Prototype 2 Debut Trailer

hopefully this game doesn't disappoint 

Hope they learned from the last game. Parts of it were good, most of it was crap

Been seeing a lot of conflicting reports on the new hero's name. I heard 'James Heller' when I watched the ad and Joystiq seemed to agree, but Kotaku and IGN reported it's 'James Allen'. What do you think? 
 
Also, I think this is a great way to follow up the first game. I really like the idea of controlling someone who has been effected by Mercer's actions because Mercer's story is largely over - he's completed his goals and he's on the run, it'd be hard to make him the (anti)hero again unless they were going to give up on story entirely and just have you kill the army for 8 hours. 

I'm game for more Prototype, but I don't like that what they've shown looks almost exactly like the current game.   2012 is quite a ways off, so hopefully that will change.

Sound like someone hit the Inception button a couple times during that trailer.

Can't be worse than the first one I guess. Few games were last year.
 
Feel free to use that as a box quote.

If they were to change the side missions to something more meaningful than score attack variants I might be interested in playing this.  How well did the first one sell?

Semi excited, didn't like it much, but was shocked that people though infamous was any good/better.

Can't wait!!! Super addicted to the first one when it came out, heh. Epic action!

Looks like the first one but with somewhat higher details on the textures and lighting. Which is what I dreaded when I first heard of Prototype 2 being a thing. Still far from a bad game of course..

2012 release? Preview in some April issue? Snore.
 
Looks like fun though.

Eeewww. Never played the 1st, but this looks like what would happen if The Thing had landed in New York...

Can't fucking wait! The idea behind the story is genius, let's hope they take full advantage of it.

I like that we have a gruff-talking black guy instead of a gruff talking-white guy in this game. Besides that, inception noises and the same uninteresting art direction. Yup. 

" I'm game for more Prototype, but I don't like that what they've shown looks almost exactly like the current game.   2012 is quite a ways off, so hopefully that will change. "

They should do some sort of contest to see who can flag the most spammers in a week. I think it'd be a blast!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHH

I am pretty tired of New York city in my open world sandbox games.

Whats with the hate on the first game? It could have been better but I still enjoyed it. It was pretty fun just destroying shit in crazy ways and flying from building to building.  
 
I wish them luck on this next game, but it looks like more of the same. They need to change something up. 

Yea, this has promise if they can get their shit together, but that never happens.  Still, should be at least a great rental.

Are we playing as this guy and not Blacklight?  I hope that's not the case.

" Yea, this has promise if they can get their shit together, but that never happens.  Still, should be at least a great rental. "

Who is this new asshole? 
Give me back my Alex Mercer.

None of that, while looking badass, did anything to alleviate my fears that what I hated about the first one is still in place: little variety in missions, almost nothing resembling a texture in the environment, and a completely crap targeting system. All that said though, I'd pay like, $30 to play it still a while after release if it's just a slightly upgraded version of the first one. It was fun enough for what it was.

Im glad you're not playing Alex Mercer again, what a generic boring character.

Prototype was a game with a ton of ambition but too many obvious flaws to ignore.  Looking forward to this and hoping that they iron out all the problems from the first game.

If they pull an Assassin's Creed 2 with this, I think we're all in for a treat.

This looks way too similar to Prototype 1. Same city, same models, and so far only 1 new character...doesn't look good for the sequel

I hated Assassin's Creed 1 with a passion, barely playing it for more than a couple of hours, yet I found AC2 to be fun as hell.  
 
Prototype 1 was probably the most boring, least interesting game I have played games in the current generation and almost all of the previous (props to Orphen, I guess), probably longer since I'm so careful about what I choose to purchase/play. I'm willing to give the sequel a shot hoping that it pulls an AC2 on me, but from the looks of that trailer... I doubt it will happen.

SO INCEPTIONY

I don't know why people keep saying, "I hope this game pulls an Assassin's Creed 2," when the first Assassin's Creed was better than the first; the first Prototype was awesome. Throw in a newer nicer engine, new game mechanics etc. and I can't wait. I imagine the same people who thought the first Prototype wasn't good are the same ones that thought it was hard haha.

kinda looks like they're releasing the same game again.

So they will go from New York to Jersey, put tons of tiny beer cans everywhere and give you twice as many limbs to attack with... 
 
Seriously though, this doesn't look good at all, for a debut trailer, this was complete garbage. Sure the first one was fun but was far from a great game. Adding hype devices such as the inception horn and a giant ape monster that looked oddly familiar from Infamous, yea... This dropped from my top 10 most anticipated games to my least anticipated game. Hopefully they can change my mind before then.

BRUUUUGHHHHHHHH!

My name is Sgt. James Heller and i shop at the same clothing outlet as Alex Mercer.

Looks good so far.  Alex Mercer was so unlikeable in the first game it only makes sense to want to kill him. I sure did.

The problem with wanting an AC2 jump from this is that Prototype wasn't even as good as Hulk: Ultimate Destruction which was really the first game in this series.

A lot of developers fix a lot of stuff between games. Besides, Prototype was mostly there, I don't see why they couldn't fix what was left, especially since we can assume they're using an engine they're familiar with, it's been in development for some time, and this one is still 2 years away. "

" @RsistncE: No, it's a fair assessment wanting a leap from Prototype 1 to 2 like AC 1 to AC 2 because they have similar issues. The first AC had tech issues, lots of draw in and the textures would go wonky from time to time, meanwhile Prototype had ridiculous amounts of slow down because of so much going on and did not have to worry about textures because it barely had any. AC1 had a terribly low amount of things to do other than run the environment and stab people and Prototype had, uh, run the environment, throw some shit and eating people, and some pretty generic trial missions. Where AC 1 at least succeeded was in that of its story, where PT's is pretty banal. But, if it can fix all those other things, the lackluster looking environment, generic missions, and a terrible targeting system, it could be good on top of being fun, which did not necessarily go together at any given time. And PT was most definitely not hard, except when gameplay issues (namely that crap targeting) reared their head. "
