@ambar....dont waste 2.5k on it...buy a pre-owned copy & sell it after completing
Infamous is far more polished than this game :|
the grafix are just bland and Dull in this game...Draw Distance is Bad....High rate of Pop-Ups. The gameplay is good...but the button mapping for over 133 (or 113 powers) is bad...i mean try pressing "x" & "o" together for cannonball move....its bad...:|
remember...Fight Night Round 4 is coming end of June...

Re: Prototype
Just played for half an hour. Have to sleep early so will keep my early impressions short and to the point.
Running around the city, hopping over obstacles and scaling vast distances with ease feels nice. But hey, it felt nice in Spiderman: Web of Shadows too and got boring pretty fast. Let's see how long this keeps me intrigued.
Combat feels better than WoS - no upgrades done so far, but the system looks promising. Running on 1920x1080, all high details and getting an average of 30 fps (AthlonX2 6000+, GT8800 512mb, 4GB RAM).
I like the environmental destruction and general atmosphere of the game but can tell it's going to get pretty damn repetitive soon. I already died twice against the damn tank in the beginning - trying to pick up the rocket launcher and shoot it down while i'm being shot at from 10 different directions. Oh well, you learn with experience.
More to come in a few days - i don't really feel the URGE to want to keep playing it though as I did with Wolverine.

Re: Prototype
I missed out on some aspects which I would like to add:
Behavioural AI: Bump into one of them & each of them will pass a different comment. It's pretty much like how it works in GTA IV's engine, only change is that it has more population to deal with. If you drop from a rooftop in a crowded area, people around you start panicking & run off. It's amazing to just watch their reaction when they watch a person jump over cars like they were trampolines.
Extreme Physics: Yes this is a critical part of the game. The level of physics in this game is insane. You could pretty much rip apart anything & everything. Bump into people & they have a fluid bump response. Jump from a rooftop & the ground receives a crater. Trees break if you dash in at high speeds. Rendering so many characters & managing each of their individual responses is really difficult. So brownie points on physics.
New York City's portrayal: Yes this has been paid special attention to in this game. They have given a very detailed view of a major part of New York City. Pretty much every building & street seems different from the other. This was something which GTA IV had amazed me with & now it's PROTOTYPE. I have heard that Radical Entertainment had taken 20,000 photos of the city in the initial game development stages. A very nice effort on their part for a good representation of the location.
Thanks. E6600 should manage it, but I'm not sure what video card you're using, so won't be able to comment on the performance.
Like I mentioned in the review, it's usually around 27fps in high density area, but while scaling buildings & low crowd/vehicle concentration, it manages a steady 45-50fps. It's very skippy.
Sure you can.
For the PS3 version? NO. It's better to get the PC version for a relatively cheaper price, if you have a good enough configuration to support it. It should be retailing for Rs. 999, I suppose. So it's worth buying for the PC.
Ghostbuster's is due on 16th of June in North America. So that's next week.
Depends on how much you prefer gameplay over graphics. I don't feel it's so bad that I make it a sole point of bashing the game. I'm more engrossed in what else the game has to offer. It may have compromised a bit on graphics, but in terms of physics & gameplay it's way ahead of inFamous. The level of gore & action too is much more intense than inFamous. I didn't face any pop-in or out issues. Controls are fine on the 360 controller.
Which hack-and-slash/action game doesn't?

Re: Prototype
Ethan... there's a specific difference between the repetitiveness of Prototype and the repetitive nature of Wolverine. Wolverine was fun throughout, till the very end IMO... maybe because the graphics were always a pleasure to look at? Maybe because the animations and textures were far beyond Prototype's? The blood effects, the claw trails, the atmospheric snow/lighting/water effects? Everything blended into a beautiful package which ended up being even better than the movie.
Prototype... :/
Hehe.. will play some more, maybe it'll get better.

Re: Prototype
May be? So you're not sure of it? It was repetitive for sure, just like every other game. What's makes a repetitiveness go away is the variety of enemies the game throws at us. God of War had it & so did Devil May Cry 4. That's what made those games so special. Wolverine repeated the same batch of enemies all throughout the game. If you recall, most of the boss fights were repeated. I loved the game though. Same goes for PROTOTYPE. Some times we must just stop being a "graphics whore" and enjoy the game for what it is.
The recent one? Nope. It's not out on the PC yet. Although I have played the remake, Bionic Commando Rearmed. It was really good, but at the same time very difficult.

Re: Prototype
ok, I will check with Bionic Commando Rearmed -giving me the feel of duke nukem manhattan project
Don't just go for reviews - better if possible play it if any of your friend has it - or the demo (pc); RE5 and SF iv is in my list also
Don't know about Dark void
