[prototype] is the best game released in 2009 yet!

i havnt played [prototype] is it any good?

I'd go with demon's souls, but prototype was fairly fun. I wasn't as big of a fan of inFamous (It's hard for me to enjoy sandbox type games), and I've been skeptical on buying killzone 2 (not a huge shooter fan) but I'll be getting killzone 2 within the next 2 weeks so that may change my decision. But I've never liked a game as much as I have demon's souls.

You really like Demon's Souls, don't ya? I have really tried to get into it, but I just can't. I mean, it's nice to see a really hardcore game, but I can't play the game for longer than 30 minutes. Something about the mood and look of it.

It's pretty fun. It's really often compared to inFamous but there are so many differences you can hardly call it that. I think it's more intense, more brutal, and way darker. The combat is SO intense.

[QUOTE="Nephilim83"]Like i said, dude. Unrealistic detail and awesome water. The character models still need some work. When you're actually playing the game it still feels like an everyday FPS to me. Anyway, I never implied that anyone should sale their consoles or stop playing vintage games. i simply said that graphics ARE important, and for a very good reason. Crysis is a good example. Withouth the graphics it'd just be another spin of the FPS genre, and wouldn't have gotten nearly as much attention as it did. You're just going the great lengths for the sake of argument.BioShockOwnz

Show me one in-game screen of a character model for a game on current generation consoles that looks that good. It can't be a cutscene, either. It has to be in-game, much like my screen.

And no, Crysis is a great game beyond its visuals. You'll see when Crysis 2 comes to consoles, cause it won't be able to fall back on its graphics. ;)

That's a PC version of L4D, so it doesn't prove the console argument at all. And notice the flat hair textures, the collar of the shirt, the jacket cutting into his arm.

That model is far inferior to anything seen in Crysis, even as a PC screen.

Immersive =/= graphically superior, though. I found Ico, SotC, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, and many other games to be more immersive than any games out there today, and they're all dated.

Prototype is NO WERE NEAR best game of '09. :lol: I still have to give that to Killzone 2 personally, but inFamous is a close second. raven_squad

In your opinion it isn't good.

It's pretty amazing, and not like any other game I've played. It seemed to do the opposite of what games are doing now adays and actually taking a chance with something original. The story line (once you figure it out) is amazing! and I REALLY enjoy games that are difficult. It's the type of game that when you first play it and say, why is this so difficult? then you realize other people have beaten it more times over than you have once. Just that factor alone sucks me in and makes me want to get good at it. I'm in new game+++++ now at level 131 and I STILL want to keep playing.

Each NPC in the game had such an intense story revolving around boletaria and the nexus, and the ending of the game was phenomenal (both endings). there's SO many different unique weapons, a lot of cool looking armor, and the magic system (although overpowered) fits in perfectly.

Lastly, the player vs player aspect of the game is AWESOME especially for being on consoles. It feels as intense as arena WoW pvp was, but puts it on consoles, and often times results in 1on1s, 1on2s, 1on3s, or 2on3s. It's a truly unique and amazing title. It was actually so good that it sold out everywhere, the price got jacked up to 70-90 bucks, and it's on backorder in so many places from importing that atlus decided to bring it to the U.S. when originally, from software intended on being a Japan-only release.

KZ2 is the only one I've played so I voted for that >.<

[QUOTE="TormentedHero"]Killzone 2 is the best game so far, It has a great offline campaign mode and a great online mode too.Hot-Tamale

word. They need to fix the control responsiveness, though.

I've had the most fun with RE5 so far this year. SF4, Infamous, and KZ2 are also awesome games though.

I really need to try to get into it. I think it's going to be one of those games I don't like at first, but as time goes on it starts to grab me. I've had that happen a few times. I hope it happens here.

It's between Prototype and RFG for me.

inFAMOUS and Bionic Commando a bit behind those.

Haha! You're impossible! Who said this was a console argument? I thought we were just talking about character models? That korean looks like he has downs syndrome. The pic I submitted looks a lot more realistic and a lot better IMO. Who cares if his hair is flat? Its a buzz cut! His jacket cuts into his arm? So, that's still a pretty realistic looking arm. I'm sure if you search enough you'd find a glitch shot of some Crysis characters. I know the sure as heck moved funny. Anyway, Immersive =/= graphically superior. Agreed. However, graphically more realistic = more immersive. Here's another one for ya just to see how you'll pick it apart: Nephilim83

Well, it's just a fact. The Source engine is a very old engine, and even though it's quite scalable, it just can't touch CryEngine 2. Well unless you use mods:

-

The pic you submitted really doesn't look a lot more realistic at all. The graphical inconsistencies in the model is quite glaring, as I pointed out in the previous post. Those Helghast soldiers are also technically inferior to what I had posted. Not only are the coats they're wearing poorly textured and detailed, which is hard to see with all the damn filters and lighting effects they've got in place, but they also have masks, so that plays a large role, as they don't have to detail the character as much with animations and polys. You can tell when you pop their helmets off in the game.

i think the numbers speak for themselves lol.

Not many other people seem to think RE5 was the best game this year.

I agree RE5 is one of the highlights of 2009 and with 6 million copies sold in 3 months is amazing good news and I dont think InFamous will sell that well in less than 3 months.

But InFamous is just overwhleming... :D

THEY LOOK ALIKE

Prototype is NOT good. It's decent at best. It basically like playing The Incredible Hulk except it has a generic, predictable story. The game has various flaws that nobody seems to notice. It is the second game EVER that I have returned because I simply couldn't stand it anymore. As far as the best game to come out this year, I really don't even know. All the 'good' games have disappointed me in some way. If I'd have to chose though, I'd pick the Uncharted 2 Beta.

ok heres a good breakdown

prototype-amazing

kz2-online got so boring....collecting dust on my shelf

re5-...not like the rest of them...way overhyped

infamous-sucks....feel like im playing x men orgins

jagsxxfan

I picked Infamous because I haven't enjoyed an open world game like that since San Andreas. It's incredible in my mind.

I loved KZ2 as well, but I let a friend borrow it so he could beat the campaign, and I am yet to get it back. I really want to play online again. It's been too long.
