Prototype 2 Will Probably Be Announced At The VGAs

Fuck it, i'm all in for this. It'll either be awesome or i'll be slamming the corner of the box into my forehead repeatedly.

I'm excited.  I'm super into open world + super powers.  Comes from playing GTA and looking up at skyscrapers and saying 'man, I want to go up there'.  
 
I liked Infamous and Prototype about the same.  Infamous was the more polished game, no question.  But I like brawlers a little better than shooters, so it was kind of a wash for me.  Another iteration on both has the potential to be better.  Cautious optimism activate!

Agreed.

There was something weird about the game.  For instance, you couldn't walk around normally without pushing everybody out of the way & causing a scene.  Violence against civilians was monstrous (but you're the "good guy?").  It was a bit ridiculous. Some of the combat missions were incredibly repetitive.  I got the game for cheap & spent many hours playing it, but after a bit, I just found it to be pretty dull & wasn't even interested in seeing how it ended. They also cut the co-op feature which didn't help the game, making it a lonely solo affair.  One could be playing far better solo games such as Dragon Age, Mass Effect, or Fallout which give a better person-to-game connect for the solo traveller.  I think I ended up dumping Prototype to go back & play Left 4 Dead 1 for a bit (then moved to replay ME1 & start Dragon Age).

Well, part of the issue may be your misconception that you were supposed to be the "good guy". That is plainly not true, the game makes it pretty clear that you are not any kind of good guy, you are just trying to survive and figure shit out, whatever it takes. I mean, you absorb civilians for health, run them over, etc. You are definitely not a good guy (especially with what you find out at the end of the story)  That being said, sure, yea, the missions were repetitive, the world wasn't interesting. But just running around wrecking shit with awesome powers is simply a whole lot of fun, and that part of the game worked well. The story wasn't too bad either. "

Running around wrecking shit got boring after the first 5 seconds. People comparing it to inFamous are crazy and the ones who say it's better. Wow. "

I was kind of excited for a new IP. To know that all of this "murder your maker" crap is all for Prototype 2 is pretty lame.

Prototype is one of those games that falls in the catagory of..." Games that make me sad that people don't have room for any more".  ...Unapologetically Unbelievable and Unabashedly enjoyable. madd fun, yo'.

Awesome, i loved the original. Hopefully its got the co-op that they cut from the original.
