So basically, this is a GTA-type of game, with powers and whatnot and an amnesiac hero. Anyone else who has heard of the game? Discussions et al.

I was going to start a thread but this one has already been made and I figure a single post thread was never really alive enough to call this thread necromancy.

New gameplay footage is available at Gametrailers.

A couple more videos of gameplay walkthroughs have been revealed on YouTube

I gotta say, this game looks to be about as fun as getting drunk and fucking the prom queen while she's doped on ecstasy. Amazon has the official release date for this as June 9th.

I wonder what, if any, multiplayer modes this game has to offer aside from co-op.

Rockgamer May 28, 2009 02:35 AM

I'm kinda interested in this game, but I'd want to play it first before investing it. I know people have been comparing it to inFamous (though people who have played both say they aren't really similar), but this game looks much better. Hell, it's pretty damn clunky just to travel around the city in inFamous, but it looks fun as hell in Prototype with all the parkour-like stuff you can do. If they release a demo for this that turns out to be good, I may actually buy this as soon as it comes out.

Jessykins May 28, 2009 04:24 PM

The co-op has been removed, Paco. Sadly.

Either way, I have been trying not to look forward to this game and buy into the hype machine, but the more I see the more I FUCKING WANT IT. FUCK IT LOOKS SO COOL.

Firefly May 29, 2009 08:31 PM

To be fair, I don't see how cooperative play would have meshed well with the story mode... now, a series of unrelated challenge scenarios in the vein of CoD:MW2's Special Forces levels is another matter.
While I'll be busy with Red Faction: Guerrilla for a while, this does look interesting. I particularly approve of the 'toolbox' making stealthy gameplay a viable option.

Single Elbow Jun 9, 2009 08:24 PM

So I have it and currently playing it.

First 5 minutes. ACTION AND ENEMIES EVERYWHERE. HOLY SHIT YOU CAN SCALE BUILDINGS, SHOVE PEDESTRIANS LIKE DOLLS, POWERS AND ABUSE OF SUCH POWERS

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffff

Fast paced and a lot of action to boot. I like what I see.

Terra Jun 11, 2009 08:55 AM

You can destroy helicopters by dropkicking them or tossing pedestrians at them.

I also like what I see.

Shenlon Jun 11, 2009 09:41 AM

Trying to decide between this and infamous. I know that its not fair to compare both since the styles are completely different styles but open world games can only hold my attention for so long. I may end up just downloading it to try it out first since theres no demo.
Has anybody here played both games?

Krelian Jun 11, 2009 09:51 AM

I played the Infamous demo for half an hour, so yes, I've played both games to completion.

Chen Jun 14, 2009 07:46 AM

Beaten it yesterday , pretty awesome shit.
I think after Ill finish all the events and stuff ,i'll start new game + .

Jessykins Jun 16, 2009 02:36 PM

This game is fucking awesome. There's something infinitely satisfying about hunting down a web of intrigue target amidst a bunch of soldiers, hunters, and zombies fighting in the streets.

Paco Jun 17, 2009 07:39 PM

I've been playing this game on and off since I bought it last week. I find myself getting lost in the city without a care for the main mission. I just hope I'm not fucking up some achievement to beat the game in a certain time limit because I ain't doing SHIT to progress the story along.

Single Elbow Jun 18, 2009 03:28 AM

There ain't no New York Minute* in this game so wander away.

*GTA IV's Liberty City Minute achievement (for reference)

Dark Nation Jun 20, 2009 06:31 AM

The gameplay footage reminded me a lot of the Spider-man games. Mainly the playstation and I guess the first movie-based game, or something. Also GTA but thats a given. I know I'm late on checking this out, but probably gonna get it in the next couple of days. Looks fun. Penny Arcade of all things presented an oddly compelling argument to get it too.

Actually on second thought, I'm probably gonna wait till it drops down to $20 or 30. Still looks fun either way.

