the most Japanese a western protagonist can be?
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR
>The Empire State turns into a biomass version of the Temen-Ni-Gru
>Alex finally has to seek out Pariah at the top of the tower
>post yfw the party gets crazy
they were dead anyway
>average battle shonen fight
...
fucking metal is what it is
>Nothing can protect you from me, CHRIS! Not guns. not muscles, not partners!
Japan seems to love Prototype, hilariously enough. There’s a decent amount of fanart for it on Pixiv.
he's all I want, man
I'd believe it, but it would be a GoT-style asspull if it was canon, to be fair
still the king
How would a full on character action game with Mercer be like? It'd be tits if done well.
He'd win.
hair and nails.
You skin also contains keratin
>borrowed it from a friend, my shitty fucked up 360 scratched the hell out of the disk
>he got so pissed he stopped talking to me
>a few years later he died in afghanistan
Feels bad.
Copying this from a previous Prototype thread:
>Neutral B: Spinning Blade (can be charged)
>Up B: Hammer-fist upercut. If pressed a second time while in the air, you dive and smash the floor
>Side B: Slams the claws into the ground and spikes come out. The more you charge it, the farther you can hit
>Down B: He puts on the armor and becomes heavier, but way slower.
>Grab : Grappeling hook with the whip
>Final Smash: The thing where there is an explosion of tendrils everywhere
That sounds amazing. So naturally nothing of the sort will ever happen.
Ouch. Sorry to hear that, user.
>transform into a soldier
>kick and punch infected to dust while fighting with other soldiers
I like to imagine they'd comment on the fucking awesome no-name soldier that helped them
later on in the day.
I see no flaws
NINTENDO
>I met Zeus at the supermarket once

>The random little "Scratching the ground" animation actually does damage
WHY THE FUCK HAS THERE NOT BEEN ANY KIND OF CROSSOVER WITH THESE TWO
FUCK'S SAKE IT SELLS ITSELF
there he is, the best frame
>That mission in 2 where you're escorting soldiers while disguised as one
>If you pick up a helicopter's weapon, they comment on how you can lift it and Heller goes, "I, uh, eat a lot of protein"
>disguise self as commander
>somersault over soldiers
>they just keep staring and saluting
Have sex
>run around and do some crazy parkour shit while disguised in the first game
>soldier notices and just goes “fucking New York.”
I’d like to think that they just stopped giving a fuck.
You first.
horse hooves are also made of keratin, if that clears it up any better
fuck off this is a comfy Prototype thread
>be disguised as civilian
>go to busy street
>hold down armor button and watch "civilian" transform into something like The Thing
Gods I was autistic then
>then
You're in a Prototype thread, buddy.
i would just steal the body of a hot girl and be her tbqh
Alright this thread's convinced me, I'm reinstalling Prototype
>No more games like Infamous or Prototype
>Most games have moved away from their styles completely in favor of boring stuff that's just a worse experience.
>The one mission where you help a group of soldiers draw out Elizabeth Greene and the soldiers keep going through alternating orders to attack you or stand down and let you help them
Prototype is the pinnacle of meaningless seventh-gen open-world tripe, holy shit. I'm glad it's gone.
He'd be the sole protector of New York simply by virtue of everyone trying to avert Prototype 2 from ever happening.
Fag.
Compared to open world games now? Fuck that, give me more Prototype, maybe Saints Row 1 and 2 while you're at it.
Yes fuck that game im off to play Days gone or RDR2
this desu
>>Still nobody recognises you as the wanted infected terrorist until you harm someone with your superpowers.
did you miss vital lore point? he is everybody and nobody at once. he takes all shapes, can be anyone he consumed.
ridiculously overpowered protagonists are out of fashion these days, would want that too.
Im going to reinstall the first one. Is the second one really that bad? Never played it before.
Well I'd guess he'd be like Carnage on Meth in the marvel universe
He'd be a heavy threat in the DC universe until an event starts and every hero starts ripping time and space apart without moving a muscle and he gets his shit pushed in.
But he does this batshit crazy stuff right in front of people and they don't react unless someone gets hurt. That's what he's talking about.
>if you play purely violently, helping nobody, Elizabeth Greene's personality can emerge (since Alex absorbed her). Her powers revolve around infecting others and controlling monsters. No disguises in this route, and you will be recognized immediately, since she doesn't even try to blend in.
>you don't blend in because Elizabeth is wearing that weird suit that looks like a fetish suit
>A/V glitches appear in order to simulate all the crazy shit going on inside Greene's mind
I always took it as them not wanting to get involved with the guy who literally eats people and is a nigh-invulnerable superpowered being of mass destruction. Maybe they’re hoping he ignores them and doesn’t just eat them.
If only I didn't lose that time in alcohol and weed rip
That sounds like trash
This, but unironically.
Used to go to the bridge checkpoint, fight the infected and kick their shit in, good fucking fun.
If someone comes tearing through the air and slams into the ground right in front of you, you ARE going to react, no matter how much you may try not to.
bump
>Can't have tightly made open worlds with pockets anymore, only empty as fuck dioramas with nothing to do, barely any atmosphere, travel feels like a chore instead of a enjoyable piece of the game.
