I so wished this game would have worked. At the time of me buying it, I didn't feel like going through hoops and more hoops to get the game to work. Pass until they've officially fixed the game.
This is a very good game; I played this game years ago on the ps3 (and ps4). It is unfortunate we didn't get a prototype 3 (or a remake of this). The controls do take some time to get use to (in terms of mobility, prototype 2 does fix the tight controls fortunately). The story isn't too convoluted, it is quite easy to connect the dots with alex & the outbreak. If you pay close attention, it is understandable. Overall, a classic. Hopefully this franchise makes a return (or a new studio picks it up).
needed a few tweaks to run but i can finally feel like an edgy teen again
Pretty fucking good game!!!! Just remember to google how to play on newer laptops. Gotta limit the cores for steam down to 4 only. Besides that 10/10 game, held up well.
I'm no stranger to older games and even some of my all time favorites are old games. So it wasnt a problem of it being old. Nah the main problem is that the controls are just AWFUL. And I really do emphasize that. Clanky controls are not always a deal breaker but in Prototype I just cannot put up with it. No manual aiming, the strange camera angles, not being able to move your character properly especially when you're running... and you will be running a hella lot.
So yeah some parts of the game seem fun but even besides the controls it feels idk cartoonish and I'm sure they were not going for that vibe. I would give it a one or two more chances if the controls were but better but nah they are just not. It is what it is.
I love this game, I played it on console years ago and it was fun. I bought it on steam just recently and it was fun here too, but not until after I installed a mod to make the game even function on PC.
THIS GAME RUNS AT 13 FPS ON A 3090TI AND HAS AUDIO THAT CUTS IN AND OUT AT NEARLY THE SAME FREQUENCY WITHOUT A MOD TO PATCH IT and the fact that Activision(?) can keep it listed on steam for normally 20 dollars is insane when it is actually unplayable in the state it's in upon download. Pay the mod creator on nexus who made the patch for this game, aquire the fix and make it part of the game. The fix even gives support for higher resolutions and ultrawide support. With the patch, great game if aged a bit but I can't recommend it in the state it's in else I'm condoning lazy devs putting non functional games on steam.
The old good and, unfortunately, unplayable classics. 7 hours into the game with 4 of them in minimised mode trying to find another non-more-existent workaround for every bug like:
- quiet sound;
- constant crashes on load (fixed with a patch from Nexus) and on checkpoints (never found a workaround);
- losing all the attack powers (long before it should happen in the game... who knows knows);
and tons more.
Since the game is old enough I'd say it's FUBAR. Hope, Activision will relaunch it one day.
Alas, I loved playing it back in the day.
This game will not function on a modern pc without going through annoying steps. Activision should not be able to ask for money given what you need to do to make it run.
For all of you players on steam this game can give you exatcly what you want, violence,brutal consuming,shapeshifting and powers and cool ass armor if you progres into the story, this is perfect game for players that want something very brutal and lots of blood but if you hate blood or violence dont even bother coming on this game once
Game crashes upon staring new game/loading a save. Unplayable.
Edit: It is playable if you download a mod from Nexus but it doesn't exuse the state game is sold in.
I played prototype 2 when i was little and really enjoyed it. one thing about this game is that its just a product of its time. the vibe of the game is cool but the stuff you do gets dull after a quarter of the game. im about halfway and i just cant do it anymore. there's about 10 different objectives/mini games you can do that is stretched over the course of the entire campaign. also the story's delivery can be hard to follow sometimes.
just play the second one
I neve in my life seen a game so porly optimized for the PC, the damn thing won't even fucking load the starting screen without modifing each and every single time the amout of CPU core steam uses!!
Control is really bad, Auto aim often really messed up the gameplay.
Okayyy once you get past the crashing by installing some much needed fixes. It is exactly as I remember playing it as a child at my cousins place on his PS3 in 2009. Ohh man how long it has been. I was itching to play through the Prototype games as recent games haven't really peaked my interest.
I only have one request, either remaster Prototype 1&2 or give us PROTOTYPE 3!!!!!!!
with early 2000s vibes, fast and epic gameplay, good story, iconic characters such as ALEX.
PROTOTYPE still stands as one of the best Games/sequel ACTIVISION has ever made.
I highly recommend it, discount or not.
**be aware of some problems that you'll encounter like crashes, FPS, Resolution, but everything is fixed and all the solutions you can find it in the community hub. have fun playing it.
I played this game on Xbox 360 back in the day. I remember two things about it. It was a very good time, and it was ferociously unbalanced. I decided to grab it on Steam to see if I could shift the balancing more in my favor and relive those good times. You'll want to grab the community patch on Nexus Mods to get this game running on modern machines. And you'll probably want to get Cheat Engine set up to tolerate certain aspects of it. Definitely a good time when you just want to zone out and smash things.
