Update: New mission walkthrough trailer with developer commentary added below, too. Tis a good one.
Boasting “disgustingly deadly confrontations”, the latest video from GameTrailers previewing Prototype doesn’t contain any new facts, but it does make this colossally fun-looking game seem even more enticing. Explaining who lead character Alex Mercer is, we learn some hints about how he came to possess his gruesome abilities, and then screens and screens of brutal violence. It’s a fun time. I’d watch it if I were you. Since I’m me, and I did.

What happend to the graphics compared to the early shots?.It looks PS2.
Looks great, can’t wait to play, but I’ll admit I’m a bit worried about the helicopter and stealth parts. I’m REALLY hoping it doesn’t come with crappy controls/game play. Such a small part could potentially ruin the game if it comes up enough times.
So do plot and gameplay. *shudders*
Rule of Cool my ass.
ICO was on the PS2, gents.
I’m really enjoying the sudden appearance of rose-tinted glasses on everyone. The original XBox and the PS2 could do some neat stuff, and there were a lot of very good looking games on them, but come on.
+1 for the “I drive tanks, son.” moment in the first vid.
+1 for looking like an upgrade of Crackdown.
+1 for turning into Albert Bumshandy out of Resi5.
Nice.
Post Maker: graphics ain’t the most important thing. Nintendo know this…
i dont care that the graphics look a bit dated as long as it they keep the requirements down, if they ask me for GTA4 grade hardware then screw them
Just a reminder to people – Kieron did play this back at NYCC, and wanted to steal the demo booth.

And also confirms that it’s basically Hulk:UD2. No mention of terrible graphics or boring gameplay though, which is sure to dissapoint those apparently grumpy people who don’t want nice things.
£35 or 59,99€ on Steam. Thats what I call a deal!
Only that it isn’t. Seriusly, WTF? Most expensive game on Steam ever.
The publisher is Activision. They’re TERRIBLE about digital distribution. They were trying to sell Call of Duty 4 for £40 on Steam when most retail places were selling the boxed version for £25 or less.
It’s probably best to get it off Play.com or equivalent.
My Steam displays the unlock date as the 13th.
Wot??
Funky Badger:
It’s more that people are saying it looks like an original Xbox/ PS2 title, which isn’t really all that correct. The average “graphics level” (if such a thing can be measured) on those two was lower than this game, which is to say that this game does not look like a title that would appear on those two consoles.
Looking back, perhaps my post was too poorly written!
My Steam also displays a price tag of £35, higher than any retail. What a surprise.
Should i get this for PC or 360? I usually dislike analog control scheme of 360, but some games are definitely better with a controller.
Or maybe I can get for PC and hookup my 360 controller…oh the choices.
The dpad on the 360 is terrible, my 8 decade old megadrive controller has a better dpad, so does a £3 no name pc controller i got. Why the dpad is a mess is anyones guess, i think they messed it up avoiding current patents.
@cm empire total war used to be £40 on steam
THIS LOOKS FUN WAAAAAAA
