The thing I did the most when I played prototype 1 as a kid was to disguise as a soldier and walk with another military unit into the contaminated zones, shooting zombies like everyone else or riding a tank with that squad until they die or smth. It was genuinely the most fun thing I did in this game
So validating. I used to do that all the time. I replayed both games last year and tried doing that again, and I’m telling you, it’s still so much fun.
My god I thought I was the only one lol it was fun to RP as a squad who was sent in (I’d just make up a scenario and talk to my troops like they were actually listening)
To see a Prototype 3 developed, with next gen graphics, physics simulation, and mechanics, would bring me to literal tears of joy... I still consider both of these games among my favourite of all time
worried theyll never recreate the energy of proprtype1 in a new game, maybe a direct recreatinon of proptoype1 would be more ideal, but like he said,to me protoype1 era of gaming seems like it wont be going mainstream again, but yeah we have gta6 that will set pace for the future
the thing i don't get about this video is that he didn't talk about how downgraded P2 was considering that he talked about how none of the devs that worked on the 1st one was when making P2 and the environments are arguably more destructive since they look the same in terms of variety
Well they weren't ever really a threat to mercer Despite all their efforts not even a nuke could kill him And considering Alex is pretty damn smart and only gains knowledge as he consumes the military was fighting an uphill battle against Alex They were really only a threat to regular infected but even then it's only because they were 5 steps ahead at first but once the virus got going the military stopped being as effective
The best thing is looking for the buffed water tank zombies and having an air fight with them, bro several of my life’s wishes came true when i found four at the same time.😊
Prototype was so underrated, I just loved playing as Alex Mercer choking up people by one hand and throwing them off far as I could with the throw upgrades. Glad people still remember it
Ah this game contains so many memories from my teenage years, stands out as one of my most memorable gaming experiences and still is the game that crops to mind when I think of gaming
I'm still playing Prototype 1 and 2 till this day. And I still want and hoping for a 3rd sequel. We should not let this game die. I played this game when I was 23 years old. I'm now 37 and would still play this game. This game is on a different level.
OMG I can't believe 37 years olds are still willing to play games! I mean I'm 28 and I've already lost interest in things like games and movies! I can't find fun as I used to! But you Don't let that inner child die!
@@shubham4845honestly same though im 22 and I feel the same i'll play a game or put on a movie just as a light source when it's nighttime cuz id rather do that than turn on this bright light
Prototype actually really reminded me of the Venom gameplay from Ultimate Spiderman, a game that seemingly very few people played. Venom has the ability to eat people to heal, his limbs can change form (though it's more of a temporary thing and being tied to specific attacks as opposed to a true morph), he could run up walls, instead of web slinging he could leap really high into the air, he has an execution style grab, and can throw objects and people. Prototype, to me, always felt like a spiritual successor to that game specific as your goal as venom was to bring violence rather than actually break things.
Dude I loved this game, played this in 2010 and spent hundreds of hours. The amount of chaos you can do like elbow dropping a tank, hijacking it and slicing choppers, it got me so hooked
Man I miss that edgy era of games. Prototype was my jam. That turn-off-your-brain kind of fun. There's certainly still a market for those kinds of games because I and others like myself are still here.
@@ChristianProtossDragoon Explain to me how ripping scores of the human population while their guts are dangling into your body as you absorb them *isn't* edgy? What do you consider as edgy?
Mercenaries , prototype and infamous deserve more love and attention . I’d love to see a modern remake or more sequels for any of those 3 franchises . They did it with destroy all humans 1 and 2 remake. They can do it for these
After the Destroy All Humans Remake, a remake of the first two Prototype games immediately came to mind. I think doing a remake of the first two games would be a great way to see interest in the series and maybe can spark a third game if the remakes do well. Just imagine how epic the game would be with the latest advancements in graphics :)
One thing that always bugged me about the second game is how they never explained what changed Alex Mercer to be the big bad in the second games. They revealed that information in a set of comics but a majority of the fan base never knew why. Incase anyone is wondering I'll explain. Basically after the event of the first game Alex's DNA got on the bird making him alive again. After coming back to NY he went soul searching so to speak to see if saving humanity and in turn risking his own life was worth anything. After a number of months Alex came to the realization that humanity was essentially filth. They didn't care about anyone but themselves. Hence why he does everything in the second game. Wish they would've explained that to the casual audience
I barely remember the storyline in the first game, I was also way too young to understand it. But didn't he discover that he himself released the virus and then wanted revenge for the military trying to kill it? I can't really remember.
