Let me first start out this thread with a disclaimer- yes, I did, in fact, use the search button to look up all the other Prototype threads, and while I realize threads about the game Prototype have been made before, I'm just trying to consolidate all of that info in one thread related to the game.

That said, for those of you who have never heard of the game in question, here's a Wikipedia link on the subject [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_(video_game)] and a Gamespot link relating to the general subject. [http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/prototype/news.html?sid=6208507&om_act=convert&om_clk=newsfeatures&tag=newsfeatures;title;2]

For those of you who want to know what's going on in a nutshell, basically Prototype is an open-world quasi-superhero game about a mysterious man/lab subject named Alex Mercer who escapes from a pair of scientists experimenting on him at the start of the game, who gained shapeshifting powers that allow him to turn his hands into giant claws and absorb the 'biomasses' of other humans, absorbing their memories as well, and is looking for revenge on the people that made him this way, in addition to finding out what's going on with the enigmatic plague wracking the city of New York that the game takes place in and the special military group investigating it.

So! Now that that's out of the way, the release date for Prototype is June 9th in North America, and June 12th in Europe. I'm not sure as to when it releases in other countries, but I'm sure the links above will contain some relevant info. So, feel free to use this thread for any and all discussion regarding Prototype the game in general, and what your thoughts are about it. Enjoy, and more info regarding Prototype in addition to thread info relating to it would be greatly appreciated.

I think it looks great; I'm really excited about the different superpowers you'll get to use and its gameplay has a lot of potential. *crosses fingers and waits for June 9th*

Anyone know if there's a list or general article about the different superpowers the hero of this game can get/use? I'll take another look, but other than shapeshifting a la Dead Space, I can't think of any off the top of my head.

The hell with multiplayer, Single Player looks awesome.
Damn I hope it comes out sooner, I've been waiting for this one for a damn long time. Then again if it will suck I'll personally kill the developers.

It looks good enough, too many games have been overhyped to really get me going about it though.

You can elbow drop a tank, run on walls while simultaneously ***** slapping Isaac Newton, glide and wear a sweet hoodie.
