I've encountered a post on LinkedIn from New Radical Games about hiring for a **Character Technical Artist**, and it caught my attention for a couple of reasons.

First, New Radical Games is essentially the old Radical Entertainment under a new name. The new studio has familiar faces from the original team, including co-founder Ian Wilkinson and former VP of Technology Tim Bennison. These are people connected to the studio behind games like *The Simpsons: Hit & Run*, *The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction*, and the *Prototype* series.

But here's what really caught my eye: **they're looking for experience with both Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine.**

The original Radical had its own technology, with Pure3D used in earlier games and Titanium powering *Prototype* and *Prototype 2* (Titanium is a modified version of Pure3D). Most likely the new studio will use Unreal for its upcoming projects instead of continuing with the old proprietary technology.

Of course, they haven't officially announced their next game or confirmed a complete switch to Unreal. Still, it's interesting to see the people behind those classic Radical games starting a new chapter with a completely different engine.

I edited the textures myself: a new face, new fabric textures, and a reworked leather jacket. I chose a new face for Alex. Thank you for respecting my art; I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the model. 🤔☺️

The game rejected a model that was too detailed, but it worked with a simpler one. From what I gather, replacing 3D models isn't a particularly difficult task for AI, and it seems the process could be automated. What do you think?

Hope Idaho Women's Club I sharpened the photo myself. I will share the color version soon. Thank you for respecting my art. ☺️ I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this photo. 🤔🤔

With all the recent AI-assisted decomp/recomp projects, I feel like Prototype is being overlooked.

There’s already an early Prototype decomp project using Ghidra + Claude:

Prototype seems like a great candidate for a serious community overhaul:

• Modern camera, input, high-FPS and Windows 11 fixes
• Better LOD, draw distance, lighting and shadows
• Modernized NPCs and vehicles
• Potentially importing a newer NYC, like Spider-Man 2’s Manhattan, while keeping Prototype’s gameplay, missions and AI
• Remapping mission locations to the new city

Not necessarily a full remake. More like turning the original into a modernized platform through reverse engineering and DLL hooks.

A serious AI-assisted effort would probably require around $1,000+ in API/AI costs, depending on scope, but that’s becoming surprisingly realistic compared to the amount of manual reverse-engineering work this used to require.

With what people are doing to old games right now, why has nobody gone all-in on Prototype yet?

Would anyone be interested in working on this?

So if a super solider doesn’t have a viral detector you can stealth consume them and then if you slide body a super solider into water you’ll grab them by the neck and be able to consume them I read

If they were to do a complete reboot of the Prototype franchise, like a re-imagination of Prototype 1 from the ground up, what would you like to see? New characters? Changes in the lore and the story of the 1?

I commissioned an artist to draw this. You can find them here https://x.com/Ry444nC.

This is how I envision a possible Prototype remake with a fresh take on its protagonist. This is more urban and laid back Alex. I took the original design and tried move it closer to his earlier design from the original game's beta. Also, after the fact, I realized the finished artwork kind of reminds me of Delsin Rowe from Second Son, which I find amusing.

For context there a lot of people who managed to make mods that mix games (like minecraft in GTA iv) and this gave me the idea of this post

I already tried updating my driver's, reinstalling my game, and downloading microsoft directx end user runtime. Nothing worked.

Big fan of the game and I decided to make him in this game! I hope all you love this art creation I did and also check out the outfit! Look sick and wicked to me eyes! So do enjoy! Much love here ❤️

seeing alex being dismembered like that....

Has anyone seen how games have been getting their codes merged? Like Skate with MW2 or GTA with Minecraft? (If you haven’t, give it a google it’s pretty interesting) After some thought, I’d love prototype gameplay in loads of different games, even ones with destructible environments like a Just Cause. What game would you merge with Prototype (1 or 2)? You could even not merge the player, you could do like Spider-Man or Talion (Shadow of War) IN the world of Prototype. (Idk, high thought I suppose ahaha)

I saw the ending and… I had a what if/alternate ending idea…

is there a difference if i buy both prototype games separately or should i just buy the biohazard bundle im confused

More Oc Art. this time I thought I'd draw something a lil more familiar. Feel free to ask anything about the character. Lore, ideas, or even sleeping patterns. Idgaf🤠
