All of the talk about Wolverine made me want to play a superhero game so I started playing again. My favorite thing to do is grab someone, jump into the the are, and repeatedly slam them into the ground. What do you like to do?
>>745926514OH SHIT you know that exploit? did you know that you can suplex a body repeatedly, too? the NPC dies only after it fully settles on the ground - you have 1-2 seconds to grab and use them
>>745926514I remember just enjoying the mobility and jumping off buildings being really fun.
When I was a zoomlet playing this game I would always roleplay as a Captain America type super soldier by disguising as a basic army grunt and only doing punch and kick moves on enemies, occasionally grabbing weapons of my fallen comrades. I would march into those red infected zones and do my absolute best to not harm any fleeing civilians or army, just tearing apart the zombies and hunters. I did this for hours.
>>745926860Yeah, I wonder what else you could rp as... A yuppie like Patrick Bateman that's lost it?
>>745926657It's not an intended feature? I thought it was. >>745926848That's true. >>745926860It's fun. I can't help but jump around with a rocket launcher when it comes to hunters though. There is even a side mission dedicated to it. >>745927060A scientist.
>>745926657If you're lucky you can even snag a web of intrigue target that got died in the crossfire and still eat them
Is the sequel good?
>>745930415It has some decent improvements on the gameplay but the story throws out anything that the first part set up in favor of UGH ANGRY BLACK GUY HATES COMPUTER AND LOOKS FOR DAUGHTER because they replaced the writers with some capeshit comic guys.
>>745930415No. It fucks up a lot of things. Completely guts the move sets and everything about the various powers. Completely shits on the vibe Blackwatch had. And just utterly fails with Heller and Alex.
>the moral of the story of the first game is that the inhuman Blacklight virus was a more moral and empathetic human being than the man he thought himself to be>despite seeing the most depraved acts of humanity through the assimilation of the world's most degenerate mad scientists and wetworks soldiers, the Blacklight virus heroically risks its own continuing existence to save the innocents in Manhattan from getting nuked>in a supplemental comic book to the games, the Blacklight virus stays for a few days with some random woman>she betrays and robs the Blacklight virus>this event convinces the Blacklight virus that humanity is irredeemable and billions must diecharacter assassination
>>745931172It is genuinely one of the worst character shifts I've ever seen for a sequel of something. It is baffling. I wish the creators spoke at all about that. I want to know what the fuck got them to think this was a good idea. Or if the whole writing team got kicked out and replaced between games.
It's shocking how much of this game is a straight copypaste of Ultimate Destruction. It's not a bad thing but holy shit they're almost the same game.
>>745926514Best way to play Prototype in 2026?
>>745931734You're kinda fucked. It got updated recently which broke all the patches that made the PC version work and the non-patched version is broken.
>>745926514Loved these games, my only disappointment came from not being able to keep the form of the citizen you consumed while using your claws and shit
>>745931734ps3
>>745926514I am....*woosh*Prototype.That was sick.
>Still no Prototype 3 with PARIAH as the mcPitiful
>>745931868No it didn't, I played it back in May and it's as easy to play as ever thanks to the fox patch.
>>745931653It really feels like Radical just made a Venom game and swapped out some OCs instead of asking Marvel for the license.
>>745931734I'm playing on 360.>>745933010I find that the "this OC is very clearly an offbrand version of this famous character" thing to be very endearing. You'd be surprised how many characters are like that. Also iirc they were making a spiderman game at one point but it got canceled.
>>745933010Prototype was built out of the skeleton of the proposed Hulk Ultimate Destruction 2 that got canned early on. It would make sense that when they were refused the license for a 3rd Hulk title, they just went "well who else is cool? let's do that" and made their own off brand Venom game.
>>745926514I don't know if you can do this on the console versions, but hitting the back and jump key at the same time on the PC port while running/climbing/wallrunning will let you do a sick-ass flip.
>>745926514I remember playing this on kb&m fucked up my left pinky from pressing the sprint button
>>745934341You can double tap the forward key which is W to sprint forward you idiot, they tell you rigght in the tutorial for noobs like you now your pinky is broken
>>745930415NO, GOD NO
>>745926514Do I still need to apply any fixes on the PC version?
>>745932840fox patch?
>>745926514Prototype is so fun. I wonder why it didn't sold so well.
>>745934617It sold well enough to get a sequel and even seemed to be up there with Infamous. The sequel just sucked so much shit that I imagine it all crumbled because of it.
>>745934617>>745935081Studio dissolved
>>745934617Prototype sold well, it just got absolutely fucked by activision. When Prototype 1 was in development Radical was a pretty huge studio by 2000's standards. then their owner and publisher Vivendi died and was acquired by Activision. Activision rolled in, fired like 400 people, reduced them to a rump of what they were, forced them to shit out Prototype 2 in a less than optimal state and then when it under performed they forced them into the mines being a support studio for Destiny. Then in 2013 or so due to not paying debts or some shit, the Canadian government stepped in and forcibly dissolved the Canadian side of Radical. By the time Microsoft bought Activision, Radical was 6 guys in a basement office and nobody's really heard from them since. The american company still technically exists, but who the fuck knows what they've been up to since 2023.
God, another Hulk game would be too KINO.
>>745934523kekthis is what I meant:https://www.nexusmods.com/prototype/mods/52
>>745926514>climb skyscrapers and dive into crowds >whip onto helicoptersMostly used the armour and blade powers for most shit since it looked cool.
>>745931172It is what it is. I just pretend there was only one prototype game.>>745930415nyo
>>745934617Iirc Activision set borderline impossible numbers for the sequel
