infamous on June 2nd
prototype on June 9th
nice timing lol
-
Will buy one, and rent the other. Prototype looks like a blast, but I have a feeling it won't take all that long to see all the sights, so to speak.
-
Getting both eventually.
Infamous is looking more appealing, though. And the impressions have been much better.
-
Between moving to my own place, and getting the $ ready for Milan, i'm gonna rent Infamous and download Prototype. It's hard out there for a broke ass.
-
Hulk UD rocked, though. Might have had something to do with playing as the Hulk, but hey.
-
I think it's pretty much unchallenged in offering destructive opportunities and variety in how to tear shit up. Unlike later efforts like Crackdown, it also offered some progressive challenge level by way of Hulk Busters and deadlier strike teams. The powers kicked ass, too.
-
It doesn't really get wicked awesome until you get some decent powers. Critical Mass powers :hyper
All praise sung, however, I'm not convinced that I need another one, at least not to the tune of buying it.
-
I don't think I'm getting either game, but that is distinguished mentally-challenged timing indeed. Sometimes I get the impression developers/publishers live in a bubble.
-
Awesome. Between these and Bionic Commando will have lots of fun HD action until DQIX import in July.
Now why aren't there any games coming out until the 2nd half of May? :( Not that I need any new games with my backlog, but nothing new and exciting to look forward to from now until Bionic on May 19th.
-
I'm in no hurry for either. Dunno which one I'd go for when the tiem comes
-
Sony reloads gun, continues shooting at foot.
game of the summer will be KOF XII, you all know it.
-
Infamous seems to have more potential simply due to the fact that it almost seems to be a linear action game set in an open world while Prototype is a complete sandbox game. I suppose they both have potential.
-
Infamous is only on the PS3. You can tell by the responses in this thread.
-
Actually kind of good news for the frugal gamer, since it means I won't have to wait long to filter the forum impressions and make my choice on which game will fill the hole while I wait for Crackdown 2.
Crackdown 8)
-
Infamous is the one made by Sucker Punch, easy choice
-
Infamous was just pushed up a week, it's now releasing May 26th.
They say they're releasing it earlier only because of Sucker Punch working extra hard. I'm thinking it's because of another action game releasing around the same time :teehee
-
Cool, then I'll have time to give it some playtime before work and Red Faction Guerrilla devours my life.

when does batman comes out?
June 23rd according to Amazon

Infamous looks ugly and repetitive. Prototype looks repetitive, but also looks like a blast. Will probably rent both.

GOTY? Seems so.
Will it be M Rated?
Rating: Teen
Content descriptors: Alcohol and Tobacco Reference, Blood, Mild Language, Suggestive Themes, Violence
Rating summary: This is an action game featuring characters from the Batman franchise. Players assume the role of Batman as he fights (never kills) his way through a psychiatric hospital populated by psychopathic criminals and humans infected with a toxic virus. Players can punch, kick, and use weapons (spikes, light beams, and other gadgets) to defend against the onslaught of enemies. Some attacks are highlighted by special effects, such as slow-motion hits and close-ups of damage inflicted. During the course of the game, players can enter rooms with blood stains on the ground and walls or witness the "infected" twitching and screaming in pain. Some inmates and guards are strewn unconscious/dead on the asylum floors, while others are tied-up, strapped to torture devices, or are being tortured (e.g., a guard suffering in an electric chair). Two female characters wear provocative outfits that expose deep cleavage and/or partial buttocks, and one of them moans suggestively when she is in peril. Players are occasionally required to identify and track traces of whiskey/tobacco during missions. Some expletives (e.g., "b*tch," "damn," and "pissed") can be heard in the dialogue.
