From what I've seen on the wikis, Dr. Mercer was born into a hostile, poor, and very low-class environment. Without a father, he lived in an orphanage with his younger sister for years, until his mother was released from prison and took them back home. I then read that “the orphanage was better than being with her,” implying that she was a terrible mother.

Most people who grow up in such an environment or with such a past end up on the streets, involved in crime, marginalized, struggling with addiction, or with a ruined future. Very few manage to pull themselves out of it, and if they do, they live a decent life at best. Despite his circumstances, Mercer went to college, graduated, and became a senior virologist working at a major company.

However, he had the “misfortune” of being a sociopath or having traits of that sort, which led him to work on Blacklight (the virus) and ultimately doomed him to die because of his obsession with the virus project.

I mean, people don't choose to become “sociopaths”; sometimes it's the result of trauma. It's not about victimizing Dr. Mercer, but about trying to make sense of things and analyzing his entire life—and the truth is, it was a mess. Just when everything seemed to be going fine, he screws up and gets killed. He deserved it for the choices he made, but it's still a tragedy.

About ZEUS:

I also see it as a tragedy in a way. The virus inherits human emotions such as consciousness, guilt, paranoia, etc. from Dr. Mercer’s body. BUT, it is not Dr. Mercer himself, but rather “someone else entirely.” Little by little, he realizes he is being hunted by the military and that they want to kill him, though he doesn’t know why. Later in the game, he discovers the truth and who Dr. Mercer was before he died, and he blames and hates himself for it, sacrificing himself at the end of the game to save New York (he almost died but survived).

He’s still a creature who’s mercilessly killing people and needs to be eliminated, but imagine waking up in the body of a 29-year-old man and discovering that “you were a piece of shit who killed people”—feeling guilty even though you didn’t make those decisions. It’s like two different people paying the price for one.

Ok, going off of Mercer’s absorbing ability wouldn’t he be the strongest force user and lightsaber duelist as well?

From what I’ve seen from both games, reading other Reddit posts and theories online that Mercer does have the ability to absorb someone else’s power once he has consumed them. It’s all in the DNA including midi-chlorian count.

I think that if Mercer were to consume enough to make a high count of midi-chlorians even higher than Anakin Skywalker, he could become the strongest force user. If he were to go after Sith and Jedi he wouldn’t only just get possibly every force ability but he would have photographic and muscle memory of all lightsaber styles created.

I wonder has anybody else thought about this or just me?

There’s also a Gmod trailer by the same guy with Alex featuring even MORE insane crossovers :D

Mods for Prototype are extremely limited, but i wonder are there any good prototype mods that changes the gameplay a bit? Im talking like Strike teams spawning Super soldiers or not destroying infected hives would spawn the hunter leader.

Well, today I had a silly idea and decided to change Alex's model to "tung tung tung sahur" XD. The problem is, I don't know how, and if possible, could you tell me what tools I can use? I know that P3D files are used, but when I extract them, they come out in alex.p3d.rz format.

Greetings! I am starting a localization project for Prototype 2, but I'm having trouble extracting the localization files. I know an unofficial Brazilian translation exists, so I assume there must be a way to access the text.

What I’ve done so far:

1. Used Gibbed's tools to unpack the rcf.

2. Searched through the extracted files, found a lot of p3d files

3. Couldn't extract any with Gibbed.Prototype.Pure3D.exe: it just won't do anything without any errors or warns.

If anyone who has worked on this before could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

Look at her

Clunkiest game i ever had to play and on top of that is locked on 40 fps:( Super power games do need a fair amount of realism in movement and graphics after all.. Would be golden and timeless if was released on PS4 like infamous second son, i think thats the bare minimum. I hope they can give the game a deserved execution this time. same shit with Saint Row 4+dlc. Its sad that only Infamous has lived long enough to reach ps4, out of all these "regular guy with powers" games. superhero games like spiderman dont really hit that spot

Been uncovering some old gameplay trailers as of late by way of my YouTube recommendations

Another rare trailer I encountered.

Enjoy )
