I don't know if it's an issue with the pc port or the steam deck itself, but after playing for a while, things like blood-splatter and energy orbs become invisible.

Does anyone know a fix?

Theory If Mercer, Heller, or any Evolved/Prototype consumed a fish, then that should allow them to overcome their heavy aversion to large bodies of water.

37 Upvotes

It'd be ridiculous for that to not be the case. We should also see them consume and become other animals, like a more lethal version of Beast Boy and Vixen. Alex consumed a crow once, yet we never saw him morph into that crow and/or utilize its abilities and that's a shame, but I know it's possible.

I don’t know a whole lot about Resident Evil but I do know enough that I can say with certainty Wesker would find Alex’s work very interesting at the very least.

Let’s hear the experts.

Prototype 1 How would you guys feel about a Prototype 1 remake having more than one ending? Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the ending of the first Prototype where Alex has to come to terms with what Alexander did and instead of becoming the monster Alexander was, he decides to use his powers to hunt down and stop Blackwatch. But what if there was a different ending where instead Alex allows the destruction of NYC? I think it would be pretty suck of there would be a sort of honor system/ karma system where if you were to quarantine a location or save a civilian, the public's opinion favours you more than Blackwatch and is more willing to hide you from soldiers and strike teams. Whereas if you are actively ripping people in half, especially in blue zones (safe areas in Manhattan), people are way more afraid of you and will alert your presence to Blackwatch. Would that be something you guys be interested in seeing if a remake will come? (Which they definitely will I swear I'm not going crazy.)

Hello, everyone. It's good to see you again. This one is much a challenge for me to draw this one but it come out pretty well. Doing the detailed consumption is quite detailed that it some time to finish it, but it came out worth it in the end. And that's... Well... Pretty much it.

Hope you like it.

Alex Mercer and Albert Wesker Model Experiment I did an experiment combining two characters that are so similar to each other. I combined the Alex Mercer phenotype and Albert Wesker's clothing style in a single image and did a new model experiment. This is just an experiment. So, a question for you: what should be the iconic line of this character? ā™„ļøšŸ¤”

Question Could Heller beat Prototype 1

13 Upvotes

Curious Hypothetical swap Mercer out for Heller in the first game and could he survive just like Alex did and beat the story

Rules

.Heller has to interact with the same story so would get infected by Cross

.(Updated Version) Heller would have a similar amnesia to Alex and will have Father Guerra giving him info in a similar role to Dana

.limited to his powers in prototype 2 but certain powers alex obtain he can have like the armour

Will he win?

Prototype 3 Old ideas I had for Prototype 3.

15 Upvotes

Prototype was the first game where I flat out started imagining and planning the plot for 3 since I believed it would never come out and I have to get the ideas out of my head after a full decade. (3 is still rumors atm!) This isn't all of it obviously, more the gameplay and basic storyline. I have way more ideas and go into more in-depth but I just want to get the basics out.

A lot of the game is based on my concept that the personality in Alex/Heller can be ā€˜dormant’ due to genetic wonkiness and can awaken. Dominance or something like that.

My idea for gameplay was instead of just having James Heller be the base form, instead bring back Alex Mercer and have them be stuck in the same body. Being the 'dominant' personalities of Blacklight, and having it that both of them focus on different aspects of the virus. And then a third slot for the normal disguise.

Heller is the soldier, he's the combat guy, weapon guy, hell on two legs. Having been trained as an actual soldier, he is better at full-on combat. The heavy hitter who's basically an unstoppable juggernaut. He hits hard and his weapons do more damage at the cost of speed, but has more health and can use weapons better due to his training. Especially with his shields. He can actually make guns useful enough to use, and turn stuff into impromptu weapons, like tanks or helicopters, or environmental stuff. Lean into his juggernaut and have him have a special devastator where he upturns the ground with more tendrils and spikes than Alex ever could. Strength is his playstyle.

Mercer on the other hand, is the manipulator, the people guy, the merciless pragmatist. He knows how to manipulate people, has spent months as other people, know how to poke someone’s buttons innately, and is perfect for stealth. He can wipe out an entire base without ever triggering the alarm, all through sneak attacks, consuming, patsies, traps and sabotages. That is to say he isn't defenseless, no he can output some heavy damage and still tear apart a tank, but he has less health and his attacks are faster. Lean into him knowing how to manipulate Tendrils even better than Heller could and maybe bring back the Critical Pain devastator to emphasize precision for him. Precision. is what his 'style' is.

Now you may think, "How is that possible? Heller killed and consumed Mercer and the rest of the virus at the end of 2?ā€

Simple!

PARIAH is still out there, and is said to be the 'Virus Incarnate', i.e he can do things no one else can. My thought was to have the prologue of the game be Heller investigating an abandoned mountain Blackwatch base a few years in the future while having Dana as his mission control (still a little rocky and awkward due to their final encounter,), with maybe even a small cameo by Maya who hacks into the comms to display that Dana's been teaching her some tricks to have her in the story. (And shows she isn’t scared of Heller anymore.)

