See first gameplay videos of Prototype

ok negative nancy

I agree. The bland graphics and bordering on horrible, and the environments are Superman 64 exciting. I hope they clean it up because it could have some good multiplayer, or not.

I don't know about dull, but repetitive I can believe. For some reason i'm getting a Spiderman 2 and Hulk Ultimate Destruction vibe. Besides the fact that they both used sandbox style gameplay, the character animations and attack "combos" look very similar to Spidey 2 while the massive damage to the environment is suspiciously Hulk like.

It just feels too familiar.

regardless of all the above it looks really fun. Hopefully coop comes through seeing how reports of it being DLC.

Agreed. It doesn't look good at all.

i thought it looked damn good, if you want to talk about a game feeling too familiar maybe we should look at GTA 4....

Well, let's hope this isn't the whole game. I mean, it might look dull and repetitive because they are only showing the same 4 city blocks over and over. Perhaps there is a larger game world to play in.

Anyway, I thought it looked pretty cool. The adaptive parkour stuff looked pretty slick. Might be something I pick up - have to see/hear a little more about it first.

However, Barry Pepper FTW!

Seems to me they often don't polish the games textures up earlier in the production cycle. I would bet that when the game gets closer to release they will push the textures to see how far they can get while keeping the smooth animations.

*digging through PS2 library*
You're absolutely right. I thought Sierra did a really good job with that game so even if Prototype uses the Hulk engine with better visuals(hopefully) this could make for a really fun ride.

Btw, if you haven't tried Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, I highly recommend it. It's fairly old now so you should be able to find it pretty cheap.

Reason for it: Because its awesome.

(Oh, and this game also clearly follows this trope: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CursedWithAwesome )

Actually, that was a real game that got scrapped.

On a sidenote, God I loved Grandmas Boy!

Please tell me you are joking right? Grandma's boy inspired no one sir. (It was good for a chuckle though)

Anyway, the developers are definitely taking that Hulk Ultimate Destruction game play to the next level which is a good thing. (you should check that game out on back-compat if you haven't already)

So have most of the commentors only started reading video game news today? I thought a layman would have a basic understanding that textures, graphics, and colors are the last things to be polished in a game. (Any actual developers feel free to correct me) The release date for the game is October 30. Which means they have another 5-6 months to work on the game!

Why would graphics be polished at this point! It just drives me crazy what people choose to focus on. The whole point of the video was to show off the game play. If you don't like the game play, fine. But at least comment on that.
