The fact that radical entertainment got shut down is a sin against humanity. Prototype deserved a third game.
Prototype Deserved Better than The Fate Activision gaved it And it's original company
A third game would be Great but i think a reboot or a Remake would be The Best course of action for this franchise Since most of The original fans Have either moved on or forgot about It at this point
@@giullianpadilla361I never forgot 😤😭

Ain't no way anyone that played Prototype ever forgets the story. It has unique gameplay and story.
As well as raven software
Well they still "live" nut what does that mean under modern activision...
Radical also made
The incredible hulk ultimate destruction and
Scarface the world is yours
Great games
Prototype the based game that deserved a franchise
Indeed
It did get a sequel so technically it is a franchise.
@@PurooRoy you know what I mean it deserves more that it got
Prototype 2 the cucked game that didn't deserve a franchise.
@@DoctorEviloply I agree and disagree if we’re talking about story then yes it sucked ass but the gameplay was fun asf and I wish they built on the gameplay with a 3rd instalment
Gahdamn this was probably the best prototype video I’ve seen. Your editing and style is just on a completely different level
Thank you my man x
I always thought your favorite prototype video would be any of white lights videos on the game.
@@AlexWebb101i cant lie and im going to be perfectly honest to the fullest since i am an honest person who speaks the truth and doesn't let to be blind-sided but im going to be perfectly on point with my honesty to the fullest and the lowest... are you ready..?
you're quite unbearable and quite cringe when talking about P1s story, "☝️🤓imth sooth cooolth fo...rr..r sa....s..aa..yi...ng EDGY'' you just didn't have any valid points against P1s story.... shame
this is the most corniest comment I’ve ever read. Like keep it to yourself kid 😭😭😭
@@goatwrld8119 plus you called me a kid... so that means that you're a woman...
We need more games like prototype. Games that pushed the cool factor and gameplay with unusual but awesome powers. I want a third installment just for the new creative and crazy powers .
Cruelty squad sort of has that cool body horror concept
Im hoping the next spiderman game will have similiar gameplay to prototype. Alex's powers and the symbiote suit are pretty much the same, so we might get something like it
@@RWM0 Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows, it's basically just prototype and Spider-Man
Don't forget about The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Same developers, same gameplay concept, and just as fun.
@@RWM0 the thing is, as much as I love the modern Spiderman games, and probably gonna play the new one, I miss games like prototype and infamous were you don't need to be a hero and can use your super powers to do whatever you want
CAN CONFIRM THIS IS THE MOST FAMILY FRIENDLY VIDEO ON TH-cam!
THE PIMP MASTER HIMSELF HAS ARRIVED 🎉
Based Fleek giving it back to the little guy who he keeps in his pocket.
Yes suh!
Yes dady, the prototype enjoyerd
Ya don't need to spank any monkeys 😢
Ya just need Prototype 🤤
The twist that Mercer was dead all along and the virus that took his form was better than him was amazing
*My Life as A Virus*
Real?
As much as a third Prototype game is overdue, I can't help but feel like it just wouldn't be the same without Radical.
Yep as Much as we want a Third game It would probably feel very shallow without The original team behind The old Games i think a reboot or a Remake might be a better course for The Franchise
@@giullianpadilla361yeah but remember motive studios, while those guys just made a remake they had passion when making it so as long as the team has a passion for or at least respect towards the source material it will be probably fine the results of a sequel
@@Ring_student_yin_sang Perhaps, But Only Time Will tell If The Remake Is actually good enough to Bring Back Mainstream Interest In The Franchise again
@@Ring_student_yin_sang as long as activision or EA aren't developing The Remake We Could be able to get a Proper sequel or atleast some extra content
@@giullianpadilla361 yup and even a sequel and a bit less edgy but ya know still keeping the fundamentals
Didn’t think this video game was well known. Thought it was one of those things people rarely play. Crazy to see it again after all these years
It sold pretty well at the time. It still gets millions of views on TH-cam today.