@@ronrogers1344 no that's completely wrong. The Mercer we play as in Prototype 1 is just the Blacklight virus using the original Mercer's body as a puppet. The virus itself even states what Alex did is unforgivable and he's a terrible person
@@ronrogers1344 the mercer we played as wasn't even really mercer. it was the virus who after consuming Alex became self aware. Alex himself was basically the first victim and the fragmented memories form the player characters personality.
God this game, i spent so much time playing this game when i was a kid, seeing the city fall and deteriorate overtime as the infection spread was the coolest shit i have ever seen, the sheer chaos the game gives you was amazing for it's tome
@@boooomerwang Yup remake the 1st game with today graphics and we gucci. Might as well reboot the sequel and keep Mercer as main character. They think just put in a black dude with deep voice that say "fuck" in every sentence is gonna be badass and cool and make the game interesting/successful. Next thing they know is that they got laid off
Prototype is still one of my favorite franchises today. I have 2 friends where we'll go a while without talking about it, but as soon as one of us mentions it we all have to replay the games. It's not a "requirement" or a joke or anything. It's just that they resonate with us so much. Prototype gives us so much freedom to just get out any frustrations we have irl. Sometimes it feels good to just dive into the game and crank up your wanted level and just reek carnage on the world. On top of that, I may be one of the few that really liked the second game's story. Yes it was a bit weaker than the first, but I still enjoyed it and was immersed for the duration. And I've been begging for, at least, a conclusion to the story. One positive thing to be noted, though! These games were brought to the PS4, bringing them forward to another generation. That's more than we can say about a lot of games that have been left in the past with no way to replay them. I chose to see it as a sign they weren't completely giving up on the games. But even if they do, at least they haven't completely taken them from us, especially since PS5 has backward compatibility with PS4 games. Thank you for the video
I introduced a buddy to these games recently, he doesn't play a ton of games and he plays single player on the xbox360. He said he had never heard of prototype, so I ended up stopping at a used game store and picking up a copy of 1 and 2 for cheap and he loved them. They are still really solid single player games from a better time in gaming
Prototype was the first game I ever played that let you play as every NPC you wanted to. The shere roleplay potential kept me busy for weeks and months! Plus a really fun gameplay loop
The majority of people around me had infamous and I had prototype which I still love to this day It’s so much gore filled fun. Definitely felt like a M rated venom game and the sequel was AMAZING
prototype and web of shadows are more similar than each other compared to prototype being very similar to inFAMOUS considering that web of shadows came out the year before i think
I recently played both Prototype 1&2 and I have to say it was a blast ♥️ While playing the first game you could tell there was a lot of love coming from the Activision team that made the OG Spider-Man 2 game. While playing this game you can deff tell it had its influences from other series at the time.
Imagine if we got a new-gen Prototype 3 with a Jekyll and Hyde type of story, where Heller sometimes loses control and you get to play as him and Mercer back and forth, and maybe the story is them trying to reconcile living in the same body and mind, and oh the destructive, super-powered free-roaming with the new consoles’ potential sounds like too good of a dream come true.
Thats a brilliant idea, I'd take the day off work to play that when it came out. I loved prototype 1, and although 2's gameplay was better, the story was pretty weak. I'd love a 3 that sets things right and finishes off the story. If they did make your version of 3, I think they'd probably ruin it with micro-transactions and a terrible modern day repartee between Mercer and Heller, a'la Forspoken. They'd have to try and take it back to the gritty grunginess of the 2000's for it to be good I think, which I don really think is acceptable to mainstream publishers these days.
My little brother of barely 6 grew up on Prototype. I came to visit this year and out of all the AAA games that we have today, he's still playing Prototype, and mentions it as his favorite game of all time. He's about to go to college now, and he still loves the game. *WE NEED PROTOTYPE 3!*
Prototype will always be, one of my favourite game of its time. Truly one of the most fun game I've ever played. I'd wish to see even a hint of it being brought back.
Ahhh, these games take me back....I ended up winning the Gamestop April pre-order sweepstakes for that year and took home the custom painted Camero. I even got Alex Mercers symbol tattooed on my shoulder to immortalize the moment. I really wish they did more with the series, but I'll always have the memories.
