Both really good. Prototype has kinda bad graphics though and that's a bit of a turn off.

I can't really say which one I think is better, because I haven't played either.
However, as far as the discussion of the graphics / living world goes, I totally expect Infamous to be better as it was developed by Sucker Punch.

I haven't played Prototype yet. I'm bidding it on it right now on eBay. When I get it, I'll come back to this thread.

seriously why is this even a discussion anymore, just because they are both open world games that feature a viral outbreak doesn't mean they are the same.
and if you want t know which is better, it is a matter of opinion and personal taste in games.

-if you want completely over the top hulk style action go for prototype 

-if you want more refined comic booky parkour type stuff go for inFAMOUS


but i am fucking sick of seeing the same damn topic on every single forum....
prototype or inFAMOUS,prototype or inFAMOUS,prototype or inFAMOUS,prototype or inFAMOUS?

they're both good but different from each-other , get over it!

Infamous for me personally. 

I bought Prototype, played through the main story and took it back. Man the guys at Gamestop were pissed.

You just completely over-simplified inFamous gameplay. 
Its more like a fantastic 3rd person shooter with fantastic platforming. 
but yeah, no need to do anything to your prototype description, that game is basically the hulk game with a different main character.

Fantastic is a word related with opinion, what is fantastic for you, may not be fantastic for me. That is probably why he didn't describe it as such...

I thought inFamous looked more fun from the previews, but that was mainly because Prototype looked excessively repetitive.
Thankfully I have been purged of this notion.

its pretty much universally agreed that despite any short comings infamous may have, its those two fantastic things that make everything bad forgettable and the game totally awesome.

They both look good. I enjoy the over the top stupid fun in prototype. but the visual style looks awesome in inFAMOUS.

I dunno about missions in each but I find the missions is prototypes weak point. Not from the variety aspect because it's there is just from the AI aspect.
Prototype reminds me of RE2 100% more than inFAMOUS. It seams half of the time things are modled right out of that game.

To the people that arnt quite sure to get it: You can Elbow drop tanks and things Rick Flair style, as well as run super fast into someone pick them up by thier face while still running, run up a side of a building and huck them 400ft+ from ontop of the building into another building and watch them swish. Both o these things I might add never get tiring

I think it's quality over quantity. Prototype has more powers and abilities but the quality of the game suffured because of it. Infamous focouses on one main ability and the quality of the game is much better. That's not to say Prototype is a bad game. They both are pretty different. Prototype is fun to mess around with and blow stuff up.

Prototype looks like it would be really fun one time through.  Infamous is one of my favorite games this generation so it is hard for me to imagine Prototype being better.

but that is just speculation due to the fact i have only played Infamous

Now that i've played both (albeit in short amounts) im suprised to say i prefer Prototype, mostly because of one fault of Infamous, that being that most of the gameplay is shooting electricity out of your hand. That wasn't particularly fun for me. What was fun however, was the flying around, locking onto enemies and giving them a gigantic flying kick, not to mention throwing cars, the craters you leave when landing, running up buildings, and jacking tanks.

I side with prototype... mainly because even if the city looks lifeless, there is a ton of ways to explore the experience, more than what i seen in infamous. 

I also prefer the beat'em up perspective over the third person shooter one, though i like third person shooters.

"
This. the third person shooter aspect it definately what bugged me about Infamous.

If you can't navigate Manhattan, you got problems. I have no issues whatsoever finding my way through Prototype straight off the bat. As with anything, find a vantage point, look, go.

This is a bullshit comparison anyway. You might as well ask me to choose between GTA4 and Crackdown.

I haven't played prototype yet, but after seeing the quicklook I feel infamous is the better game.

Infamous is the better game indeed... but not as fun as prototype.

In prototype, though lacking in the visual department and without the good or bad sides, there is a ton of content and more powers than you'll ever use in one walkthru alone.
