Prototype vs. Infamous which game will be better?

[QUOTE="VendettaRed07"]

ive been playing infamous alot latley and i have to say it has alot of problems. Like the enemies just arent fun to fight, like at all they are just annoying, all you do is run around and get sniped by apparently the worlds greatest shooters gang. The graphics can be pretty ugly in places and the frame rate dips more often than id like. But running around is fun

This is pretty much how I feel about infamous at the moment and is the main reason I'm holding off on buying it.

Yeah I'll probably get it eventually, but right now I only have enough money for one game and that'll probably be prototype.

New Prototype 4 minute gameplay video.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/28/watch-four-minutes-of-prototype-the-death-of-a-helicopter/

I notice not only he can climb up the buildings with ease but he can also climb them at a slower pace for stealth gameplay.

Infamous looks fantastic, but Prototype looks to be more my type of game.

also did anyone else notice the spiderman movie rip ? 'Choose who to save, the woman you love, or some random pedestrians' lol

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.

JPOBS

:lol: . Don't hold your breath dude.

I don't know much about Prototype, but Infamous is amazing. It's like GTA IV with super powers.

I have a feeling Prototype will score less here but be more fun to play than Infamous.

How about putting a spoiler warning in your post? Some of us haven't completed it yet, and you've just ruined it.

ive just finished playing the infamous demo and the only slightly fun thing was being able to climb on stuff, the graphics were comic book ****and their wasnt any blood when you attcked someone it might have a better story but prototypes graphics and gameplay are going to be freakin awsomefalloutgd

Ummmmm..... what? :?:|

I think you better have another look at Prototype.

It is not a Spiderman rip off. That situation is a timeless classic that has been used in some form in pretty much every popular comic book you can think of since Super Hero comics existed.

Alright, I finished playing infamous, and i love this game. i'll agree with some people that the battles can sometimes get repetitive, but the story makes things go along so well. Also the civilians really do care about ur moral standing. If your are good, some will come up to you take pictures, or even ask you for help. If you are bad, they'll tell you to literally kill urself and sometimes pelt you with rocks. I finished the game on hard, and i will say that the enemies can be tough, but its not as bad as people make it to be. The main thing that i love about infamous is the story line. If anything, I highly doubt prototype will be able to top infamous in terms of story line. The art style that infamous is told in perfectly matches the story. The main thing i believe prototype will have going for i will be gameplay. Don't get me wrong though, infamous doesn't have bland gameplay at all. Its so fun to fry people or chuck gernades that restrain them to the ground, blast enemies away, or conjure up a thunderstorm. It honestly never gets old, because whenever it starts to feel a little slightly repetitive, the story line kicks in to save the day. I think infamous deserves the score it got. I believe prototype might score a little lower, maybe a 8.5, at least I hope it will at least score that. I will be even much happier if prototype has a good storyline like infamous.

How many times are we going to have this thread...?

I think Prototype looks better.

And may that Eurosomething guy who posted inFAMOUS's spoilers w/o tags burn in hell.jasopan

PROTOTYPE!

I've played the inFAMOUS demo and it was... well.... like playing Spider-Man 2 lol. Dissapointing and unoriginal.

One thing I HATE is that it's so OBVIOUS!

"Oh look the bad guys drained the power supply to the train..."

"Oh wait a second... i'm the only guy on earth with electric super-powers... I can fix that in a giffy!"

Why wouldn't the bad guys just melt the tracks or something??? The obstacles are just too obvious and lame...
If a serial-killer Olympic Hurdles runner is running after you in your car, with a Knife... do you throw a hurdle at him? no... you back up and run him over! The AI in inFAMOUS fail to think that way.

I know it's gettign compared to Spider-Man 2 in this thread already but i'm not talkign about the story... i'm talking about what you can do and the physics and AI. Both games feels the same whne playing them.. it feels like they use the same gaming engine or something (even though I kniw they dont)

Similarities:

Run and Climb
Shoot a Super-Power
Kill from a distance with powers or melee
Use Super-Power to do obvious special things
Enemies attack 1 at a time even though there are XX of them (Stupid AI)
Seems like your fighting 3 sets of Triplets dressed the same way all the time. (Enemies have only a few pre-set costumes and faces)

Differences:

Swing web to get from A-B / Slide on Power lines
Graphics

If Peter Parker shot electricity instead of Web... you would think you were playing inFAMOUS. lol

I agree with your decision of prototype but

.......How is spiderman 2 unoriginal ? spiderman 2 is the reason all these other open world hero games exist. i dont think inFamous was like spiderman 2 at all, it felt more similiar to crackdown too me.

[QUOTE="ForsakenWicked"]I think Prototype will be better.-Snooze-

Exactly my thoughts, all his powers are based like weapons, gun, grenades, rockets, if there is one thing i dont want in my hero games that should be about freedom......is shooter elements grrrr.

Sly cooper ? a kiddy game is AAA ?

Hulk UD and sly cooper got pretty much equal scores, and Hulk UD was dubbed the best open world hero game to date. thats a damn good acomplishment. far greater than a talking squirell or racoon w/e he is

And prototype is orginal? Also the AI in infamous is good and you can get killed easly.