Using only armor and shield just running straight on the streets blowing human and vehicles away, musclemass punching people's body out of existence with normal attacks, prototype managed to make even the ordinary things fun.
I played this game when i was 10yrs old. One of the greatest game of my life that gives me unforgettable memories and this game becomes a part of my life... I lived each and every moment of my life in this game... still waiting for Prototype 3 since 13yrs
Why not mix them? You'll become a conduit that manipulates biomass and then gain all those fancy powers like a organic version of smoke dash where you transform into a flock of bats or birds instead and then refil your conduit powers by absorbing people
The one thing that I absolutely loved from the first game was the Military blotter that Mercer could hear when he was being hunted by special army units. And the destruction expenditure (at the end of a chapter) was a nice touch to make the player realize how much mayhem he caused that day.
Stranger of Paradise is proof that Early 2000's edginess is still alive and well. There is a place for a Prototype 3 in the current gaming landscape and hopefully the time is sooner rather than later.
This & incredible hulk ultimate destruction were the only games when i was a kid that, when you would jump or fall from a great height, the ground would crack & shatter when you hit the ground. This game took that whole premise to a whole other level. I just always found that so satisfying
I used to play prototype 1 a lot but i didn't finish it.And then prototype 2 came out and ive finished that game more then 5 times and im still not tired of it.I hope they make another.If they do it will do sooo good.
One of my favorite games and a most desired for a remake or expand upon games. Interesting story, interesting powers with a very immersive and unique feel. Will definitely be replaying it.
This is just like what happened to Titanfall, after Titanfall 2 it was very clear that the publishers are not interested to make a 3rd game despite the the later huge popularity of the game and the huge support of the playerbase wanting a 3rd game. There was also so many potential for the game and it saddens me that they do not pursue the possibility of an amazing game.
I have good memories of this franchise. Not the best i've played but it was a fun time and memorable. What stuck to me was with the higher outbreak zones. At the High danger Zone you almost got an end of the world feeling with mutants everywhere and a war between the military and the mutants. It would've been cool to see what a third game in this time would be like. We also need a game similar to The incredible hulk : ultimate destruction. That game was damn good.
Subbed. This remains a favorite of mine to this day. I used to parkour for so long and so intensely that I'd forget to blink and cry while I played this game. Anyone who recognizes what a gem this game is deserves my respect. And yeah as someone that got very invested in the games and story: Gameplay: Prototype 2 > Prototype 1 Story: Prototype 1 >>>>> Prototype 2
I want a 3rd entry so bad. If not, it's a series that can truly benefit for a very well thought out, updated reboot. I know that may sound sickening to many people, but I think it could work.
Prototype 1 and 2 are still some of my favorite games, in fact I made a play through of both recently. As everyone is saying, a new one on next gen (2 gens new actually) would be badass!!!
It truly hurts when this happens to good games, so many title-worthy games fadeaway into obscurity. Another one that lives in my head rent-free is Golden Sun! God I loved that game
Golden Sun is one of my favorites. On the bright side with this one. Maybe letting the franchise end is better than what Activision would do if it kept going.
I played first part back in 2015 on my cousin sister's laptop. But got stuck at a mission where a cutscene about a powerful girl came and Alex falls from the building and we had to fight those monsters in a warehouse. It was too difficult, so i left. Then didn't get the chance to play again as my cousin's temporary stay of six months ended :(
I bought the Biohazard Bundle on PS5 for 4$ and although it outputs 1080p 30fps i played both of them for the nostalgia and "hoping" one day Activision give the series another go.
Alex Mercer was such an interesting character to play and get to know as you played the game. When I think of this game and the parkour mechanics and all of the abilities at your disposal it was absolutely fun. The only problem I have with this game is that the missions get a little too similar and after a while you just feel like you are on massive repeat and ready for the ride to be over. That being said I am not disappointed with the game I have never played the sequel but I would be willing to play a third installment if the chance ever presents itself.
There are two things I want to see: A legend of dragoon remake/remaster and Prototype 3. I couldn't care less about anything else but these two things in gaming.
i still play both games to this day, and whenever a friend of mine says they never played the game i'll buy both for them on Steam. my way of keeping the franchise and the fanbase alive
We need Prototype 3 so badly! The prototype series needs to continue! It's the best and if I could I would slap the people who were against continuing the series till they can't live without it! That's how much I love Prototype!
