I just played lil bit of the game in a cafe..i liked it.

I liked the previous game but it was kinda repetitive after sometime. I hope this game rectifies that.

In Prototype
The city structure were too cramped
In the beginning the combat skills kept me playing but after while(the water tank destruction level...to be specific) combat turned very repetitive and frustrating so i just gave up.
Although story was quite a thrill to explore...the memory revealing system was useless..shouldnt have been there .

All and all prototype 1 was ok game.

But with Prototype 2 this time it seems they are back with something bigger and wilder.
I mean you hardly get to have a game or movie or books for that reason...which features a new protagonist even when the old one is still there and more importantly when the protagonist from earlier titles turns into villain .(from the beginning itself i knew Alex Mercer will see this day!!!!!..else why would he be running on streets ,slashing mindlessly innocent people.!!!! )

As for now BRAWLERS seems to be the most interesting addition to game although in looks they are very similar to Burnouts of Bulletstorm.

I played first game. I wish Prototype 2 will feature different themes with day night cycle, in first game i feel bored of same look all over the game.

Looking forward to it.

Its kinda remind of the Aliens(Series) Tail

Here, not only do you get that freedom but you get the choice by being intrinsically uber-powerful. In other games, you extrinsically grab something – a weapon or a vehicle – that makes you feel powerful and awesome. In Prototype 2, everything is in you with your various powers – and I think that’s pretty cool.

Looks cool ..Hope it turns out to be good

Wow awesome. I game looks good and its gory.

For anyone who’s ever played the original Prototype, you’ll be pleased to know that the name of the game in the sequel is refinement.Every aspect relating to accessibility and gameplay control has received a massive overhaul.Various pointy appendages can be quickly mapped to face buttons.Locking on to enemies and attacking/avoiding has been simplified.And environment traversal is smooth and sleek.In Prototype 2, after you perform a grab it’s all so clear. Do you want to throw them? Consume them? Tear them apart? Whatever it is you can just do it.The scale is much bigger than the first game so there’s some stuff in there that will really surprise you.It’s the ultimate power fantasy.No other game lets you uppercut a helicopter!Among the new features, is the Pack Leader ability, which lets Heller call down two Brawlers and command them to attack whomever he wants. You can use this as a distraction, too, drawing enemy awareness away from you. Once you’re done with the Brawlers, you can explode them into a gooey mess that detonates across a wide swath of the environment.

I recommend all to see demo gameplay video.

Wow the game looks really great good graphics to

part 1 was repetitive..I hope part 2 won't disappoint us...

Sure it wont! :doublethumb:

The team at developer Radical Entertainment working on Prototype 2 says that they have high hopes for new protagonist Sargent James Heller and are trying to make sure that he never comes off as morally empty as Alex Mercer from the first game in the series.Prototype 2 launched on April 24 in the United States and on April 26 in Europe on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, with a PC version set to arrive in late July.

So who is protagonist and who is antagonist ??

James Heller=Protagonist
Alex Mercer=Antagonist(Spoiler Alert:Alex Mercer (aka the protagonist of the original Prototype)

James Heller, a soldier who returns home from his tour of duty to find New York City in ruins and his family dead, all because of some hopped-up mutant freak named Alex Mercer

More info about Prototype 2 Story:*www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/prototype-2-hands-on-preview/

Damn I thought Alex would be protagonist. I would have loved to see him as protagonist.

^^yeah i though same :-D

but i think main antagonist should be someone other than these two.

In simple words nobody. We are going to see that virus took over Alex and then James would also be infected so that makes him antagonist too and blackwatch soldiers are already antagonists so this makes the story kinda void. As you discovered secrets of Alex in first game and now you gonna do the same with James. Whats the difference and where does the story leads. Simply nowhere.

