Forums - Gaming - Prototype vs Infamous...which is better and why

CAL4M1TY on 17 April 2009

I said this in the other infamous vs prototype thread, and my opinion hasn't changed.

Going with Infamous. Graphics look better (Prototype looks alright, but there's a lot of awkward moments when the animation doesn't feel/look quite right. Especially when he uses those "spikes" from his body or when he makes heavy impacts with the ground) and I like suckerpunch as a developer.

I'd happily buy both though.

Ive said it before and ill say it again? Why wouldnt you buy both if they are so equal? Just because one is marginaly better suited for Your taste, dosent mean the other will be a bad game not worth playing.

But i guess you'd have to have a PS3, or a 360PS3 for my point to work.

From what I have seen I'm favouring Prototype.

What a surprise. >.>

For me, inFamous looks the more sophisticated game. Prototype seems like it would be very quick to get into and blow a lot of shit up in, but wouldn't keep me playing. In contrast, I'll definitely be having at least two playthroughs of inFamous (one as good, then one as evil).

 

exactly

The only people who really think Prototype will be a better game are those obsessed with hurting/killing people and being as sadistic as possible. These are the future serial killers of the world.

.......phew(there is my ignorant thought of the day^^)

Proto just looks like a playground where you simply cause as much mayhem as possible with no real purpose NOR direction. It is in the same vain as GTA which is only popular because people like beating on hookers and old ladies.I hear it way too often, that Prototype is better then Infamous because it is "Gorefest". I find it sickening.

Gore/violence should not be the purpose of a game, it should be a device to further other points of the game. This is the kind thing that gets video games so much flack in the media for "influencing" small children to do terrible things(like putting their cat in the microwave :[ ).

Infamous on the other hand has substance(from what we have seen). It has a complex story, either sending you down the path of a champion or a path of a dictator. The gameplay looks solid and focused. It doesn't go "OOO!!! Look at me!!! I can do so many things that make no real sense WHY I can do them but I can do them anyway!!!!!". Instead they have taken the realistic(XMEN) aproach to Cole's abilities. You find one point....then elaberate on it. He can control electrons/electricity. He minipulates it in different ways to CREATE new abilites, without ever deviating from it. I find this much more believable. The game also boasts a free roaming world with plenty of GTA like missions to contend with.

You keep saying this stuff... but the truth is... you haven't been keeping up on both games.

actually I have been keeping up with both games fairly evenly.

Prototype looks cool in a crazy and over the top kind of way, but I'm looking forward to Infamous more, largely because of the karma system.

And you seriously think "The Web of Intrigue" is less complex?

So you think a straight foward linear story is less complex then a giant conspiracy theory that you have to unlock step by step.

Ok.

INFAMOUS will have 17 weapons, all with 3 different levels of damage that can be upgraded.

PROTOTYPE you just turn your hands into boulders or knives or tentacles. Repetitive.

 

nice. thats a lot of weapons. im getting more hyped for this game.
