Should I get inFamous or Prototype?

They're pretty cheap nowadays, aren't they? Just get them both.

Infamous for comic book-type drama (definitely a better crafted story), action, and fun super powers.

Prototype for pure destruction, mayhem, and violence.

Whichever sounds more appealing to you. I played both and preferred Infamous.

Infamous is the clear-cut winner. Just rent prototype.

I do like to fuck around a lot, but I like deep narrative better, although the web of intrigue intrigues me.

Probably gonna get inFamous.

I'm leaning more toward inFamous for the electro shock powers and combat in general but Prototype has my vote for absolute wanton destruction (imagine putting every player of GTA4 in one virtual city and give them god mode, infinite ammo and a rocket launcher that fires quicker than a fucking minigun)

Get prototype its non stop carnage start to finish, perfectly understands exactly what it's mean to be, even the vehicles rock

inFamous!!! Hands down. Prototype, is the Incredible Hulk wearing the Venom symbiote. Cool concept, but the overall delivery was kinda weak.

I haven't played inFamous, but I have played Prototype. If it's cheap, I'd reccomend it. Fun once in a while when you want to cause a vast amount of property damage and have little stand in your way. Gets boring rather quickly though.

I found them both a bit boring. Gameplay gets repetitive before long. Especially with inFamous.

Basically, Prototype has better gameplay, inFamous has better writing.

Well I'm a bit of a Sucker Punch fan so . . . inFamous. I just found it to be generally better then Prototype. I loved slinging around lightning bolts. I need to get a ps3 so I can play it more. (played it a lot at a friend's house)

Get both, and then hope that someday the two storylines will intertwine long enough for Cole to fight Alex in the single greatest super-battle of all time.

They're both two of my favorite games. Go for infamous though. More replay value, and better core gameplay.

I've played them both, and had fun with both, but Prototype is just so repetitive that it's ridiculous. Granted, inFamous is also pretty repetitive, but nowhere near as much.

 

[strongbow1075]

Get Prototype it was the most fun i have had playing a game since the first Assassins Creed

 

[lacktheknack]

Do what Yahtzee did in his most disturbing article evar and get both.

Ok I played the fre PS: Plus trial (1 hr. (technically 45 mins but I quit thinking the rest of the time would be saved--apparently not)) and found that it seems most of the powers require all good or all evil. Prototype is fun because of all the ways you can murder people and the fact that murdering people in this game is as creative as using vehicles and the hookshot in Just Cause 2 to kill people.

Prototype has lasting appeal and I've spent more than 10 hours just goofing off on it. Consider it a stress relief, considering you're practically unstoppable with consumption, disguises, and Patsy. Getting around is a bit easier in Prototype and your most powerful abilities aren't finite, as Cole's are.

InFamous is coming out with a sequel and only games that had "To Be Continued...", left plot holes, or did exceedingly well--InFamous did the third one and there's a bit more story to it, just be prepared to play the game twice to unlock the best Hero/Villain stuff because choices in that game are occasionally made only once. Cole does seem a bit cooler than Alex Mercer, but sacrifices coolness for speed. Yeah Cole can use electricity to get around but Alex can glide, super-jump, and sprint.

In the end it all depends--do you want to play a game that enhances gameplay but appears too easy, or a game that has choices that involve one-way paths that cannot be changed later on? Or you could just save up and buy both! Whatever works!

I have played both and I say Infamous. It is my second favorite game of all time. Good story, Excellent gameplay and Interesting characters. I would still rent Prototype.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

This is kind of cliche, but just watch Yahtzee's Infamous v. Prototype video. He actually sums it up pretty well, if memory serves.


But in my personal opinion, inFamous is a far superior game in every way.

 

[Generator]

I haven't played Prototype, but I freaking loved InFamous! It's easily one of my favorite games for the PS3.

Of course, I suppose it depends on what you're looking for, as Prototype, I'm sure, is much more fun in terms of pure mindless destruction. But I assure you, InFamous is well worth a buy.

 

[AngryPuppy]

Dude. inFamous totally, prototype is just balls-off-the-walls repetitive It just makes you feel over-powered with enough work..

I agree for the most part. Though I played inFamous quite a bit, beat it as Good and Evil. Prototype got boring pretty fast. Hell you start over powered and it only gets worse. Plus the graphics aren't that impressive IMO.
