I know they're not out yet but bear with me... They both look totally cool but i couldnt help but notice they are kinda the same..

Both Open World Games, Both "heros" have special powers, lots of butt kicking, graphics look good (Infamous's look slightly better tho), storyline looks more or less the same - Dont know who they are and go looking 4 answers pple get in e way, etc

What else do they offer??

And if it really came down to it, if you went to the store and could only buy 1 which 1 would it be???

I hate these threads, but this is a worthy battle, I haven't seen enough Infamous to judge.......so Prototype.

inFamous is the one that I'm looking forward to the most. The gameplay looks the most fun and the graphics definitely look better. Prototype looks cool too but I just have not found it as exciting. The shapeshifting powers seem cool... but I think I might get bored of it kind of quick. Would love to be wrong though. inFamous reminds me more of the comic book type hero/villian that I enjoyed as a kid, and I'm looking forward to developing his different powers moreso than the ones in Prototype.

Well what are you waiting for?! The inFamous vids have been out for a few months... if you like that action type of game, it looks pretty promising. You all should check out the preview over at ign.com too.

Prototype doesn't look very good to me. I don't like the main character very much and the setting isn't as good as inFAMOUS's destroyed city one.

infamous is cool for its enviromental influences like using the electricity around you to power up but prototype destroys everything and looks very fun so if i could id get both but if i really had to choose id go for prototype

Yea, I've seen that vid too. The action in Prototype looks kind of cool (although the 'flying' looks pretty lame), but the environment (levels) look so bland to me. I think that's why I can't really get into it. If it scores an 8 or better I may still check it out though... it just looks like it could end up being pretty mediocre. Either way, it doesn't come out until summer at the earliest, and inFamous comes out this Spring... so inFamous get the purchase from me by default (I might've been more inclined to buy Prototype if it were going to come out before inFamous).

I do admit infamous's environment looks hott, but i cant shake the feelin that gameplay will get repetitive.. In prototype you transform and absorb so you "learn" the skills of others like how to fly a helicopter and get their memories and the story seems much "deeper".... infamous looks good and the story i think will be great but there seems like Prototype has the potential to have more, but from what i've seen nd heard pple like infamous more... I honestly thought Prototype was better????

Yea well you learn new abilities in inFamous too and get to power up the ones you have. And the powers seem to have more variety in inFamous. That's actually my grudge agains Prototype is that it looks like it'll get repetitive sooner... and inFamous' story is instantly more interesting as I look forward to unraveling the mystery and discovering the destiny of my character (I think both games actually hold that in common to some extent though). The gameplay and gfx of inFamous just look better imo... absorbing identies and shapeshifting combat seems like it can only be fun for so long. Prototype's combat just looks like it'll be another "Spidey" game, (with the addition of disguises and vehicles)... which hasn't been fun for me since Spiderman 3. Maybe the disguises & vehicles will be enough to make this game really awesome... I think it'll definitely be cool, but not on my most anticipated list at all. On the other hand, inFamous is one of my 5 anticipated for this year.

There is more Infamous media than Prototype for those who havent seen Infamous. But I am 100% pro Prototype they are very similar but Prototype seems to do everything better. I guess though with Prototype being delayed again until the Fall I will get both.

These 2 games look very similar and it worries me that one will feel too much like the other. I havent seen much of either but I gotta say prototype does look better. I really hope Infamous is a better game though so those stupid xbox fanboys can envy us and shove prototype straight up their rectums. I also want Sony to have more GREAT exclusives. So far they got a great and wider selection of exclusives WORTHY of purchase. (**** the 360)

... and yes i did! infamous does look awesome, and personally i think it has better graphic over prototype. and in my opinion, while they do looks similar on the outside, the insides are pretty different. while i think prototype is more of ultimate hulk destruction and crackdown, infamous is more similar to assassin's creed (with those climbing and all... ah, all those lovely viewpoints). so im thinking of getting both, since i loved AC, and i think it's good to have a game that lets u destroy anything just mindlessly too.

TBH, I wasn't a big fan of prototype when the first footages came out. Looked pretty meh to me.

But now it has improved big time, and I'll definitely start paying attention to this game.

Yea, even though they both seem similar on the surface.... once you read & see more of each game's gameplay and premise, they will each have a uniquely different flavor of gameplay. inFamous is a day one purchase for me... I'll probably buy Prototype too, but reviews and other games out at the same time will determine if it is a release month or budget title purchase for me.

InFamous will be better, and that's a fact. Well, not really, but I can imagine myself playing these games and Prototype will be one of those games that gets boring and repetitive very quickly. On top of that Sucker Punch is a very reliable source for great games.

I think that is the main criticism for those that aren't super excited for Prototype... there's something about the combat and presentation that just seems very shallow.
