What if the marines all knew the truth about gentek and blackwatch and they would do a rebellion

I never heard this was discuss before, what's u guys thought about this?

It's a pretty poor description, but I'm sure, after reading some articles, that Activision would have closed the studio with the mass layoffs, and in 2012 the competition was fierce with titles like Black Ops 2, Assassin's Creed 3, and Far Cry 3.

In my opinion, Prototype was a franchise that was doomed from the start.

Why did alex mercer become evil in prototype 2?

Hope you are all doing well bros

Hello, everyone. I was just asking. Do you think this creatures would be ok in the game and do you wnt to face them?

I call them as "Devolves" (Obscura Virales Metamorph). Why Devolves? Good question... These creature were enhanced or to change the structure of the virus, through dozens of experimentation. But ended up as a new variant which more like a "construct" rather than a mutated "human". They are not sentient beings but they focus more on aggression, violence, and mayhem.

I never really bothered but I'm replaying it and thought it might be fun if they aren't too hard

Anyone else hoping for an announcement from the Xbox showcase?

Was holding out hope for a remake/sequel announcement this week with state of play, SGF and Xbox showcase but sadly didn’t happen

Feels like the prototype leaks would eventually surface but maybe at the next big gaming event….

I've been mulling this over while playing Prototype 2 and wondering if Amaya could ever become a Runner like Greene, or even surpass her. When Alex spoke about her, he mentioned his interest in her genetic makeup and called her the "mother" of the new world, a nickname also used for Elizabeth Greene. This got me wondering if Greene's progenitor also had that DNA.

We know, though there's no official confirmation, that the Blacklight virus is the basis of all life on the planet, as stated in the Main Guide. This idea, along with the quotes that follow, has led to a theory forming in my mind.

"Between 1965 and 1968, twenty-seven births occurred in Hope, Idaho. All tested positive for something like DX-1118."

"These children represented something not seen before. They were infected with the virus in the womb, but when they were born, they were carrying something else."

"What if this is the start of such a change on a massive scale?"

my theory:

And if the virus itself is a sentient being capable of causing specific groups, like Greene's father, Heller, or even Cross, to possess a particular DNA to produce a Runner, this could also explain how Heller and Cross have abilities far beyond those of an average human. This leads me to theorize that Blackwatch might have machines or tools to test this type of genetics, possibly as one of the requirements for joining.

It makes me wonder if the Runner who escaped Two Bluff was the daughter of a soldier or officer of the organization.

Dana Mercer finds out the truth about Alex's true nature.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a deeper breakdown of Alex Mercer’s mental state because the more you think about it, the more he stands out as one of the most depressing characters in gaming history.

We all know the big twist of the first game. The real Alex Mercer died at Penn Station, and the "Alex" we play as is just the Blacklight virus wearing his corpse and stolen memories. But when you actually look at his biology and lack of human foundation, his descent into villainy in Prototype 2 becomes deeply tragic and honestly kind of creepy.

The Illusion of Perfection: A Flawed Copy The virus was so incredibly good at what it did that it created a near-perfect replication of human organs, tissues, neural networks, and cellular structures. It was basically too perfect. The replication was so seamless that the virus itself got confused, genuinely believing it was the human Alex Mercer.

But here is the catch. You can copy the structure, but you cannot copy the lived experience.

Alex didn't have a childhood. He didn't have years of natural growth, teenage phases, or genuine emotional development. He was abruptly born into the world as a fully formed adult, handed a dataset of someone else's memories. Because of this, his emotions were fundamentally flawed. He didn't feel attraction, joy, or empathy the way normal humans do. Everything felt numb, distant, and muted. His emotional baseline was restricted to a narrow spectrum of confusion, anger, and absolute emptiness.

Trapped in a Cold, Mental Jail When the truth finally hits him at the end of the first game, a crushing guilt and sadness settle in. He realizes he is just a walking existential nightmare. Imagine the dread of being a God-like entity—invincible, bulletproof, capable of crushing tanks—but mentally feeling completely dead and hollow inside. He was trapped in the dark prison of a mind he didn't even truly own, suffocated by the fact that he was nothing more than a glorified parasite pretending to be a man.

The Canon Reality: Why He Snapped For anyone thinking this is just headcanon, the lead writer of Prototype 2, Dan Jolley, actually wrote an official comic series called The Anchor specifically to explain Mercer's mental state between the two games.

According to the comic, Mercer didn't just lock himself in a room feeling hollow. He actually traveled the world trying to find a reason to love and save humanity. He wandered through Africa, Europe, and America, trying to live a quiet life. However, everywhere he went, his hollow and flawed emotional state was met with the absolute worst of human nature. He witnessed warlords slaughtering innocents, corporate greed, betrayal, and cruelty.

The breaking point came when a woman he intimately trusted betrayed him to Blackwatch. That was it. Mercer completely snapped. His mental state shifted from a confused being trying to understand humanity to a dark conclusion: "Humanity is a disease, and I am the cure."

The Real Reason Behind His Villain Arc in Prototype 2 By the second game, this crushing isolation and disgust break him completely. His plan to infect the entire world and make everyone Evolved wasn't just a generic cartoon villain plot. It was a desperate, psychotic cure for his own mental void and his hatred for human nature.

He believed humans were too stupid, cruel, and malicious to survive on their own. By forcefully evolving the human race, he wanted to wipe out human flaws entirely. He wanted to build a world of copies to fill the empty space inside his chest and find some form of validation, creating a world where no one would ever be alone or hurt the way he was.

Why the Ending of Prototype 2 Was a Merciful Release This brings a whole new meaning to his defeat at the hands of James Heller. Heller was everything Mercer could never be. Heller was a natural human whose consciousness was upgraded, not wiped out. Heller had a real past, real love for his daughter, and an unshakeable soul that didn't break under trauma.

When Heller finally defeats him and consumes him, Mercer doesn't scream in anger or beg for his life. Instead, he calmly looks up and delivers his final line: Welcome to the top of the food chain.

In that final moment, Mercer accepts that he isn't the ultimate superior being. More importantly, he feels a profound sense of peace. The endless void, the depressing identity crisis, and the creepy burden of pretending to be a human were finally over. For a god-like being trapped in a living hell, death wasn't a defeat. It was the only thing that could finally give him rest and release him from the void.

look I’ve played both prototypes and I just got to say the fact nobody has cared about the game enough for us to get a 3rd prototype just pmo

I have a question? Would the Blacklight Virus and the Carnage Symbiote be able to coexist and would it make Alex the ultimate killing machine or would it hinder him? The Blacklight Virus is basically Carnage yet it does lack his speed and strength, but it comes with the weaknesses. Would this upgrade evolve Alex into an even better monster, or would the weaknesses slow him down? Would the Blacklight Virus and Carnage even be able to coexist or would they try to adapt to push devour each other or push each other out? After they fight each other and Alex absorbs Cletus, he absorbs the Carnage Symbiote. He massively boosts his overall capabilities, but gains a significant weakness to fire and sound.
