These two games are some of my most hyped titles, and am wondering which version is going to be better Infamous, or Prototype

Infamous-will it be what city of heroes failed to be, and become the ultimate videogame (I'm sorry but who wouldn't want this game to be that good?)

----------------

Image:Infamouslogo.jpg
The game is a third-personsandbox world that reports have said combines elements of the superheroMMOCity of Heroes with a roaming open-world, allowing the player to make choices between being an hero or an anti-hero that will affect the game.[1][2][3] The player will also have access to various super powers as seen in the trailer, such as telekinesis, flight, super jump and electrical conduction. However, the way in which these powers are/will be obtained are currently unknown

.

Developer: Sucker Punch

Games: Sly, Sly 2, Sly 3, Rocket

Reception for game: Very well (sly 2 won numerous platform game of the year) and is my favorite game

Prototype- the next gen megaman, in a sandbox enviroment

Prototype is a video game developed by Radical Entertainment and based on an original IP developed in-house. The game is intended for release in the summer of 2008 for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC platforms. The game is the first in a planned franchise.

The player controls the character of amnesiac Alex Mercer in New York City, with freedom similar to that of the Grand Theft Auto series and The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, in which the player can visit most locations and interact with the environment while not engaged in missions. Alex will clash with the military's Black Watch Special Forces and the effects of a mutated viral epidemic as he works to discover the secrets of his past.

A key aspect of Prototype is the 'disguise or destroy' concept, which is tied to Alex's enemy-consuming and shapeshifting powers. Alex can consume the bodies of those he has killed, which gives him access to their memories, their experiences, and their physical forms. Alex can also shapeshift into more fantastic forms for attack, defense, or sensory enhancement. All of these together are intended to give players multiple ways to complete their objectives. Movement is simplified to allow more controls dedicated to shapeshifting, with Alex automatically navigating obstacles in a manner inspired by Parkour.

Developer: Radical Entertainment

Prototype definately, but that is my opinion. Basically the semi maybe fake gameplay of him jumping off the building had me sold.

I nearly forgot about these two...

I would say prototype. It looks much cooler, and I'm a sci-fi addict

Yea, I'm so hyped for infamous, to the point where I'm pointing it in the goty collumn. If sucker punch suceeds in controlling all these super abilities, it will probably score very high (I mean honestly, who doesn't want to shoot lightning, or dismantle a random civilian in half with your super powers, or use telekenetic powers and throw a police car at police?

Right now, Prototype sounds more interesting. But I'm interested in hearing more about Infamous in the coming months.

I really don't like the main character in InFamous but I am a huge fan of Sucker Punch and have faith in them towards creating an awesome PS3 experience. Also I know nothing about Prototype and judging by those pics the game is ok but meh.

The art style in Infamous is terrible and Radical is more of a B level developer than anything so I think it would take a minor miracle for either game to be anything really special.

Yea, infamous is made by sucker punch, which made I would argue the best platform series last gen. They aren't going to make a great game this time around :o.

why choose there both gonna be overrated by the the gaming community as AAA titles (infamous especially since its exclusive to ps3) and they both are gonna get subpar grades od AA
however they might actually sell good though
think AC........
on that note there both a next-gen copy of the hulk, ultimate destruction lol
except with all the next gen coolness in graphics and physics
oh and most people who has something really bad to say about infamous even though we dont have much info as much as we do about prototype are probably anti-cows who just hate that game cause its exclusive,
But lukily if either or both of them get 8.5+, ill be playing them on my ps3 or 360 (or pc if prototype comes out on pc)

I agree even the character moved the same exact way the Hulk did when they jump in the Air.

Yeah because the Hulk drives a car and uses guns. :roll:

Sucker Punch has a lot to prove with this game because all they made in the past was simple kid's games. I don't doubt that both games will be AA but I do doubt they will be AAA.

I hope they're similar, because I love Crackdown. An open world GTA-styIe game with heavy RPG and Platforming elements. That's unheard of. Definitely the most addicting game I've played in a long time. Those damn orbs!

Prototype doesn't seem like it will be good. Maybe a different dev would have given my greater hopes, but honestly nothing from Radical have I liked once o_o...

who used cars, all I did was jump from building to building. and sucker punch has made probably one of the best platform games of all time (sly 2, or sly 3). You should try it out, because they are significantly better then anything naughty dogs, or insomniac made during the ps2 era.

The developers of prototype have made some pretty mediocre games. The theme seems cool and all but judging by the developer, this game wont deliver.

Infamous on the other hand looks nice, and i hope it comes to 360.

Sucker Punch, Insomniac, and Naughty Dog are basically Sony only they either have exclusive publishing contracts with them or they are owned by them so there is no chance it will come to 360.

you've yet to prove your not a fanboy. The sly games were critically acclaimed by ADULT journalists.

hey i liked city of heroes, come on you could creat super heros like Butt man or something stupid. That was great.

My hero was a Colonal Sanders. saving the world while looking like colonal sanders=EPIC WIN. his villian stupid man david thomas- trying to take over the world with even worse than normal fast food=EPIC LOSS.

Infamous is just a rip-off of prototype IMO. The character's abilities in prototype varies because of the things he shapeshifts into.

The character in Infamous just looks...The game looks plain...

I don't think I'm going to buy any of them in the end.

I think Infamous looks more polished and better. I'm afraid thought that the whole "lightning"-thingy will get old, fast. But I have hope in the developers (whom also did sly copper).

I'm more excited for inFamous. While I don't know all that much on either title, inFamous seems more like a game I'll enjoy plus, for some reason, I believe it will have a better story. But what do I know.

When i first saw the artist pictures for prototype i thought it would be awesome...then i saw the actual game and i have to say that i was severely disappointed. I don't own a ps3 but i am going to say infamous looks better in every way.
