Why are YOU not doing this yet?
So I've seen some chatter around the intertubes about Prototype, and how people think it's not blatantly better than inFAMOUS (
proven to be a lie). But then I noticed that there are people who don't want to give it a chance because there is NO DEMO?!?! Do you SEE the above screenshot? Well, DO ya? Really, you still need a demo?
Ok, fine... let's for a moment ignore this blasphemy. I think I know exactly why there is no demo.
I'll be with you in a minute... I just need to get some info from this guy's brain matter!
The reason there is no demo, is because it would be so fucking awesome that you would play it for hours and hours, until you passed out from dehydration... and then you'd possibly die. OBVIOUSLY, this would lead to a "loss of sale". Hence, the move on the publisher's part to not release a demo.
So if you're still on the fence (like I was) then I implore you to at least RENT it or borrow it from a friend (actually, I just listened to my friend TALK about it and I had to buy it.... and we don't even like the same games!).
If you're still not convinced then you will never get to experience
being an old lady capable of leaping from rooftop to rooftop, defeating tanks by kick-flipping city buses at them, and...
...taking down helicopters with a JUSTICE KICK!!

Also, here's something to chew on: Killzone 2 looks better than Call of Duty 4: 360 or Halo 3.
BlazBlue looks better than all of them.
If I ever start an Ad company I'm hiring you. You cannot argue with such sound logic.
But to the rest of us, it's not just about the graphics. And for the record, Prototype looks awesome. Sure, the detail is lacking when you stop and take a close look at things... but this game's mechanics are meant to have the player constantly in motion.
Honestly the technical achievement of this huge and populated city, with such fluid movement throughout, with no load times, and with such capacity for mayhem and destruction... is very impressive. This fact overshadows that obvious, which is that corners had to be cut in the "details" department in order to "make it happen" due to "technical restrictions".
Would you rather have had Prototype come out in 5 years when the hardware would be better? I'm GLAD it came out this year... and I'm ANTICI-FUCKING-PATING THE AWESOMENESS that will be this game's descendant in 5 years.
No regrets here... enjoy your inFAMOUS.
prototype is lame...
CORRECTED !
You should try Hoborg.
"but I bought a 1000$ HDTV for a reason, to play the most graphically advanced awesomeness known to man."
Well, you better get to buyin' a PS3 then.
Also no load times? There are load times before every mission.
In short: A bloody game isn't a good game.
It might be more of an extended rental than a purchase, but I picked it up for $40 on Amazon's Deal of the Day and plan on putting it on Goozex. I just don't see myself going through the trouble to track down this game's version of "agility orbs."
@ParaParaKing: unresponsive controls? I'm not sure what you're talking about. I play it on my 360, and it controls great. Even the button combos that some people find annoying like x+y or even x+b, I can pull of comfortably. But that's because I have mighty hands of awesomeness that can please most women unlike you... but to stay on topic, I'm not sure how grounded your complaint is.
Also, yes the loading times are there, but only during mission loads and they are rather brief because usually extra elements have to get loaded quickly and most of the time you find yourself in a new location. But, while traversing the city, there are no load times. This is exactly how GTA always worked, so I don't see anyone crying about it.
It's not only a bloody game, it's an amazing action game. If you failed to experience this, I'm sorry but you're missing out on the fun of gaming.
As always, thanks for the comments all :)
