29:23 Well funny thing we all kinda did... there was a PROTOTYPE comic that not a lot of ppl know about, especially considering the promotion for it wasn't basically non existent. But it follows Alex after PROTOTYPE 1 it's canon, came out before the 2nd game and shows why he's a villain in PROTOTYPE 2
its kinda funny because infamous also has a comic in between 1 and 2. Just more comparisons to draw between the two series. Too bad prototype never had a 3
@phobosanomaly5383 Well, he was always neutral but viewed as evil. Even in the original, he was never actually Alex he was the virus itself in physical form like Venom took full control of someone vs. using them as a host.
If it’s not a “games as a service” they aren’t making it anymore. Even the upcoming Wolfenstein is going to be a “game as a service” game. What a shame.
Some people prefer not being over powered and giving enemies a chance to win which is Infamous . And some people prefer to be the Boss of the game which is Prototype
@@TheGreatestBoxing7 While sure it would be nice you gotta remember he's a content creator he already made the content he has no real obligation to communicate with us in anyway
If Sony wants to Make A successful Venom game in which they have a beautiful blueprint in Prototype 2 or work with those guys that made that game a relic in time .
Infamous 2 was amazing. My only critiques is that it does not address all the loose ends of the first game. Moya and Alden Tate die in a comic book when players should have seen their demise in the games, and Sasha is taken by the First Sons but nothing is known about her whereabouts in the second game. Overall, 2 was great, though. It's a shame that Sucker Punch did not use the evil ending as the canon ending.
My head cannon for the change of voice actor in inFamous is the incident that gave him his powers, also fried his vocal cords and they needed time to heal.
@Boooozle I felt like it gutted all the cool stuff I did as a kid in prototype 1 and made the game much simpler and more boring. In my younger years' opinion
With all due respect dude, while i never play infamous, while i see from this video that graphics better and the animation is good, snowball slinging simulator aint my type and it looks hella boring. On the other side, i really dig the combat of Prototype 2. And how cool the virus are. Maybe the animation and graphic isnt on par but hell if i wanna go for graphic ill open Instagram, not play game.
prototype 2 was so fucking good at what it set out to do it's unreal, infamous 2 same thing, but both are very different, the main consistency beyond that is both are way better than the previous entries
Damn this video is incredible. i remeber playing these when I was like 10 back in 2011 and remembering no one playing this. I'm glad I can now watch a high quality video discussing the games in great detail. thank you heaps for this bro. Keep making more videos!!
A Conduit a basic prime Conduit already has more power and hax than a Blackvirus as all Primes can bio leech and convert mass into energy for themselves to the atomical level. Next.
I LOVED infamous 2 😍. I remember getting a demo disk with my ps3 not expecting much until I started playing....I would be in work, excited for work to be over so I could go home to play haha.
I think it's pretty decisive when people say Infamous 2 is a big upgrade over Infamous 1 while fans are very iffy on Prototype 2 compared to the original. Only advantage the Prototype series has is that you can buy them on modern consoles and PC while the Infamous games are trapped on whatever original Sony console they released on. Praying we get a Macgrath collection rerelease some day.
I never realized how small the war was between these two when they had a whole jihad with the previous games probably because inFamous was exclusive or something. I still remember that article from Jim Sterling where he gives 10 reasons why Prototype was better and among the greats were the spelling of inFamous, calling Sucker Punch racist without elaborating, and Final Fantasy XIII being on the 360.
Infamous 2 had one of the best endings ive seen and im talking about the evil ending. Siding with the beast is cole actually taking control of his own destiny. Its also taking a deeper perspective on not just morally right and wrong but what choice is logically better. Do you use the rfi and sacrifice yourself and all other conduits for a 50/50 chance youll even cure the plague. putting all of humanity at risk if your hope for a miracle device will even work? Or do you join the beast and know for certain you can save a fraction of the population rather than none. Making conduits the new dominant race, immune to the plague and able to have humanity continue on. Prototype 2 just doesn’t have that thought provoking story.
as some one who started off with prototype, and has definitely played prototype much more, infamous 2 is way better than 2, and id say even the first prototype. pro2 is better than in1, pro1 is better than in1. but in2, is easily one of the best sandbox, super power, and whatever other game genres it applies for. which prototype 2 just really doesnt meet. i think the only thing i really even like about pro2 is the Red Noir(black and white with the exception of red) cutscenes, as its my favorite "filter", and the ability to dual powers. and i disagree with the needing to play infamous 1 part. i just played infamous 2 first for the longest time(i was like 8 or somethin, forgive me) and all that i NEEDED to know was Kessler. even white, who you technically need to know, isnt really built up in the first. Cole and whites very low friendship is only weighty in the second. and with prototype 2, its not bad, but i think its way worse control layout wise than the first, but maybe thats just cause ive played the first so much that pro2s layout won't ever fit with me. but look, ive completed infamous 2 and pro1 SEVERAL TIMES! shit maaaaaaaan ive easily beaten, without any joking, prototype 1 at LEAST like 30 times. i was, obsessed. i havent ever gotten around to being prototype 2 after my first time great games but inFAMOUS is just above. still tho, great video and all opinions are valid oh an yee alex was bland in character in the first, but he just looks cooler, and then they still made him cooler in sequel. cooler than james
I love prototype more but can't deny how good infamous story line is on top of the very decent gameplay etc. So as a game based on technical merit infamous win but as a gaming experience prototype wins by a landslide.
29:30 You feel like you missed an arc cause you probably did. Its not your fault cause it gets explored in comics. If you werent made aware of its existence you wouldve missed out. I also didnt know about the comic till a few years ago
Seems like kind of a weird set of games to pit against each other. Both franchises are really different in terms of tone, gameplay, story, mechanics, intrigue, immersion, etc etc. Just because of the bottom shelf observation of “both guy have superpowers and run and jump haha” doesn’t mean they’re significantly comparable.
why alex over heller? hoody and collars up over tank collar, and hoody down. it's a style question for me. i don't like hellers boots either, makes it look like he wears clown shoes XD both chars are bland as hell, but, alex moreso has an excuse. the dude is basiclly a virus that gained sentience, from copying some random science white guy. both are about as fun as coming home as a kid with your happy meal, just to find out they forgot your toy.
Prototype 2 for sure despite it being a bit more limited than even prototype 1. I think if infamous leaked into its themes more without the kinda cheesiness it also had I may have personally liked it more . But I’ve always enjoyed pro type more despite the very loose story. The gameplay was always much better and the animations weren’t so distractingly janky as with infamous

