Prototype was in development before inFAMOUS.

Anyways, they're completely different sandbox superhero games. Both are worth buying. Why complain about getting 2 extremely awesome games?

I didn't know "Prototype was in development before inFAMOUS." and although I don't know your source, I will assume you are correct (so ignore the bit I mentioned about that in my previous post). I agree with everything else this person is saying though. :)

Sony and Sucker Punch copied Prototype. It just proves that Sony has to copy anougher developers idea and try to pull it off as there own and to kepep gamers playing the PS3. Microsoft and Radical/Activision should sue both Sony and Sucker Punch cause Infamous is identicle to Prototype in every way minus the Gore. What Sucker Punch and sony cant come up with there own idea for a game so they have to copy anougher developers? This is total BS. Well anyway Prototype will sell better than Infamous that is for sure. Shame on you Sony. I just think thatwhat Sony did was really cheap. If I was a developer I would never allow some other company to copy my idea. What do you guys think and you reviewers and media feel free to chip in your 2 cents on this matter?

InFamous comes out before Prototype, therefore, Prototype copied InFamous.

Wow, lame thread is lame. I'll be picking up inFamous for sure, and maybe Prototype. Both will play very differently.

Ultraking your really dont play excellent games if you think prototype is going to flop. When Prototype comes out nobody will play GTA IV anymore. Prototype will geta 9/10 you can count on that. Infamous just doesnt look all that good it has no Gore and Blood in it so Im sticking with Prototype. We will have to see what game gets the higher score.

Prototype has been in development for quite a long time...i think since last generation, but really there is hardly any similarities between these games other than being a sand box and dealing with some super powers... which have been around for quite a while now.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]

the only similarities are that they are both sandbox games and you play as a guy with super powers in both of them.

the story and gameplay look completely different so im not sure why they keep getting compared.

mgs_freak91

Yea i know. I know spread this comparison to the likes of Spiderman 2 (i played it on the ps2). :O omg! Spidey and Alex Mercer both can run up walls! :O. Holy Cow!

wait a minute prototype is the nothing but hulk ultimate destruction with a guy in a jacket and no hulk

I guess we should cry about Sony bringing a great, new, exclusive Ip to the PS3 instead of trying to make 360 exclusives go multiplat like MS does with the PS3. :roll:

Proof? How do you KNOW it copied Prototype? Any factual source? I don't see anything other than your biased opinion towards Sony and the PS3. Yes, Prototype will sell better than Infamous, but I think Infamous will be better. Just my opinion, but Prototype doesn't look too promising. Infamous is at best AA Prototype is only A to me, or even less than that if things don't work properly. Doesn't look like a promising game to me, but I could be wrong.

inFamous was announced BEFORE Prototype and maybe even Crackdow. Its not unlikely inspiration came from Crackdown but it wasn't copied. Prototype is closer to the Hulk game released by the same dev. TC do your research!

That doesn't matter TC, by the end of the day, PS3 only owners will be able to play both unlike 360 only owners. I hope both do well of course. My prediction is that prototype will get a higher score than Infamous by 1.0 or 0.5

Infamous is coming out BEFORE Prototype and BOTH copied Crackdown.

Harry_Balzac

You are correct. Infamous copied prototype, prototype copied crackdown, crackdown copied just cause, just cause copied scarface, scarface copied the godfather, the godfather copied the getaway, getaway copied mafia, mafia copied gta, gta copied driver, driver copied blah, blah, you get the point, and the point is that the tc should lay off the crack pipe. Everything is copied from somewhere, it's 2009 goddammit, all semblance of originality went out the window when I saw a poster for a remake of teen slasher flick Friday The 13th. I mean who would attempt to recapture the glory of 80's iconic hammy horror flicks like this ol' gem. I nearly died....whats next, a remake of A Nightmare On Elmstreet, directed by Uwe Boll, with Johnny Depp reprising his role as the boyfriend victim of the main female lead? I think someone should make a topic stating how Halo copied Doom.

No Uwe Boll or Johnny Depp but...

A nightmare on elm street

thing is 360 owners have the edge. we get prototype but we have Crackdown, our own exclusive sandbox game. We had that since early 2007. Sony late to the party it seems.

Uuuuggh... What I (and hopefully everyone else) am wondering is whether or not you're unintentionally embarrassing yourself or if this is a joke thread so cleverly disguised no one gets what's supposed to be funny.

