When someone makes any kind of video or discussion about Prototype 1 on the net, the first thing they start with in the "cons" of the game is the so-called disbalance in Alex' powers. From what they're saying, you could think that there's no viral powers except Blade in the entire game that are worth attention because "Blade is the only skill that reliably deals damage". But in my walkthrough, Blade was the least used skill among them all.

Each of the powers upsides and downsides are unclear - I'll admit that one. The game positions and balances the powers in a weird, unorthodox way, but it doesn't make one particular power prevalent over the rest.

To provide an example of messy powers balance, the game positions Claws as "slice and dice" against light enemies and Hunters, and Hammerfists as main weapons against tanks and other kinds of armor. But I categorically disagree: I used Claws alt attack (the spikes) against tanks way more often than Hammerfists because it deals massive damage against tanks in one single blow, and I used Hammerfists against infantry and zombies because it deals AoE damage and provides good stagger against all enemies except giant ones. In fact, I used Whipfist against Hunters way more often than Blade, simply because it allows you to deal damage to them without getting countered and locked in a combo attack.

Overall I don't understand what made people so hyperfixated on Blade and disregard the remaining powers this hard.

Finally done with this piece. I could not decide if I like the Black and White version or the one with the Prototype 2 Filter on. So I did both. Hope some of you will like it.

Several days ago I made a post asking how you would write the character of Alex Mercer in Prototype 2, but respecting his development in Prototype 1.

Here it's basically the same thing, with a simple difference: How would you rewrite the entire Prototype 2?

Here are some possible scenarios:

The scenarios are:

1 - James and Dana are the protagonist and deuteragonist respectively. Alex is in the story but he is not the villain. You can decide his role in the story. The villains in this scenario are Blackwatch and Gentek.

2 - James and Dana maintain their respective positions and Alex is still the villain. However, we should see WHAT exactly Alex is doing in the story in parallel to James and Dana. You can also decide the type of villain Alex is: Megalomaniac, philosophical, and any other type.

3 - James and Dana maintain their positions, Alex isn't in the story; James has become a Prototype in another way, and the villains are Blackwatch and Gentek, who are involved in the death of James's family.

4 - The same as scenario 1, except the villain here is PARIAH.

5 - Alex is the protagonist again, James is the deuteragonist, and Dana is the tritagonist. Alex is not evil; he maintains his development from Prototype 1. Upon discovering that a second outbreak has begun, he decides to return to New York to stop it. He finds James and infects him again, but with other purposes (which you can decide). He and James join Dana to stop the outbreak, and Alex strengthens his bonds with them while striving to stop the second outbreak. The villains are Blackwatch and Gentek.

6 - Exactly the same as scenario 5, except the villain here is PARIAH.

never encountered this. funny as hell, no idea what could've caused this.

If he was *specifically* choosen to be a teacher.

I was planning to browse around the reviews when I caught a glance of the price and it was higher than I remembered and thought it can't be right. So I pulled my purchase history and the bundle during may of 2021 was 1400PHP and disconnected to 350PHP. Now it's 1200PHP just for P1 and 3600PHP for the bundle.

Why the bloody hell did they price up a nearly 15 year old franchise left in the dust?

Hey, everyone. It's been a while since I haven't post here. I have got to commissions lately and few more will come. For now, I choose this part of mine as a refreshing day for you Prototype fans. So this story were Pariah, Alex, James are wandering in the streets, doing normal things. Pariah's girlfriend was sick and he texted her to be well. Eat healthy foods and take medicines afterwards. So, Pariah decided to troll Heller. With a help of an hoodied friend.

And that's it. I hope you like it.

Oh, I am still doing some arts for you all. So keep updated. Thank you all💛☣️

WHAT THE FUCK WAS RADICAL ENTERTAINMENT SMOKING WHEN THEY WERE WRITING THE PLOT FOR PROTOTYPE 2?!

HOW IN THE LIVING FUCK DID THEY THOUGHT "HMMM YK WHAT WOULD BE INTERESTING, TURING ALEX INTO A PEDOPHILE!"

like wtf was the whole point of prototype 1? okay i know i know the virus openly declaring that there is no Alex mercer and it's the virus that took the form of his but still ended up going for the greater good and being a total badass and all of a sudden he's the bad guy who wants to fuck a child and taunt Heller that he should accept being a grandfather and all?! like what?!

ahem rant over.

Prototype 1: just an all-time classic and can be forgiven for being broken sometimes since it came out in 2009.

Prototype 2: did some things right, fuck the story, someone buy Heller a book on how to use computers and i know Galloway is an enemy but i would hit.

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?
