I think it’s funny the scientists didn’t even take of Alex’s jacket let alone his clothes to try and do an autopsy. Just like a “eh whatever” moment from then
Well.... they can't as those weren't clothes.
If they were thinking of removing his "clothes", they'd attempt cutting them off with the scalpel but Mercer woke up.
The drip was too strong
So that means had the autopsy team removed Mercer's clothes, we'd instead have a naked Alex Mercer rampaging through New York since he forgot what clothes are?
But seriously, even with the whole "virus replicated every particle of his body" why did it also replicated his clothes too? Seems that they either have to make it like Mystique's power or have players hunt for clothes every 5 minutes.
@@thientuongnguyen2564 Maybe since the clothes have Mercer's sweat and blood on them they become technically a part of him or the virus used his memory to replicate his form, his clothes included as a body for it to move like a human being and blend in to one as well.
The jacket was never removed, as he lives in it 24h/day every day for so many years. So it is most likely grown into his skin.
RIP Alex Mercer and Cole MacGrath.. Both of you will be missed.
ion know if anyones gonna miss alex bro 💀
Well good news, they're going to battle each other in death battle on the 25th of September
@chimpo961 and im glad it was cole
alex mercer literally tried to commit world domination ion think they gon hold a funeral for him😭😭

i agree, he channels the Birmingham spirit within him

I really want there to be a Prototype 3 where Alex is alive inside Heller. The whole game is about which character you want to see on top. In the end you get to decide the dominant personality.
That would have been great, they had so many oppourtunities they could have just said he WAS the infection and just have them reconstruct his body from any organics🤷🏻♂️ (that being the laziest, off of the top of my head solution to the problem of heller absorbing him) although i always thought piriah would turn out to be mercer.
@@jasonr.c.390 both Alex and Heller are the infection, difference is Heller was human and hold on to his humanity, while Alex, after his spiritual journey which was, for whatever reason, restricted to a comic book saw humans as something far worse than a virus and wanted to make a world where everyone is equal, as in everyone is a virus
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola To be fair, Alex Mercer is the virus, whatever left of Alex Mercer died when his original self unleashed it at Central station.
Actually a good concept
"where Alex is alive inside Heller"
_🤨_
Considering the fact that Alex Mercer came back from just a cell I think there's plenty of reason to believe that the 2 or 3 sets of arms that Keller ripped off of Mercer are more than enough for him to return for a 3rd game. Or perhaps the 3rd game could involve Keller having to suppress Mercer and it could have 2 possible endings, good ending is Keller finds a way to completely suppress him or get rid of the virus completely. And the bad ending could be Mercer takes full control of Keller's body making it his own allowing him to continue his plans. Either way they need to make a 3rd Prototype
Greene hasn't regenerated from tons of her blood tho
@@thistextismeaningless8238*whispering* they can also use that as an excuse to bring her back! Allowing for more varied "infection hosts"
@@thistextismeaningless8238 in all fairness, she was actually stung with an "antivirus"
He was absorbed so hes gone
@@TuriGamer you could say that everyone consumed lives on in the virus, even more so if they were the virus.
It’s fun that prototype is just a more Devil May Cry, Resident Evil with a Venom protagonist.😅
So basically brand new concept ;)
@@ForeverBlessed777A Prototype.
I would say RE7 copied the concept from this to make Ethan essentially a Mold.
@RazorTrap "Resident Evil has a vaguely similar premise to a 10 year old game therefore it's copying said 10 year old game"
my theory is that Alex Mercer, or the one that we knew, DID in fact die at the end of the first game. What comes back is a mere fragment of him. Remember, Mercer is long gone after Penn Station; what we have is a mutated Blacklight that thinks its Mercer.
After being exposed to the memories of dozens of people and the various corruptive influences of consuming the mutated creatures like Hunters, and then Greene herself, the small pool of blood Alex regenerates from is not Mercer anymore; its a culmination of all of his horrific actions, experiences and memories. Its a fragment of the virus that just happened to pick Mercer's form.