Well, although late but they will most probably go on for at least 8 years or so, from the PS1 & PS2 history this is almost a fact, like saying Halo1 got AAA and Halo 2 got an AAA then Halo 3 will 95% get AAA too. you see my point? even if they are late but they will provide us with many stuff and support us for a long time, that's almost a fact unless Sony decides to abandon us (Kratos says: The gods of Olympus have abandoned me, now, there is no hope! ) :P . I dunno if M$ will do the same too, they will be stupid in fact to cut the 360 loose after 5 or 6 years. I went a little bit out of topic :P

Oh, Ok, of course you have the edge. You are a 360 ONLY owner, so you must have the edge over someone who can't have crackdown, prototype, gears, halo 3, dead rising, lost planet 2. Thing is, your assuming that Prototype is a good game even before it has come out. You also seem to be under the impression that Crackdown is of such a high quality that it is worth owning a 360 for alone. Yes PS3 owners are under privalaged, as they only get 2 similar sandbox, superhero games releasing at a similar time frame, both looking very promising, both getting very good write up's from play tests (remember though, things can go south in reviews even after playtests) from reliable sources for both games. Yet a 360 advocate and MS extremist is trying to say that PS3 is disadvantaged because it's not getting a mediocre 2007 port???? Lay off the wacky tobbaccy friend. Prototype is made by the people who brought us Hulk (not a bad game, just not great), and Infamous is made by Sucker Punch the team that made the Sly Cooper series, which were regarded as great games.....It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the latters game has a good chance of being worthy of playing if your into this type of game. So as a PS3/360 owner, I can buy both Infamous and Prototype.....And if I do, I will buy both on PS3 as it is more my preferred console (controller preference), and it is good to keep all non exclusives on one platform. So I'm sure you'd rather be playing 2007's Crackdown with Prototype, instead of the latter as well as Infamous.

just saying 360 has a better sandbox library then PS3 Just Cause, Bully, Saints Row, GTA: LATD, Crackdown........all sandbox games on 360 and not on PS3.

Yes it has more sandbox games, but who in there right mind would mention just cause and bully. These are last gen ports that were riddled with more bugs than paris hiltons underwear. Saints Row 2 is out on both which nulifies Saints Row 1, GTA is downloadable content for an already existing game that MS lent 50million to have exclusive....Now considering lems and cows were all sprouting on about how mediocre GTA4 is compared to San Andreas, and how most of them had never bothered playing it too much, let alone finishing it, I fail to see how the d/l content adding more mediocre content to a mediocre game is an advantage? Now, I do like GTA4, so this is no biased for me, but these boards were alight with how overated GTA4 was, how it was nowhere near a 10 and so on. And to me, if Rockstar, or any other developer releases a game that is 90% complete, then 6months later releases the other 10% of the game for 25-35% of the full priced game, then I ain't buying into that crap so Rockstar can pay back MS there 50million. I would much rather put that money towards a new entire game (like LA Noire, Red Dead 2 or such). So basically the only advantage MS has until Infamous releases is Crackdown. Thats it, as nobody would be silly enough to buy the other 2 last gen ports. Oh, and maybe Rockstars rip off other 5% for $30 of game is also considered an advantage by some. With fanboy goggles de-activated, even you would have to agree that at present MS has an ever so slight sandbox advantage that will be well and truly nulified once infamous hits.

nope. the older sandbox games can be easily bought on the cheap and Downplaying the 2 GTA4 expansions is a mistake.

Now, I do like GTA4, so this is no biased for me, but these boards were alight with how overated GTA4 was, how it was nowhere near a 10 and so on. And to me, if Rockstar, or any other developer releases a game that is 90% complete, then 6months later releases the other 10% of the game for 25-35% of the full priced game, then I ain't buying into that crap so Rockstar can pay back MS there 50million. I would much rather put that money towards a new entire game (like LA Noire, Red Dead 2 or such). So basically the only advantage MS has until Infamous releases is Crackdown. Thats it, as nobody would be silly enough to buy the other 2 last gen ports. Oh, and maybe Rockstars rip off other 5% for $30 of game is also considered an advantage by some. With fanboy goggles de-activated, even you would have to agree that at present MS has an ever so slight sandbox advantage that will be well and truly nulified once infamous hits.

I think you should get an Xbox 360. Having all the goods is great fun, my fellow System Wars warrior.

nope. the older sandbox games can be easily bought on the cheap and Downplaying the 2 GTA4 expansions is a mistake.

