Both are absolute gems. I liked 2 slightly better due to the atmosphere and how wrecked everything was. Heller also had some good quips and had a heart underneath all that “now the screens all fucked up, shits broken!”
Lmaoo that part had me dead. Cause you know heller one on of those dads who don't know how to use tech and when something simple messes up they assume the shit broken lol
Personally, I have always liked the original better. Neither of them are spectacular exactly, but the first one seemed to be more cohesive and better put together story-wise, and frankly it's just more fun and it makes a lot more sense to be a massive dick in that one, which is at least 60% of what makes those games hella fun. Also, bonus, you get to see what happens when the writers decide to change a main character's love interest into their sibling instead. Or at least that's what I've always assumed happened at some point during the writing process, because damn.
@@zerosorigin8387 Some would definitely argue against on that but I am not one of those people. I personally prefer P1’s story and protagonist much better than P2’s, however, Guerra is a definite upgrade to Ragland.
IMO, I think with the powers, Prototype 1. With the graphics Prototype 2. Storywise I like both. Final villain, I really loved Mercer as a villain in part 2.
I’ve always had a theory about the two different powers James and Alex have. Alex is flexible and more agile and with his powers in prototype 1. Heller is a brute with a different kind of arsenal mercer doesn’t have. Prototype 2 had characters with unique abilities that made them the way they are. The whip fist, the blade, and etc. This game was so old yet so good that it seriously made me theorized why mercer can hold a jump no problem while heller can just fucking go all out. Just my opinion but hey I still love this game after the end of it’s development.
I just noticed how muffled Prototype's sound design is.. Like here 0:40 it goes from mellow to massive to low again.. it feels the people and monsters are fighting far away after he lands.. Truly gives an eeri vibe
I came up with an idea for a third game a long time ago and it goes as follows: Mercer wanted to be consumed so that he could (try to) take over Heller's body. The third game could be about the struggle between Heller assuming complete control, finally ridding his body of the Mercer personality, and purging all traces of the virus, including himself; there would be another scenario where Mercer manages to take over instead and continues his schemes. It would be up to the player and how they choose to proceed through the game. Both would seek out PARIAH for their own reasons, tying up loose ends as a result: Heller hunts down and destroys PARIAH before destroying himself (making sure that the virus is gone for good), whereas Mercer consumes PARIAH and becomes more powerful in doing so. And then there would be a third way to end the game, perhaps in a second playthrough: PARIAH ends up defeating and consuming Heller/Mercer and becomes even worse, and the world is straight up doomed.
3:41 After Heller's roar, those hunter coming out from nowhere in slow motion dramatically, then everything went silent... except that table landing upside down in front of him. For some reason I laughed hard at the last part.
I agree cause prototype 1 has so much more to offer compare to prototype 2 like when you finish the game in prototype 1 you can still destroy hives or infiltrate bases meanwhile in prototype 2 once you finished the game(including side missions) theres nothing left to do except killing a few civillians and shits so yeah prototype 1 is better when it comes to content.
@@kairakxz Ya know this sounds like your being biased...the story in prototype 2 is better the graphics are better and in some ways you feel more powerful in the 2nd one epically using brawler pack ability. Saying prototype 1 is better than 2 in so many ways is the equivalent to saying the 2nd game didn't really make any improvements and that isn't at all true
God damn these Games are the greatest super hero games alongside inFAMOUS, take a look at 3:04 for example, absolute badassery, Prototype 2 being my fave in all aspects due to the new upgrades enemy types and character design that make em look extra detailed and monstrous, then again id still play prototype 1 due to the challenge it has on missions like the final boss battle
@@poetryismyting8854 yeah is cool tho you have the actual choise to be a hero or a villain in inFamous for example while prototype is more on the anti-hero side, toping it with the over the top action packed power trip gameplay

Just got both and halfway done with the 2nd,i like heller's tendril devastator design more but prefer alex's,not only did he produce more but i liked seeing the tendrils legit seek out the enemies and pierce their torso's
Prototype 1 and Prototype 2 got a lot in common with Left 4 Dead 1 & Left 4 Dead 2. They both have 2 game released but never the third sequel. It got the same vibe.
