Sierra unveils Prototype, not the first sandbox adventure

Intriguing. They'd best not flub it.

A sandbox game set in new york, just what we needed!

true crime: new york, spiderman 2, spiderman 3, driver:pl, GTA 3 and GTA 4 just don't seem to be filling that "new york based sandbox game" in the action/adventure genre

Unveils? I got a gaming magazine with a full preview a month or two ago.

Crackdown....Is one of those games that is great for a rental but really is not something you want to play a lot, getting all the achievements is long and tedious, I could get pro street racer but is so boring.

I need like 23 or 25 achievements of crackdown but damn I rather play Pursuit Force, funny how a Portable game is better than a console game. I still have it I bought it in a heartbeat for the halo 3 beta without it I would probably waited for the reviews instead, is not bad but it could’ve been better.

Sandbox games suffer from something that makes them fun for about 2 hours but then it gets awfully repetitive, maybe is for the lack of a good story to follow. Other than Dead Rising which I don’t know if is counted in the genera I haven’t encounter with a great sandbox type of game

In Dead rising if it wasn’t for the achievements you would probably finish the game once or twice and then get rid of it but the achievement somehow help the game, really If it wasn’t for the achievements I would never tried saving 53/54 survivors and believe me it was frustrating but it was a lot of fun also Frank the pimp was freaking rad.
I only need 3 achievements of Dead Rising BTW man I love that game.

Well back on topic if they are going for something like Crackdown If they put vehicles I hope the game really use them and not only for stunts that get old fast and achievements that only force you to use these lousy vehicles when jumping and running is way more fun and please Boss fights people and a Good story,kthnx.

bleh, this developer does nothing but straight up rip other games off.

Doesn't sound all too exciting right now...but we'll see.

Looks generic

Um....Prototype like Crackdown?

Flattering, but didn't anyone notice how much Crackdown lifted from Hulk:UD? These are the guys that made Hulk.

isn't a sandbox adventure game basically an RPG?

It bothers me that in the early previews they seem to be pushing using the hero to kill innocent people. If this is a true sandbox then that will be an option, not a necessity, but I don't think that option should be promoted at this time in gaming, although I heartily support it being allowed as evil acts, like good acts, are necessary for a true sandbox game. No matter what, I'm intrigued to see what else you can do in "Prototype."