Gechmir Jun 20, 2009 08:27 AM

Playing the hell out of this game. I'm elsewhere this weekend and the game is on my PC, not laptop. Fucking pissed that I can't play :mad: There's actually some effort in the storytelling, unlike 99% of US games. The mission that introduced hunters or whatever they're called stomped my ass like crazy though.

RUN FROM THEM!
Okay! Just gotta jump a lot--
GO IN TO THAT BUILDING NOW.
Okay!
HERE COMES ONE. ROCKET LAUNCHER IT WHILE GETTING SHOT.
Wait, what--
HE'S DEAD! ;(
Whew!
HERE COME TWO MORE!
Wait, what--
HERE COME THREE MORE!
No! D:
HERE COMES A FUCKLOAD
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

They glued to your ass and I didn't have the ability to pick shit up while running yet. As a result, I had issues. But I FINALLY beat it after dying maybe a dozen times. SO GLAD this game has checkpoints in missions, otherwise this would be shit.

They get even worse down the road. Pretty soon you'll be doing a mission where you have to use a tank and you'll have a cadre of those motherfuckers barreling down on your position while you're thinking to yourself, "Shouldn't I be out there stomping these bitches with MY MASSIVE GOD-FISTING FISTS?".

This shit is fucking bananas, son!

Single Elbow Jun 20, 2009 12:54 PM

Man, it does get progressively challenging everytime, which means it is a ton more fun than the last time around.

Get to this boss battle with a ton of hunters. Swear to christ, died more than five times.

Ramenbetsu Jun 21, 2009 12:15 PM

Have it on pc and absolutely loving the shit out of this game. Guyver dive bomb transformation AWESOME.

And here's a shit HD video I made of a great chase scene I had:

Jessykins Jun 21, 2009 11:48 PM

lol, I always drop what I am doing and run for landmark and hint orbs too.

Grail Jun 22, 2009 12:04 AM

I believe I took for granted how awesome helicopters are...

Cause when you fucking don't get to use any AT ALL towards a certain point, and you got about 3 or 4 tanks looking right at you with super soldiers bear hugging your ass...it gets a little tedious ;___; ESPEICALLY since you have to keep one tank alive...so fuck devistating everything

Crackdown has taught me well, this is the only way to play.

God the gameplay is fun. They really went all out in this game and made it amazingly fun to do anything. I didn't think I'd enjoy a story-based sandbox game that much (GTA and such always annoyed me because you can't really do anything except forward the story), but this game gets it right. I have fun just putting on the shield power and running around knocking pedestrians over.

The only thing I can really complain about (so far) is the controls of the tank. I don't understand why they couldn't make it more analogous to driving a car... I constantly get confused by this control scheme. Oh well driving tanks around isn't as fun anyway.

It has the same control scheme as driving vehicles in Halo. It's not as fluent because it feels stiff at times but, even my cousin (who has really only played Halo in his life) can pick it up with no problem. He's over every night to play this game because it really IS that kind of pick-up-and-play joint that's fun as fuck to play.

nuttyturnip Jun 22, 2009 10:18 AM

My only beef with the tanks is the animation that you have to sit through every time you hijack one. Sure, it adds realism, because you take damage from bullets and you/the tank could get blown up in the process, but it gets annoying when you're in a battle where you need a tank, and the pace slows to a crawl while you get in the tank.

surasshu Jun 22, 2009 10:25 AM

I guess having played Halo for 5 minutes doesn't help then, I didn't realize there was any other game that had vehicle control like this. Not a major complaint anyway since the only reason I hijack tanks is to kill them off quickly if there's a couple around, using the auto-targetting system thing. It's not like I'm driving around town with them, it's way more fun to run/jump/glide.

map car man words telling me to do things Jun 22, 2009 10:55 AM

Plenty of games have used the "point the camera in the direction you want to go" style of vehicle control since Halo. I suppose you just haven't played an FPS that also happens to have vehicles.