@@TheDarkMaster312 That's pretty random and takes too long to get all of them but if we're talking about the main story of Prototype 1 then it can be summarized in 1 sentence
They did Mercer so goddamn dirty man. I like Heller, but if Mercer was actually trying, he would have wiped the floor with him. For Prototype 3, they need to being back Mercer as the protagonist, don't know how they should do it, but they have to.
You mean Blacklight, that's what he discovered in 1 and that he's not the real Mercer, he had reasons why he turned to the dark side and if you're expecting the virus to come back as a hero, you're expecting the impossible.
Honestly, I would’ve preferred Mercer finding Pariah instead of the studio creating Heller. Would’ve made sense considering Pariah is the most dangerous WMD of this series.
I would’ve preferred Heller as an antagonistic Hero instead. Like you can play both as Mercer and Heller in one game. Pariah being hidden in Blackwatch as a trump card in case the Super Soldier program fails and another city becomes like New York. Or actually play from Mercer, Heller and Pariah’s perspectives.
Oh the nostalgia. I've played prototype 2 in a computer shop. So that's the name of the game. I was randomly clicking icons when I played this game lol
i hope that in the 3rd installment you get to play 4 characters (alex, james,greene, paraiah "greene's son also labelled as the black lights perfect form by dr. McMullen") by choice and you will be able to choose your own path and order of the story (not a fixed sequential character switching within/throughout missions just like gta 5) depending on the paths of the story line that you take the final boss could be different in each gameplay run(kinda like infamous good and bad karma choices but it impacts the storyline much more) james heller with the help of some trust worthy blackwatch personnel (possibly dana mercer as well) after being experimented will become the first person to embody the white light antivirus (basically he becomes similar anti venom in the spiderman series) his appearance changes from black and red to white with some black outlines on edges keeping the bright red glow aura, his attacks are now more fatal to infected especially evolved and he will also becomes the closest thing to the cure to the virus elizabeth greene regains her powers to emit mass infection fogs and she also gets her own share of the hive mind once more (which was hers to begin with) being able to control and nurture the infected again, her main objective is to control every being on earth connecting them all to the hive mind her appearance is dark red and black outlines with a light green glow aura, and lets not forget about those enemy chasing orbs that she spawns alex mercer after him and green emerging from heller's body is now in his second amnesia and free of elizabeth greene's corruption, he returns to his original blacklight appearance, black with light orange outlines and blood red aura, this alex mercer is different, there are no hints of memory flashbacks no humane logic or values left, this is the alex mercer that is the modified/rogue blacklight virus embodiment where in the virus takes full control of his actions (the closest to the perfect form of the virus- dr McMullen) this alex acts more instinctively rather than objectively, he can be both enemy or friend to all creatures infected or non, his logic is simple, as long as he sees you as a threat you will be on his death list, this mercers main goal is to reach its perfect form, and to be the most superior being in existence basically an unrivaled god paraiah after telepathically feeling the mass activity of the virus he was somehow disturbed and awakened by it forcing his way out of black watch maximum containment facility and discovering the outside world for the first time after 30 plus years, paraiah's appearance is black with red outline with a gold aura, since paraiah is the perfect form of the virus the way he thinks is similar to mercer but with human logic since he is born both human and virus, paraiah observes and explored the outside world and sees how unfair it is seeing some beings dominant to others, paraiah's main goal is to make every single being similar so everyone would be equal and to do that the only way is to infect and transform every single being, regulate everything, and control everything at will when needed, and the outliers wishing to dominate others and break the equality will be eliminated, basically paraiah wants to be a god in his fair world a few more notes to gameplay: all boss battles should be commenced on open world encounters (similar to monster hunter world) unlike in the previous games wherein some boss battles limit the battlefield there will be a normal ending wherein you take bosses one by one and execute them and an enhanced boss at the