It was one of the biggest games when it came out and the hype for it was unreal. Prototype 2 wasn’t sold well
@@Echoplex25because they decided to make the Alex of the last game into the villian
@@Will_Rules I mean, he is
What hero runs around slaughtering people brutally, and he IS the virus.
I'm fine with him being the villain but I haven't played the 2nd game so I'm pretty sure it's a red herring thing
@rockymontanagarciamayne5651 ya but they kinda did it outta no where.
if they explained it more properly that the virus just gave up on being good ya
Wait, wait, wait, I thought Cpt. Cross was Greene's child... In the game, we find out that Greene had a child and that Mercer was curious as to who and where the child is. Then, we find out that Cross is Greene's child, and thus wants to continue her mission, which is why he attacks Mercer...
I remember back in the day this game and inFamous were butting heads for popularity, though I think they’re both great in their own right. inFamous’ story was a really fun take on the superhuman origin story with a bunch of neat twists and turns, on top of (albeit some slightly janky) fun parkour and powers to play with, while Prototype was a full on power fantasy that was insanely fun to play, but had a lack luster story.
It's a shame we never got More Games or additional content from these two Franchises either because they ended or Corporate meddling. Would be Great to see a reboot or a remake from Both these franchises
we seriously need another infamous game. i feel like we're missing games like these in this era of gaming
@@ewah25 That would be Great But I Think a Reboot or Remake Would be The Best course of action For Infamous
@@ewah25 Or Perhaps They Could Continue The Infamous Franchise by Making a Game that takes place after The Evil ending of Infamous 2, Since It seemed to be The original idea For Infamous 3
I feel like the story in prototype 1 is really good its just how they present it is really bad and uninteresting, i cant stop thinking about the potential movie or tv show adaptation. Funny thing is that prototype 1 had potentially a very interesting story but very poor execution and prototype 2 had a very bland story but executed a lot better, combat as well, prototype 1 had such a promising combat but it really lacked balance in weaponry and enemies and felt dissapointing at times while prototype 2 toned down your freedom in combat but delivered a lot more balanced and in my opinion more enjoyable gameplay
I love these ADHD meme filled videos
If Alex and Ranton would collab we would probably all die
I always love playing NG+ on this, you are THE PROTOTYPE at the start and literally nothing can stop you if you have unlocked all upgrades (pretty easy if you have played NG+ alot)
i like limiting my abilities - the game becomes entirely different if you don’t use defensive powers or get any health upgrades on a new hard save, goin around killing everything in one hit and not taking any damage just feels… bland, you know?
@@we-must-liveProblem with that is that around the time you actually start unlocking all of the super cool feeling powers and abilities is when the game's difficulty spikes from 20 to fucking 800, not giving many chances to actually test them out without the military forcing 20 rockets up your ass at once. At least in new game plus it gives a fully upgraded Alex some room to actually stretch his legs a bit.
@@kin4386 i guess, as the wise old sages of our gamer generations have said for years untold... "get gud".
but really, you get those powers at that point because you NEED them to win, not because they look cool or you wanna fill in all the upgrades... all it takes is learning how to dodge missiles (i.e. stay away from roads & buildings to stop the blast radius from getting ya, and dodge perpendicular to it's trajectory a second before it'll hit you) and then you CAN fly around wrecking helicopters with the flying kick + cannonball combo!
@@we-must-live Difficulty in Prototype is not up to player skill. It's pretty much all determined by either blind luck or cheese tactics. In other words, just spamming devastaters. Missiles are far too many in number to react to, melee attacks from infected enemies are far too quick to accurately dodge, and all the boss enemies either stunlock you to death or just one shot you like a Soulsbourne boss. The game takes the difficulty out of your hands.
Nice Dante PFP
Prototype is still my guilty pleasure game to this day. If I’m bored or having a bad day I hop on and just run around the city and go crazy, it’s super therapeutic
*Gets an unskippable ad in the middle of Alex's own ad*
We live in a society
I fucking LOVED Prototype in the exact same way I loved Hulk Ultimate Destruction.
Same creator
Come and mop up boys, I'm all done here.