The older games are cheap for a reason. You can buy the whole backcatalogue of PS2 sandbox games and play them if you have a b/c PS3 like me. So I can not only play the much better, less buggy PS2 version of Bully, but also Just Cause, Total Overdose, GTA3, VC and SA, The Getaway, Red Dead Revolver, Gun, etc,etc. And all these can be bought much cheaper than the hacked 360 ports. And I didn't underplay the GTA expansions, they do give a slight edge to MS along with Crackdown in the sandbox genre, but bet your anoos that advantage will swing slightly in favor of Sony after Infamous releases. You can play up dlc as much as you wish, but I refuse to buy all that extra map, extra levels crap for 99% of my games, as I've been burnt enough times to know when I'm being had. GTA's d/l content does sound like it offers better bang for your buck than most, but I'm adament that Rockstar had this ready when the full game launched, and they purposely held it back for maximum milkage. That to me is not worth it. I would prefer to just finish GTA4 as it was released then move onto my next ten games that have to be finished. Expansion packs are for pc's to me.....And GTA's dlc sales say that more agree with me than not.

I love suckerpunch but why are people defending it by saying it's coming out first? that was just announced recently because they don't want to compete.. and ofcourse it would take shorter to develop.. it's 7 hrs long

I already have a 360 champ. Dead Rising is my favorite game, along with Left 4 Dead. I also own Gears 1, Crackdown and Shadowrun, but I buy most of my games on PS3, unless like Orange Box, the ports are reported to be significantly bad. I love both machines, I just like PS3 a fair bit more for my preference of the controller, Sony 1st party titles and it's PSN games. I just find it hilarious that people with only one console care enough about this crap to create topics on who had an idea about a sandbox game 1st, when we've had 1.5 gens of these games going on. And the superhero sandbox thang was already done with a pc game that I cannot remember the name of.

Sony and Sucker Punch copied Prototype. It just proves that Sony has to copy anougher developers idea and try to pull it off as there own and to kepep gamers playing the PS3. Microsoft and Radical/Activision should sue both Sony and Sucker Punch cause Infamous is identicle to Prototype in every way minus the Gore. What Sucker Punch and sony cant come up with there own idea for a game so they have to copy anougher developers? This is total BS. Well anyway Prototype will sell better than Infamous that is for sure. Shame on you Sony. I just think thatwhat Sony did was really cheap. If I was a developer I would never allow some other company to copy my idea. What do you guys think and you reviewers and media feel free to chip in your 2 cents on this matter?

KenMasters238
Funny how Infamous was announced before Prototype.......I suppose your wacky conspiracy theory will be Sony has a spy at Radical/Activision feeding them info right? This is the first time I've seen someone say a game that will be released first copied a game not released yet.....lol only in system wars do you see this logic.

Ok, seriously this thread is just stupid now. TC you started a pointless arguement. It would be the same as saying, Splinter Cell copied Metal Gear Solid when it came to Stealth gaming + awesome characters who the government think is the last person that can stop injustice. Or something as simple as, Uncharted copied the cover system from Gears of War, boo hoo. Sony and Sucker Punch can't be sued because they arent taking Activisions - Microsoft is not related in ANYWAY to this as Prototype is not owned by them, it's only coming out on the system, doesn't mean they can persuade anyone to do anything - story or ideas, as the story or ideas arent even theres, supercharged characters have been done in games, movies, books etc in the past. They story that is in Prototype is unknown, Sucker Punch therefore would not know the story, so it would be just coincidence if they made something similar, i dont know the story - i can go make my own game, a small, dodgy, 2D, birds eye view open world game, hopefully finish it before or a little bit after Prototype comes out and i cant get sued (even after Prototype comes out because consideration to how long i have been making the game will take place, i cant make a game in two days so they know i didnt copy directly from Prototype. Same goes for, gameplay, Art style, or anything else. I dont know if what i am saying is true, but im 100% sure that Activision cant sue Sucker Punch for inFamous. Not to mention that inFamous is coming out before Prototype or that the gameplay IS different even though they look similar. I have seen Prototype, and i am excited about it, but i will probably get infamous as it has more style, the graphics look (to me) better and the Karma system looks awesome, i will wait till reviews come out, not because i want to get an AAA game (that has been given by someone elses opinion) but because reviews help me decide on the fact that they state what is in the game and the gameplay it self (i want to know if it has heaps of replayability, as if it even gets AAAA, i would not buy!)

Infamous has been looking very good lately. The graphics in the latest vids seem significantly better than before. It always looked better than Protype (visually), but now its a total slaughter.

Infamous looks to be MUCH better than Prototype from the latest video I saw. I was worried that inFamous would be a tad repetative, but after seing latest vid and the awesome looking platform sections, coupled with the train riding, mad explosions and such.....it seems that Prototype needs to start copying back to be as good as infamous.

We all know that the 360 could not handle infamous, due to it's massive hardware limitations. "Only possible on PS3" has never reigned so true.

Infamous is coming out BEFORE Prototype and BOTH copied Crackdown.

Silent-Hal

How did prototype copy Crackdown ? when the creators of prototype made Hulk Ultimate Destruction, which is the foundation for Prototype, so did crackdown copy Hulk ultimate destruction ?, Did Hulk copy Spiderman ?

inFamous does however sound like Static shock/Phantom dust combined.