very end which you also get to execute there will also be an ultimate ending wherein you beat bosses one by one in the storyline but you do not have the option to execute them causing them to flee, the ending would be a four way rumble with you against three other bosses each with their own enhanced forms and their/your reinforcements giving you the chance to take them all out at once (you can call reinforcements optionally when they are ready) there will also be an endless battle mode wherein there is no way whatsoever to eliminate bosses, pretty much similar to the ultimate ending but it does not give you the option to execute the bosses thus giving them the chance to flee and recover though the story progress will still be 100% complete, cool features about this ending is you will be able to encounter these bosses in free roam sometimes they're just causing havoc, sometimes they hunt you down or ambush you, sometimes they come across another boss and battle each other, it could be one, two, or all three of them situationally, could be on different areas or one specific area and also all the things mentioned above you can do it to them as well especially hunt/ambush all characters have their enhanced form and monstrous forms (kinda like Elizabeth Greene's worm form but less freakish more refined) kinda humanoid beast like giving them enhanced strength, mobility, and flight as well paraiah: aviary features like a phoenix mixed with an angel mercer: reptilian features like a winged dragon human mixed with a devil greene: plant like features like poison ivy in dc comics but a lil fleshy and freaky heller: insect-like features mixed with some arachnid features as well an additional feature wherein if you finished the game in endless battle mode you will have the option to create your own character which is paraiah's first born with a blackwatch's white light development staff researcher, the story will revolve following the events of endless battle mode and your main goal is to beat all 4 bosses one by one or all at once and of course endless battle as well
Actually it’s the other way around. Prototype makes you feel like a demigod meaning you had to be smart on your tactics whereas Prototype 2 made you feel like a god where you can destroy everything in your path.
Still wondering how Alex lost to Heller, despite being the original one which has the full potential and power. Yet losing to someone who was just infected. Someone explain
Because Alex got cocky with James in their fight, wasted his power by spreading the virus, not consuming any of his infected monsters or evolved, and having a twisted idea for world peace instead of world war where it would benefit him more than peace in his vision.
Both are good overall I feel like Prototype 2 is better the only thing I wish they had in the sequel is heller should move as fast as Mercer did in the first game, and also I wish it was more tendrils in hellers devastator. And I wish they included the Graveyard spike devastator.
@@-ayoshattah-ilya14ans70 just doesn’t feel faster. You feel a lot faster in p1 idk why maybe its bc we get an option to use the armor and move slower. Being able to switch between a clunky tank w armor and a nimble GOD w heller always made me feel like i was going a million mph
Exactly it just got recommended to me after watching ep8
3 ปีที่แล้ว +2
I wish so much for a sequel prototype, this was one of the most fun open world games ive ever played!!! Theres something about being a monster and killing everything around that just makes me happy
I finally found my childhood game it was very amazing and got me confused most of time the favorite thing I do in this game is drag people with my sharp arm knife and kick em in outer space
Prototype 2 was arguably better, but the upgrade paths broke that game and even the higher difficulties didn’t alleviate the issues. You also have the lack of interesting bonus missions and the story feeling less interesting in general. I remember sinking hundreds of hours into Prototype, but dropped Prototype 2 after beating it two times.
Combat wise? Yes, if you ignore a lot of upgrades. The combo attacks are a great idea but having the ability to dodge or block with a QTE gets real stale. Nothing becomes a threat. Helicopter? Finisher Move. Tank? Finisher move. Infected enemy? Use combo abilities and watch the HP vanish. On my first playthrough, the only difficult boss was trying to not hit the Goliath for the bonus mission. I did a minimal upgrade/level run on the hardest difficulty. I died to Mercer a few times, because either Alex glitched and stopped taking damage or the game is hard-coded that you have to be a certain level to hurt him. Prototype 1 was limited, I won't deny that. I enjoyed taking down bosses and larger enemies in it on Intense Difficulty than PT2 and I tried to make Intense harder.
