im going to have to disagree. prototype is going to be better and infamous gets boring just really doing the same thing. and it really gives out the ending. prototype is bloodier and kick ass and better. in infamous you cant even get a gun, a tank, or a helicopter913GAMERIf you honestly think you are just doing the same things in InFamous then i'd have to assume you never played. There is a lot of variety to the game, and even the things you do have to do repeatedly are quite entertaining. Prototype has just as much repetition. Sure you can get a gun, a tank, or a helicopter, but none are really that fun to use except for the helicopter. The controls - the feel of the character and vehicle movement - is horribly sloppy. It really really turned me off, and are my biggest complaint. No matter how cool what you're doing in the game actually is if it doesn't feel natural in your hands ( and it doesn't) it kinda destroys the fun. InFamous's controls are very very intuitive and just feel right. I never got a feel for Mercer, and thought the story was bloody stupid. If it wasn't for endless killing sprees Prototrype wouldn't have a mutant leg to stand on.
After playing and completeing both of them.
I have to say, I enjoy Prototype a little bit more then inFamous.
inFamous was fun, don't get me wrong, but Prototype kept me hooked with the game play and storyline the whole way through.
inFamous got really repetitve once I got to the second island.
Overall, inFamous was a solid sandbox game, but Prototype was just amazing.
inFAMOUS is more polished and has a better story. Prototype is more fun and the adaptive parkour/antihero power moves are badass sick. Both have their pros and cons. Metacritic has both in the 80's. 86 average for inFAMOUS and 84 average for Prototype. I agree with that.
I can't believe how all of u guys r saying how infamous looks cooler and has a better story, when prototype and infamous are almost the same. There was an accident, they got powers, theyre in a quarantined area, and they can be good or bad. And yes, i agree that only having electricity would suck. In the videos ive seen, you use the same attack over and over. Theres nothing to it. U have a bunch of different moves in Prototype. Infamous is cool but I think prototype beats it.T-Potz
Um, actually I can't believe you think they're anything alike. They are sandbox titles with super-powered protagonists. That's where it ends. I never found a point in Prototype where I could be good or bad. You're pretty much just bad unless you choose not to slaughter the innocents, but where's the fun in that? In InFamous you do have one primary attack, but you have quite a few more at your disposal. You have a force field shield, a sniper shot, grenades, a powerful lightening storm, some electricity "claws", a force push, the megawatt hammer, the static thrusters, and a couple more. You have pretty much two story lines in InFamous also. Anyway, both games have a completely different art and story direction and offer completely different play styles. Ones pretty much a third person shooter and ones pretty much a hack n slash. They're really very different. Especially when it comes to looks and story.
They´re both awesome, cool games... In that, we all agree, right? Ok, they´re sandbox games with lots of places to see and lots of people to kill... Prototype is definitely more violent and with larger quantities of blood. inFamous relies on the power of electricity and it´s variations like electricity grenades, lightning storms and so on... The story in inFamous seems more organized than in Prototype but Prototype does have that flashback story telling and that makes it more mysterious.
inFamous doesn´t allow you to use guns because of the gunpowder that will explode in Cole´s hands but in Prototype you can use the military´s weapons and that´s cool but inFamous because you only rely on your power that makes it more "super-hero like" because you only use that power and it´s variations.
Prototype probably the coolest feature is you can absorb other people and transform into them and your devastating powers like your "arm-blade", your razor sharp claws,a body armour and your "Devastator" attacks that are brutal and gory(just how I like them xd).
Cole´s(inFamous main character) enemies are gang members that are disguised such as Reapers, and they´re not that repetitive... There are the usual ones with AK-47´s, others that are incredibly fast and with ground attacks, others with machine guns and so on...
In Prototype, your enemy is everyone... Mainly the soldiers but you wanna kill everyone. You fight helicopters and tanks and you can steal them. You can use the soldier´s weapons like rifles, rocket launchers(my favourite :D) and you can absorb them and blame someone else that they´re the bad guy since they know you can transform...
In inFamous you´re like a fly, you crawl through buildings and you can get on top of everything but on Prototype you can run through a building and then jump and hover until you reach the ground. Prototype also lets you jump at incredible heights and distances and run at an incredible speed...
in InFamous you decide what you wanna be a villain or a super-hero and that makes the storyline more interesting and how it changes depending on your behavior around the citizens, like if you heal them or absorb their energy and the missions change reflecting on your actions and that also gives you a new look and super powers related with electricity but in Prototype you just want simple, plain revenge and in that matter inFamous wins.
Prototype is more original than inFamous but still pretty déjà -vu with the memory system and other aspects of the game...
The graphics look way better in inFamous than Prototype but that doesn´t make it less fun...
In the end is up to you to decide but if you have a decent amount of money buy both but if not don´t also forget Uncharted 2: Among Thieves because that, my friend is a must buy game... Just check out the demo footage!

