I have an important question to ask to y'all : A person walks out of a theater, watches an excellent movie like, idk, Shrek 2 or whatever, and they're happy and it was a blast. Alex walks in, absorbs them, and watches the same film through their memories. Is that piracy?

Yes, so only slightly more sinful than wasting military funds.

And my mom who was usually hesitant about us being exposed to m or r rated media was just cool with that.

The best part about this game form was going "body hunting"- because playing as a girl because you're a shapeshifter is a thing, so finding the girl character in both games who wears a cool jacket or hoodie and taking her form for gameplay (before a mission cruelly takes it away from you by forcing you to assume the form of a generic, gas mask wearing enemy. And the worst part is the civilians spawn randomly and in "patterns" like GTA's cars, so finding a favorite can be impossible- and of course, late game when it's full on zombie apocalypse there are fewer, and fewer civilians unless you actively clean up infection zones.

[@Fluttersniper]

Prototype 2 had more refined gameplay, but Prototype is still the superior game, I think. The more compelling story about military conspiracies and secret government crimes drives more chaotic gameplay. Kill some civies accidentally? Doesn’t matter, you’re not the good guy. Find a military base? Raid it, you’re not the good guy. Save the city? Meh, guess we can be a good guy for once. There’s a feeling that you’re not even a real person, just a force of nature the fools in Blackwatch unleashed on the world-karmic retribution for trying to make a bioweapon powerful enough to bring down a country.

[@SaiyanKurosaki]

I feel the opposite personally. I think the story was better executed in 2, but the gameplay is much more deeper in 1. 2 felt far too dumbed down (minus the tendrills) imo, removed combos, less parkour and just less freedom to do cool tech. I think 1 had an amazing atmosphere too and there are some amazing concepts and themes used (look at the concept art for the game) but jsut weren't pulled off that well

[@ricemazter]

Prototype 2 had better presentation and some QoL improvements over 1, I feel. That said, I think 1 was generally the superior game in story and gameplay. The story in 2, I felt was really jarring. There's this crazy dissonance in 2 where I feel like we're meant to sympathize with Heller for being turned into a monster while still trying to be a decent-ish man and father, contrasted with Alex, who's rejected humanity completely. At the same time, though, Cole is doing the exact same stuff Alex is, carving through scores of former comrades and civilians with reckless abandon, and that never registers with him. In 1, it fits into the narrative perfectly as it's established that Alex isn't a good guy at all, and only cares about himself and revenge. And the twist is excellent because we learn he quite literally isn't human, just the virus given shape.

[@sebastianesquivel5011]

​@@ricemazterI agree with you, I think Heller still trying to be a decent human, yet, kills people almost without a thought, is the same reason Alex is the way he is, they're not "themselves" anymore, they're carnal versions of the virus. While Alex gave up trying to be "Alex" anymore, Heller still tries, because his human memories, or you could even say "soul", loves his daughter too much not to. I think that's why I like him more than Alex, he's like a werewolf, he's mostly human, but he gives into his monstrous tendencies, not cause he wants to, but has to. (I got the names Cole and Heller mixed up lol)

[@TDLBallistic]

Alex is morally gray. There's an achievement for eating as few regular people as possible; because Alex doesn't WANT to eat them.

[@dracosfire7247]

The only thing Prototype 1 did worse than 2 was the boss fights IMO. The atmosphere, the gameplay (mostly), the story, heck, even the leveling up was better in 1.

[@Dantethedemonkiller]

I gave my perspective on Prototype and Infamous on the vod but I'll give it again. Infamous is a modernization of classic superhero stories by DC, Marvel, and other big name comic companies about justice, love, and looking out for one another. It's of its time due to the fact it's a such a modernization of really simple ideas. This isn't me throwing shade, I love this about the game. Protype isn't a modernization of anything. It feels like it's picked directly from the pages of image comics, top cow, other sorta indie comic groups where they just publish whatever the writer of the comic wants. It's gorey and bloody and edgy because that's what the devs think is cool and you can feel the earnest enjoyment from the game. I prefer Prototype because 1. It runs at a smooth 60fps (infamous wishes) and has more interesting gameplay (I find the original infamous feels more like a cover shooter than a superhero romp), and 2.Because I love indie comics from supes to horror anthology and Alex feels directly ripped from the pages of Spawn or Witch blade or The Darkness. When people compare the two or say one ripped off the other it just makes me sad because it means they didn't play either game to see the differences. Both are great, and oh so different.

Penny's reaction to the game's opening is basically what my whole experience with this franchise was like, I was still young at the time the first game came out so a power fantasy game like this did so much for my entertainment at that age. Then the sequel came out when I was entering the edgy teen phase, so that provided even more satisfaction. For the longest time I hoped for a 3rd game even though it felt pretty concluded. I loved and still love this franchise and will always hold out hope for another game that captures the magic of these games.