Bro i love this man editing 😂
Prototype was legendary
Prototype is Basically The Venom Game We Never Got
More like canrage's
That's funny because the developers previously made a Hulk game that was the blueprint for this
I cant believe this game is still getting recognition nowadays
A 3rd game or even a remake is what it needs right now to get back in the limelight
He was a monster, a murderer, a terrorist, all these things... Yet Mercer's journey became a cult classic, much like inFamous 1 and 2 alongside it. As someone going through inFamous, I'll DEFINITELY play Prototype as it's been sitting in my steam library for a while now. Having to consume to stay alive and getting more cool powers alongside it is genuinely badass.
to be completely honest, while i agree that it is a pretty edgy game that doesnt have the most groundbreaking story, i think it - and Alex Mercer's line deliveries via Barry Pepper - deserves a bit more credit. i get the sense that the story and the gameplay arent integrated at all, and then of course the more appealing and fun choice is to fly around and chop people up and go nuts. but i do really enjoy the military horror being told in the story. its a shame it doesnt really pick up until the third act, but i do get the sense that the game is at least trying to talk about something instead of being nothing but edge and edge (like the original The Boys comic for example.) the bad guy on the infected side was an innocent expecting mother whose brain was ravaged by a virus secretly spread in her hometown, and she and her child became nothing more but military assets. our main protagonist is a doppelganger of an amoral scientist who ends up becoming more heroic than the human he was accidentally created from.
but i dont really blame most people for skipping the cutscenes. the story isnt exactly told in the most coherent way thanks to the puzzle piece plot. overall its an amazing idea to me but the execution wasnt perfect.
Yeah I dont get why people are saying the story sucked. Its pretty unique all things considered.
Most people, like the vid's author, probably think it's just a delusional edgy game and that the story doesn't deserve much attention when, for example, there's quite alot of great lore to be uncovered from people of interest to better make you understand what's happening. I doubt characters in this game are that much different from how people in important positions behave in real life and that's what makes this game realistic to me in that sense.
It would be nice to get more of this kind of games. Delightfully chaotic and shamelessly fun
Prototype is the Venom game we never got.
Judging by your descriptions, the story doesnt sound bad at all, and honestly the ending dialogue, while edgy, isnt particularly cringe, just accurate. No idea how the rest of the dialogue is as I have not played it, but id say it simply sounds like a solid dark power fantasy game, guilt trip and all.
I swear, the cutscenes have NONE emotion at all😂. One scene is literaly Dana: "Oh sh't, you look bad, ANYWAYS go there, that's your next target."
Apart from this, the story is pretty much Resident Evil, but you have Virus X.
I’m fairly sure Web of Shadows must’ve taken a lot of inspiration from this game.
i recently finished the first game and i need to say something. we need a reboot or a remake of this franchise, the open world games where characters has crazy and lethal superpowers has the potential to make more stories and future mechanics.
Man that transition at 3:17 was just. so. good. Props to the editor.
*3:16
Prototype was the first M-Rated, single player game I ever got for myself. I remember reading about it in Game Informer magazine a year before its release and back before some of Alex Mercer's designs were finalized. But I knew pretty quickly that I wanted it. It was my own, gory, edgy Spiderman experience. I got it for PS3 and played the crap of it. Years later, I got it _again_ on Steam and continue to revisit every few years after. I can't ever fully put it down, but I'm glad for that. Also, thank you for making a video about it in current day. It makes me happy knowing other people still like this game and are willing to spotlight its strengths as well as critique its flaws.
I am so glad that ppl are talking about this game again. I truly hope that this is a sign of a new prototype game
Probably unintentional but I love how the most effective strategy for the final boss is to throw stuff at him. Just like real evolution.
I may hate the final boss of this game. But the rest of it is my kind of edgy!
Musclemass worked for me. I managed to corner him and a barrage of combos was finishing him easily.
The trick is to throw missiles and other objects at him. He has damage resistance to your powers so don't fight him in CQC.
