It Shouldn't be a Competition! inFamous and Prototype

[Daveman]

And to back it up to show its 360 based whining, I don't think any PC owners care about Infamous Vs Prototype.

It's true, I don't.

I was considering buying prototype but I'm worried it's going to suffer from superman syndrome of being so stupidly overpowered that it won't be fun. I think I'll wait for it to come out before I decide to buy it...

I'm going to grab a copy of Prototype, then kidnap someone with a PS3...

Too bad that consoles aren't very popular in Estonia (Probably because they cost almost as much as a gaming PC here.) so i don't even know anyone to kidnap.

I would like to try out inFamous but Prototype is enough fun to keep me distracted, i'm actually got so distracted that i got 98% of the Web of Intrigue finished.

2)Infamous has received better reviews. Mixed with above point and you get a lot of bitchy fanboys for the 360 who suddenly realise their idea that they have more/better exclusives no longer flies.

One exclusive doesn't change the fact that both systems have good exclusives. If you really think inFamous changes that, then your more fanboy than you know.

In my opinion, what one game lacks in one area, it makes up in another.
inFamous has superior graphics, but the game play is chunky and inaccurate.
Prototype has 'meh' graphics, but, YOU CAN FLY.
It's obvious to say that of the two, I favored Prototype, but still, any sandbox games with super powers is like a dream come true.

You sum up quite nicely. Personlly I had no problem with the graphics in prototype, the have not detracted from my game experience while playing. inFamous' faults did detract a little, but still an OK game. If you asked me which is more fun, I would have to say Prototype.

I already got inFamous: my brother has a PS3 that I play it on.

It's wicked sick, but I still want to give Prototype a spin. So there.

I only care about Prototype. Why? Because I hate console exclusives... haaate.
PC exclusives are fine.

Isn't that a bit...hypocritical?

Wow, lot's of console hate from the above post. My question is, why?

Can you not afford one so you're super pissed that you can't buy exclusive games? How do you think people with bad computers feel when something grand for the PC comes along?

That's not me though. I've got my PC, PS3, and a love for games ranging all different categories. Can't we all just get along?

 

[Daezd]

I only played prototype because it came out for PC. I was going to play infamous, but for some reason its only released on a shitty console.

Console exclusives can go drown themselves.

Oh, and that "some reason" is because Sucker Punch is a first party developer for Sony.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

Infamous is better, but Prototype is available on more systems.

inFAMOUS being better, is your opinion, not an absolute fact.

 

[bodyklok]

Arguments aside, I think we can all agree that Prototype will outsell inFamous.

After all it is coming out on both the Xbox360 and the PS3.

 

[Gerazzi]

I'm white enough to buy both.

 

[Torque669]

Im a ps3 owner and I prefer Prototype over Infamous. Infamous has horrible moral choices and the only power is different lightning powers. Prototype > Infamous for that reason alone

 

[Charley]

I can honestly say I have no interest whatsoever in either game.

This is what's known as lesser-spotted Nintendo fanboyism

I suppose you think you're funny?

 

[GuerrillaClock]

No, dammit, it should!

People are never allowed to like TWO similar things, just ask the freak who liked Oasis AND Blur.

And don't even get me started on the Jackson 5 vs. the Osmonds.

 

[Charley]

That I do. The raaah console-hate thing does get tedious though, and what I was actually pointin out is you don't see any Wii owners throwing up hate over either game. Points for the speedy, slightly grumpy reply though :\

Well of course I'm going to be grumpy if you accuse me of being a fanboy, they are level with 4chan in my eyes.

 

[vultureX21]

In retrospect, I should have realized attempting to get people to see that rabid fanboy defense of a game for it's platform was stupid would result in precisely the sort of "pissing contest" I abhor. Regret even attempting to create a conversational thread, all the elitism that infests gaming has reared it's ugly head.

The only thing I agree with is that it is unfortunate inFamous is PS3 exclusive, just because it limits availability to people who don't have the console, which is probably the reason there is so much console hate being spewed from a few orifices. Still, it's unfortunate, not something worth all the hate-mongering.

But again, this is my own damn fault. Stupid, stupid brain. I think I'll stick to the webcomic reviews from now on...

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

Good point, although i'm not 18, so screw any chance of me playing prototype.

 

[Solytus]

I agree to some extent, especially due to the rather bothersome fact that an astounding amount of the arguments for prototype boil down to "The PS3 and/or system exclusives suck!"

However, I believe that the comparisons/competitions do serve a purpose. Well educated comparisons that actually note specifics regarding gameplay, graphics, ect. can be invaluable in choosing which game to buy. I was personally torn between purchasing either inFAMOUS or PROTOTYPE, and both garnered my interest, so reading the more well-informed arguments helped me make up my mind.

(BTW: I chose inFAMOUS, And I love it)