Listening to edgy music and playing Prototype 2009, as god intended, a life changing experience.
10/10 game my favorite rage room.
Don't think they play tested a single story mission after the first third of the game. Abysmal balancing. Liked the story, characters, and overall aesthetic but not enough to bash my head against the wall every time I start the next mission.
The game is often cracked and everyone in the community has tried everything to fix the game's cracks. In short, don't buy this game, it's a waste of money. Part 2 is similar.
Very fun also i have low end pc so its great. Very fun and I like chopping ppl up!
TLDR; game promises fun chaos, it's actually just a mess.
I have fond memories of this game. I really like how over the top it is and the absolute chaos you can cause. Like other things like traversal (mostly) and the Web of Intrigue where you consume subjects to gradually piece the backstory from their memories. It's all pretty awesome on paper, but the execution...
After 15 hours I decided to shelve this game because I was simply not having fun anymore. It's too frustrating, too infuriating. The game sells the idea that you're this unstoppable force, but you're actually at the mercy of its quirks. I'm not talking about giving you a challenge, which is fair, but that the game constantly sabotages itself through poor gameplay decisions.
You're constantly stunlocked. Hunters, which are a common enemy, have a chain attack that can stunlock you and delete 3/4 of your maxed out health. You can't really block or dodge. Everything is too chaotic to allow for any tactical thinking. Targetting is fiddly as hell, the camera goes all over the place, there's 50 enemies attacking and stunning you all the time. Including while you're grabbing and consuming enemies for healing, which means you're constantly healing for zero actual health gain. Many fights become this boring routine of (trying to) finding a quieter corner where you can consume lesser enemies and then chip away at the boss's health bar. And the game loves escorting missions where you need to defend an NPC and it all comes down to a DPS check and blind luck.
In short: this game is a damn mess.
Good times playing this back in the day. Probably paved the way for a lot of other 3rd person open world action games.
I recommend this game....this game is very awesome and i have played both versions prototype 1 and prototype 2...i really love this game...the animations and rest everything...its beautiful
peak game
The game for the most part still holds up if you can forgive the crap controls. Some of the bosses, especially the end one are brutally difficult and possibly the hardest boss fights I've ever played largely because the controls just absolutely suck. Other boss fights I don't even know how they're even possible without cheesing them.
But they shouldn't be selling a game that doesn't work without a modder having to fix it for them.
You need the "PrototypeFix - CrashFix - FPSFix - FrameDouble fix" mod on Nexus to even run it.
Crashes mid cutscene on some of the hardest/longest levels lead you to have to replay the level again, just to crash again, unless you quickly skip the cutscene to fix it. If you don't know to skip the cutscene you'll just crash every time.
Crashes with a 100% rate at a specific cutscene, not even particularly long into the game unfortunately. Can't remember if I have the patch or not.
good game
Great game, shame the pc port is just broken
Got a lot of nostalgia for this game and replayed it recently.
The controls kinda annoyed me at times so I didn't always enjoy playing the game and the story isn't anything special.
Still, it's a fun and unique experience, would love to see something like this again.
good ol
Absolute gem from my xbox 360 days. Still runs very well, need a few tweaks to run on windows 10 and 8 core processors link below helps with that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4cmh5eX38w
Great fun game when its on offer, give both of them a go simple and fun
Awsome
Dogshit game with dogshit controls.
I wish we could get another game like this its been decades
[PROTOTYPE] will forever stay in my heart. Thank you Radical Entertainment for childhood memories. ❤️
The Elizabeth Greene boss fight is just ass. Not based on skill, just pure timewaster.
It's not working on my gaming laptop!
run A to B
watch cutscene
kill or consume enemy
watch cutscene
run back to A
repeat
very fun and flowy, 2nd one is prob better tho
Amazing horror-themed power fantasy. Sadly very unpolished. The voice acting and writing are below average, some missions are very annoying and the controls can feel a bit awkward at times.
After a few hours of trying this and that "quick fixes" i got the game to work for about an hour. it crashed and even after a reinstall the game never even loads to the menu. full black screen every time its run. It was once an old favorite of mine, so sad to see its finally a dead game.
I had a blast playing this game in 2013, and I never experienced any other game from the games I have played over the years bring the same feeling of being OP and shapeshifting combined with environments and the free roam aspect of this game.
I really wish XBOX would consider renewing this IP and I see a lot of untapped potential in today's market with UE5, I would totally buy this game again if remastered with today's tech.
*SPOILER*
The 2nd iteration of this game made Alex Mercer the villain by the end of Prototype 2 and thats where I believe the story and direction suffered, if they had continued with Alex Mercer as the hero, Prototype trilogy would have been possible and perhaps a remaster as well with the current tech.
Well I hope someone makes Prototype or similar franchise with current tech and game engines would love to experience a similar game !
9/10 !!