I still remember the time where i don't have to think much of anything when playing the game other than the feeling to be so overpowered to a point where I would also liked this kind of powers to myself
Goddamn it, I had completely forgotten how difficult this game was! I remember I eventually managed to complete it, and in the end this game only left me with good memories as the gameplay was the only thing I remember from it. The only part of the story that I remember was when Alex Mercer goes into a military base disguised as a soldier, and then a gas is leaked to catch him over there.
By the way, how did you feel about a game where the main character has the same name as you? Did you feel like you were controlling yourself?
Elizabeth had Redlight not blacklight. Alex was Blacklight itself and Elizabeth was only the host of redlight not it herself.
Prototype is still the best feeling open world slaughterhouse game with the best parkour animations to date!
Prototype was and still is a great game I love how the abilities and stuff are being able to mutate to take the form of someone you absorbed or getting blades for arms while being able to cover yourself in armor made from your Infected flesh by hardening it or whatever it is just so damn cool honestly the Character in Prototype 1 Alex Mercer reminds me of Carnage with some of the stuff he can do
Bro, the fact you've been making videos for 4 years and i just found you now is a sin TH-cam's algorithm should have never done.
You're funny as hell, you edit great, and you're talking about prototype which makes you my brother from another mother.
Take my sub.
When I first played Prototype, I felt like I was basically playing as Carnage from Spider-Man.
Alex and Carnage have very similar abilities. The only huge difference I can think of is that Carnage can’t make zombies and he doesn’t gain the memories of his victims.
Honestly, Prototype was such a great idea, I really loved the lore and I really felt powerful once unlocking everything, I wouldn't mind a remake or a third installment if anyone cares enough.
Oh by the way Alex, I'm surprised you didn't mention Infamous when mentioning Prototype.
Great video btw, keep it up!
Prototype is way way way more similar to Web of Shadows than inFAMOUS
@@godzillazfrictionthey were both rivals in a sense, thats why
@@Exel3nce yes, i get it
@@Exel3nce seriously, nO sHiT
@@godzillazfrictionthat makes sense since Prototype was supposed to be a Web Of Shadows game
Been waiting for this! Hate to be the guy who just asks for another video as soon as an amazing video just dropped….but you gotta cover Infamous now too! Prototype vs Infamous was the original Barbie vs Oppenheimer
i'll never forget prototype 2 as the last game that i played in my ps3 sad
Getting a Prototype video monetized is impressive, lame af but impressive
my older brother was so obsessed with this game when it came out he got the old promotional cardboard cutout from gamestop when they were done with it & he got a german shepard around that time and named it Mercer lmao i almost forgot about that time
How did he react to Alex becoming the bad guy in the sequel
Oh wow, I wish I could have gotten my hands on some Prototype promo decals/cutouts too. Also I like that your brother even named his dog Mercer.
I remember this was the goriest and most violent game you could get your hands on, and as a 13-14 year old I had to sail the seven seas to play it since my parents wouldn't allow me to buy it until a few years later.
Shame there are hardly any games like it.
I love the initial set up of prototypes story and the ending twist for "Alex"
But basically nothing else about the narrative or where it goes in the sequel.
Quotes are quite on the nose huh 🥴
The only thing I liked about the sequel was graphics and nothing else.
@@venom0825 You mean it's to easy? Or does it feel too different?
@@lightborn9071 2 is easier and practically everything is watered down, less powers, less moves, base/hive are removed. Over all p2 is prettier and more flashy, but it has no substance.
@@venom0825 Ok, I get it now.
We gotta get more original superhero games
Prototype and Infamous were phenomenal
These two franchises seriously need reboots or remakes at this point
@@giullianpadilla361SERIOUSLY how hasn't it happened yet?!
I love the part where Alex said what am I some kind of prototype
Yeah. But in all honesty tho, when James was going to fight Alex and Said "its over Zeus i am a PROTOTYPE 2" I legitamet cried.
And then he prototyped all over the city
I preferred the time when he said "Where's that Damned fourth Chief Officer"
@@TheReZisTLust on this damn island
@@Pointman11111 It's a Shadow The Hedgehog joke 🤭 He cusses in that game
Alright, now for Prototype 2.
