Anybody bought Prototype?

[Flap Jack452]

Well Ain't ya just a lucky son of a.... Never mind everywhere I went today, and didn't find Didly didn't find SQUAT

I thin the availability depends on the area that you live in. I live in Atlanta so I'm guessing they sent a lot of copies my way.

Out in the U.S today. And I'm curious too, has anyone gotten their hands on it for some game time?

Yes, I'm a few hours in and it is fabulous, I have had no problems with it.

It was supposed to come out today round here. However, when I went to pick it up at the GameStop I pre-ordered at I was informed it was delayed until tomorrow. I called out of work today to get it. =/

I know, I am going to murder someone if it isn't in my hand tomorrow.

 

[Photon987]

I called my local gamestops to inquire about its availability, and all of them said it comes out tomorrow (despite pre-ordering, and despite the Prototype Site stating that it came out today). I then looked around online, and it turns out that all places - within 3 hours driving distance of my home - that are selling it won't actually sell any copies until the 10th or 11th. Even D2D won't sell it until tomorrow.

Yet another sleepless night of anxious anticipation.

6/9/09 is the shipping date, that retarded release date the publishers love to market. Always add 1 day to US release dates before you can actually find it in a store.

 

[loremazd]

Yeah, shipping dates 101: only the stores near enough to distribution centers to get same day delivery will get copies.

 

[CoverYourHead]

Im going to kill slaughter and pull a Alex Mercer just to get this game.....

DAMIT I SHOULD HAVE PREORDERED

There is no need to, the Gamestop I went to had a ton of copies.
But for some reason Best Buy thinks it comes out tomorrow.

It's because it's shipping today for most places, available tomorrow. At least, that's how it is for me.

 

[Kinguendo]

Pre-ordered it so I should get it tomorrow... yup, tomorrow. As it is 12:03am on wednesday now, so I have it... also I have heard that Ghostbusters is out at the same time, so I am getting that too.

 

[timmytom1]

It`s the 12th for all us U.K types and the only review i`ve seen of it speaks positivly of it so i`m now quite hyped.Question is ,this or red faction gueralla?

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Preordered it.

 

[Dresden]

I heard an embargo was put on reviews preventing them from being posted til next week.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

Wait, its already out?! Damn, am I clueless, or what?

No I'm in the same boat as you.
Picking it up tomorrow though.

 

[egwidalin]

As far as I know it will release Wed. the 10th here in the states, so don't know where you people are playing the game, but... it isn't out yet.

It is out in the US, i saw it at walmart earlier today, but i didnt buy cuz i usually like to see reviews first

 

[deletemeplease107]

I sent my mom to go pick it up while she was out on errands. She called me and said they didnt have it and they said it wouldnt be out til tomorow at 4. so i told her go to another store, but she said sno she has stuff to do... so i got to wait til tomorow

 

[BeighT]

I heard an embargo was put on reviews preventing them from being posted til next week.

Would you happen to know why?

 

[Lord George]

I'm torn between getting this and getting some new weights, I guess I'll wait for some trusted reviews.

 

[PureFlight]

But yeah, Prototype came out today, 6.9.09, in the states. It's already lunchtime, so SOME protoFan has to have gotten it already!

Sorry to let you down, but it is not released until tomorrow in the states.[/quote]

right. iiii'm an idiot.

 

[BeighT]

IGN just got their review up. I have not gotten the game yet, but I never really trusted IGN that much. It seems they review there games very seriously and don't take into consideration things like funness (not a word, but oh well) or it doesn't seem like they do.

Anyways here is the link for Xbox 360 Review: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/992/992950p1.html

i pre-ordered it at gamestop but i went i little while ago to pick it up and they didnt get the shipment yet so im waiting a little while and going again soon. Ill get back to you after i play it for a little

Ok I'm back. So Prototype was pretty fun. You start off with a shit load of powers for the tutorial then you flash back to when you wake up in a morgue with hardly any powers. Its a little buggy and in some fights its hard to see where u are but so far ive enjoyed playing it. I give the first couple levels an 8 out of 10 but i have a feeling that the game is gonna get a lot better once u aquire more powers so i would just get it

 

[hailmagus]

Wait, its already out?! Damn, am I clueless, or what?

It's released tomorrow where I'm at. I don't know buddy, I was able to play a little inFamous the other day and I'm pretty impressed (since the games are often compared to each other being extremely similar) too bad it's for PS3, though and me being a 360 man. But I don't see why a port wouldn't be possible in the future...

Sucker Punch develops exclusively for Sony. All the Sly Cooper games were on PS2 only.

Maybe... a lot of things have changed, and everybody has their price.

I looked on wikipedia and it says that it's gotten mostly positive reviews.
