i'm starting to wonder why no one answers in my threads lol :P



err...cool video? looks like a cool game? Dunno what to say... :)



Actually, this game doesn't look good at all.

If you look at the environments they just look bare, the gameplay doesn't really look that good for more than 5 minutes, and if you compare that to something like GTAIV it just looks pathetic. Even the gunplay looks like you just standing there taking hits while firing your big weapon to get a lame explosion.

Really, everything from those videos just screams generic.



i'm not sure you can really compare it directly to GTA...

on top of that I doubt the game has all its texturing and level design completed.... I agree with you it looks bare...
I'm kind of the same about the game play.. it could be sloppy controls especially since it's a multiplatform new IP etc....
but I think the conceptual gameplay and ideas are cool... if they end up do it right.. it could be a fun game... like a multiplat crackdown.... I wasn't interested by the game but those video tells me it's worth following to see what direction it will end up taking... either total flop (likely with that kind of game) or a really good game (i hope so).....

I'm comparing it to GTAIV because like the game or not it has set a new standard. From now on any open world/sandbox game has to look as or near as good as it to be considered better than mediocre (there are of course always exceptions but you know what I mean). GTAIV has a fantastic environment that just feels alive. The Prototype one just feels so empty compared to it.

And even in early development, there should still be an area that is close to release quality. Generally when you make a game you make one level or area in the case of a game like this up to release standard and then use that as a bar for every other level or area in the game (this part is usually called the vertical slice though it goes by other names too). If what's in the trailer the best they have to offer then I am in no way impressed. If they just weren't ready yet or didn't use that method then they should not have shown that video. They probably lost a lot of potential customers (including myself) due to those videos. It's still possible to win them all back but it's going to take a lot more now that we've seen that.
