prototype seems to play better as of now but infamous looks better graphically.

I dunno, when both had they're first video's released, prototype looked more fluid and such, but after seeing recent video's, infamous looks much smoother than prototype originally did. Prototype seems to have the whole spiderman / hulk game movement to me, I'd have to see recent clips to tell :P
But as of right now, I think Infamous looks much better.
From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

I think just about everyone will agree with that... but I mean given the option of "Play better" Vs "Look better".
I mean it's no contest. Play better should win every time.

^^^we are not 100% sure on game play yet,,they might both disappoint or infamous might end up being better but i agree that prototype game play looks more badass,,,we'll have to wait and see
Well, I don't care much about the graphic department, since anyway I'll be running Prototype on the lowest settings in my PC (and I seriously hope it runs, GTA4 didn't).
The thing in Infamous, I dunno, looks like a very good game, but it doesn't have that "something" that Prototype has that's hyping me. I dunno if it's because Prototype has more superpowers, or if Radical Entertainment is very good at hyping with their trailers, or if it's just because Prototype's coming for PC and I don't have a PS3, the thing is that I look at both games, and while both look to be excellent, I have to give the edge to Prototype

Personally I think it's more that Prototype is using more of a free flowing 3 person mode... while Infamous is using the over the shoulder mode... which slows down the gameplay a lot more and makes it more "shooter like".
Prototype being more freestyle 3-rd person and more back from the camera just allows a lot faster movement and allows you to have faster moves and do different things.
The "far back" mode just makes more sense for a superhero game which we're conditioned to think of as more outhere, lots of stuff happening, people getting knocked back 20 feet, etc exchanges.

The whole "Prototype looks to be better then Infamous!" thing baffles me. Prototype in my opinion looks terrible. That is just my opinion. Yet I feel that some of you haven't even looked at what both games are offering for the most part.
Ive heard"Infamous looks repetitive"......really? How does Infamous look anymore repetitive then Prototype? In fact, Infamous has MORE stuff for you to do then prototype as a character. Look...
Prototype: leap building in a single bound, fly, morph arms into sword, morph arms into giant fists, run up buildings, tentacle manipulation, transform into others.
Infamous:scale buildings AC style, cover system, lightning blasts from hands, grenade like electric projectiles, electric body armor, electrify melee attacks, EMP(electromagnetic pulse)blasts, drain people, revive people, handcuff people with electricity, draw power from electronics. You even can read small glimpses of people's minds just before they die.
And thats not even mentioning the Karma system in place in Infamous. Prototype is simply mass destruction without probable basis. Infamous also is better slightly graphically from what I've seen. I am not saying Prototype will be garbage or anything, but it most certainly will not be more well received then InFamous.

You missed a lot you can do in Prototype.... using the same basis
For example... take any weapon from anybody in the game.... including tanks, helicopters, machineguns etc. (this list alone likely would beat your entire list... since you are counting each attack as it's own feature.)
Use different peoples appareances to play off one side vs the other.
Create body armor that completly alters the way your character plays, instead of being super fast, you can be a brusier who runs through cars and knocks them out of the way.
All sorts of other defensive powers
Throw objects like cars at people.
Do all sorts of crazy flips naturally as you run.
An entire set of tracking powers and sensory powers
Knock people around then ride there body as they go flying.
There is a lot more. Just watch some of the more indepth walkthroughs they've had of the Alpha.
Prototype just looks more fun as well... because it's not constrained by the over the back camera.
I'd bet Infamous will get better reviews.
I'd still put my money on Prototype being the far more fun game.