Something to remember and note is the background. Heller was a soldier and it can be seen in his weapons. The claws start as serrated combat knifes and become more like blades as they evolve, while his sword starts as a blade and evolves into something resembling a machete. Alex was a surgeon/scientists and it shows on both claws and blade. A detail with the claws is he actually retracts the others while extending one, leaving a clean cut. This can be seen on a upgrade. As for the blade, we can see that it resembles a scalpel. Not to mention the behaviour on attacks. Heller goes for destruction and brute force (finishers with claws ripping instead of slicing and tearing with the tentacles) while Mercer would go most of the time for a quick death (Using the back of the blade to quickly stab the head when consuming, using the whip to smash them onto the ground, punching a hole through the torso, smashing the head, spliting in two with claws, slicing in half vertically with the blade, on stealth going for the neck, etc)
I just downloaded Prototype 2 like 2 days ago and heard about it like a month ago. I didn’t even know they had a second game until I was about to purchase the first prototype game. Looking at both of them as comparisons, I’m happy about my choice. 10/10 games
I like the idea that Alex Mercer's has multiple varieties of his powers and James Heller had the upper hand of his strength and agility with brute Force.

Both are absolute gems. I liked 2 slightly better due to the atmosphere and how wrecked everything was. Heller also had some good quips and had a heart underneath all that “now the screens all fucked up, shits broken!”
"Piss off, i fucken hate computers"
Lmaoo that part had me dead. Cause you know heller one on of those dads who don't know how to use tech and when something simple messes up they assume the shit broken lol
Love that you mentioned, that Alex could hold on the walls and slide from them. Prototype 2 has no such details
Personally, I have always liked the original better. Neither of them are spectacular exactly, but the first one seemed to be more cohesive and better put together story-wise, and frankly it's just more fun and it makes a lot more sense to be a massive dick in that one, which is at least 60% of what makes those games hella fun.
Also, bonus, you get to see what happens when the writers decide to change a main character's love interest into their sibling instead. Or at least that's what I've always assumed happened at some point during the writing process, because damn.
? What do you mean? Can you elaborate?
Second one is much better imo
@@kasjamm It’s a matter of preference. PT1 had the better characters and story.
@@zerosorigin8387 Some would definitely argue against on that but I am not one of those people. I personally prefer P1’s story and protagonist much better than P2’s, however, Guerra is a definite upgrade to Ragland.
@@123GOHANZ Yeah that’s just my preference, not facts.
We want Alex Mercer to come back in prototype 3 !!!
Yes we all do
I guess the smart thing would be a reboot or remake of the 1st game.
There's no 3.
How are we going to get a Prototype 3 when the studio is dead? I don’t think Activision saw Prototype as profitable and pulled the plug.
@Optical Gamer illusion Haha. Do you really believe it? lol
IMO, I think with the powers, Prototype 1. With the graphics Prototype 2. Storywise I like both. Final villain, I really loved Mercer as a villain in part 2.

@@yehudiestrada542 sorry it took so long for you to get an answer Ik the feeling some yt channels absolutely suck at answering questions
I’ve always had a theory about the two different powers James and Alex have. Alex is flexible and more agile and with his powers in prototype 1. Heller is a brute with a different kind of arsenal mercer doesn’t have. Prototype 2 had characters with unique abilities that made them the way they are. The whip fist, the blade, and etc. This game was so old yet so good that it seriously made me theorized why mercer can hold a jump no problem while heller can just fucking go all out. Just my opinion but hey I still love this game after the end of it’s development.
Bc Mercer have more experience with the power (not a good excuse for James lol cause mercer can hold his jump since he got the virus like 5 min ago)
Even just a remake of Prototype 1 with next gen will make me sooo happy
Imagine a current gen remake of these games. It’ll never happen but I can dream
Alex Mecer is too much of a savage. He brings pain and pure dread wherever he goes.
