Prototype is a fun game. It's an incredibly flawed game, but a fun game nevertheless. At least that's what I think I'm getting myself into but I haven't played Prototype in 13 odd years so, I may be completely wrong. There's only one way to find out, so after all these years how does Prototype hold up today, is it worth your time revisiting or playing for the first time and simply is the game as good as I remembered? Let's find out!

While the story wasn't the greatest and the combat was alright I still love this series for the traversal alone. To which I think Prototype 2 does all of it a bit better.

Prototype 2 is pretty good with the whole "traversal" thing as well... Really, the traversal of the game kinda makes the vehicles redundant... But then your forced to use them, which is kind of baffling, but I guess the developers REALLY liked tanks and helicopters . inFamous had a pretty good travel scheme too, but this series had a little bit more freedom of movement over it... (inFamous needed powerlines.. The two prototypes... Not so much).

Pretty much agree on all fronts here. I genuinely adore the world of Prototype. Learning about the virus in game and stuff online always fascinated me. Web of Intrigue was excellent, was never forced but gave more context, with just enough information to get an idea or create your own when not all the information is available at that time. Saying the characters were the problem is actually the thing that I always felt was iffy, however never realised until now. It was never cringy to me personally, it just felt flat. Like those a really bad anime dub, just barely any care but enough to get the job done. Side content was pretty ass, I've gotten all the platnium medals on all the challenges and fucking hated every second of it. Using stupid as hell tactics to get the most points (for example you use a tank and destroy others, you just hijack tanks in the area and put them next to where you spawn and get instant points.) Prototype 2 100% does it better with making them more natural, just randomly finding them and the rewards are always worth it. Wish there were more narrative driven side content. Difficulty is fucking ass, again I've beaten the game on hard, no deaths and not consuming civilians(no deaths was different run) and yeah, I've practically fully found out how to cheese areas and bosses to get past areas. Supreme hunter was 10 minutes of jumping and whipfist, Elizabeth was just muscle mass and tanks, final boss was muscle mass and random missions in between. The hunters are the worst with stun locks, staying in the air is the safest place. I'll always agree that the blade and whipfist were too op, however nerfed too hard in 2. If the game ever got a remake, better dialogue and voice actors for story, less horrible mission design, interesting side content, balancing enemies and yourself are my top ones.

I definitely remember liking this game a lot when it came out but on replaying it recently I felt the same about the story being overall an interesting concept but the cutscenes feeling just bad. I agree with the difficulty at points and that one tank hijacking mission is why I don't play the story anymore. It is a fun sandbox game to kill a little time and if I want a little more structure I try to get platinum medals on the side missions but even those are just kinda meh, I'll usually just do one or two each time I boot it up if I feel like it. I still like playing it every so often just because running around is so fun and you can just create your own chaos mucking about the city. There were definitely a lot of interesting ideas that gives the game a ton of variety to mess around with but it feels like an overall lack of focus in much of anything besides maybe traversal that everything just lacks a little bit of polish. Great video and well scripted, you hit the nail on the head for my personal thoughts on the game for sure. Can't wait till your Prototype 2 retrospective.

I do wish you talked a bit about the soundtrack as well, but I guess the story and gameplay mechanics are more up your alley. As a music guy, I can never not gush about a game's soundtrack, and for me, Prototype's soundtrack was not only extremely fitting for the world, cinematic in many greats ways, and pretty unique for game's at that time imo, but they had a nice shift in the sequel. I have a preference for the original soundtrack as it's just more memorable imo, but the sequel's was fitting for that story since the protagonist and mood of that game was definitely not as bleak or "origin story" heavy as the first game.

Prototype has that old school difficulty spike. New thing comes around. It destroys you for sometime. You don't know how to beat it. Then you find it's weak point. Then it's a piece of cake. You can actually complete the whole game without using the Blade and Armour once. Thanks to Musclemass and Hammerfists. Only thing that stays pretty useless are the claws. Cause you are not fighting human size enemies after like the first sequence.

There's an alternate dimension where this got the budget and the horribly overrated Infamous didn't. The Fundamentals of Both Prototype and it's sequel (which i much prefer, more variety of missions, more refined abilities and not ridiculously frustrating like this game could get) are just so sound, It took till the PS4 for infamous to feel good to play like Prototype. Not just combat/traversal the way the conspiracy targets would give you little narrative crumbs was so compelling, and although the open world stuff was super copy paste the way the world was so plunged into chaos really drove you to do it. It's just that Radical didn't have the budget to deliver, core story missions were just open world stuff, combat had potential but lacked interesting enemies to fight, stealth again had massive potential but enemies didn't have patrols or anything and the world lacked detail in how you could interact with it.

So I have just beaten Prototype today, and uh........well....... In all honestly, I really did like Prototype earlier, the idea behind Prototype and the feeling of being a powerful demon was so cool. I also found the gameplay to be fun as well, being a Sandbox very much like GTA/SR/JC and a few others, I really do like the since of freedom that the game gives you and, while I didn't do all of the side missions, there's a huge replay value that makes it fun to replay again and again. Despite that tho........the later parts of the game were a bit.......ughhhhhhh, and the reason is simple.....its difficulty. While I do like a challenge, Prototype just got too brutal near the end game, and while I wouldn't call it as brutal and hard as Lost Planet 2, there were many missions and bosses that really....REALLY got under my skin, the last stage before the final boss in particular was also HUMUNGUST pain in the ass. Overall, Prototype is a bit of a mix-bag for me, I do LIKE the game, but there are too many elements that hold it back, chef of which is its difficulty and its lack cluster bosses. I am looking forward to play Prototype 2, tho I just hope its' difficulty is more....balance then previously.

I personally didn't mind the dialogue that much, it at least didn't stick out to me enough to remember it as bad. I'm sure the bruding tone is emphasized alot with this game as a whole, revels in being grim. If anything I think a lot of the dialogue from both alex and the new MC in 2 war far more cringey and try hard as they doubled down on the dark tone to a ridiculous degree. The most this game annoyed me with were sudden difficulty spikes and obnoxious side activities. The biggest sin in any game trying to have a lot of "content" really.

What I'll say in regards to 2's dialogue is overall I found it a lot better at least funnier as opposed to try hard but when it's bad (mainly with Alex) it is dreadful.

@@MayorHairBear honestly I hated both James and Alex in 2. Idk, there were like some funny dialogue moments but overall I just found Heller supremely unlikable and Alex's shift into a total villain was far too sudden for my taste. Even with the tie-in comic that takes place between 1&2. Seems this series has always had trouble with writing one way or another.

Controls are admittedly clunky, but honestly I think this game gets ragged on pretty heavily which is unfortunate.

Prototype 1 & 2 where great games.....it just it got purposely forgotten compared to its predecessors success such as "Crackdown 3", "Spiderman", "Marvel The Hulk" & "Infamous"..... unfortunately this game didn't age well...the graphics is very 2 gen ago, the open world gaming is slowly declining for more open environment linear game play.....& the game quietly found a whole & it crawled in it & doed off...... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