infamous has more dpth to gameplay, while prototype is more for people who are only interested in seeing some gore. :roll:thrubeingcool13I don't see how you think Infamous has any more depth than Prototype.. Infact combat wise there are for more useful abilities and variety in Prototype than there was in Infamous.. Not to mention the whole moral choice system was completely stupid, consisting of a evil man or a good guy.. Man what choices! Not to mention alot of the choices are just flat out ridiculous half the time.. Both games side missions were also quite useless unfortunately, but I found Prototypes overall combat much more visceral and enjoyable, not to mention the story overall I prefered more.. It was more of a mystery, while Infamous had a ridiculously anti climatic ending.. Thats just me though.
I've played a little bit of both and I think inFamous is by far the better of the two. prototype isn't bad its just not as good as inFamous IMO.
im going to have to disagree. prototype is going to be better and infamous gets boring just really doing the same thing. and it really gives out the ending. prototype is bloodier and kick ass and better. in infamous you cant even get a gun, a tank, or a helicopter913GAMER
I don't if it is me, but If I had electrical powers why would I care if I could use a gun or not?
the same applys to Alex case :roll:

Hehehe PS3 owners still own anyway cause they have BOTH games so stop these useless ranting.
I agree. I've played Infamous twice through to get all the trophies, & was still enjoying it when I finished. I'm currently playing Prototype on the PC on high settings, & it looks awful compared to Infamous - Alex Mercer is the only bit of that game that looks like they took any time over it. It's so bland. On the gameplay front, I've played about 4 hours, & I'm not really getting into it - maybe it would be better with a console controller but I could find myself not being bothered if I don't finish it.
inFamous is better =] cauzzze it does mybe have electricity but its got more mission more more fun more abilites it has different story missions evil and good the person who said blue itz called inFamous which is red not blue i rekon inFamous cauze ittz better =P David112233_102
lost a few brain cells trying to read that...
Thats strange coz ALL I AM SEEING IS PROTOTYPE. Its just wen I went to find out more about it online that I came across Infamous otherwise I had no idea..... I'm choosin infamous btw, just coz its exclusiv to ps......... I like the superiority :Pdaisy764then you see in the polls infamous destroying prototype.
Difficult to say, though I do find myself more partial to playing Prototype if only for the brutality of it all :p
Prototype plays quite poorly compared to Infamous, Infamous just screams quality all round whereas Prototype feels a bit cheap.
having already finished inFamous once I got a little bored doing it over... just started playing Prototype yesterday and I must say - the graphics are way better in Prototype... Since I only have about an hr worth of play in, I can't totally decide which game is better but Prototype sure as hell looks nicer... nando99You can get free optician tests nowadays...

Seriously? There is no way the cut scenes and/or actual game play looks better in inFamous compared to Prototype. And just FYI - I'm playing both on a Panasonic - VIERA / 50" Class / 720p / 600Hz / Plasma HDTV - so I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to make such a statement.
Sounds like GTA without the elbowing.i agree that quality wise infamous is better.. prototype is a stress reliever game, sort of a guilty pleasure plain fun:P where you can elbow drop a tank, run around like crazy, glide, destroy people violently and hijack a helicopter:twisted:

hey how about not bringin back an old topic... and make it a blog post...Why the h*ll Prototype has 8.5 on gamespot.
Protoype is a bit better than inFamous
It has better gameplay and it is bigger fun.
I would easily give protoype a 9.5

I"m going with Prototype. Cole just seems like a one hit wonder of sorts. Sure zapping ppl in the balls with lightning will be fun...at first. But after doing it for the billionth time it will wear off. I have more choice in my way of murder in prototype, and that's the way i want it.