Prototype 2 always will be my favorite miss these games when life was easy🥺
I just noticed how muffled Prototype's sound design is.. Like here 0:40 it goes from mellow to massive to low again.. it feels the people and monsters are fighting far away after he lands.. Truly gives an eeri vibe
We're deadass just all praying for this game to return with a prototype 3 💔😂 deadass we need this game for next gen
I came up with an idea for a third game a long time ago and it goes as follows:
Mercer wanted to be consumed so that he could (try to) take over Heller's body. The third game could be about the struggle between Heller assuming complete control, finally ridding his body of the Mercer personality, and purging all traces of the virus, including himself; there would be another scenario where Mercer manages to take over instead and continues his schemes. It would be up to the player and how they choose to proceed through the game. Both would seek out PARIAH for their own reasons, tying up loose ends as a result: Heller hunts down and destroys PARIAH before destroying himself (making sure that the virus is gone for good), whereas Mercer consumes PARIAH and becomes more powerful in doing so. And then there would be a third way to end the game, perhaps in a second playthrough: PARIAH ends up defeating and consuming Heller/Mercer and becomes even worse, and the world is straight up doomed.
3:41
After Heller's roar, those hunter coming out from nowhere in slow motion dramatically, then everything went silent... except that table landing upside down in front of him. For some reason I laughed hard at the last part.
Our sense of humor are broken 😔
@@averageyoutubeuser44 What?
Prototype 1 definitely felt way better than 2 in so much ways
I agree cause prototype 1 has so much more to offer compare to prototype 2 like when you finish the game in prototype 1 you can still destroy hives or infiltrate bases meanwhile in prototype 2 once you finished the game(including side missions) theres nothing left to do except killing a few civillians and shits so yeah prototype 1 is better when it comes to content.

@@kairakxz Ya know this sounds like your being biased...the story in prototype 2 is better the graphics are better and in some ways you feel more powerful in the 2nd one epically using brawler pack ability.
Saying prototype 1 is better than 2 in so many ways is the equivalent to saying the 2nd game didn't really make any improvements and that isn't at all true
God damn these Games are the greatest super hero games alongside inFAMOUS, take a look at 3:04 for example, absolute badassery, Prototype 2 being my fave in all aspects due to the new upgrades enemy types and character design that make em look extra detailed and monstrous, then again id still play prototype 1 due to the challenge it has on missions like the final boss battle

We NEED a remaster of Prototype! This game was insane!
And/or new part.
They did Mercer so goddamn dirty man. I like Heller, but if Mercer was actually trying, he would have wiped the floor with him.
For Prototype 3, they need to being back Mercer as the protagonist, don't know how they should do it, but they have to.
You mean Blacklight, that's what he discovered in 1 and that he's not the real Mercer, he had reasons why he turned to the dark side and if you're expecting the virus to come back as a hero, you're expecting the impossible.
Or maybe play as Alex, as the antagonist
Mercer thought he can manipulate Heller
Honestly, I would’ve preferred Mercer finding Pariah instead of the studio creating Heller. Would’ve made sense considering Pariah is the most dangerous WMD of this series.
I would’ve preferred Heller as an antagonistic Hero instead. Like you can play both as Mercer and Heller in one game. Pariah being hidden in Blackwatch as a trump card in case the Super Soldier program fails and another city becomes like New York. Or actually play from Mercer, Heller and Pariah’s perspectives.
Prototype 1 was incredible. I loved that time. 2009 forever!
