Prototype teaser has words, some of them written by us photo

Late this afternoon Activision tossed us another trailer for Radical Entertainment’s Prototype. Unlike the other Prototype trailers we’ve carried, you won’t be able to get much of a look at the game’s action or glean story elements -- large, white text in the foreground draws the eye and blocks the action.

Normally we’d declare this a silly teaser, but here’s the cool thing about it: one of the quotes is from us. We're totally not above patting ourselves on our well-muscled, beautiful backs.

But wait there’s more! In the gallery below is a screen of the game’s move list. It took us over thirty minutes to download the file so enjoy it. Or something.

Nice choice of music. Also, I cannot wait to elbow drop a tank from 100 feet away.

Just when I thought they were getting a bit too serious about the Helicoptor-Zombie-Chop-Chop, this trailer...Yeah. You get the idea.

Anyone else get the Activision Newsletter just for Bodysurfing from the start?

I felt the Destructoid quote had the most emphasis.

It's a blog overload of quotes!

Yours was probably the best one, but fucking Kotaku's? "MY TYPE OF GAME".

Who's type? Did Kotaku become a sentient being and decide to speak it itself?

Also, "God of WHAT?"

What the fuck is that shit. Let's compare a sandbox game to a level-based action title that came out like 6 years before it on the PS2. Remember, these people are paid "professionals".

Some one tell me the name of this classical song in this trailer that I constantly hear, but never know the name of.

I watched that video only because you used the phrase well muscled, Brad.

You guys must be feelin' goooooooddd, eh? :)

Apart from that:

I've been wondering what's the deal with the average Joe Schmo blessed with sadistic powers... Lol. Present trend or childhood fantasies finally delivered in virtual form?

InFamous vs Prototype ... Let it begin!
PS3 vs Xbox 360 ?

I mean, the game's art style rocks, but the graphics utterly sucks! Just think of GTA 4 with Niko shape-shifting :D

"Nikoman" ^^

Yashot: I thought the same thing about the graphics. They look kinda bland.

I don't know maybe when I'm actually playing it on my tv it'll look better? But then again inFamous has the worst looking cars. The look like cardboard.

Although Prototype looks fun so I guess can forgive the bland graphics.

Seriously, does he way about 15 tonnes?
He must, if he can crush tanks, and jumping half a foot in the air crushes the ground below him. I hope he can't walk over bridges without them collapsing.

It's called suspension of disbelief and the ability to change the mass of body parts at will.

@Magnalon "Also, 'God of WHAT?' What the fuck is that shit. Let's compare a sandbox game to a level-based action title that came out like 6 years before it on the PS2."

You're kidding, right?

I believe they are making a comment on titles that are hotly anticipated--God of War III being one of them. So the quote alludes to a shift in attention away from GoW3 to Prototype. The quote is NOT comparing the games against each other.

You're kidding right? God of War III doesn't come out until possibly 2010. They're in no way in direct competition with each other. I also explained that they're entirely different genres.

I absolutely love that trailer. I wish I could propel my self through the air by punching.

Destructoid is famous! The best quote was probably "God of What?" Seriously I'd like to see Kratos elbow drop a tank.

Not sure if you're serious, but sorry to disappoint you, but that's not how it works.
