Omnibus. Page 3, article 6, subsection 2, reads: "Your character is an experiment, both a Government AND a shady "illuminati" style group will require access to your character, by any means necessary.

Yes.
You are the prototype.
We'll sail off to the sun.

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> This game looks awesome, I've always liked free world things, especially ones where you were obviously more powerful than everyone else and their lives were in your hands, you could be gracious and let them live, or commit genocide just for the hell of it. I'm disappointed though that they took co-op out though, that was my favorite part of Crackdown. Just going around and screwing around with my friend, like getting together all the cars that would come on a highway and pile them all up until no more came, then spawning explosive barrels, getting back, and blowing them all up. Or one of us would drive a car and the other would sit on the roof with and shoot out the tires of cars that we drove by. Good times!

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I think these guys are going to have to reexamine graphics for reasons everyone now knows....GTA just looks ridiculous for a game of this type. it really has raised the bar.

That said, the gameplay looks great and I remain optimistic about this title.

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> the video was... well, it was ok to show of the game but I really hope that that does not represent the final product.. it looks so blank... they need to add a lot of detail to make the game look good.. besides that it looked like the running animation didnt match up with his speed... still loks almost as bad as last time I saw it... :(

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I'm more interested in this game than GTA. I rather play as a mutant with super powers than a gangster.

darvos

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Gameplay does look good, but the graphics look PS2. I was thrilled for this one, but after seeing this video, I'm not any more.

DaPress

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I was iffy on this game as to how it was going to work, but maaaaan it looks fun from this video.

avern

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Wow. It was a bit underwhelming graphics wise, but the gameplay looks fuuuuun!!! :)

NimbusTLD

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Adaptive parkour?! No, that was running around and jumping off a car...and then floating up through some helicopter blades. If that counts as Parkour (it shouldn't) than Mario 64 (and many others) had Parkour modes we didn't know about.

As of right now, Prototype isn't impressing me. It looks like it has some halfway-interesting ideas, but overall it looks and feels rather stale.

The game looks maybe fun, I'll play a demo. But one thing I can*NOT* get over is the fact that the guy's appearance, in that hoodie outfit, is a straight rip of the evil prince vampire turned vampire-eater in Blade 2.

Yes, straight out of Blade 2... not sure how I feel about that.

Here's a shot with his hoodie down but with it up, it's a sale for sure:

HAHAHA

International Sex? you make it sound a bit James Bond but Sure, Why not?!

I'm totally Gay for that De Marco dude.

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I'll get it.

Eat people. check.
Crazy Battletoad-esq powers. check.
open world go at your own pace. check.

graphics, meh I dont mind them slacking so much if the gameplay makes up for it.

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Sega & hulk should be taking notes on the large array of animation that the prototype character does.

nerdBOY01

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I'm skeptical/iffy on watching hoody dude absorbing of other bodies. oh well, the game looks so cool, I'm along for the ride.

nerdBOY01

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> @Witzbold: Agreed. I especially like the shot of him skating on a human body. It sounds very....wet.

Bluecell

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I think it looks awesome. Excited by this game. Since im all about gameplay, graphics and story arint too important to me(although they are a plus and I dont see anything wrong with either in this game).

funckymonk

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I'm pretty excited about this one, I must say. I can also see this one turning into a horrible, horrible game. Like the spidermans ...

Anyways, they really need to lose the hood on the main character, give him hair like Dante ;)

der13manner

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Turning on my OMG switch!

nerdBOY01

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> with so much stuff going on, I'm not surprised about the character models.
and yeah, I also think infamous will be better but looking forward to trying both

pharcotix

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> @Flynn:

I know you are pumping out these stories but if you get a chance, can you expand on your comment about the character models in Prototype. I'm curious to know if the detail is at least equal to Crackdown as Crackdown is a heavily stylized game; It's hard to really tell anything from the video. How does this stand up to other sandbox type games visually like Saints Row, GTA4, etc...

okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under)

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> @Basscadet: Wait...wtf. Did I read that properly as a totally open invitation for international sex?

dabu

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Looks quite interesting. I'll probably get it if the demo (if there is one) impresses me.

captain_laxpants

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> @vanderblade:

No, you're right. That was a serious downer for me. It was such a large part of what made Crackdown so much fun. I can't see why it wouldn't be a priority focus for them.

.digiwalsh

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I am so getting this game.

Lets just hope they keep the level of "mess" it currently has the same and not try to water it down due to ratings or public outcry.

This totally looks like a great mind killer game.

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> The game seems interesting, but from these guys we have played this game before....it was called Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. It is a good game, a very good game for last-gen.

They have a few examples to draw from now, so here's hoping for the best!

KosherInfidel

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> @Ultrasinc: They should definitely sit at a roundtable with Rockstar for a lunch or something.

I am interested as someone else said - if this could spin in the way that Assassin's Creed (or Crackdown, though I haven't played the latter) it would definitely jump a notch or two for me.

Caduceus

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Does anyone else think the graphics aren't very impressive? The motions look incredibly fake and fighting doesn't look real and everything about it looks unnatural and artificial and unfinished. Hopefully they can make it a bit better cos it does look promising.

valleyshrew

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Looks very, very interesting. I like the idea of consuming characters abilities, and disguising yourself using them is really cool. Hope the story turns out well (unlike Crackdown).

el_rezzo

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I am so hyped for this. I cannot wait for this game. The gameplay videos look amazing and it's going to simply rock.

Thanks for article. You made my morning. Can't wait for Prototype!!!!

jonathan.

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> This game kind of reminds me of State of Emergency and how mindless you have to be to play that game.

Schoolimangooli's backpack turns into a ham sandwich!

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> These guys should team up with Rockstar for some knowledge blending. I wanna see this game work >_<

Come on, it's Sierra, it can't possibly end up sucking >_<

Ultrasinc

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I thought the developer recently announced there will be no multiplayer or co-op in the game. Am I thinking of another open-world game?

Anarchist_Gamer

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Seems cool but i hope they'll work on the looks before release.

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> @SofaKingHI:

Not sure, there's an information thread about it in the playstation forums but I havent really been looking

Sparx

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Hmmm, I was excited about this game, but after watching those clips something tells me that this game will turn out to be another Bullet Witch.

2SBs

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> @Sparx: Anything new been released bout infamous? I havent seen anything since it was announced.

SofaKingHI

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Anyone else think the storyline is a bitch cliche? You are a superhero, and there are zombies, and a government conspiracy somehow makes the army come after you. Oh well if it is a good game, i can over look that.

GrimaceXL

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I really liked the initial trailers for this game, but I'm still on the fence about it. It's a cool premise and after reading this article it seems to have some unique gameplay mechanics, but I'm just really worried about the final product.

I might give this a try, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye out on how the reviews are first.

Hauler

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> It looks ok, but in terms of sandbox super power games I think I'll put my money toward inFamous instead.

Sparx

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I'm very interested in this one, seeing as I loved both Crackdown and Assassin's Creed, and this seems to be another spin on that formula.

Oh and incidentally Flynn, it's also being released on the PC. Gotta keep my fanboy quotient up!

Dragonzigg

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> Also on PC as well as the consoles, BTW :)

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> The prospect of eating people to gain skills is like a delicious combination of The Matrix and Digital Devil Saga.

onidavin

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> i really didnt think this game was going to be that good, but now that i see the game footage it definitely looks like a keeper.

]]> <![CDATA[Prototype Impressions]]> I have serious doubts about Prototype.