Probably one of the best games that made you feel like a powerful antihero/villain. Something newer Superhero games that flopped should have taken note of.
4:15 - I'm surprised you didn't mention taxi cars, there was overabundance of them because they saved space on car models, what it resulted in is that you saw unrealistic amount of taxi cars everywhere and it just catches the eye every time - every critic was talking about it :D
I still remember rage quitting this game during one of the late game missions. Had to complete a mission under a strict time limit while being hounded by the zombies and the army at the same time. I tried and failed that mission so many times, I lost count and quit it.
What happen at the time was prototype and infamous came out around the same time and prototype at the time had more hype behind it. Ppl started checking out Infamous and liked it better.
Hopefully if the Microsoft buyout goes through, they will bring Prototype back to life with a third game. The games are still amazing and unique in their brutality, especially now when the open world superhero genre seems to be really scarce. Also, the parkour and entire movement system from the first game is superior, bring that one back.
@Danial Syahiran honestly at this point do you really care? It's either they remake Prototype or make a sequel to the second game and it's either amazing or horrible, or they abandon the IP completely and we never get another Prototype again. I'd take the chances
This is the only game I had pre-ordered in my life there was a hidden mechanic where if you held the weapon wheel button during certain in game cinematic cutscenes like consuming a an orange military target or destroying a base or hive it would do it in slow motion man I miss this game elbow dropping a tank from the top of Empire State or pile driving someone into a building damn them was good times
@@danko5866 by accident whenever you hold the weapon wheel button down time slows down in the game if you press it just before an in game cutscene it slows the cutscene down as well

It was genuinely the most fun thing I did in this game
OMG same here
Right? It's like the opposite of GTA 5 with mods. The game was to be played with superpowers but you stick to grounded gunplay

Activision is to blame for the series downfall
I love that the military is competent against the zombies and an actual threat to Alex Mercer in both gameplay and lore.

And considering Alex is pretty damn smart and only gains knowledge as he consumes the military was fighting an uphill battle against Alex

My little brother of barely 6 grew up on Prototype. I came to visit this year and out of all the AAA games that we have today, he's still playing Prototype, and mentions it as his favorite game of all time. He's about to go to college now, and he still loves the game.
*WE NEED PROTOTYPE 3!*
I would love a 3rd installment of this. Awesome series
Prototype will always be, one of my favourite game of its time. Truly one of the most fun game I've ever played. I'd wish to see even a hint of it being brought back.
Ahhh, these games take me back....I ended up winning the Gamestop April pre-order sweepstakes for that year and took home the custom painted Camero. I even got Alex Mercers symbol tattooed on my shoulder to immortalize the moment. I really wish they did more with the series, but I'll always have the memories.
Yo, I gotta see that tattoo design
Yeah same i need to see it
Glad to see so many people enjoyed this game as much as I did. I hope a part 3 that takes the epicness to the next level gets made
Prototype is one of the greatest power fantasy games ever, using the huge blade and the armor at the same time was amazing
Hammer fists jumping off a building to fly thru a tank was too gangster.
Using only armor and shield just running straight on the streets blowing human and vehicles away, musclemass punching people's body out of existence with normal attacks, prototype managed to make even the ordinary things fun.
I played this game when i was 10yrs old. One of the greatest game of my life that gives me unforgettable memories and this game becomes a part of my life... I lived each and every moment of my life in this game... still waiting for Prototype 3 since 13yrs
I loved both Infamous and Prototype. Would love either franchise to come back.
Why not mix them?
You'll become a conduit that manipulates biomass and then gain all those fancy powers like a organic version of smoke dash where you transform into a flock of bats or birds instead and then refil your conduit powers by absorbing people
The fact this video got over 400k views. Means people want a sequel
The one thing that I absolutely loved from the first game was the Military blotter that Mercer could hear when he was being hunted by special army units. And the destruction expenditure (at the end of a chapter) was a nice touch to make the player realize how much mayhem he caused that day.
Fun fact : A Canceled Spider-man 4 game was going to use the same engine used in prototype it was being developed before the cancelation of the movie
Stranger of Paradise is proof that Early 2000's edginess is still alive and well. There is a place for a Prototype 3 in the current gaming landscape and hopefully the time is sooner rather than later.
