I quite enjoyed the first Prototype game — there was barely any structure to the game, but it served as a decent enough playground. The star of the show was really the upgradeable powers, and the overwhelming feeling ‘I AM A MEGA GOD’ feeling that came with those powers. I haven’t had the time to play Prototype 2 yet, but I’m really keen to hear what you guys thought so far…
Owen really liked Prototype 2‘s James Heller. I can see why.
Because Prototype 2 is out this week, artists involved in the game are now able to share their work. One of those is Venezuelan César Rizo, who did a lot of environment pieces for the game.
There is no gameplay in this Prototype 2 trailer, which went out late Friday. But there is some rather badarse live action, explaining the back story of protagonist James Heller. He is burning alive with the Blacklight virus — and his desire for revenge upon Alex Mercer.
If you were a video game reporter in New York, you’d know who the Hip Hop Gamer is. He’s the guy who walks around with a WWE Championship belt — except, he makes his interviewees wear the belt while he’s talking to them. (Hey, I’ve done it! I’ve just declined his offers to rap with him!)
You know what sold me on the original Prototype? Protagonist Alex Mercer leaping onto a helicopter and punching his way inside. I’m sure Prototype 2′s James Heller is a compelling new hero, but what about the whirlybirds? Ah yes, here they are.
Downloadable content. Everyone hates it — but everyone buys it. Yes, even you in the comments, smart guy. Here’s a look at the latest package of extensions and pre-order bonuses designed to crowbar the last dollar out of your wallet. Can you still respect yourself if you buy it?
Take a guess at what has been done to Prototype 2′s PC beta…