Mercers powers were just unreal. He had so many too
This game was years ahead of it’s time. Everyone so hyped about Spider-Man, yet he can hardly do 1/10 of what you can do in Prototypes

Самая легендарная франшиза Prototype, моя любимая игра с двумя частями, особенно жду третью часть)
i hope that in the 3rd installment you get to play 4 characters (alex, james,greene, paraiah "greene's son also labelled as the black lights perfect form by dr. McMullen") by choice and you will be able to choose your own path and order of the story (not a fixed sequential character switching within/throughout missions just like gta 5)
depending on the paths of the story line that you take the final boss could be different in each gameplay run(kinda like infamous good and bad karma choices but it impacts the storyline much more)
james heller with the help of some trust worthy blackwatch personnel (possibly dana mercer as well) after being experimented will become the first person to embody the white light antivirus (basically he becomes similar anti venom in the spiderman series) his appearance changes from black and red to white with some black outlines on edges keeping the bright red glow aura, his attacks are now more fatal to infected especially evolved and he will also becomes the closest thing to the cure to the virus
elizabeth greene regains her powers to emit mass infection fogs and she also gets her own share of the hive mind once more (which was hers to begin with) being able to control and nurture the infected again, her main objective is to control every being on earth connecting them all to the hive mind her appearance is dark red and black outlines with a light green glow aura, and lets not forget about those enemy chasing orbs that she spawns
alex mercer after him and green emerging from heller's body is now in his second amnesia and free of elizabeth greene's corruption, he returns to his original blacklight appearance, black with light orange outlines and blood red aura, this alex mercer is different, there are no hints of memory flashbacks no humane logic or values left, this is the alex mercer that is the modified/rogue blacklight virus embodiment where in the virus takes full control of his actions (the closest to the perfect form of the virus- dr McMullen) this alex acts more instinctively rather than objectively, he can be both enemy or friend to all creatures infected or non, his logic is simple, as long as he sees you as a threat you will be on his death list, this mercers main goal is to reach its perfect form, and to be the most superior being in existence basically an unrivaled god
paraiah after telepathically feeling the mass activity of the virus he was somehow disturbed and awakened by it forcing his way out of black watch maximum containment facility and discovering the outside world for the first time after 30 plus years, paraiah's appearance is black with red outline with a gold aura, since paraiah is the perfect form of the virus the way he thinks is similar to mercer but with human logic since he is born both human and virus, paraiah observes and explored the outside world and sees how unfair it is seeing some beings dominant to others, paraiah's main goal is to make every single being similar so everyone would be equal and to do that the only way is to infect and transform every single being, regulate everything, and control everything at will when needed, and the outliers wishing to dominate others and break the equality will be eliminated, basically paraiah wants to be a god in his fair world
a few more notes to gameplay:
all boss battles should be commenced on open world encounters (similar to monster hunter world) unlike in the previous games wherein some boss battles limit the battlefield
there will be a normal ending wherein you take bosses one by one and execute them and an enhanced boss at the very end which you also get to execute
there will also be an ultimate ending wherein you beat bosses one by one in the storyline but you do not have the option to execute them causing them to flee, the ending would be a four way rumble with you against three other bosses each with their own enhanced forms and their/your reinforcements giving you the chance to take them all out at once (you can call reinforcements optionally when they are ready)
there will also be an endless battle mode wherein there is no way whatsoever to eliminate bosses, pretty much similar to the ultimate ending but it does not give you the option to execute the bosses thus giving them the chance to flee and recover though the story progress will still be 100% complete, cool features about this ending is you will be able to encounter these bosses in free roam sometimes they're just causing havoc, sometimes they hunt you down or ambush you, sometimes they come across another boss and battle each other, it could be one, two, or all three of them situationally, could be on different areas or one specific area and also all the things mentioned above you can do it to them as well especially hunt/ambush
all characters have their enhanced form and monstrous forms (kinda like Elizabeth Greene's worm form but less freakish more refined) kinda humanoid beast like giving them enhanced strength, mobility, and flight as well
paraiah: aviary features like a phoenix mixed with an angel
mercer: reptilian features like a winged dragon human mixed with a devil
greene: plant like features like poison ivy in dc comics but a lil fleshy and freaky
heller: insect-like features mixed with some arachnid features as well
an additional feature wherein if you finished the game in endless battle mode you will have the option to create your own character which is paraiah's first born with a blackwatch's white light development staff researcher, the story will revolve following the events of endless battle mode and your main goal is to beat all 4 bosses one by one or all at once and of course endless battle as well

JUST HAPPY TO SEE THIS GAME STILL GOT A COMMUNITY
Still wondering how Alex lost to Heller, despite being the original one which has the full potential and power. Yet losing to someone who was just infected. Someone explain
Because Alex got cocky with James in their fight, wasted his power by spreading the virus, not consuming any of his infected monsters or evolved, and having a twisted idea for world peace instead of world war where it would benefit him more than peace in his vision.
