Since first seeing the title, I've always said that Radical Entertainment's Prototype (set to hit the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC later this year) looks a heck of a lot like one of their previous titles, The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. The open world, the massive destruction caused by impossibly long leaps, and the tossing of military vehicles ... none of which is necessarily a bad thing, mind you.

Radical Entertainment's Chris Ansell stopped by the G4 studios to give X-Play an exclusive live demo of the game in action, and based on this footage, my feelings haven't changed. But even at what Ansell says is 20% complete, the game does look stunning, with a polish and level of violence that we just didn't see when it was tied to that pesky Marvel license.

When an appropriately amused Morgan Webb asks "Did he just squish a guy by landing a helicopter on him?" and Ansell replies (matter-of-factly) that he did, that's when I knew I liked where this was going.

The X-Play folks promise more info and demo footage on tonight's episode, which airs at 8pm EST. My DVR is set.

Wow, it's been a long while since a game has given me a bonar.

DrWiley

Can't wait for Protype.

Klytus

I 20% care about games that are 20% done

Nick Chester

PROTO-TYPO!

HAH! GET IT!?

big filth

whoa.

I like how the blood splattered all over the windsheilf of the helo when he got in there..

That looks pretty intense.

hopefully there will be a little more diversity.

Although wreaking havoc can be fun

DrWiley

Well done Nick. Had to comment. :P

Crapsh00t

Looking like there's some really exciting gameplay there. I can believe it's only a 20% build, with some of the pop-in and character animation, though.

bottled dark

i honestly cant wait for this game.

Jim Sterling

That G4 player next works for me. Shame, because I am really excited for this game.

Nick Chester

@ DrWiley:

Understandable. Everyone always does. We'll be hiring copy-editing trolls soon enough.

@ Jim:

What browser are you using?

Cheeburga

Shit, it looks sweet.

Hitogoroshi

Looks cool. Only 20% complete. It'll be xmas 09 before we see this :(. Hype machine this far our really bothers me.

Brandon Undead

Ultimate Destruction is one of the best licensed comic games ever, and definitely the best Hulk game. I can't wait for this!

J Murda

I said I wanted the pants baggy! Baggy!

Unicorn

i'm addicted to Ultimate Destruction. i've been recorded saying i would've bought 16 copies of it had it had ragdoll..

i'm VERY excited for this game. already looks extremely promising.

and mention of multiplayer is a wet-dream come true. Hulk had no buddies, but this time my buddy and i can LAY WASTE!!!

ragdoll and geo-mod would be awesome if they were incorporated.

AngelsDontBurn

I thought this game sounded like it had some potential. Seeing it in motion is pretty crazy, especially with that being a 20% completed build. That's extremely impressive.

On top of that Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was actually alot of fun. So we can expect some of the same cool things from Hulk plus co-op, excessive violence and abilities? Not to mention better physics and there's ragdoll?

I'm already sold.

galagabug

this definately looks like fun.

Boolean

Wait, Morgan Webb is a chick?

foxhound009

seems nice... although he doesn't seem to be bothered by bullet's.... I don't like easy games...It maybe all cool effects and tits lot of tricks but still.... when you run invulnerable through the game, one may imagine it will get very boring at some point.

AngelsDontBurn

@Boolean: Thank you. I was just about to mention how she looks more and more beastly as time passes.

foxhound009

and what the fu$% does this girl do there interviewing someone about gaming? She's acting like they just stoped her at street and ask what she thinks about the game... But I guess her tits overrule that (used word tits allready twice today)

Clockwork

That looks pretty awesome. Dancing around a helicopter and squishing people with it?

I'M IN!

Unicorn

@foxhound

in Ultimate Destruction you were pretty much impervious to bullets, but death was still there; you just had to take massive damage.

with the bullets not really effecting him, it gives off the sense that he really is a force to be reckoned with. it give him the appearance of amazing strength.

in HULK, missles and shit still blew you back and did damage, but i'm thinking that bullets not hurting him won't make the game easy; just alludes to bigger and stronger objects are there to kick his ass royally

Gemsi

Damn I can't wait for this game

foxhound009

@Unicorn: like?? missiles granades and cannon rounds? those are pretty f easy to dodge when you're don fking spiderman with elstic T 1000 ass :P

Puppy Licks

The window splatter reminded me so much of aliens, my anticipation for this game just went up a fair way.

And damn look at the animation as he's running around, looks sooooo good :)

Unicorn

@foxhound.

true.

later levels of hulk you could actually deflect and even catch giant rocket projectiles, but when you have a whole army on your ass, catching and dodging multiple rockets isn't as easy as it sounds.

albeit, "alex" is more agile than a muscular hulk.

Sharpless

Looks better than the Hulk, though less visually interesting. (I know it's an early build.) Hulk has some good gameplay, but it doesn't have a high replay value, IMO. While being a guy running around in a hoody is less compelling to me, this looks like it has potential.

P.S. Foxhound, that's Morgan Webb.

Fading Star

Morgan looks nice. This game looks fantastic and this is an early build.

mix

Another sweet looking game!

foxhound009

Yup Morgan Webb.. from what I've googled she does actually play games :O My sincere apologies :P

Lowballs

I liked how in a hail of gunfire, the controlable character was only hit maybe twice. Anyone notice that? The enemy AI seems to be going into "henchmen aiming in an action movie" mode.

chief blaze

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....so fucking sweet....i rarely buy games when they first come out but this game looks more promising everytime i see it.

thx for the post Nick Chester.

Bricfa

Game reminds me of that Will smith movie coming out. Can't remember the name.

Neonie

I will be getting this game. I do not care what it takes. I will effing be getting this game.

Kryptinite

this game is looking better with everyday I see it.

BADInc

the more i see from this game, the more i look forward to it

RoMeRtHeGaMe

This game is already on my "Must Have" list, seeing the gameplay of it yesterday only made me want it more, but I know it's still pretty far from complete.

Rockvillian

Welcome to the 80's part II! Excess excess EXCESS!

Juggernaut

Damn this game looks awesome. I have my DVR set, I'll probably watch it later tonight.

But was he using dev hacks for invincible mode? Cause he definitely got shot a lot.

Sam Spectre

This game looks amazing. I can't wait to get it. I'll definitely be watching X Play tonight

the vinny club

Please be on the lookout for copycat helicopter head squishings.

Jonathan Kerr

It took me six minutes to buffer that bitch.

I dig the camera angles and animations, but Bland colours and a boring character detract me.

BaBaBaBaBirdman

Damn, this game looks sick.

ArrestedDeveloper

Soooo it's pretty much crackdown with realistic graphics and crappier jumping.

007

Yeah, this game looks like it will be a shit ton of fun... but without the `fun`. or `of`... or `ton`. yeah, can't have the `ton` in there.

Orionsaint

Wow, I'm liking the new X-play. It's kind of a mix between access hollywood and blogging. They're definitely getting exclusives here if blog sites have to rely on them for gaming news.

BS3 Owner

Prototype > GTA 4

?

falinter

I STILL play Crackdown to this day, and this game gives me that same kind of vibe only more of it.

I am hoping for more than 2 co-op as I had at least 4 friends at a time playing Crackdown and we all thought it would have been funner for us to be in a group instead of split up.

@BS3 Owner:
Both.

Eschatos

This looks really good. Like an upgrade of Crackdown that's actually for the PC. Will buy.