@@dylansams4064 I know I still wait for a PROTOTYPE 3 announcement even tho I know it won't happen 😂
That comic gave a terrible reasom for alex being evil
Story archs like that being put in outside media is easily the worst way to tell a story.

i miss these types of games, great retrospective btw keep up the good work
Prototype was just too damn easy. Still a good game though

Nah. Even in inFAMOUS you're still pretty much OP. It's just enemies can actually fight back more but not by much

Bro I just found your videos and they are so good. I love your casual, talking to a friend on the couch cadence
inFAMOUS 2. And it's not even close
Edit: just finished the video. Still, inFAMOUS 2
No shit
You're my friend now
Prototype 2 was a fantastic game!
But yeah it's no competition, Infamous 2 was the superior

I think there are comics that explain why Alex became what he became in prototype 2.
Great video! I'm looking forward to checking out your other content!
Are you planning on doing a video on Second Son?
I respectfully disagree at some points but this is a very well thought out breakdown of these two games just subbed
I love Infamous and Infamous 2 but I got to give it to the Prototype series. At least those aren't stuck on the PS3.
I just watched your first video on these two games and I got into prototype this evening
Damn this video is incredible. i remeber playing these when I was like 10 back in 2011 and remembering no one playing this. I'm glad I can now watch a high quality video discussing the games in great detail. thank you heaps for this bro. Keep making more videos!!
What it boils down to is what powers would you have. Who the fuck wouldnt want to be a Mercer 😂

Infamous 2 actually feels more at home for me sonce I'm a Louisiana native...
There's a prototype 2 comic that explains why mercer goes all supervillain.
2 canadians were mean to him.
No seriously.

very well made video man seriously keep it up you'll do every well
I liked both sequels, but Infamous 2 is definitely the better one in comparison.
infamous 2 will forever be that game man
You're a underrated channel
Great video. I understand you can’t do a comparison for the next games cause there’s no prototype 3 😂, but I’d enjoy seeing you talk about second son.

Prototype 2 just doesn’t have that thought provoking story.
If there's one thing prototype 2 had going for it, it was dialouge
I still maintain that [PROTOTYPE2] is one of the funniest games I've ever played.

If they ever make a carnage game they should use prototype as a prototype
I feel the same way about Prototype 2 being divisive. It’s a much more refined game and I’m even playing through it a third time now.
InFAMOUS 2 Is More Than a Game

So!!! need remakes of these games (and the 1st ones)
u gotta read the comics to find out in order to understand cole and zekes relationship or just watch zivalines video
Fun fact: the voice actor for infamous 2 Cole is actually the same guy!
I know, surprised me to!

infamous - the best.
From the way this guy talks you already know who he picks as the winner from the beginning
Wym by that 🤨🤨
@@sonofodin1044he means who ever he glaze the most
Infamous is just a shooter though.✌🏾
Not even close. It's inFAMOUS 2.
Now let's watch the video.
Infamous
Prototype 2 was better than 1 in every single way
Felt way more powerful in prototype 2
INFAMOUS 2 and its not even remotely close.
Infamous 2 by a fucking mile!! Don’t get me wrong, both games are very nearly perfect but they both have their flaws.
Let’s go
24:04
Can we stop pretending Prototype 1 and 2 are "super hero games" cuz we all know what those games are about 😈
You ain't no hero in those games 😈
I feel like prototype 2 makes you feel like more of a powerhouse while infamous 2 make you feel powerful