I hope none of you forgot that Infamous 1 turns 10 years old in 3 days.
Muscle Mass + Armor
Just go around football tackling cars and tanks.
Holy shit, already? Where the fuck does the time go?
Assuming no one uses bullshit space-time altering artifacts like the Infinity Gauntlet and whatever its DC counterpart is, he'd be either unstoppable if he doesn't get super powers by consuming the superheroes or the single most powerful being in the universe if he does. I mean, if he can fully regenerate from a single burned piece of meat following a nuclear blast, he can probably also regenerate from a single cell. Not to mention he can just infect shit everywhere he goes until the virtually invincible (for a universe where Gentek and other sentient instances of Blacklight don't exist, that is) infection does the dirty work for him.
He hated Runners and thought Mercer was a male Runner, which made him think of Mercer as a rare trophy.
I'm still surprised Activision didn't milk the first game. A DLC as this guy would be slightly interesting, if not for the watered down powers then for some short backstory and to explain how the Supreme Hunter managed to eat him. Would make for a great boss fight.
Perspective shifts from infected POV in the scene where the General fucks off to the USS Reagan.
However since all cutscenes are actually done within the game, it could be assumed to be any infected POV, also it shows that Cross was already infected since his glowing aura is much brighter compared to the Blackwatch soldiers around him.
youtu.be
They re-released it for the PS4, it's okay. I don't know if it's actually a remaster or not though.
Niggers
So how many times do you think mercer absorbed someone then immediately regretted it because of all the memories of the gross fetishes they had?
>Alex has to deal with the fact that he now technically shares the same fetishes as footfags and furries
That's actually pretty horrifying to think about, not as much if you assume he only absorbs memories, but if he can experience emotions and other aspects of his victims then he's so alien to the human mind that he might as well be a plant. It would definitely break someone's mind to have all those personalities inside, so he probably absorbs memories and throws the rest in the trash.
He definitely absorbed a few bad apples and probably gets a chubby when he sees the female infected.
That's pretty funny, my girlfriend got me popeyes a couple days ago and it absolutely tore up my insides. I don't know how people can eat that fucking shit, had to tell her never again.
Thanks for reminding to finish prototype.
>tfw never beat elizabeth greene
Did you ever notice the piano chords every time Adrenaline Surge gets triggered? It only seems to happen on that fight.
>tfw beating Elizabeth on hard difficulty
>mfw it made consuming her even more satisfying
Are the PS4 versions bug infested messes or perform any worse than OG versions?
Might pick one up again, not even sure if I have the ps3 version anymore
Prototype had better crossdressing than Breath of the Wild
Direct ports of the games, so don't expect anything pretty. Prototype 2 has bad framerate like the PS3 from my experience. Prototype 1 is solid as ever.
it's fine if you're just in it for punching and eating people
Is it weird if I like the FPS dropping slowdown when things get hectic?
Like in a way you cause so much carnage the game itself has to process what the fuck did you just do
Using devastators which tentacle fuck every living thing around you causes a bit of slowdown, that's fine.
But if we're just standing around doing absolutely nothing on a busy street in the green zone with 15-20 fps, then there's a problem.
Yeah, that really is a bad thing.
Making framerate my bitch in Ratchet and Clank 3 was one of my favourite things, but in HD collection the sewers just fucking lagged for no reason.
That sucked the fun out of doing it, and it'll suck it out of Prototype too if that's the case.
I'll just get 360 version from local FUCKING GAMESTOP instead then
Congrats op for making this thread.
It seems to be a problem primarily in Prototype 2 which is god-awful either way.
I wouldn't worry about Prototype 1, since I've been spamming Thermobaric tank rockets at every pile of cars and infected while watching everything ragdoll to the stratosphere with no complications nor a single framerate dip.
do you think he got off to eating her?
>best girl only appears in one mission
it hurts bros
NINTENDO
There's an event/side mission, it's a thermobaric tank rampage or something, you can enter the tank to initiate the mission and quit the mission through the menu, you get a free respawnable thermo tank in free roam.
Just add eyes and put one on every street corner and bridge and the infection would be gone, why Blackwatch never used those fuckers on Elizabeth Green's bullshit I'll never know.
Thanks bro.
>tfw no more godhand edits
>just endless wojaks and smashposting
karma system is retarded
the whole point of the game was the virus absorbed good people's memories and their conscience and it made him a good boi.
you mean Saints Row 4?
He's basically Venom Plasticman I guess
or Green Lantern powered by flesh
Don't forget that it was a game with shit graphics yet managed to have attractive females and good looking males, for the time.
>protype is dead
>lost planet is dead
>dead rising is dead
>dead space is dead
Well guess i know what i'll be doing next year
Killing the people responsible for killing those IPs?
this series need a reboot
preferably in a sci fi setting with flying cars and colossal structures. New york is alright but when you scale the entire fucking skyscrapers in one jump the playground feels way to small for you
who owns the rights anyway?
Activision most likely, since they shut the dev studio.
oh so its fucked then
