Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



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.

Yeah... This is on my list. What was great was Morgan's reaction to the blood in the chopper. A game that makes me do stuff like that is worth playing.

I live in Australia and as such don't get G4.
I can't believe how goddamn annoying Morgan Webb is.

I don't think they'd let the guy die in an expo build. That's just poor marketing.

And Fox: Oaky overtones... a citrus aftertaste and... is that a succinct sweetness of sexism I detect? Or the tart tanginess of elitism?

I hope the gameplay isn't as lame as that looked.

Why is it that G4's videos take forever to load or always have to keep buffering? Pain in the balls.

Nice. Games this brutal get a slight pique in interest from me.

@ Elrando - I'm an Aussie too and have to agree with you. Most annoying bitch ever. Is it just me, or do most of G4's hosts suck ass?

Morgan Webb is fine, working as intended.

When I saw the trailer, I though about CrackDown and Just Cause.

I'd hit it.

Looks promising.
Maybe the words PC related to it made it promising, but whatever.

@Tubatic: Morgan or the game?

Definitely interested in the game, but the video makes it look a little flat (helicopter squish withstanding).

How can anyone complain how this or that looks? It's only 20% done. That's a long way to go to make things up to par. Right now it looks like they onto something, this could be a lot of fun.

@Bricfa: That movie is called Hancock.

Semi-unscripted Morgan Webb! Uh-oh! Poor girl isn't used to that 'world' yet.
