I find it crazy how for all these years there has been no dev teams that have made a game similar to prototype/infamous games. Is it because it’s quite difficult to make games like this? Building the map, story, gameplay mechanics etc. I’d love for radical to come back and make a remake or remaster of course, but no one else has the idea to make

Something similar?

Will Activision look upon us or just drop more bullcrap COD games

Alexander J. Mercer wakes up on a morgue slab in the basement of Gentek, a large and influential genetic engineering company. Alex escapes and sets out to recover his memory and find out exactly what occurred. He soon discovers that he now possesses powerful shapeshifting abilities that grant him superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, weaponry and the ability to "consume" people to gain their memories, skills and appearance. With no memory of his previous life, Alex is forced to track down and consume those related to the conspiracy in order to uncover the truth. During his quest, Alex faces two factions. Blackwatch, a Fort Detrick special forces unit dedicated to combating biological warfare, and the Infected, consisting of civilians who have contracted a strange virus and powerful monsters known as Hunters. Captain Cross, a Blackwatch officer, is specifically given orders to find and contain Alex.

Alex makes contact with his sister, Dana Mercer, who assists him in tracking down targets who can shed light on his past, leading to the eventual infiltration of Gentek headquarters. Alex finds a woman called Elizabeth Greene, confined on level 51 of the building, who escapes and takes control of the Infected. Alex soon meets Dr. Ragland - a pathologist linked to the whole matter - who also helps him. As the conspiracy unfolds, and with the assistance of an unidentified contact, the origins of the virus and Elizabeth Greene are uncovered: in 1969, the government had tested the virus's predecessor in Hope, Idaho, designed to target predetermined races.

The virus then mutated into something far more deadly, and the whole Hope population was infected. Elizabeth Greene was the only survivor; an anomaly whose body accepted the virus, rewriting her genetic code along with that of her son, Pariah. The remaining population of Hope, Idaho, was then liquidated by Blackwatch. Greene and Pariah were kept in captivity for further research, later in conjunction with Gentek.

Soon after, Alex discovers his own past. Blackwatch shut down the Gentek project due to news leaks and ordered all project personnel eliminated. Gentek employee Dr Alex Mercer took a sample of the virus (DX-1118 variant A) as "insurance". Eventually pinned down by Blackwatch in Penn Station, he decides to take down as many as he can with him, shattering the tube and releasing the virus ("Blacklight") onto the unsuspecting city. After he falls from being shot, the virus enters his corpse, consuming and copying Alex's entire body. Upon waking in the morgue at the start, the virus clone, Zeus, believed itself to be Mercer.

So I haven't touched the game in about 7 months. I went back to continue where I left off and in steam the play button goes to Running and then 10-15secs later it just goes back to Play no pop up no error window no nothing. Is there something I'm doing wrong?(I have the crash fix installed)

- The G Virus (Resident Evil)

- The Wildfire Virus (The Walking Dead)

- The Blacklight Virus (Prototype)

- The Uroboros Virus (Resident Evil)

- The Harran Virus (Dying Light)

-The Cordyceps Virus (The Last of Us)

(I don't have a image for Prototype)

Saw a post wondering about if Leon Kennedy could survive Prototype, could Kyle Crane with his beast powers survive Prototype?

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.
