Seriously, this video really sums up visually what makes InFamous so good. I know it's old, but many seem to have missed it...

Why would I care about the visuals over other things? Better looking does not mean better game automatically, and from what I have played of both games (not a whole lot since I am broke), I prefer Prototype for its game style.

I havnt heard of either InFAMOUS or Prototype ever before and then all of a sudden they both pop up into stores. Thats probably why im turned off by both of them

True, true. Prototype is the one case where the gameplay outshines the graphics in every way. I just picked Prototype up last week and I can't get enough of the balls-to-the-wall action and intensity you feel throughout.

Well, I don't see how that's possible with you posting on GS and whatnot. And why would 2 great games "popping out of nowhere" turn you off to them, if anything , with the year we've had so far (with respect to awesome games) that would be a huge bonus.

Do you have Prototype? It's very nearly as good as Infamous to be honest.

Exactly. I watch E3 every year, post here, etc and ive never heard of either when they were both in development. Then all of a sudden two games that are very similar pop up out of nowhere. I guess the fact that they both are alike makes it seem like two companies rushed these games out just to compete with eachother

It looks like a knock-off of Prototype to be honest. And I didn't even like Prototype.

Only it's not a knockoff because they are very different games.

assuming you mean a true gamer has the ps3 instead of the 360. a TRUE gamer would have them both and reserve their judgement for ALL games on BOTH systems (all systems if you include the wii and pc)

I enjoyed what I played of InFamous better then I did in Prototype (and I finished Prototype and not InFamous)

While Prototype's gameplay/action is a little better, it gets OLD, really really fast. Even with the consume missions, other missions, etcand the web thing. Its still not enough. By the end of the game I just wanted to finish the darn thing.

Also the tentacle upgrade in Prototype is CHEAP. Its way to powerful and over- shadows the other ablitlies besides the sword upgrade and makes jacking helicopters a piece of cake.

Still trying to prove on over the other? Kinda sad if you ask me. Both are great. People have their preferences though. I prefer Prototype and have nearly beaten inFamous. But I enjoy both. I don't see why these comparisons have to be done constantly.

i've played both and think prototype is better, just an opinion and all but there you have it.

i'll take fun over gfx any day and on top of that i never really noticed one looking better than the other, just different, and when you add in the gfx downgrade all sandbox titles tend to have it makes no diff

When have I ever seen a trailer that doesn't make the best of their game stand out? Is this thread for real? Your proof is a Sucker punch trailer for inFamous? Did you expect them to downplay their product for the sake of honest comparison? I only played the demo, but I was pleasantly surprised with inFamous. Still not gaga over electro/jedi guy but was fun. Prototype just plays a little more fun for me.

I really don't get people saying inFamous's graphics were great. The character models were TERRIBLE and the city wasn't anything special.As far as PS3 exclusives go, graphically it was subpar.

true but A LOT of people in SW love defending graphics and using it as leverage against other games

The masses and infact gamers in general do not like good games they buy crap constantly only one person buys good games and thats the person talking about the game thats better then the other game. Sales never matter to them...till their game they are voting for sells massively...

@silvveran ^^^^

That shouldn't matter a good game a truely good game should be able to outsell any thing no matter its advantage in reality Prototype is an amazing multiplat it beats otu infamous as an exclusive game and because of that it sells more.

i mainly prefer inFAMOUS over Prototype for 2 reasons:

1. inFAMOUS has better graphics, and thats of course the most important thing in SW.

2. in Prototype, theres FAR too much going on at once. sometimes you dont even know what hits you/where it came form which gets very irritating, and the slightest things always get the military on your back, like falling from great distances.

yeah, compared to other PS3 exclusives inFAMOUS's graphics suck, but compared to Prototype's, they're good. Prototype looks like a PS2 game

DeadMagazines

Yeah.. where's crackdown on ps3 btw?

give it up man... crackdown is a fun game but its production values a terrible. So many glaring problems such as no story, sniper accurate enemies, glitches, arcady feel. I enjoy it for the B game it is. If you had played the games you would see that they have very little in common with crackdown apart from being able to climb buildings. If anything prototype resembles crackdown in gameplay the most.

They're both excellent games and deserve the credit in their own right. If anything those 3 games have redefined what I want from an open world game.
