Poll: Ending of Prototype [Spoiler Warning]

[Traun255]

Ok i just finished prototype on friends Xbox360 me and my friend clapped it was pretty good how he lived idk that just makes me happy seeing him live and all and how he lived because of the crow pretty clever and pretty hard end game boss i loved the game. I wouldnt mind playing it all over again wich i just might

Anyone else Personal thoughts on the game and ending?

 

[traceur_]

I liked it, it seems like a decent set up for the sequels if the rumours are to be believed.

 

[hypothetical fact]

It was obvious. This is a game made by Activision, a company that stated that they weren't interested in games they couldn't franchise. There are additional hints and foreshadowing if you bother with the web of intrigue, until the game beats you over the head with:
Pariah is top secret. Pariah is the ultimate form of the infection. Pariah could cure all known disease. Pariah is the next step in human evolution. There would be cataclysmic results if mercer ever met Pariah.

Also Elizabeth had more than enough time to virus up Dana while she was kidnapped so you can bet that will be in the sequel too.

 

[Traun255]

That can be a good sequel but probally going to need a new Main Character

 

[jasoncyrus]

Actually Alex was the ultimate form of the virus, after all he killed pariah. Pretty easy to work that out. If pariah wasn't the last boss then it's an unexplained point of interest which generates more questions, like who else is a supreme hunter?

Dana being infected wouldn't make for a very good sequel unless she was going to simply die from it and cause a cataclysmic worl ending event via that death.

Mercer going toe to toe with the creator of the super soldiers would sound like a better follow up fit to Prototype. After all, the super soldiers are a human advancement using the virus. Mercer is simply the virus taking human form.

Pariah was Elizabeth's baby and never left old one arm to appear in the actual game. However it is confusing because nobody knows wtf Captain Cross was supposed to be. Considering that we see Cross then later see Elizabeth vomit the supreme hunter, then see the hunter regenerate, before seeing Cross turn into the hunter. I'm speculating but Cross could have been absorbed by Elizabeth or by the supreme hunter after it regenerates. Nobody knows.

It takes a good 50 web of intrigue targets before you find out about Pariah and even then the old geezer who came up with the biotox is told that Pariah is classified by old one arm, though one arm will openly talk about Elizabeth and Mercer. So Pariah must be something more important than those two.

ya ubisoft does that alot leaves with no closure thats why they always make sequels. i think i remember them talking about a new place of testing the virus but im so tired cant remember


but onto sequel idea Alex should seem like idk darker after this since he has all these dieing/dead people in him or sumthing or come to a emotional wreck and decides he is to crazy to live among society after he thinks the infection is gone he like goes into this desert place all alone and stuff but then like errrr Dana? i guess tries to find him and warn him about it but she should be like haflf infected or suthing and like wounded and die by Alex and his crazyness just breaks and he wants revenge on virus??
idk but this seems good i copyright this

I knew this was coming so i will explain the train of thought.

Pariah is born, the general takes him away and takes him under his wing. This we know, he's a top level top secret project that pretty much only the general knows about. He's the only one whos been able to catch, never mind kill runners on his own. This would be explained by his hunter form. This is also indicated in his and the general's last speeches, when cross says once he kills you everyone who knew about him will be dead. Which suggests that the general knew about him.

Thus the link is as follow: Pariah born>claimed by genera>develops human form>trained as hunter>general killed by mercer>mercer kills pariah since mercer is a superior strain of the virus.

He cant get revenge on the virus because mercer IS the virus, this is pointed out quite a few times.

But we don't have any proof or web of intrigue clips that show us that Cross is Pariah. He could be Pariah but he could also be the supreme hunter that used Cross to get in a position of power. Why didn't Cross mutate the first time they fought and why was Cross trying to kill Mercer with Cancer and bring him in when he says at the end that by consuming Mercer, he will be the ultimate infection form. This points at the supreme hunter using Cross as a disguise after that boss fight.

Your theory just doesn't explain how Cross managed to go from being in human form to being spit out by Elizabeth as the supreme hunter. I doubt that there were two supreme hunters given that we see the first one regenerated at the end of the fight.

sorry got carried away

 

[richard misiak]

its says in the strategy guide that the supreme hunter was created from the parasite on mercer, then created by greene, once defeated mercer stepped on a puddle of it and it absorbed some of his dna, it then absorbed cross

That is so convoluted and poorly shown in the game. Either way now we know that Pariah will be in the sequel.

 

[timmytom1]

Not a bad ending certainly better than alone in the dark ,as for a sequel ....Maybe following the further spread of the infection to ,i dunno washington say? and the millitary`s further attempts to rid themselves of alex (well,i guess he is alex now) and it`ll prob eature new enemmies ,or perhaps mercer coming to lead the infcted (not sure how leave the plot hole to whoever wants it ) on his quest for revenge

The proof is simple common sense and its fairly easy to make the connection between the two. After all during the first fight, the hunters didn't go after him. PLus as I stated, only the general knew about him at that time so it would've been foolish for him to change forms infront of regular military in that first battle. Plus at that point you hadn't fully developed our abilities so you were a sub-standard version of the virus compared to him.

ya it is mainly common sense cross is Pariah everything points towards it and all i bet he even says it at one point

Don't forget: Alex wants to meet Pariah, Doctor Ragland has a past with the virus and this game has a lot of untapped potential (in terms of gameplay and story) which they'll probably use in the sequel.

Also, on the Captain Cross bit some of you are talking about: The same PoV shot is taken when Cross is attacked as when The Supreme Hunter reveal himself. From this, it is assumed that Cross is consumed immediently after talking with The General, his squad being decimated.