More like the virus was controling him
James dna is better than his. This making him unconsumable and a father evolver.
Armor
Plot
@@michaeljason2593 bruh he consumed all of his associates in the final fight but for whatever reason he's still losed.
Both are good overall I feel like Prototype 2 is better the only thing I wish they had in the sequel is heller should move as fast as Mercer did in the first game, and also I wish it was more tendrils in hellers devastator. And I wish they included the Graveyard spike devastator.
You know that full upgraded Heller, is actually faster than Mercer right?
Go check.
@@-ayoshattah-ilya14ans70 just doesn’t feel faster. You feel a lot faster in p1 idk why maybe its bc we get an option to use the armor and move slower. Being able to switch between a clunky tank w armor and a nimble GOD w heller always made me feel like i was going a million mph

Every masterpiece: [PROTOTYPE]
Has it's cheap copy: PROTOTYPE 2
I finally found my childhood game it was very amazing and got me confused most of time the favorite thing I do in this game is drag people with my sharp arm knife and kick em in outer space
why they wont make this kind of games no more :(
These games plus Spiderman Web of shadows. Life was good
Prototype 2 was arguably better, but the upgrade paths broke that game and even the higher difficulties didn’t alleviate the issues. You also have the lack of interesting bonus missions and the story feeling less interesting in general. I remember sinking hundreds of hours into Prototype, but dropped Prototype 2 after beating it two times.
Combat wise? Yes, if you ignore a lot of upgrades. The combo attacks are a great idea but having the ability to dodge or block with a QTE gets real stale. Nothing becomes a threat. Helicopter? Finisher Move. Tank? Finisher move. Infected enemy? Use combo abilities and watch the HP vanish.
On my first playthrough, the only difficult boss was trying to not hit the Goliath for the bonus mission.
I did a minimal upgrade/level run on the hardest difficulty. I died to Mercer a few times, because either Alex glitched and stopped taking damage or the game is hard-coded that you have to be a certain level to hurt him.
Prototype 1 was limited, I won't deny that. I enjoyed taking down bosses and larger enemies in it on Intense Difficulty than PT2 and I tried to make Intense harder.
agree..
I never upgrade everything until I have to and then I reload the less op saves
Nah prototype 2 was hella boring and the story is shit plus less skills, the first was better.
Something to remember and note is the background.
Heller was a soldier and it can be seen in his weapons. The claws start as serrated combat knifes and become more like blades as they evolve, while his sword starts as a blade and evolves into something resembling a machete.
Alex was a surgeon/scientists and it shows on both claws and blade. A detail with the claws is he actually retracts the others while extending one, leaving a clean cut. This can be seen on a upgrade.
As for the blade, we can see that it resembles a scalpel.
Not to mention the behaviour on attacks.
Heller goes for destruction and brute force (finishers with claws ripping instead of slicing and tearing with the tentacles) while Mercer would go most of the time for a quick death (Using the back of the blade to quickly stab the head when consuming, using the whip to smash them onto the ground, punching a hole through the torso, smashing the head, spliting in two with claws, slicing in half vertically with the blade, on stealth going for the neck, etc)
1:50 The best feature in the entire game
A series that was way ahead of it's time
Idk why but Alex suit much more as anti hero this Activision guys have changed the story those fools
The fact that they actually give you skins for Alex and James in the second game shows that the old generation knew how to make a sequel ❤️❤️🔥
I miss this game so much. Btw alex is more op for me i think..
The music in prototype 1 makes it even more sick
A prototype 3 would be amazing
I would say Alex Mercer spreades more tendrils and James Heller does it with much more power
I just downloaded Prototype 2 like 2 days ago and heard about it like a month ago. I didn’t even know they had a second game until I was about to purchase the first prototype game. Looking at both of them as comparisons, I’m happy about my choice. 10/10 games