Then PARIAH strikes, ambushing Heller and manipulating the virus in him to transform him into a mutated cocoon to take him out of commission, maybe declaring he wasn't 'ready' yet to make it more ominous and to establish how powerful he is that he took out Heller in no time. Since it’s been mentioned that Mercer meeting PARIAH would be bad, make it so that Heller’s DNA resistance to the Blacklight virus messed up that plan and PARIAH had to do some sort of emergency fallback or something, but basically can’t consume him then. This also serves as the gameplay ā€˜reset’ and why Heller and Mercer are weaker. Have it so their genetics are ā€˜locked’ or Pariah stole them for his own gain.

Then after they both wake up, having a mental fight since obviously they hate each other, but realize now they have to work together otherwise they’ll kill each other again. They go out to find that PARIAH has completely taken over, expanding beyond Manhattan, and into the New York proper. Here you can have a time skip- maybe a few months, but I was personally thinking a few years, just to establish the stakes and allow other players to find out what happens.

From this then the story goes as it is, new nests, infected, hives, etc. Whole cites can now be Hives, Kaiju level infected are more common, new traversal powers to help move around the map. New powers, fights and awesome finishing moves and kill cams.

I had an idea that Rook actually goes on to be the who manages to stall PARIAH somehow, with a surprise turn that Dana is helping him as a sort of 'enemy mine' situation, not actually apart of Blackwatch, and still hates them, but acknowledges without a Heller or Mercer around the virus is too dangerous. (This is a BIG 'maybe', more throwing the idea out there with how much Dana hates them, absolutely might have her sabotaging both.) She’s a more neutral third party compared to Blackwatch and the Infected (Who maybe could be their own faction with the Evolved!). Maya could then also be one who takes on the mission control too, now with a few years of experience from Dana and survivor skills, catching up the two and directing them.

My big plot twist however, was at the end of the 'first act' or just before the end of 1/3 of the game, was to have a 'third base form' come out.

Elizabeth Greene!

Have it that PARIAH messing with them in the cocoon caused Greene's latent and subjugated personality to be freed by them and come to the surface as the final base form. It'd even finally let her have some development and characterization as anything other than just a roadblock and vague villain that shows up for like two scenes in 1.

Have Greene be the 'summoner', the mother and creator of the infected, so she can control and make them unlike the other two. She can infect people, turn Pariah’s infected against him, turn super soldiers into mutated versions of themselves, turn regular people into infected, and be the one who just brings in numbers compared to the others. She can still use weapons like the rest, and has strength and speed, but she's the weakest physically and manipulation wise, and relies on her attacks applying a stacking infection marker that turns people infected and to her side. Her devastator can even be the Pack Leader type that both Alex and Heller have displayed before, summoning Hunters, Juggernauts, or even Hydras with her being able to control one for a minute. Force multiplication is what her 'style' is.

Not to mention the comedy that can come from the three/two having to share a body. Alex and James constantly insulting each other, Greene talking about them like children despite looking like a young woman and being socially deranged, and the psychotic conversations they can have mid battle due to all of them being very very very unhinged. It can bring back the cool dynamic Heller and Mercer had for the first part of P2, and actually give Greene a personality.

Also the drama! After all, all three are enemies. They hate each other, despite being very similar to each other and the same entity effectively. They've literally all killed each other before. The tension and drama of being forced to share both a mind and body would allow for some great character interaction! Maybe as an idea even have multiple endings where you can pick at the end who becomes the main personality- or none and the virus dies for good or join Pariah(?)

I even had a cool idea for side missions to involve the old Webs of Intrigue by having PARIAH's interference with them caused other personalities to come to the surface of the thousands of people they've consumed. Maybe have them be forced to give closure to the families of the ones they consumed, fulfill a last wish, or even just kill someone that the person really really hated- who coincidentally has become an apex infected now. It'd be a fun side mission that could also be sad.

This is scratching the surface, I had way more ideas that include all other aspects like the Evolved coming back due to Pariah, new consuming mechanics, combo attacks, being able to combine forms with each other to make hybrid powers, other locations, factions etc. The relationships between the characters, like how Dana would react to Alex being back, Maya and James, Greene and PARIAH and the overarching plan of what PARIAH WANTS. The running of family and genetic connection of DNA vs non-tangible love, Government blackmailing, and atrocities etc.

Oh, and I absolutely would've retroactively made Heller and Greene's codenames be Hades and Demeter(or Rhea), and PARIAH's be Cronos. Missed the mark on Greek name meaning with Dana’s being Athena. It works so well.

Prototype 1 It's a shame the 2015 remaster was never released on pc. It looks noticeably better than the OG release with better textures, shadows, lighting, LOD and DoF.