360 could not handle inFamous ? you're kidding right ?, the same system that every multiplat game looks worse on can handle it but 360 cant ? suuuuure

anyway

I own both PS3 & 360......and i still say inFamous looks like crap, i have yet to be impressed by a single trailer, it looks rather boring going around shooting electricity all day, yea cool that you can be good and evil and all, but what satisfaction do you get out of being evil ? the game has no gore no nothing, being evil will not feel the same as say Fallout 3, its just comic violence........for story/gameplay wise im leaning towards prototype......simply because.....Prototype got its own comicbook deal......inFamous did not. probably because it is a rip off Static shock & Phantom dust and several others with a similiar plot, Prototype seems to be the one that can change Open world games for the better, while infamous seems like a carbon copy. the fact that its by "suckerpunch" means nothing to me, as i didnt like Sly cooper on the PS2 at all lol

All that and Zombies and shape shifting is so much more cooler than electricity =D being a huge sony supporter i wanted to give inFamous a chance, no doubt ill still buy it, but im not expecting much, im not expecting to get the same gameplay satisfaction out of inFamous as i would from prototype because again, inFamous gameplay is nothing new, Prototype is boasting something new that spiderman or any other hero open world game has not acomplished, many will say oh hey ! ultimate destruction......Ultimate destruction is nothing like prototype, besides hey ! ultimate destruction, and thats where that comparison ends. ive talked to a lot of people who went to comic con, i believe both inFamous & Prototype playable demos were there for the public, ive heard everyone say positive things about prototype basicaly praising it saying the gameplay blew their minds, where as for inFamous negative comments all over, from the gameplay mechanics/controls to what have you

mhmm i only have one question for you my good man, did the superior hardware help the Original xbox against the ps2 last gen ?.......:P, that superior hardware in the ps3 seems to be one major problem have they reaped any benefits yet ?, installs, multiplats looking better on the 360, great work superior hardware ! great work indeed.

Keep in mind i buy most multiplats for ps3, im no fanboy, but i wont lie to myself, sony messed up this gen trying to make a power house, had they not done that they probably wouldnt be behind, games like Left 4 dead & others might just have made it onto the ps3, and then sony goes and charge developers for content on the psn store ensuring that microsoft and the 360 gets even more someone from sony needs to get fired immediatly lol.

anyway about the hardware, doesnt the ps3 lack the memory the 360 has or something ? i cant recall but i read that somewhere, that it means everything when developing.

Not sure which hardware is superior to the other in terms of gaming power etc. (we will not discuss reliability). But comaparing multiplat games is not the correct way to compare which system is superior. Remember last gen, Xbox was far supeiror to ps3 in terms of gaming power, yet most multiplat looked and played like crap (in the beginning at least) on Xbox....why? because ps2 was the lead platform, then it was ported to xbox. If you notice now (bishock, dead space, re, madden) then new multiplats are on par, and look good for both systems. In many instances developers have used ps3 as lead platform, or have used a combination of the 2 systems, meaning they used them both in unison.

Comparign exclsuives shows true power of the gmain unit, since they have the reosurces to only focus on one systme, instead of having to port, or develop for 2. In this instance both systmes have shined. GeOW2 looked awesome. Was never a Halo fan, so won;t comment on this, even though younger bro says it looks awesome. MGS4, Uncharted have convinced me that PS3 looks better. I also liek the gameplay. I am not one to sit an compare to nitpick. Both systmes are great systems, offer great games, and different experiences.

Now as for protype copying infamous, or vice versa....who cares. Buy the games you want, regardless of who copied what. So dark asylum copied web of shadows-----it's about super hero in a sandbox setting. KZ2 copied Halo, that copied doom, that copied....just buy the games you want to play, not the scores.

Infamous was made by Sucker Punch who made Sly Cooper, one of the best stealth games I have ever played. The company that made Prototype made the Hulk games and Scarface, boring, mediocre and run of the mill games. Why should i trust them, especially since this game looks like Hulk Unleashed all over again.

Infamous is coming out BEFORE Prototype and BOTH copied Crackdown.

delta3074

How did either game copy Crackdown??? I guess Crackdown was the first open sand box game? Minus the GTA games of course or any other game that lets the player do whatever they want.

crack down is an open ended sanbox game where you play an enhanced super hero type cop, much like prototype and infamous, in GT you play a 'normal' character, crackdown was the first sndbox game where you play an 'enhanced' human being.

The guy who came uo with that is a genius /endsarcasm

It's not copying, it's taking something that people like and improving it, it's called technology folks...It's been with us since the modern ages.
