Video: Prototype is out of beta
Another world premier trailer has come straight out of Spike's VGAs and it's from the game Prototype from our jolly good lads over at Codemasters. And like McDonalds, we're lovin' it. Prototype looks good and, dare we use the term, badass? We're not sure about the game's specifics, how engaging the storyline will be or how the gameplay mechanics will play out, but the trailer has sucked us in. Heck, even if you don't hover towards the optimistic end of the Prototype spectrum, you have to admit that Codemasters can throw together a pretty satisfying trailer. Which is more than can be said for Vegas 2. Oh, snap!

This looks like assassins creed mixed with crackdown with a little crack thrown in... I am intriqued...

DUDE... you totally said what I was going to... only first. So I guess it's your idea.
Yeah, this looks awesome. I really liked crackdown and assassin's creed. I'm all over this game.

@DSR7997
Since you gain power by wreaking havoc/killing things I'd say it's similar, just the orbs walk around and don't hide very well. Also the orbs can fight back and you could potentially have sex with them....
They aren't at all like orbs are they?
Anyway the game looks sweet, I'm a fan of Codemasters and hopefully they can finally churn out a AAA title with this game, their work just keeps getting better.

I remember reading an article on this game in a magazine... the character motion and handling sounded exactly like Assassin's Creed handles. I just hadn't read anything about AC until that point, so I was pretty intrigued.
I have to admit, I'm even more intrigued after seeing that trailer.

It's Assasin's Creed meets Crackdown meets the Darkness. I guess that's a good thing. How 'bout maybe a few games that aren't about badass dudes beat beating stuff up.

Not to be a wuss, but I kind of wish it wasn't so gory. It looks awesome, but I'm turned off of it by all of the splatters. :) Of course, maybe there's a toggle or something...

looks more like AC mixed with the darkness, not saying that's bad though, looks pretty cool, hope the trailer lives up to gameplay though.

Games for Windows magazine had a great preview of Prototype (and another of Badlands) but they never mentioned if it was going to be coming to the 360. Another reason why I didn't renew my subscription after the name change.