Bullshit. *walks away, refuses to elaborate*
someone is starting a fan project I'm here to ask as many people as possible to help out in anyway they can
This & incredible hulk ultimate destruction were the only games when i was a kid that, when you would jump or fall from a great height, the ground would crack & shatter when you hit the ground. This game took that whole premise to a whole other level. I just always found that so satisfying
Yes! I was about to meantion this, Hulk UD was fire as hell, if they remade this games for next gen it would out sell so much
I would climb the highest buildings just for this..
I used to play prototype 1 a lot but i didn't finish it.And then prototype 2 came out and ive finished that game more then 5 times and im still not tired of it.I hope they make another.If they do it will do sooo good.
One of my favorite games and a most desired for a remake or expand upon games. Interesting story, interesting powers with a very immersive and unique feel. Will definitely be replaying it.
Imagine a Prototype online game where the city is filled with other powered players fighting each other.
This video honestly is going to make me redownload and play them again. I remember having so much fun with both these games
I always loved the mechanics in Prototype... It was so fun to play and I was blown away by the stuff you could do. Awesome video, very well made 💙
Prototype's Gameplay was really great. The franchise deserve another installment.
This is just like what happened to Titanfall, after Titanfall 2 it was very clear that the publishers are not interested to make a 3rd game despite the the later huge popularity of the game and the huge support of the playerbase wanting a 3rd game. There was also so many potential for the game and it saddens me that they do not pursue the possibility of an amazing game.
I have good memories of this franchise. Not the best i've played but it was a fun time and memorable. What stuck to me was with the higher outbreak zones. At the High danger Zone you almost got an end of the world feeling with mutants everywhere and a war between the military and the mutants. It would've been cool to see what a third game in this time would be like. We also need a game similar to The incredible hulk : ultimate destruction. That game was damn good.
Still remains one of my favorite of all time. The gameplay, the story, the powers everything is amazing and memorable.
I really hope they make a modern take of this game. So much fun
Subbed. This remains a favorite of mine to this day. I used to parkour for so long and so intensely that I'd forget to blink and cry while I played this game.
Anyone who recognizes what a gem this game is deserves my respect.
And yeah as someone that got very invested in the games and story:
Gameplay: Prototype 2 > Prototype 1
Story: Prototype 1 >>>>> Prototype 2
I had a fantastic time on both the Prototype games and the Infamous games. Each had their pros and cons. But I still love both franchises.
Prototype 1 is like the first lover of my teenage era that I will always remembered
Awesome game. The powers themselves and how good the conrol of those powers felt was awesome
A Prototype Reboot with Alex Mercer via next-gen would be awesome
I want a 3rd entry so bad. If not, it's a series that can truly benefit for a very well thought out, updated reboot. I know that may sound sickening to many people, but I think it could work.
Prototype 1 and 2 are still some of my favorite games, in fact I made a play through of both recently. As everyone is saying, a new one on next gen (2 gens new actually) would be badass!!!
It truly hurts when this happens to good games, so many title-worthy games fadeaway into obscurity.
Another one that lives in my head rent-free is Golden Sun! God I loved that game
At least Golden Sun is back somewhat by Nintendo Online Service
Golden Sun is one of my favorites. On the bright side with this one. Maybe letting the franchise end is better than what Activision would do if it kept going.
I played first part back in 2015 on my cousin sister's laptop. But got stuck at a mission where a cutscene about a powerful girl came and Alex falls from the building and we had to fight those monsters in a warehouse. It was too difficult, so i left. Then didn't get the chance to play again as my cousin's temporary stay of six months ended :(
I'm so down for a 3rd Prototype.
I bought the Biohazard Bundle on PS5 for 4$ and although it outputs 1080p 30fps i played both of them for the nostalgia and "hoping" one day Activision give the series another go.
Alex Mercer was such an interesting character to play and get to know as you played the game. When I think of this game and the parkour mechanics and all of the abilities at your disposal it was absolutely fun. The only problem I have with this game is that the missions get a little too similar and after a while you just feel like you are on massive repeat and ready for the ride to be over. That being said I am not disappointed with the game I have never played the sequel but I would be willing to play a third installment if the chance ever presents itself.
Hey, if you ask me, InFAMOUS and [PROTOTYPE] DESPERATELY NEED a remaster! ❤
This was a great game. The body surfing was epic.