Radical Entertainment also developed Crash of the Titans and Crash Mind over Mutant
Fun fact. Prototype is an asset flip from the cancelled Spider-Man 4 Movie Tie-In game
I think most people already knew that but its a fun fact that i wanna share to some that didn't know :D
I absolutely love this game and the sequel! It's such a shame we never got Prototype 3, especially considering how the second game ends.
it's a crime that so many good games with lots of potential made by a certain studio, for a certain reason, ends up going bankrupt, doesn't end up selling well or whatever happens to it leaves the beloved game people grew to love in the dust and nothing ever happens after that, will we ever really get a third installment in the [PROTOTYPE] franchise? gosh that would be a miracle if it got picked up by a well known company that has a track record for making banger open world games
@@kaxcommentssomethingREAL Infamous devs maybe?
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 ;_; yes please
Prototype reviews coming out till this day is a god damned miracle
"No... They're all dead... ALL DEAD...😈 Except me." -Alex Mercer
Like 99% of Activision Devs, the studio was shut down to churn out cancer, I mean cod....
Perhaps edgiest game, though the controls, powers, abilities and upgrades with the insane story mode is what makes the game a semi-forgotten masterpiece.
sometimes, a little edge is all you need
Prototype was a damn great game just because of.... Well i wanna say the claws.... But imma go with the surfboard move thats less brutal as Web of Shadows skateboard moves
To know that Radical were developing Spider-Man 4 before that movie was taken out back and mercy killed. A development build exists and they planned on literally just reworking Prototype (same New York assets and all) into a Spider-Man game, and it looked phenomenal. Shame it wasn't meant to be, cause a Prototype esque Spider-Man game would slap so hard. Take the absurdity of Web of Shadows and mix it with a more realistic tone and look with a dash of webbing versions of some of Alex's moves to make them less ultraviolent and you've got yourself a stunning sounding game
Your review was to much lmao. Great quality bro.
0:31 they also made the AMAZING Incredible Hulk game that manages to actually have a functioning story that actually makes sense, good voice acting, and brutal hulk fun. Try to do a video on that sometime please and thank you.
🫡
@@AlexWebb101Bro, what songs you used in this video
The twist was that Alex died and the virus killed him and thought it was Alex Mercer.
A protagonist that kills military personnel and innocent civilians being edgy and dark? Nah, I want him to crack jokes like an MCU character while he cuts people in half
Alex Mercer after consuming Peter randal: "oh no hes right behind me ins't?!"
But in all honesty tho, its kinda good that prototype 2 puted some humor in the franchise tho.
true though plus with the overall gameplay and story of government cover ups, bioweapons, zombies/ mutants , shapeshifting powers into weapons and eating people how can you create a game like that without being edgy.
"he isn't half the man he once was"
- Al mercino
Prototype is a based superhero ga- uhh i mean a superhero based game that is so fun i remember it all these years later. Nice video 👍❤
It's still incredibly cool how Alex Mercer is dead. You do not play as Alex Mercer, you play as the Blacklight virus believing its Alex Mercer.
Oh and according to how you interact with Alex' sister, the Virus is actually NICER than Alex was.
Not gonna lie, I thought a situation like this was happening when Goku Black first showed up in Super. The Heart Virus that killed Goku in Trunks' timeline ... _created_ Goku Black! XD
Yeah the twist of the virus becoming Alex would've been more impactful if the story was actually.... good. Like I was reading on the fan wiki a few months ago and was shocked that that actually happened because I don't remember the story putting that much emphasis on it
The editing is hilarious
Imagine Resident Evil level of remake for Prototype happening in 2025,
Yeah me too bro..
I think this is one of the few Prototype videos that doesn't mention Infamous.
Neat.
The developers had the best idea from the beginning, "make you the baddest motherfucker." Was the dev slogan god I miss this game.
I miss actual bad protagonist in games, movies, shows. Not everyone gotta be redeemed or become a good person for some reason...
I really want a Venom game that plays like this.
we need to go back to the days of random surprising games like this, everything takes 3-6 years to make now, almost every company wants realistic graphics instead of fun gameplay now 🤦🏽♂️☠️
0:45 as we all know all these games were nothing compared to plants vs zombies
Use Muscle Mass and throw everything at it
now there’s nothing wrong with abit of edginess now and then.
