You people make me both sick at my stomach, and you make my sides hurt with laughter.

On one hand, you have people who buy into every single piece of hype the media throws at them.

On the other you have people who want to be edgy and have a big ol' bone against society and seethe with hatred against anyone who gets any hype whatsoever.

Like how Metallica lost a huge chunk of fans in the 90's because they became too popular. Its fucking hillarious.

Let me finish with my crazy idea. How about you loons play the game, and decide for yourself instead of being a bunch of goddamn sheep. Its not even out yet and half of you are crucifying it and the other half are praising it.
I agree with this, I said something simmilar before Gears of War 2 came out (I can't remember the thread so if anyone's that desperate to quote me word for word then you can look by yourself, happy hunting), have we played the game yet?

No.

Then we don't know what it's going to be like so we shouldn't jinx ourselves.

It's okay for people to buy into hype and be excited as long as they keep it to themselves or others who do the same (that way they rebound of each other and no-one else gets sick and tired of hearing about it), keep it to yourself because the rest of us don't want to hear it.

I suppose it's also okay for some people to loath and despise hype as long as they follow the same logic, don't get too preachy about it or you're just as bad as the followers of hype.

I always tend to be more suspicious of nay sayers than anyone else when it comes to gaming and pop culture, since emo became popular again it has become popular to dislike everything with a witty sense of self satisfaction ('don't believe what the media and everyone else tells you, I know it's going to be shit because...er...it's gonna be another Halo...but in super stabby mutant form...I wanna play Braid again').

Too much violence, not enough of everything else. That's the impression I got from that video.
Hmmm would you prefer if maybe the game had some fetch quests? How about an escort mission or a dating sim minigame? It's an action game, violence is all there is to it.

Is it just me, or the game doesn't have an actual storyline, just a basic plotline like: "Find what out you are." Renting is a definate.

As for the debate between inFamous and this one, what's the whole deal? To me (head in clouds who barely saw one trailer for the both) they seem very similar in gameplay.

Looks about as dull as inFamous, only without the constant annoying electricity sounds. Also, anyone claiming that the taking over of other people is original needs to play Messiah. Not saying anyone here's said that, but I've seen it around.

In fairness, I'll download the demo and give it a try, but it looks the same as Incredible Hulk, which got boring after an hour or so.

i don't quite see the point of this game. it does look kinda cool. but i'm not totally sold on it to be honest. there's a chance it could be shit. need to play it before i can decide really.

Could be good, most likely won't be better than inFAMOUS.
So far, I haven't seen any trailers that have made me want to get Infamous, just a guy running around shooting electricity at people, all the time.

Meh... by the way, how do they justify the slaughtering of civilians? They don't look like zombies to me.

No. Just no.

And try to not ride the hype-train, it's bad for you.

well. its GTA with mutant cow people things and helicopters and tanks. the only reason id even consider renting it (yes its definately not worth buying) is to make myself look like one of the military. even then theres probably some gay timer until it deactivates. or you cant do anything or else you will turn back to normal.

graphics=7/10
gameplay=6/10
innovation=8/10

(all this is my opinion, you have yours so don't bash me if you think differently)

Sorry man, but that IS a terrible review. Innovation should not be a category. Furthermore, did you notice how when you typed "gameplay" it was underlined? Yeah, that's because it's not a real word...

Oh, and it's not a review because i have not played the game yet. I was only commenting on the video.

Uhhh... no.

This is my prediction for Prototype:
I'll download the demo and it will be neato, but ultimately just a shallow, button mashing, 3D sandbox with nowhere to go and no real challenge. I'll put it on my mental list of games to rent, but never actually rent it. Six months later, I see it used at Gamestop for $18 bucks. I buy it, beat it in two days and return it for full price.

THIS game is already becoming the sleeper console hit of 2009:

Demon's Souls is the game that's finally convinced a friend that's been putting off buying a PS3 since MGS4.
