Prototype

mikeglee

So, is it any good and/or worth investing in?

drunkmonkey

is it Assians creed 2, i'm a bit confused looks like the same charachter

Captain Chaos

I'd say rent it for a week or wait till it drops in price, I thought it would be a bit better. Some people have got it for €35 on Ebay.

no its a different game altogether lol.

You'd probably finish it in that week too.
Bought it today, fun game but nothing special.

Shryke

It's glitched on me once or twice where I had to restore from a checkpoint but otherwise it's a really fun game. Better than most of the stuff out there.

thielfer

it's a kind of mix:

appeal - assassin's creed
fighting/moves engine - wolverine origins
some influences from mirror's edge, running on the walls, big jumps
and "umbrella corporation" curse of a bunch of games released last time - mean virus and a'la zombies

just started to play - will write more when finish it

Yeah runs very well. Excellent game lots of "hur hur hur squishy humans hur hur hur" moments. But the difficulty spikes are insane. Fight big hard monster eventually win get new power that makes fighting them one on one more even, THEN fight 10 big hard monsters at the same bleedin time!!!!

Some levels you complete simply by walking from A to B

Keyboard probably isnt the best way to control the game, you get used to it but reckon a pad would be better (ps2 pad has issues with it).

Still the "hur hur hur squishy humans hur hur" make it well worth a purchase.

I unlocked one of the domination(?) moves last night. lots more big spikes to impale the silly squishy humans. The over the top aspect of it is what I quite enjoy.

thielfer

I'm not so far but that mayhem in military campus with following monsters was awesome...except that bleedin' "appearing from nowhere" soldiers

I understand that they are "consumables" xD but at least there should be cutscene like the one with monsters comin' through roof windows or something like that...

Praetorian

I'm a few levels in and it seems like great fun. Playing it on pc with 360 controller. Best way to play it I think

5uspect

Yeah, I can't imagine playing it without a controller.
I've gotten to the bit where

you lose your powers

.
That was unexpected and broke the (usually fun) repetition nicely.

Hahah that's how all our designers played it, so you might be right

my logitech chillstream ps3/pc gamepad doesn't really co-operate with prototype

so imagine that....I play with keyboard and a mouse o_O

Sephiroth_dude

Im gonna see if they have this in town tomorrow,How do you hook your xbox controller up to your pc?

thielfer

under windows xp or vista it should automatically install the device as windows has built-in driver for usb xbox gamepad

RobertFoster

A dongle is needed for the wireless controller though.

Just use the logitech profiler to map the buttons

Also, yes you need a wireless dongle to connect a wireless 360 pad to a PC, you can pick them up in Smyths or HMV. If you don't want to have to buy one separate then just make sure to buy a wireless 360 controller that has "for windows" written on it. It will come bundled with the dongle and also will work with your 360.

Playing through Prototype still atm. Word of advice. Complete all of the military consume sub missions as soon as they unlock. Trying to complete them later on in the game is an absolute pain.

Also, if you are going for the collectable trophy, I'd recommend collecting all of them at once with some online guide, as it will take you twice as long later on in the game trying to remember if you already collected it.

I've only ever seen them in Harvey Normans strangley enough. They were bundled with a wireless controller for €25 on their 50% Off table. Might be worth a look there if you can't find it in GAME/Smyths/GameStop etc.

Online, everywhere seems to be out of stock - Gameplay, GAME, Play-Asia.

thielfer

Logitech mapping software doesn't even find the stuff that's already visible in gaming controllers section in control panel

it's not the first game that rejects that gamepad as it's made for PS3 only

it's just a strike of luck that windows recognizes him and lets you use it in most games

some of them think that it's pc version of chillstream and shows xbox pad layout what is really confusing and doesn'y help as well

believe me I tried many solutions
it just works or not - this time unfortunately it doesn't work for prototype

it's not a problem for me anyway
I enjoy keyboard and mouse as I play a lot of games this way

P-Train

Finished the main story mode the other day, I really enjoyed playing it, but I think i'd only ever play it once, I'm considerin trading it back into gamesnash or somethin, invest in another game... But give Prototype a shot.

CutzEr

Yup same here, just finished it and I'll trade it in (in) the next few days.

5uspect

I have to say I'm quite enjoying it, the regular upgrades keep it interesting.

I'll probably finish it up this weekend. A mate is bringing back Ghostbusters from the states at the weekend too so yay.

Undead

Its actually good, its alot of fun, story is terrible though, i really don't care about the story or characters...like why would Alex's sister have a frickin safehouse!!

But it is fun jumping around smashing soldiers:)

thielfer

didn't finish yet as I play at least five titles simultaneously (PC and PSP)

anyway if it helps someone - works perfect on Windows 7

almost everything works there - used beta version and now running

primary system on ReleaseCandidate1 Ultimate without any issues...

sorry for offtopic

For those that have played Crackdown how does this compare?

Crackdown is a far superior game imo.

Gerpir Feilan

I've finished both and I liked them both. U cant really compare. There are things which i liked and disliked in both. Will try Infamous 2night, seams to be way better than both 2gether.
