Same developers, so that's definitely the best point of reference.

I really enjoyed these games. Platinumed the second one. However, I'd love to see what kind of upgrades these offer... Gues we'll find out soon enough!

It's been a while since I played Prototype, but it felt pretty damn similar at the time.

If I remember right they came out pretty close to one another, so the comparisons were inevitable. Especially since inFamous was Sony exclusive, you had a bunch of non PS3 owners rabidly waving their rally towels for Prototype. At least, that's how it was on GameFAQs at the time.
To be fair, I thought inFamous was the better game, but found Protoype to be more fun.
I'm not expecting much honestly. Id imagine if it was major improvements it would have been officially announced already.

I was just going to say that. They should be available separately.
Played both of them and they felt very different. They both share open-world design with multiple traversal mechanics, but Prototype's core gameplay felt like a brawler while Infamous felt like a third person shooter. I remember the comparisons around their launch, and in retrospect they feel off base.
I read "Biohazard" and automatically thought it was something Resident Evil related.
ha same, I thought it was some weird Prototype Resident Evil cross promotion bundle.
Judging by the reactions to a leak near E3 this was a good call:

Probably thought announcing would just generate negative buzz anyway especially with the price some have a problem with. Perhaps they feel the less questions people ask about this game before release the better which doesn't bode well for the game.
Huh, nobody bought the Prototype bundle, I guess the demand for Prototype just isn't there

damn man, i want this to do well so we can get prototype 3 but $50?! yea right.
We put out a Prototype bundle?
I thought this was a Resident Evil thing at first. Pretty disappointed when I found out otherwise.
Anyways, I think Prototype might be the most unnecessary remaster yet. I don't think the games are good enough to warrant this. I don't even think the first game was good enough to warrant a sequel. But hey, more power to them. I just think they might be a year too late. There are enough new games now that I don't think people will keep buying remasters as much.

I would have played the fuck out of these 18 months ago but now? Eh. I'll wait for a super deep discount, same with GoW3.
They have separate trophy lists so I expect they will be separated for digital release at some point. No reason not to.

This couldn't possibly be more confusing. Is this a remaster or back compat? Also, who would actually pay $50 for Prototype?
Seeing as it's coming to PS4 too it's definitely a remaster. For two games that's not an entirely outrageous price but the fact that we haven't seen anything from it this close to release isn't reassuring.

Thanks for the info, I've seen nothing about this. Interesting move to say the least. I guess they assume that they'll get some impulse purchases by doing a stealth launch.
Who is this marketed towards?
Maybe I lack perspective, since I only played both games years after the fact, but neither Prototype title seemed all that great to begin with. Also both platforms have better (and cheaper) alternatives in the genre (Infamous, Sunset Overdrive, the Saints Row games).

WTF this is not the Resident Evil 0 prototype.

You can definitely fun in both of those but they're enough alike that I couldn't imagine going back to back with em. Hell, I never even finished either one.
But they're good for letting your inner rage-beast rampage through downtown.
And then there's that whole thing where you can dropkick helicopters...

Prototype is melee combat, running up and across skyscrapers, throwing cars, jacking tanks, devouring people whole and the like, powered by endless angst. Infamous and SO are more high mobility shooters, and Saints Row is more in the GTA vein, though I never did play the last two where you had superpowers - that might line up pretty well.
We?

Non PS3 owners had Crackdown, which was the first "superhero" open world game of the generation. Also happened to be the best one.

Saints Row 4 is $15 on PSN right now. It has super powers and it's open world and it's pretty good. Decent port as well.
Just saying.

Oh no
Watching this just killed my interest in buying this lol. Maybe because I prefer Prototype 2 and Heller.
Looks shit though lol.

I heard that port was pretty bad?
"Let's sell as many copies as we can before people realize the shit we're trying to pull."
I'm on a low battery so can't watch, but Wario himself said it looks nowhere near 60.
That's neat, but 50 fucking bones? The only way that price would be justified is if they were full-on remakes.
I should at least hope so for $50, especially since a potato can run those games at 120fps.

The first vid definitely didn't look 60, but I feel like that second vid looked pretty smooth.

Perhaps it wasn't meant to be released and accidentally got thrown up on the store?
It's happened before anyway.

Yeah, I saw that he's no longer so sure right after I posted that. *shakes fist at Wario*
