inb4 'Graphics suck'.
It's alpha. It's GOING to suck. (I say this in advance because there are people who don't seem to know what exactly an alpha and beta ARE.)
OT: I like the dismemberment thing. Cut off something's arms and just kind of run around in circles, occasionally kicking it for laughs.

Less QTEs please.
I enjoyed Prototype a lot, but once the supersoldiers showed up it became a pain in the ass to have to switch from using the moves and powers I'd become familiar with to Press X To Not Die.
In general Prototype had a nasty habit of giving you awesome new abilities, then throwing new enemies at you that were virtually immune to said abilities. Hijacking tanks is fun, but I'd prefer it if it wasn't far far more effective than my innate abilities.

Oooo. Me likey. Can't wait for this.
And to those who think that the graphics suck:
A) It's an Alpha build.
B) Would you rather have a game with GTA IV graphics which probably wouldn't work in any conventional system(I'm talking about the PC anyway) considering the fast pace gameplay Prototype is known for?

Except the first game's graphics sucked arse in much the same way, making one wonder if the developers give a shit about the graphics at all. Mind you, I'm not whining about it or even saying it's much of a problem, but while the "it's alpha" argument is legit, so is the fear of seeing the same awful set of graphics again. Also, see Battlefield 3 alpha footage, then get back to me on how alpha graphics always suckKopikatsu said:
OT: Looks fun. I just hope the fucking around value stays the same or higher and they work in a good story. The protagonist-turned-antagonist angle seems very fresh and an interesting take with a lot of potential - I'm hoping they can use it and make something of the game in terms of narrative. Personally, I felt the cutscenes you get in the first game by 'eating' VIPs managed to tell a pretty decent story (certainly one a billion times better than the one told by the main quest). Fingers crossed on the guys who did that part being in charge of the whole story this time around.
They made it easier to switch between powers, actually. You can now set two offensive abilities to X and Y respectively, allowing for combos of mixed weapon types. Switching powers will be faster than before.SamuelT said:
You have to realize that the footage shown on this sight is not in HD; Every game will look muddy. Watch this same video at 720P on Youtube and you will be astonished- I guarantee it.Vrach said:Except the first game's graphics sucked arse in much the same way, making one wonder if the developers give a shit about the graphics at all.

Yeah... I'm guessing that their video editing team weren't paying to much attention for this...Abedeus said:
I never played the original prototype but I heard some good things about it.
Going by this trailer the sequel looks to be interesting and worth a rental once it has a bit more polish applied to it.