The story really drives home how corrupted Mercer has become, how much the virus has consumed of his mind and humanity. He completely forgot about Dana, he now kills for pleasure. This isnt Mercer, its a shadow of what he became.
it was explained in the comics that after he lost his humanity he went soul searching around the world to find a purpose again. but each location he visited he just causes him to hate humanity more and more. which leads to him just going "fuck it. im gonna kill humanity again."
@@kamuromat Hold up....
There's comics of the game?
Might as well look for them to read.
yeah, they kind of never advertised it, theres comics showing what alex did around the world after he left new york and right before he dropped the virus again in penn station.@@Nevergonnagiveyouupnevergonna3
but if he isnt alex, why didnt he kill Dana then in PT2?
@@majesteiitt8086 because the virus was still thinking it was Alex.
When in reality Alex had already died and the virus just made a clone of it
I've only played the Infamous saga, I've always heard comparisons with the prototype saga, I'm glad I saw this video, I liked it a lot
I’ve watched your videos for like 2-4 months and the lack of views is crazy the content you make Is great and hopefully more people get to see this
Thanks homie 🥲
@@overusedbruh no problem you deserve it
Prototype 3 with James Heller being the main character and Alex Mercer coming back
Elizabeth greene has beter adaptive powers then alan does.
She rejected a parasite whereas alan needed help to do so.
If alan comes back then elizabeth greene would too.
Wish Alex didn't become the Villain in Prototype 2.
Same
ive played prototype as a really young kid and recently remembered playing these games so much, these games along with infamous and just cause are so nostalgic for me, thank you for making this content i love it so much❤
Can we get a 3rd game already? Heck, I'll be happy with a full remake at this point. Just give me more prototype.
For real just give me a remake of the first game with the graphics of spiders man 2 ps5.
This needs to be rebooted bruh this game has soooo much potential
Amazing, if not brief, franchise. Excellent plot coverage.
Technically speaking, Mercer in Protoype isn't really Mercer. Alex died at Penn Station, and the Blacklight Virus managed to get inside his wounds. The virus simply revived the body and gained sentience through the fractured memories of a dead man.
Which is why it has no previous knowledge of anything when it wakes up in the morgue
There is a huge possibility that Alex is still alive after being killed by heller. He could only be contained by each of his body part and blood being locked up away forever and not even a worm gets in to it
this game was good but i havent completed it yet. still good so far.
This is one of my favorite series! I wish prototype 3 would've been released... RIP Radical
what i especially enjoyed was the reveal that this aint even really Mercer but the virus puppeteering his body and having absorbed his memories
It would be cool if in prototype 3 you used diguises for stealth gameplay like a mix of hitman and arkham city
44:22 That is so good. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 You literally hit the nail with that moment.👏👏👏👏
Heller truly is a good father I mean he did all that just to save his daughter and even spared some a guys life and the dude sided with him so he could save his daughter truly shows that some characters become evil where as some choose to become good overall I want a new addition to the prototype series but I also think that they ended it wonderfully with this game
Bro they can do soo much with prototype 3. What if the Mercer James Heller kills isnt the real one. The virus could mutate and become sentient to the point where it can change into other life forms. In this case the virus took the form of Mercer and gets eaten. The game could pick up with Heller finding out the real Alex is alive they could team up and we could play with both characters.
Same thing i believe, i may like the mercer skin and loadout. But he is the virus, and there is no "mercer" character now without the virus. He should be able to regenerate from the virus itself.
@@jasonr.c.390 true I'm just saying mercer could have some how evolved the virus to the point it becomes alive on it own kinda like carnage we literally have 2 of them now.
Well, there's also Pariah, Greene's son, who is said to be the perfect version of the virus and is most likely stronger than Mercer and Heller.
Real Alex is the virus. If virus is alive then Alex is alive.
@@jasonr.c.390
He did, after the first game. By falling into a crow.
