Prototype 2

Prototype 2's Heller Throws Down in Short Video
Written Tuesday, March 15, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

While this new Prototype 2 trailer doesn't really tell us anything, it does show the strength that Sergeant James Heller - the game's new hero - is packing as he pelts a guy a good few blocks down the street, to the mellow strains of some classical music.

Heller is out to destroy Alex Mercer - the protagonist from the first Prototype - when he's injected with the blacklight virus, lending him some pretty tasty superpowers, as clearly demonstrated in the minute-long vignette.

Check out the short video to see how far Heller punts the hapless soldier before it lands in a messy red splatter. Prototype 2 is out in 2012.

Prototype 1 was fun, but it bored me. I will need to wait some time after release before buying this.

WOW !! There is colour in Prototype 2, the 1st one got so bland after a while.

On a side note: good lighting effects.

Hmmm I hope they fix the mistakes from Prototype. It has a lot of potential just needs to be executed better.

The guy has got a pretty tight spiral on him, reckon the main character used to be a QB?

So a makeshift 'grenade?' Man! This definitely has me excited. Though as #15 pointed out, the AI could use a bit more...awareness.

The first Prototype was one of my favorite games from 2009, so I can't wait to get my hands on #2. Especially if we get fun new abilities like turning enemy soldiers (what are those strange uniforms, I wonder?) into grenades.

@15 & 17: What would you guys like those two soldiers to do about their friend being launched through the air, exactly? Grab him out of the air with their Whipfist ability before he gets lands and goes splat? Oh wait, nope, shit. That's only for Alex and maybe Heller, humans can't do that. So I guess they couldn't really have done anything for their friend.

I loved Prototype. This trailer is a pretty great way of showing its new engine, and it's got me really excited...

But man, I have to say that I'm really bummed out about the change in main character. Alex Mercer was by no means original, but he had a badass outfit that was still basically casual clothes and easy to relate to or self-insert yourself as...Playing as some hardass soldier just isn't the same.

Who knows, maybe it'll be a plot twist that you really are Alex Mercer, kinda like how Agent Smith could take over other Agents in The Matrix. At the very least I'm hoping for an unlockable costume.

Not trying to troll...but that was a bit pointless. Sorry. Still, hope the second one does well.

@23 It's simply a small trailer just to give us an idea how they're doing at the moment. Nowadays developers don't usually do the ol' show one big trailer before launch thing anymore.

OT: Graphics look vastly improved, not that it bothered me in the first one anyway. One of my favourite 1000/1000 games

I can see where 19 is going since the first had that odd convoluted ending but I still enjoyed it. It was like if The Hulk met Carnage in an average sized joe. There were some ridiculous setbacks like being spotted so easily while disguised and escaping tipped one way or the other on the scale but all in all, I had as much fun making up my own missions of infiltrating an area, wiping out all military personel and picking a disguise and escaping unscathed.

I heard really bad reviews and opinions and steered cleared from the first one. Had more than enough good games as it is. Will see if this one turns out better!

@ 27 - It had a LOT of pain in the ass moments for sure but it also had some great ideas. Alex Mercer is one of my favorite anti-heros of the past decade. They just really botched the story by the ending. It had a great sense of destructive freedom on par with Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Think the same team was on the job.
