Poll: Poll: Infamous or Prototype?

[ChaoticLegion]

Prototype. Even if it is pretty much ripping off The Darkness.
But I only vote for it because its on PC. If a game ain't on PC it can go frack itself.

I second this, don't waste my time with consoles.

 

[megapenguinx]

I'm getting both. They remind me a lot of Spiderman 2 and I loved that game.

 

[Smokeydubbs]

Both look sick. I have a PS3. I'm getting both.

Well Prototype has rediculous big black spine thingies, shapeshifting and the like. Still, InFamous has electricity, and you're not immune to your own power so it has limitations as well, blackouts also making you a bit more vunerable. Thus it feels like both games could offer half-decent stealth elements unlike most other games that attempt this while still offering interesting and in-depth superpower manipulation that does allow for what are effectively rampages. Just depends what floats your boat, really.[/quote

It doesn't matter because Prototype was ended. They halted development. I only vote for it because I would rather it be released than infamous.

It was actually picked up by Activision and is gonna be released later this year.


EDIT: On topic I'd go with Prototype, as I think it looks the better of the two.

Yeah isnt it June 15th or something>?

 

[Orange Monkey]

I'd say Prototype, i've seen some gamplay vids of both, and Prototype seems more adaptive and faster paced.

 

[nathan-dts]

I hear lots of people say they are looking forward to Prototype ( me included) but Infamous looks wicked too, only problem is its only for ps3.

Which do you think is better?

You know that Prototype will win this poll because 360 owners can't play inFamous.

 

[bodyklok]

WHy does the title say "Poll: Poll: IF or Pro"?

 

[Fingerprint]

Prototype, because I have a PC.

And because it'll be FAWKING AMAZING! Even if it fails, it will be fun to just mess around, killing people and destroying the town.

^This.

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

Prototype diffenetly.

 

[Ripshot]

They both look awesome and I'm sure Sucker Punch will make Infamous good, but personally I'm leaning towards prototype, it's just faster and looks more fun to me.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Prototype. It looks a lot more... varied than inFamous. You can do a lot cooler things than just shooting lightning.

 

[Irridium]

I'm getting both, but if I had to choose it would be whichever one is released first.

Both seem more or less the same to me.

 

[Vlane]

Prototype. I will buy both because I like killing enemies with lightning but Prototype looks a lot more fun.

 

[EvilMaggot]

If a game ain't on PC it can go frack itself.

Hell yeah!

Doesn't the fact that it is on the PC mean its likely to be an awful game? When was the last time a sandbox console game had a non-horrible port to PC?

GTA: SA.
Even then it crashed occasionally.

Didn't that get screwed over cause they had to purge the entire thing of hot coffee?

That was before my time. I bought it after that whole debacle.
Anyway, the point is, it wasn't a horrible port, save the instability issues (which seem to come with every game nowadays.)

Now we're just extending the definition of bad port. I'm talking about one that was as good as its console equivilant.

GTA IV..but only if you got the hardware that can catch up in ur PC

Well, whatever, I'm just saying, even if you discount peoples continual logical failings of saying that the PC is by definition superior to any console, saying a game will be better because a version will be on PC is a majorly dumb thing to say, considering how games on PC's have always acted.

well first of all... you need the hardware to run specific games... like my Duel Core im soon gonna replace with a Core i7... but atm it run games like **** xD
and then there's the normal Blue Screen of Death, Virus, errors and what not to get games to crash on a PC but im getting Prototype on PC (also because i dont got a PS3 or Xbox... but wouldnt get the game for Consol even if i had one of those i only want a PS3 for 3 Games sake..)

 

[Booze Zombie]

It may be obvious, but Prototype has hooked me more than than inFamous.
Prototype seems to have a lot of variety, a lot of options for play.
inFamous is like "you can be good or evil and... um, there's electrity".

Maybe inFamous just has terrible trailers? Either way, I'm just not impressed by it.

 

[Booze Zombie]

If you're gonna say it that way, Prototype is "You can use blades....yeah".[/quote]

Hey, it's not like inFamous is showcasing much in those trailers. It's a guy hanging from the sides of things and chucking lightning. Someone wake me up when he's done cowering in a corner from the big-bads in stupid masks and yellow coats.

Prototype, you've got options. It's not good or evil or something insignificant like that, it's "okay, so... do I disguise myself as one of them and preform subterfuge or build up my power and go hulk or hijack a tank/helicopter."

I'm sorry, but inFamous does not look exciting in those trailers. I guess it's just one of those games that's boring to watch, but if you're playing it you're like "hey, I like it".

 

[Fightbulb]

If you're gonna say it that way, Prototype is "You can use blades....yeah".

Well, blades are cooler than electricity, so it still wins.

Anyway, I'm all for Prototype, even if I did own a PS3 I still wouldn't buy Infamous.

 

[GloatingSwine]

Like I said, ther thing has a divergent powers structure, so they can't show the major advancements that happen and can't be accessed by the other side.

Why not?

That never stopped any of the trailers for every other game that has done the same thing, all the Star Wars games where you get light/dark exclusive powers, Fable, etc etc.

Apologist bullshit is not helping. No matter how good the actual game turns out, inFamous has bad trailers.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Like I said, their thing has a divergent powers structure, so they can't show the major advancements that happen and can't be accessed by the other side. That's why they can't show off the electro puppetry zombies, the life absorption, the torturing enemies to get information, or anything like that.

I don't feel like I do come across as hating Prototype, but if I do, there's really one simple answer - Activision.

You do feel a bit like you hate Prototype, but it might just be me taking what you're saying the wrong way.

The Dev team behind Prototype is not terrible (nor is Prototype) just because Activision are money sucking splooge monkeys.
They're just the guys giving the funding, the devs are the real source of a game's quality.
I mean, I think Sony is The Devil, but that doesn't make Sucker Punch The Devil too, right?

Anyways, Prototype is a game where you're a bio weapon with a massive array or weapons, defensive powers and abilities for sensing things (such as heat vision).

inFamous is a game about a guy who parkours around New-I mean, Empire City (or whatever it's called), uses electricity based powers and makes cookie cutter "good/evil" choices. It is also noted for having boring trailers.

They are two separate games, their similarities are the time frame of release (this year, I do believe) and that they're sandbox.

Prototype sets you up as a morally ambiguous anti-hero (the very nature of your powers could be described as "not very nice" at best), where as inFamous sets you up as a Joe average who's got electricity powers, is given choices about how he should use them and is noted for his Solid Snake impersonations.
