Prototype or inFAMOUS? - Blu-ray Forum

toms831 · 03-24-2009, 11:08 PM

The more updates we see the more they look the same. I think they both look great but that might be because I can't really tell them apart. With very close release dates, my question is which one are you going to buy if any?

inFAMOUS

I trust Sucker Punch more because they focus on good controls. Plus, in terms of power sets, I like having some limitations on what I can do. I think having too much freedom in a game is boring.

Shin-Ra · 03-24-2009, 11:31 PM

I don't understand the "they look the same" comments at all. Prototype looks like a pretty straightforward over the top action game whereas inFAMOUS provides free adventure with sidemissions, story that may actually be worth paying attention to rather than just filling a gap, greater depth to pretty much everything.

And while inFAMOUS probably won't win awards for its graphics, at least it looks current.

inFAMOUS just becasue i prefer "sandbox" style gameplay

u_nick · 03-24-2009, 11:56 PM

I'm more interested in iNfamous right now.

Prototype has potential, but looking a bit dated right now for me.

Gamma_Winstead · 03-24-2009, 11:59 PM

I think I'll get both but I KNOW InFAMOUS will be better.

toms831 · 03-25-2009, 12:04 AM

shin-ra: you don't think that the story lines are similar with the "every-man" given super powers all of a sudden and then having to develop these powers for either good or evil while in a open-world metropolis. Not to mention both have very altiar, assassins creed, like movents (climbing, jumping, falling, free-running). I just see far too many similarities to justify getting both.

Blu-Generation · 03-25-2009, 12:48 AM

inFamous, the other one I haven't really been keeping up with.

kingofgrills · 03-25-2009, 05:11 PM

I'm more interested in inFAMOUS given the open world nature of the game. However, I must admit the videos I've seen haven't impressed me much at all. The controls will have to be spot-on for the gameplay to be successful, and I just think it may misfire like Force Unleashed.

I'm waiting for reviews on it, and probably for a few price discounts too.

DezNutz · 03-25-2009, 05:35 PM

inFamous looks solid.. cannot wait to get my hands on that.. never even heard of prototype.

Xerios · 03-25-2009, 05:38 PM

people are gonna say infamous because theres 10x more information out now, i voted for prototype because of the video trailer from last year =P

Shin-Ra · 03-25-2009, 05:39 PM

I think there's 10x more to speak about with inFAMOUS.

fsavoie · 03-25-2009, 05:43 PM

Prototype is not a sanbox game like infamous? I had that impression.

saddonniedarko · 03-25-2009, 06:04 PM

Yea, pretty sure they are both open-world. I'm going to go with prototype. Incredible Hulk: Ulitimate Destruction was a blast, I'm sure this will do just as well. Though infamous does look pretty good all I've seen is a guy shocking these people with red hoods and no faces. These two games will be almost identical I feel.

Xerios · 03-25-2009, 06:13 PM

prototype looked like an open world, almost like spiderman 3 but this guys powers are sicker

fsavoie · 03-25-2009, 06:26 PM

From some of the trailer I saw prototype had a "resident evil feeling"
But I think overall infamous will be a more polished game

Then, you haven't read enough (or hardly anything) about inFAMOUS IMO.

Shin-Ra · 03-27-2009, 05:37 AM

inFAMOUS shots are supersampled but still, people actually confuse these games for one another?

Blu-Generation · 03-27-2009, 05:45 AM

If that bottom one is Prototype, it looks extremely bad. That looks like, well, a prototype.

Havok83 · 03-27-2009, 07:24 AM

definetly Infamous. The developers showed an alpha build of Prototype on Gamepot last year that turned me off from that game. I dont think they should have released footage that early
