Bundle Description:

Bundle includes Prototype® and Prototype®2 with DLC! PROTOTYPE: Discover what lies beyond the edge of evolution. Play as Alex Mercer, a genetically mutated shape-shifter with no memory of his past hell-bent on solving the mystery of his existence as he tears through a densely populated New York City moving with Parkour-style fluidity and consuming anybody that gets in his way... assuming their physical identity, memories and abilities. PROTOTYPE 2: WELCOME TO NEW YORK ZERO. Prototype®2 takes the unsurpassed carnage of the original Prototype® and continues the experience of becoming the ultimate shape-shifting weapon. A devastating viral outbreak has claimed the lives of Sgt James Heller’s family and transformed him into a PROTOTYPE. Powered by incredible new shapeshifting powers and abilities, you must hunt, kill and consume your way across the infected wasteland of New York Zero to take revenge on the man responsible: Alex Mercer. Download includes DLC.

I like the bundle name.

Enthus · Jul 14, 2015

I totally misread that as Prototype Blizzard bundle and got really confused for a second.

Kinsei · Jul 14, 2015

Talk about a stealth release.

Are the Prototype games any good?

sense · Jul 14, 2015

releasing tomorrow?!!!

Creaking · Jul 14, 2015

It's for Xbox One?

Remaster? Or something to do with the backwards compatibility?

RoboPlato · Jul 14, 2015

So it's out without getting officially announced? Amazing

BC games aren't able to be sold on the store yet and have big "Xbox 360" labels on them. This is just a remaster, I think

hawk2025 · Jul 14, 2015

...wat?

Is it downloadable or only pre-loadable?

That release date can't be right.

It's a port for PS4/XB1.

for some reason i always thought this was a PS exclusive. i was probably just confusing it with infamous

mediocre with ugly graphics and bad mission designs

but running up buildings is fun

jond76 · Jul 14, 2015

If there's graphic updates then this is bought. I really dig this series.

Kinda like that open world Hulk game on PS2 (Or was it 360?)?

hawk2025 · Jul 14, 2015

So, who's taking a chance?

Roldan · Jul 14, 2015

I read "Biohazard" and automatically thought it was something Resident Evil related.

Did you like Infamous, or Crackdown?

Jesus, $49.99!

Tesseract · Jul 14, 2015

awesome games, best open worlders of last gen

t26 · Jul 14, 2015

Am I the only one coming in thinking of Resident Evil?

jond76 · Jul 14, 2015

I maaaaaaaaaaaay. If its a straight port with no upgrades then I might not since I have both on 360.

Running around the world is super fun and assuming the identity of random civilians is hilarious!

The story is forgettable and the missions aren't all that great.

ODDI · Jul 14, 2015

And here I thought it was a resident evil collection.

Heller: I'm at the computer, what do I press?
Guerra: First you need to
Heller: I'm pressing the red button. Shit. Now the screen's all fucked up. Shit's broken.
Guerra: Okay, press the alternate key. "A.L.T." Alternate
Heller: Alt? There's no fucking alt. I got a fucking squiggly line key, I got a fucking key with a triangle on it what the fuck kind of keyboard is this anyway?

ShockingAlberto · Jul 14, 2015

Finally, we'll get to play RE1.5

I really liked Protoype 1, never played 2. The games make you feel like an utter monstrosity.

inpHilltr8r said:

Don't think Infamous is comparable, doesn't play like Prototype at all.

Sojgat · Jul 14, 2015

Cool.

I love these games. Will be interesting to see how minimal a makeover they've been given.

Banjo-Kazooie · Jul 14, 2015

$50...I almost spit out my drink. Would pay $20 max for this.

Same developers.

statham · Jul 14, 2015

only rented the first one, this is kinda tempting.

Same. Surprised by what it was and the stealth release.

was expecting Resident Evil 0 something

Collateral22 · Jul 14, 2015

Was just about to say, it's available to buy with a release date of 14/07/2015. Anyone confirm if it's the full game? Didn't even know it was getting a remaster.

Defect · Jul 14, 2015

They're fun games. Would buy a physical version.

twobear · Jul 14, 2015

that price...they're sending them out to die. kind of a shame because they kind of slay.

Alcoholikaust · Jul 14, 2015

going to have to wait on impressions of this "remaster" before even considering purchase. Avoided both games for reasons that evade me at this time-but $49.99 is steep for something I have avoided all these years.

I love Crackdown. Crackdown 3 is one of the main reasons I got an Xbox One.

Creaking said:

Oh neat.

Lord of Castamere · Jul 14, 2015

I wouldn't expect much, this is Activision. This was probably made by 3 unfortunate people with some duct tape and paperclips. High voltage can breath easy as this will probably be known as the worst Last gen remaster upon launch.

User 479360 · Jul 14, 2015

It's a bit pricey, but I like the name.

I missed Prototype 2, and have been wanting to play it, so I'll likely pick it up sometime. The first one was really repetitive but had its moments.

malfcn · Jul 14, 2015

I thought this was going to be the N64 build of RE0, d'oh.

Triggerhappytel · Jul 14, 2015

Not really. Poor controls, bad visuals, extremely bad writing. But there's definitely fun to be found in the complete OTT ridiculousness of it. Watch some footage on YouTube and if you like the look I'd say go for this bundle when it's less than half its current price.

Digital Snake · Jul 14, 2015

UGHHH, I read this poorly and thought this was a port of RE and RE2 for X1 :/

I think not announcing it is probably the bigger problem than the price!

We just had a massive trade show a month before release, Activsion had this big booth and no-one thought "Oh, maybe we should announce this game then"

More money than sense.

poor controls? i thought the controls were fine for what they were.

but god...the writing...

Nairume · Jul 14, 2015

May grab this on a sale. $50 seems much, given how cheap these games have been.

Jawmuncher · Jul 14, 2015

There goes my hope for this to be successful and get a 3rd game.

Dimorphic · Jul 14, 2015

I loved these two games! I didn't even know this was happening. Is it a HD remaster?

A new entry on current-gen hardware would be cool too, but the pricing is pretty brutal.

If you like open world superhero games (Crackdown, Infamous etc) then you should like these.

SkinnerSw33t · Jul 14, 2015

Looking at the screens in the console store, this isn't much of a remaster. I guess the resolution has been increased, but that seems about it.

I think targeting impulse buys rather than marketing it was probably the right move. I'll get it at some point.

Banjo-Kazooie · Jul 14, 2015

Is his just a straight port by FunLabs? The pics I've seen don't look all that impressive