Activision is too busy making COD remakes
Still my favorite game ever. I would kill for a reboot.
That writing sound effect gave me goosebumps every single time... :( Great video but it was hard to watch.
There are two things I want to see: A legend of dragoon remake/remaster and Prototype 3. I couldn't care less about anything else but these two things in gaming.
Holy crap I didn’t know Nerdstalgic had another channel? This dude is phenomenal.
man coming back to and learning that the 3rd game was scrapped due to concord
I wanted to play this so bad as a kid! The commercial looked so cool
i still play both games to this day, and whenever a friend of mine says they never played the game i'll buy both for them on Steam. my way of keeping the franchise and the fanbase alive
My favourite childhood game ❤, Prototype deserves a remake with alex mercer as its protagonist
To me it’s still depressing that one of my favourite franchises ever got killed for basically no reason.
What a nostalgia trip! Absolutely loved prototype. If TDU can come out with a 3rd game, I can have hope that prototype can too.
We need Prototype 3 so badly! The prototype series needs to continue! It's the best and if I could I would slap the people who were against continuing the series till they can't live without it! That's how much I love Prototype!
I loved Prototype 1 so much, would be awesome to have something similar again
Probably one of the best games that made you feel like a powerful antihero/villain. Something newer Superhero games that flopped should have taken note of.
Should Prototype 1 & 2 get a Remake?🤔
I have 2 on xbox I'd look for a disc version though, it's still expensive on the store
prototype 2 was the one that i played, oml seeing the title for this video unlocked half my childhood
The Prototype games were brilliant and great fun to play.
4:15 - I'm surprised you didn't mention taxi cars, there was overabundance of them because they saved space on car models, what it resulted in is that you saw unrealistic amount of taxi cars everywhere and it just catches the eye every time - every critic was talking about it :D
I still remember rage quitting this game during one of the late game missions. Had to complete a mission under a strict time limit while being hounded by the zombies and the army at the same time. I tried and failed that mission so many times, I lost count and quit it.
Quitter.. you bring much dishonor to your famiry.
What happen at the time was prototype and infamous came out around the same time and prototype at the time had more hype behind it. Ppl started checking out Infamous and liked it better.
Hopefully if the Microsoft buyout goes through, they will bring Prototype back to life with a third game. The games are still amazing and unique in their brutality, especially now when the open world superhero genre seems to be really scarce. Also, the parkour and entire movement system from the first game is superior, bring that one back.
I think they would remake the series
@Danial Syahiran honestly at this point do you really care? It's either they remake Prototype or make a sequel to the second game and it's either amazing or horrible, or they abandon the IP completely and we never get another Prototype again. I'd take the chances
Bro I remember seeing the trailer for this game as a kid and thought it was the most badass shit ever
Best game ever made. It satisfied my urge of just causing destruction and having pure enjoyment of just doing ridiculous gory things
Sending the FBI your location asap
@@metroboomincam2787 wait that’s not what I meant 😂
@@silentagony1019 LMAOOO
a remake or a remaster will hit the spot
Hopefully Microsoft brings the franchise back after acquiring Activision.
I hope so too. THey need ips. Prototype is one game i REALY hope they revive.
Will never forget the days when infamous and prototype had their fifteen minutes. Love both games
My childhood game and one of the best games i ever played, i need to install it and complete it again :)
The second Protoytpe has quality of life changes, but if you put those in the first one it would blow the second out of the water
Both games are still playable to this day I hope they get to make a part 3
Imagine a prototype and Venom crossover.
Proto Venom
Activision at it finest, Guys put soul into the game and make best selling game of the year, while activision lays them out the next year LOL
prototype had one of the best jumps and moves, it actually felt like we had those hands, for 2009, it was reallly impressive
One of my favorite games ever. Acrivision destroyed this franchise...
This is the only game I had pre-ordered in my life there was a hidden mechanic where if you held the weapon wheel button during certain in game cinematic cutscenes like consuming a an orange military target or destroying a base or hive it would do it in slow motion man I miss this game elbow dropping a tank from the top of Empire State or pile driving someone into a building damn them was good times
Interesting, how did you find out about that hidden mechanic?
@@danko5866 by accident whenever you hold the weapon wheel button down time slows down in the game if you press it just before an in game cutscene it slows the cutscene down as well
I love both prototype and infamous its very sad there has not been any other game similar to these franchises since infamous second son :/
