    so why has activision done such a bad job at letting people know about the game? a lot of people haven't even heard about it and considering it came out today here, for the review embargo to end this morning sends a very sketchy message to gamers. 
     
    this is a game that deserves some press, a trailer now and again is nowhere near what this game should be getting and hopefully as we near the obviously more important us release we will see more push from the publisher.

    the game would be better if they allowed us to turn enemy soldiers into babies with the device and then step on the babies heads.

    This game is truly fantastic. It is quite special. I... just wow. It looks like bioshock. graphically.  
    3 bad points, Sound effects aren't to special and people don't look at you when they talk and some rare textures are hell of blurry rarely.  
    That's it, those are my only issues. 
    The game runs like a dream on my PC. And I can't wait to complete the story so I can get into the multi-player.

    I agree with this. I've played it on my 360, and I must say, I enjoy it.

    eurogamer gave it a good review. and Games Radar even made an article asking not to let Activision "bury" the game (for lack of marketing and not sending out preview copies and shit) because it's fantastic they say. Here it is Link

    That first 15 minutes got me interested but how is the framerate on 360, Raven has a horrible track record with unpolished games on console...

    Reasons why i probably won't buy this (until it's dirt cheap)...

    Multiplayer achievements

    Activision

    Pre-order bonuses 

    And potential dlc.

    i think the music in the game is great, there are some shoddy textures here and there but there is no loading screen whatsoever once you start the game.  
     
    if you like bioshock then you will most probably like this as it's pretty much bioshock lite but it feels fantastic.

    That's the one yeah. It reminds me of Cryostasis alot. Except it's not broken. And it's fully awesome.

    I fucking love time travel and time powers. Such a groovy concept. I heard the game is only like 5 hours (on hard!). Doesn't seem worth 60 bucks. Not all that interested in MP either.

    If it's any good I might pick it up second hand, because it's Activision.

    This game has had a weird history. Last year it made the cover of Game Informer but then got delayed out of the holiday season and was all but forgotten. One of the pre-order bonuses, at least at Gamestop, is a free copy of Prototype. In my experience whenever nobody talks about a game before it's released and they give away something substantial with it then the game is probably pretty terrible. I would be pleasantly shocked if it turned out to be good in any way.

    I don't think I've heard of this game until now, but after watching this video I'm really interested. Might be a purchase if the reviews hold up.

    Sad but probably true. Anything that isn't one of their "annualized" cash cows Activision Blizzard just seems to put out there and let it do whatever.

    a 4 star review seems pretty possible if it's jeff that's reviewing it, he sounded quite happy with it.
