Dammit, I didn't read the thread title properly and thought this was going to be something Resi-related

 

[Warablo]

Prototype 2 might be fun replaying..

 

[Corpekata]

I read the title wrong and thought this was a legitimate Biohazard and now we're all exposed to Anthrax by being in this thread, oh no.

 

[Fox Mulder]

the first Prototype was really good. i had a lot of fun with that one.
i'll get this sometime down the road.

The story sucks, controls can be awful, and the graphics aren't that great with some bad lows, but the game play is fun. Never did try the second though.

 

[ekim]

Will buy for Prototype 1. Such a fun game <3

 

[stryke]

Protoype was interesting for about 3 hours. There's some nice ideas in there but execution was poor.

 

[lupinko]

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

It was made by the same people too.

 

[John Bender]

Talk about a stealth release.

Are the Prototype games any good?

Terrible games, imho.

 

[a.wd]

Loved this way more than infamous, also controls were great, watching chaos unfold is just awesome.

Also it falls in line with my next gen remaster policy of only if it's a bundle.

But it does need to be 1080p and 60 to get me to part with my hard earned.

If not then it really was sent to die,and the series deserves better.

 

[lighthouse777]

will buy it

 

[dh4niel]

Wow. Looks like dog doo. No wonder it's a stealth release.

 

[nate75]

Bare minimum port, pretty decent game though

 

[nortonff]

omg....

 

[User 479360]

I think I'll just stick with last gen for Prototype 2. I'm not paying an arm and a leg for a half-assed port.

 

[E92 M3]

I love these games, but this is a huge rip off. At $25 I might have thought about.

 

[Gothos]

Available in EU?

 

[antitrop]

Yup, that looks like Prototype, alright.

 

[Diablohead]

Dammit, I didn't read the thread title properly and thought this was going to be something Resi-related

I confused myself for at least 20 seconds before clicking the thread, I was in a state of "... what???"

 

[Lgndryhr]

May get this for PS4 if it comes out and hits a decent price. Enjoyed the first one and never played the second one.

 

[Green Wiggly]

Protoype was interesting for about 3 hours. There's some nice ideas in there but execution was poor.

Yep. Found it to be a terribly bland and disappointing followup to Hulk Ultimate Destruction.

 

[Azzawon]

Pretty damn expensive for a port. I'll wait for a sale, I never got around to playing it on 360.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

This should be like $30, what the hell are Acti thinking...

They are probably thinking that they are still charging $60 MSRP for the PC versions ($20 for P1, and $40 for P2 on Steam) so from that perspective they are saving people $10 by picking up the bundle. Yes, those games would be lower during a Steam sale but then again this game will be lower during a PS4/X1 sale too.

 

[Shia_Labeouf]

50 dollars is almost as funny as how many people are "confused" about this thread.

 

[Neuromancer]

Bare minimum port, pretty decent game though

Ouch. That is super rough looking, I was hoping for proper remasters.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

if it is not a remaster- what the hell is it- why does the PC release look better?

 

[E92 M3]

I hope these type of cheap cash-ins fail.

 

[sonto340]

I could have sworn I heard that prototype 1 and 2 were getting BC updates today a while back. Am I going crazy

 

[JigglesBunny]

So, someone with the port, 1080p/60fps? That's all it'd take for me personally.

 

[derExperte]

if it is not a remaster- what the hell is it- why does the PC release look better?

P2's PC version is the stuff of nightmares, runs crappy, has severe memory leaks etc. If they've done a straight port they probably had to dial some stuff down even further to get it running reliably.

 

[Corpekata]

So, someone with the port, 1080p/60fps? That's all it'd take for me personally.

There's no way they're stealth releasing this with actual real improvements like a locked 60 FPS, at least for P2.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Swear to god I've clicked into this thread like 4 times and each time I think it's about Resident Evil.

 

[Creaking]

Any word on how it runs?

 

[hydruxo]

First game was one of my biggest regrets in gaming. I remember being so excited for that game then reality set in when I actually played it.

 

[pete_clarf]

Prototype 2 is sitting in my PS+ backlog, probably never to be played. I did intend on playing it at one point because I found a strategy guide for it at a Goodwill for $1.

 

[E92 M3]

I absolutely loved both Prototype games and think they delivered the power fantasy most games fail to.

 

[Black Pewter]

Why bother with this when people want the Modern Warfare 2 remaster 100x more?

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Why bother with this when people want the Modern Warfare 2 remaster 100x more?

Honestly? Probably because they want you to buy Black Ops 3. Meanwhile...

"What wonderful open-world IPs do we have to Remaster for these starving gamers?"

And all they had was fucking Prototype.

 

[neogaffer1]

Could a mod add "(Not Resident Evil)" to the title? So many people just coming in and complaining that they thought it was about RE.

 

[Diablohead]

Looking at those screenshots I have to wonder why they did this, wonder if the news of backwards compatability at E3 soured them a little bit since they would have been finishing this port job up around then.

They would've known about BC before it was announced. Probably still put this out knowing that someone buying this allows them to make money vs. used copy of Prototype.

 

[Steverulez]

Well, PS4 doesn't have that BC option so I think from their perspective it might have been worth doing just for that, and obviously an XB1 version wouldn't be too difficult to do if they're doing it for PS4.

I doubt BC really had anything to do with it. Just Activision being cheap as usual

 

[baphomet]

I would never buy this at $50, but I thought I would check Steam and get them on the cheap. 1 is $20 and 2 is still $40. That's insane. 1 was alright when it first came out, but 2 was even mediocre when it released. Guess I won't be playing them again anytime soon.

 

[akilshohen]

You still have to wonder why did this come out.

Is there a third one coming out eventually?

Spoiler

that's gonna be done by platnium since Radical got a size reduction

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

They're fun games. $50 seems a bit much.