There hasn't been another game I have so badly waited for!!! I have played [Prototype] and have thoroughly enjoyed every frame of it. I love this game and am a huge fan. I love the Black Watch soldiers and think there aren't any better designed soldier than the black watch in any game. I think I will buy the original this time. Please tell me a good graphics card (also its price) because I want to enjoy this game as much as possible. I am currently on a ATi Radeon HD4350 1GB DDR2 with a 4 GB.

Guys! Alex Mercer skin announced for Prototype 2, unlockable bonus for RADNET Edition owners

Prototype 2 may shift the focus away from the original game’s protagonist to new hero James Heller, but developer Radical Entertainment recently announced that Alex Mercer fans will be able to play as their favourite shape-shifter in the upcoming open-world game.

To unlock the Alex Mercer skin you’ll first need to secure the Prototype 2 RADNET Edition. A limited number of these are available at launch so pre-ordering the game is essential if you want to ensure you get a copy of Prototype 2 containing a single-use DLC code that grants you access to 55 pieces of extra content over a seven-week period.

Once you’ve redeemed this code you’ll then need to download weekly RADNET content in order to construct the Alex Mercer skin piece by piece.

Then what would be the seen. Alex mercer fighting alex mercer. Lol

Prototype 2 released for x-box 360 and ps3 cant wait for PC version to come :twisted:

Its released on 24 april already. Also reviews are not great. Just an average good game.

^The reviews for Prototype was not good too. Everyone played only because of its cool powers.

I saw a Prototype 2 PS2 media last tuesday here in kolkata. I was wondering if the PC version was released too. Has it not released yet?

Nope! its scheduled to be released on 24th July this year

Prototype's rating were mostly 8+. Now for prototype 2 I expected better results and it turned out to be lesser.

There was nothing in first game that attracts me for second playthrough.

Well the powers were awesome for sure but they get repetitive after some time.

Prototype 2

The sequel to Radical Entertainment's best-selling open-world action game
of 2009, PROTOTYPE 2 takes the unsurpassed carnage of the original
PROTOTYPE and continues the experience of becoming the ultimate
shape-shifting weapon. You are Sgt James Heller, husband to a deceased wife
and child and a soldier left simply to die

As the games all-new infected protagonist, players will experience Sgt
James Heller cutting a bloody swathe through the wastelands of post-viral
New York Zero. Equipped with unparalleled new shape shifting powers, players
will gradually build a vast genetic arsenal of deadly new biological
weapons and abilities as they hunt, kill and consume their way toward the
ultimate goal - to kill.. Alex..Mercer Are you ready to murder your maker

In the 1st level , after a somewhat gory prologue video and then Alex Mercer coming up at the very beggining. Although people are complaining away that the game is a very bad console port , it looks good enough for a few hours of play to me ...

Prototype 2 launched!!

anyone tried yet?

Flipkart still shows it as "Coming soon"! And its priced @2499/-

I was initially thinking of buying it but ...

Every game is getting pricier.

2499 is just too much. I don't think that this game is worth that price.

gameranand said:

Yes gameplay is same as Prototype 1 only Polished and added graphics!!

Dont think flipkart is going to stock it as rage is also in coming soon list from months and still not released

Ooho didn't realize there was a Prototype 2 thread here , made one yesterday

The game is good , even for non-Prototype fans, but certainly not worth 2.5k.

So James Heller Wins In the end i never had any doubt about ending bcoz mercer is over controlled by the virus like(Wesker) in RE5 and Heller had to save his daughter and end Blacklight virus once and for all!!

Heller is the just the enhanced version of Mercer. Its like Surfer fighting against the Galactus.

Prototype 2 Review:---
Presentation====*img.cheathappens.com/cf6.jpg
The draw distance is disappointing, animations seem dated and there's just not that much interesting visually here. Well, some of the “camp zones” are pretty cool looking.

Gameplay======*img.cheathappens.com/cf7.jpg
Prototype 2 easily takes the title of most fluid open-world adventure from Infamous 2 and pun completely intended -- flies away with it. It's a huge amount of fun to run, jump, wall crawl and glide around the city as Heller.