After seeing death battle I wanna here people’s opinions would you all want to see a Prototype and Infamous crossover granted there’s probably lore reasons to stop that from happening, but if that’s the case, just have it not be Canon to any of the infamous or prototype games
You wont believe but i use to think infamous and prototype are in same world
yo bro i Cannot wait for your next video keep up the great content
I recommend checking out the comics to find out why Alex is the villain of the second game
THERES COMICS?
Heler being a strong black man with will power made me buy the game.i love to escape from the real world so A game with a powerful black man is what i needed thanks for the review
A fantastic example of how the color of a character doesn't matter as long as the story rocks, we are all human Afterall, ironic in this case 😅 Heller isn't human anymore, I digress, PROTOTYPE 2 is a masterpiece in my opinion, now they're just pushing Agendas and making characters black just for the sake of it.
Absorbing one’s memory can be a double edged sword you also absorb all there pain
Wow im speechless all the details you mentioned danm
Oh my god! This was one of the games my then girlfriend got me with XBOX 360.
I LOVED this game. But I also remember how stressful it was the first time you faced a strong enemy!
You know what they said. A hero fighting for good only to see his/her self become a villain in the end. What happened to mercer is not good but at least the new protagonist didn't choose to be evil. 🥲👍 Good story.
Put this in a new playlist.
LONG LIVE PROTOTYPE AND INFAMOUS! BITCH ASS TH-cam DIDNT TOLD ME YOU POSTED THIS BRO AND I AM SUBSCRIBED!! WTF! Regardless, GREAT video, your editing skills and story telling is great
You have only added to my love and appreciation for this game. Thank you
Can’t wait to see more of these
soon
Good job here👌
Alex wasn't gaining a slightly resistance to bloodtox, he developed an outright immunity to it. The both red and black light mutate to become resistant if not immune to attacks. Like doomsday from DC.
It's why they never used it again.
W vid for a W series, I want a Prototype 3 man.
I feel like Prototype 3 should take inspiration from Shadow of Mordor and Cyberpunk 2077 where you play as one character with two personality working together to fight a greater evil.
after this video i just read the comic and this story just get interesting.
A reboot of this series must happen
If you make a prototype 3 video or a video on a potential reboot of prototype. can i say that both options need to have compelling antihero stories?
So in the prototype games you can essentially gone on gta style rampages and your not totally a morally good guy in either game. But there are people who claim its just edgy and bland characters. Alex is considered emo and heller as just angry.
Id love a story where it keeps the gameplay elements of what makes prototype but improves on the stories and characters to make them compelling antiheros or even anti villains.
Falaste muito e mesmo assim não disseste nada.
Lemme ask did you get the Achievement in p1 where you beat the game killing less than 10 civilians? Its borderline impossible.
@@GlobalOutcast I didnt even know there was such a achievement
Alex was too good to last.
This game inspired me to read and understand genetic engineering and biohacking😢
See if you can make prototype 3 Gameplay and story seperate videos to make it easier for you
There are a lot of things that are never explained in the first game.
Like what the hell are runners, why are they always female, what makes Alex so special, what happened to Elizabeth green’s child, what the hell is alex, because he’s something new.
Hey figured id let you know this isnt the full story, theres a total of 12 volumes of comics that tie into the series. Being titled prototype and prototype 2. With the second giving a look into what alex mercer was doing leading up to releasing the virus that second time and why he ended up as the bad guy. Pretty cool stuff
I had to stop the video and go look up who Cross was at the end of the first game. I always thought he was Greene’s son, but it seems he was just the supreme hunter. 😮
I think this where from where Sweet Home series was Inspired 🙆♂️
If they ever make a prototype 3 they should finally bring in pariah, he should be the final villain or main character to end the series, or if they won’t make prototype 3 then they could make a spin off game where you play as black watch
Hot take; I like prototype 2s story
And then we got nothing else because there will never be a [PROTOTYPE3].