I didn't give a _shit_ about Batman. Prototype is and still was one of my favorite open world games of all time.
James Heller attempting to use a computer in the sequel is still pretty damn funny.
After seeing Spiderman 2's symbiote suit gameplay I really wish that someone could reboot the franchise.
It's like edgy infamous
Infamous is also edgy
No one seems to make games like prototype or hulk ultimate destruction anymore.
R.i.p radical entertainment 😞
Funny how you can't have legitimate criticism if we remove word "edgy"
That really got you mad huh
its a crime that this game and its continuation arent on nintendo switch.
so is a video on the second edgiest superhero game ever made coming up in the future aka prototype 2?
Dude, Insomniac-Man has made me realize just how damn good a new Prototype could be.
Too bad Radical's long gone and Activison is, well, Activison.
Honestly at this point Activision should just give The rights to someone like Insomnia or Suckerpunch
Yeah imagine what Insomniac could do with a third game
Anyone who talks about [PROTOTYPE] is BASED
1:15 “An absurd amount of destruction-“
So, theoretically… *Ultimate Destruction*
God I wish Radical could make either another Prototype or even another Hulk game.
1:28 Never expected @CG5 in a Alex Webb Video! :0
I always forget why I'm subbed to this channel and then I watch a video and remember it's the editing how tf is it so good
Can't wait for your Infamous + Second Son video.
The time you spend editing is paying off. I laughed the whole time while learning about the game.
That was fuckin dope. I've always said that Prototype is fun af, as long as you skip every cutscene. Also, fantastic ad-read.
Radical entertainment also made the incredible hulk ultimate destruction.
I never played GTA 4, the only reason I got that joke was because a fan song about the game had the chorus "Nico it's your cousin, why don't you take me bowling?"
If you enjoy power fantasy games, Try Blade & Sorcery with these mods: Flying, Time Lord and power increase.
Prototype is one of those games, that actually deserves a Remake. I get it, we've been getting a bunch of those a lot lately, but with Care and Love that's put in, Dead Space Remake is proof you can Remake a game like Prototype and improve upon the Story and Characters in depth like we've never really seen from the Original game and fills in some of the gaps that was told in the first Prototype game with Pariah. Man I miss this game...
me and you bro, me and you
still waiting for some good news to come from this franchise... or waiting until it gets bought by some other company that actually does something with it
the supreme hunter 😂😂😂
"Oh, what's that? You've ran out of bullets? Well, then just turn your hand into a fucking sword."
Put that shit on a T-Shirt.
Ok that's enough. I'm watching your channel a few days now and the games ,the movies ,the opinions,the mistakes. We like and hate the same stuff DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL! We should compare notes!
Bro i think you Just discovered yours clone TH-cam Channel.
I love the edge, don’t care, so glad your covering this game tho 😂
I love this game. I played it for hours! Didnt Infamous come also at that time? Man 2009 was a great game year
They were rivaling games as far as I know.
I played the game, got to the helicopter chase and gave up. After a year, I started the game over to refresh my memory. I got to the helicopter chase and gave up. Haven't touched it since
Skill issue
What
Yooo I was actually just playing through Prototype for the very first time about a week ago, and I'm so glad you mentioned the RAMP in difficulty. It was so frustrating, that I just put the game down and decided that it was not worth finishing. Shame, cause I was intrigued about Prototype 2, and seeing why it received much lower critical response. Very timely video lol.
A debate I remember when this game was coming out, was on whether people should play Prototype or Infamous, personally I think Infamous is the clear choice.
Bro, if you haven't already, play Prototype 2. They upgraded everything, dare I say so. It's easier, handier controls, WAY more emotional cutscenes, and the powers you get are straight upgrades as well. Like, it's legit THE power fantasy you imagine.
@lightborn9071 that's funny. I haven't began to play the 2nd game, but I was intrigued. Maybe I'll revisit, but it'll be after FF16