Lasting Appeal==*img.cheathappens.com/cf7.jpg
Much like any real world action game, there's plenty to do in Prototype 2, the only question is whether you're going to want to take the time to find all of them.

Overall========*img.cheathappens.com/cf7.jpg
Prototype 2 is a decent and fun action game, but that fun is also fleeting, and Heller and cast show their hand, and wear out their welcome long before the game's credits roll.

Thanks for the mini review.

I expected the graphics would be as good as PS3 before installing.
Is anybody can tell me how to turn this game to directx11 ?

For me, this game blows at multiple layers

If you didn't liked Prototype, chances are that you won't like this game either. There is nothing in the game that will make you stick with it.

Then again, It's just me. May be this game isn't my plate of papad.

One of my favourite missions is [Blacknet mission 12] Operation: Clockwork where u have 2:-

Go to the base to consume the New Templar scientists
Ascend to maximum altitude to kill scientists

kinda remind of Assassins creed Templars :lol:

scientists beg for mercy :lol:

and in last Heller says:

So long F*****ers

Repetitive dude damn fcking repetitive.Now if you like that then i dont have to say anything.

Prototype 2

Repetitive gameplay comparing with part 1. I so much hoped to play with Mercer but having fun with Heller too. This time powers are awesome. I'm kinda addicted to the game now. Playing day and night. Boss fights are not satisfying though.

Like the tendril power and the bio-bomb thing.

Are you guys completing all the side missions?

Just copy the folder to "My Documents"

No Prototype 3 I guess,

On June 28, 2012, Activision announced that despite the "substantial investment", the game "did not find a broad commercial audience", and as a result, developer Radical would encounter layoffs and the studio would be "reduced" to a supporting role towards other Activision projects.

it is an alright game but not much is new from prototype. and it gets a little repetitive and story is not that interesting too.

D

it is a really nice game

Finished the game but progress is still showing 76% !!!

I've completed all blacknet missions
All collectibles in all zones

Only my blade power is left to be upgraded one step and whipfist two steps. Is that the reason of 76% ?

Complete each and every side missions, upgrade to fullest and then you are done.

All side missions are done. All blackboxes are collected, all field ops are killed and all lairs are destroyed.
All blacknet missions are done.

I guess power upgrade is only left.

Thats sad!

Rob Bridgett, senior audio director of Radical since 2007, tweeted "RIP Radical Entertainment 1991-2012"

Prototype truly created its own set of audience within a short period.

RIP Alex Mercer

RIP James Heller

if u have Radnet Edition u can access to Radnet events in Radnet Menu

If you have done everything then yes upgrades are left.

Thought of playing Prototype 2, this weekend!
But from the above comments, i get mixed reactions.

Is that much bad?

Its goood! Why not give it a try and check it out yourself.

Zangetsu said:

I gave a try on yesterday night to check the gameplay (skipped the movies-have to start AFRESH after completing the side missions of Prototype1)
Compared to 1, the environment is rich in details and prone to be destructible much. It's well constructed and much more DIVERSE than the predecessor.
But i like the CONSUME in 2 (till what i've played), as it is more quick and handy in times of pursuit. Got the CLAW power and i love the CLAW POUNCE while hunting.

I got some questions for you -

1. Why Mercer injected Heller with virus when confronted, instead of just killing him (Isnt that mercer's nature?)
2. What do you mean by repetitive? (compared with prototype 1)
3. I know PROTOTYPE 3 is scraped off by Activision. What could be the reason - Incomplete story/Not able to find a new replacement for Mercer/Heller or simply people lost interest in same story of hunting someone with incredible powers?

1. To continue the story.

2. Means that using the powers after some time isn't fun anymore and same old same old side quests. Kill that, infiltrate this and all.
3 For a game to be hit which is not a FPS then it needs a really powerful story and Prototype lacks that.
I hope you got your answers.