Gorey mayhem in its purest form. 9/10
Firstly, a warning: This game WILL NOT run without you using THIS MOD (there's also one for Prototype 2) and even then, there's a high likelihood that your audio ingame will be EXTREME low. Which you can SOMEWHAT fix with one of these options. However, dialogue ingame will still be inaudible. So I HIGHLY recommend turning subtitles on. The good news is that, thanks to that mod, you don't have to do the old CPU core limiting or anything and it fixes some other things. I LITERALLY couldn't play the game for the longest time because even though I limited my cores so I could boot the game, I still crashed often and the game was unplayably jank.
SO, thanks to that wonderful mod, I'm finally able to play the game. And WOW! Talk about the ultimate power fantasy.
There's a lot I could say about this game but I'll just give a short pros/cons list
PROS:
- Decent story. Although you can't get "all" of it unless you look around the city to find people to consume and give you the story tidbits. And there's A LOT. Tying the lore to what is essential collectables kinda suck. The good part is, you run into maybe 70% of them just by playing. And even then, you kinda get the gist of the very basic story by the end
- Extremely fun gameplay and movement. It reminds me A LOT of basically every Spiderman/Batman Arkham game. You can sale every building by "parkouring" up it, as well as eventually glide around.
- Combat is great. Very fluid, very fun. Combine it with the carnage and gore and you're literally an unstoppable killing machine
CONS:
- Some of the voice acting and animations are kinda.. eh. Even for a game from 2009, I feel like it could've been better. It's not HORRIBLE but the VA's just don't sound "into it", I guess.
- The fact this game needs mods and a hex edit to be 90% playable is extremely stupid. I'm glad it's available, but it should be playable out of the box.
[*]The biggest one: The difficulty and the boss fights. Good lord. I usually don't get frustrated at games. I love Monster Hunter. Soulsbornes can get a little annoying but it's always nice to push through. THIS game... for a "normal" difficulty, it's almost excruciatingly difficult. DO NOT hesitate to play on easy. Infact, I doubt easy difficulty would be much easier. Feel free to say "skill issue", but you cannot tell me fighting the bosses in this game were fun in ANY way. Anyway. Just be warned, despite being a power fantasy, this game WILL kick you down when it wants to. It will quite literally THROW everything it has at you, especially in the later half of the game.
Overall,
I'm glad I finally got to play this game. I remember seeing the game on store shelves when I was a kid, but was never allowed to play it. Finally, thanks to the mod I mentioned, I can play it! And, despite the hair-ripping frustrating bosses, I enjoyed it a lot. HIGHLY recommend to anyone interested!
I played the game in childhood and i playing it now. Its so good, ultimate shapeshifter who got op powers. 10/10 i recommend to try it out
Really fun oldschool game. Loved it back then, still love it now.
you get to kill everybody in this game. this game is approved. 😎
I have passed this brutal masterpiece for the first time this evening. Prototype 1 is 3rd person over the top brutal game and I have to wrote it. Almost 20 hours of gameplay. You take the role of handsome young man called Alex Mercer and you are not human just like the others. You are prototype of deadly virus and human togeter mixed. As man, who forgot who he was, just with help wtih your sister you are finding out, what happened to you and to Manhattan, which is fulfilled with infection spreading mutants, infected like zombies and huge beasts full of power and flesh. With deadly weapons, which you are getting from your enemies by consuming them, you are not just taking their life, but also their memories and in addition you have to cut your way to complete your missions with hundreds of marines, soldiers, tanks, helicopters and so on, finding out, what happened and why there is infection in the city of Manhattan.
I will give this game 8,5/10. Main advantages are: mysterious story, massacres and destruction of the city (really enjoyable and full of excitements), upgrades of weapons, abilities, movements, main character, graphics and effects, but what is negative on this game is it´s difficulty, because on normal difficultý it was almost impossible to pass some missions for a long time. This game will challenge and push your limits to the highest points.
A really fun game, even though I seriously suck at it :-D. But it's my fault, not the game's. I first started playing on normal, but had to quit at I think around 5 missions before the end, just got too difficult. So I restarted on easy. Still barely managed to fight through it :-D. You really have to be on top of all the available powers in this game - what to use and when and what the combos are for activating different abilities. I always struggle with that kind of gameplay when you have to make decisions very quickly during combat.
Of course, that's when you want to finish the story. You can definitely just play the sidequests, gather money and go nuts freeroaming. Causing all kinds of havoc is very fun in this game.
But yeah, I definitely recommend this game, it's a lot of fun.
Edit: I saw some comments about how this game is weirdly quiet. I noticed that too. Not a very big deal IMHO, but you definitely have to crank up the volume for this game, it's kinda odd.
I played this game years ago and after seeing it in my shelf I felt the need to play the game again. Granted I had to download something to get it to work but overall the game still feels the same as it did years ago. So happy I got to play again.