I really like these games, and I just saw the newest death battle between these two and it would be very awesome if that death battle brings these characters in these games back into well intuition because these games were awesome when they were Released and I really don’t want these games to be forgotten shoot bring them back put them on the ps4
Well good news is that all the Prototype games are on PS4/5 as well as PC
@@overusedbruh ya i just hope that with the death battle already shown that may be prototype three might be in the works, but I highly doubt it
I really hated what they did to Alex in the second game. Idk where he came from trying to expose and help to a sadistic asshole with a god complex...
Hated it at first but now I realize it makes sense since the virus first took over mercer as its host along with his personality (generally a good person) then upon consuming so many people with different ideology would somehow change his outlook in life.
Some times i wish we could have a 3rd installment
Hypothetical Prototype 3 video when?
I honestly don't get Mercer's change from unlikely anti-hero to mastermind villain. it felt so absurd.
i did 100 % of protype 2 today andthe lore is good but the possibilty of a thrid game is hard
They've made 1000 remastered BUT WE haven't got this from Xbox X/S
Tbh I love both p1 and p2 for different reasons.
P1 is an overly dark and edgy super"hero" game, with a much deeper move set and more engaging enemies.
P2 is still dark but also unironically hilarious, with a much simpler and easy to pick up combat system. My only gripe is the Shields, they are too op. Id much rather have armor instead.
The dialogue (besides Mercers) and camera is much better. With better formed levels
This game needs a remaster
Bro just narrates his gameplay
Woah
This whole time heller didn’t kill rooks because he had a daughter too I thought he didn’t kill rooks cause he mentioned heller daughter
nice .
:)
Why can't Alex just consume mcmullen's corpse to get all the answers he needed?
plot
Bruh whats CJ doing in new york?
Thank you!
I wouldn't say Alex is SOLELY behind the outbreak. He did not create the virus and a protoype virus was released before. I give him 50/50 blame. Also I'd argue that this was the greatest disaster in human history.
I kind of wish Alex stayed the main character I would’ve loved to be evil
They never did anything with pariah huh
Why TF do I hear a ring bell every 10 seconds, ding fu**ing dong in the background, all video long, drives me insane.
RIP Prototype
Had the best edgy GMVs in 2010
You mentioned that redlight was intended as a racially selective bio weapon, I can't find any mention of that anywhere. Where did you get that detail from?
Thanks!
It’s in the cutscene after you defeat Taggart
I watched that scene, and I’m afraid I can’t seem to find it. I’ll take your word for it however@@overusedbruh
@McCbobbish I was wrong about its location but the cutscene is at the end of the game. Go to 1:21:20 in Gamers Little Playground’s Prototype All Cutscenes Video.
Thanks!@@overusedbruh
There were a lotta bad people of which Alex Mercer was the worst. That's where you point, that's the bad guy.
Xbox better be doing a Prototype 3 or remake of both games for modern consoles.
I felt like P2 ruined the whole premise. I much rather they continued with Alex as a protagonist, him turning into the next Elisabeth Greene was really stupid.
im playing the game and im not doing it in the right order thats why i was confused about the story
Not the full story. After the whole game is done you play as Alex in prototype 2.
Get inspirations from TH-camrs Whitelight and Purposeless ribbitholes
why do you keep pronouncing Guerra as Guerrera? XD
Because that's how you pronounce it
@@twinzzlers
absolutely not, what are you saying?
Sadece teoriler sacma ama yabancilarda oyle soylemis
well said
Wait wait wait in the foto where alex mercer is wit his girlfriend that foto was actually an easter egg from the Bourne conspiracy game soo its an easter egg
Prototype 2 is not canon
Mercer is dead and become evil.
it got woke and broke.
Honestly prototype 2 kinda ruined the series for me
the 1st game was interesting.....the 2nd.........kind of bad....
Honestly a game with a black girl going to be the mother that’s fucking dope .black peoples hardly get love in video games unless they’re masta’s favorite
So basicly this weak random guy heller is stronger than alex mercer the modt badass evolved? Kinda weak man why eould they nerf Alex xD
idk/care ....
:(
We still have no idea who, what, where, is Pariah the daughter of Elizabeth. This should be a plot point for the 3rd game