[QUOTE="-Snooze-"] I hope so. To me, inFAMOUS just like a poor third person shooter. All the powers just boiled down to guns, and there various fire fire types.PS360_Gamer

Those were other dumb things......how exactly does he magicaly pin people to concrete with his magic electricity ? and how does he heal people with electricity ? anyway inFamous mechanics are built like a shooter his powers work like a shooter, it has shooter elements, doesn't matter what extra stuff you can do with replaced handgun, we already know this, but his combat is based on shooting.

Shooter elements in RPG's are AWESOME !, sorry i dont like shooter elements in my hero games, you dont feel like a hero that way heros are supposed to leap and run up buildings like that, Cole feels like a normal human

Yup cause prototype has zero guns oh wait. Also what do you mean with freedom. I feel like I have freedom in infamous. ALso whats with you and mature games. Do you need blood to have fun in a game or something I mean come on. I sure as hell wouldint call sly cooper kiddy game.

someone doesnt understand the difference between choosing to pick up a gun and use it or not.............and having shooter based combat mechanics xD, prototype doesn't force you to shoot.......no arguement here

Wait your trying to define how a hero should play. Lets face it dude theres tons of different types of heroes in comics and not all are leaping flying guys. You cant define how a hero should play end of story.

Cant you punch people in infamous. Cant you power drop on people in infamous. Cant you throw force push people in infamous. Cant you throw and stick granades on people in infamous.

Walking around all slow and climbing like a monkey while shooting elecrticity The choice is obviousscreechmario

Lmao yea, i know, sorry teen stuff worked when i was a child, kiddy games dont cut it anymore

Prototype sci-fi looks pretty pathetic.

I seriously hate it when people post PC screen shots and claim them to be on Xbox 360.

IMO InFamous will be better.

Played the Demo of inFamous. Was very dissapointed. Very slow paced and, like someone said earlier, the powers are all just a metaphor for third person shooter weaponry. Sticky cover system is a joke in it. I just...I don't know. I was speechless after. Where was the free running that was in the first trailer? He was hopping on cars and rolling off hoods and such in the first trailer. All I get is the clunky jumping that looks like he's sorta hovering for a split second...Was such a dissapointment for me.

For the record, I do have Prototype reserved on PC. The elements of Prototype just seem more varied. Stealth or all out attack? Free running was kept in it as well. Just looks great IMO.

Look at all the people bashing inFamous just because it's an exclusive.

I personally hope that Prototype will be better, but it's at a disdvantage being pretty much an identical date released at a later date. It's almost like Saints Row to GTA, the gameplay is no longer new and fresh and the later game usually suffers. With inFamous being AAA status it sure is a hard act to follow for Prototype.

Yes, since opinions never differ on a game. Everyone always has the same opinion of a game. In fact, i have never seen someone with a different opinion of a game than that of my opinion. Obviously I'm being serious. :|

As for your Prototype vs inFamous debate. You act as if inFamous is the first game where someone has powers and is in an open world. If you honestly believe that then you already don't know what you're talking about. On top of that, Prototype and inFamous's gameplay is vastly different as is the powers. You need only see the videos to see that.

Nice try on the "exclusive" scapegoat though. One day you will learn that opinions can differ on games.

prototype looks like it has more variety in its gameplay, but not as quality. and inFamous' story is just epic, and i think in prototype you just run around doing missions for almost no reason.kkevguy47k

You should take a look at the story trailers. You get story elements from individuals that you consume (and can coincidentally immitate to infiltrate bases if you wish). On top of the main story you have the Web of Intrigue, which unlocks even further what has happened to Alex Mercer in the game. I don't know if it's for sure a good story but it's a bit early to say that "you run around doing missions for no reason". Also, just because a story doesn't interest you doesn't mean that it isn't there. Both stories are pretty standard IMO. inFamous is you're in an explosion and you end up with powers. From there on trying to figure out how to use them and when. Prototype has you waking up on an operating table with no memory and alot of crazy unique powers (ala Shapeshifting and such). All you know is someone did this to you and you need to find out who. Both are pretty standard IMO.

Spider-Man is original.. did I say it wasn't...?

Crappy little side Mission... CHECK!
Multiple Enemies that look the same... CHECK!
****c Story about chosing between 2 things... CHECK!
Super-Powers... CHECK!
Obvious failed attemps from baddies trying to kill you... CHECK!
AI only attacking you 1 at a time... CHECK!
Using Powers to kill from a distance without guns... CHECK!
Climbing buildings... CHECK!

It's pretty damn similar to Spider-Man 2... no doubt about it.

I can see where you would think Crackdown but Crackdown felt different because a lot of crackdown was jumping huge distances, lifting cars and driving vehicles...
The AI was totally different too since they would all shoot at you all the time and not wait till it was their turn.

What I don't get is that is the ratings...

inFAMOUS: 9.0

Spider-Man 2: 7.2

Crackdown: 7.8

I'm sorry but Crackdown is more innovative and offers much more to do and a very good online co-op...
even if Crackdown wasnt' as good which you may think.. does inFAMOUS deserve a ratign 1.2 higher and almost 2 full points than it's twin (Spider-man)?

inFAMOUS got the same rating as Street Fighter, Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, Dead Space, Killzone 2, Bioshock (PS3) and LBP... all of those games are much better and are quite unique in their own way and brought something new to the table... inFAMOUS did none of that and is comapered to those...

inFAMOUS deserved higher than Spider-Man 2 and lower than Crackdown... a 7.5 NOT a 9.0
it's bacically Spider-Man 4: Shocker
