Prototype > inFAMOUS

[Wolf Gang]

Because of unretarded character design.

How am I supposed to get involved in a game if the main character is dressed like Justin Timberlake in a N'Sync music video?

Seriously.

OH NO IN THIS VIDEO GAME I AM PLAYING A GIRL. I AM A MAN. I CANNOT PLAY A VIDEO GAME AS A GIRL. THIS GAME SUCKS!

Least interesting joke character since FancyFeast

There's a reason why God of War is so awesome.

Kratos is the man. The man.

THE man.

[Great Rumbler]

I agree with the OP.

But only because I have an Xbox360 and not a PS3.

infamous' character design > prototype character design

infamous' character design > prototype character design

Gotta agree with that. Prototype's design is kind of emo with the black non-conformist hoodie pulled over. If he ever takes it off, I bet he has bangs

[bork]

They both look generic and stupid.  You're all reported.

[patrickula]

Yeah both are pretty lame.
Prototype is less stupid looking but also more bland.
Both games could be good though I'm more hyped by what I've seen of Infamous.

I don't even know what either of these games are, or what they're about... god damn, I'm so out of it when it comes to modern games not on a portable or not by Capcom/S-E/Atlus.

more fleshed out versions of crackdown. 

infamous is by sucker punch (sly cooper) and is ps3 exclusive.  electricity is your power and you can use it in a variety of ways.  you are sort of tied to the grid, which can have a dynamic effect on how you can perform in certain areas/circumstances.

prototype is by the group who did incredible hulk, and is multi-plat.  hero reminds me of Carnage -- a polymorph.

[Wolf Gang]

The second best character design ever is Hitman.

Dude is vicious in a suit and bald head.

By the way, I love Riddick's mythos and personality, but why the fuck is he always dressed like a bum? Is that part of being hardcore?

I ask because Dave "The Animal" Batista is the very definition of hardcore and he always looks pimp as shit in a suit.

Anyway, to stay on topic, the lead character of inFAMOUS doesn't even look asian but is wearing some chinese/japanese heiroglyphics all over his clothes. That shit is so 90's when Dragonball Z was all the rage.

The lead character of Prototype, however "bland," is at least dressed like a normal person (relatively speaking... I mean, look at what we're comparing it to), leaving the possibility open for his actions to add personality to his clothes rather than the other way around.

To me, inFAMOUS' character design is going to be a major obstacle in my enjoyment of the game.

Infamous looks awesome in a Spiderman meets Batman kind of way.

Prototype looks awesome in a Hulk goes violent kind of way.

[cool breeze]

Infamous looks more interesting to me if only because it is Crackdown with more super powers.  There looks to be that same joy of scaling a building and all that.  Prototype looks like a Spider-Man or Hulk game, which isn't bad or anything, but they are totally different experiences.  Personally I like the style of Infamous more.

[Wolf Gang]

Infamous looked pretty iffy in that direct feed demo G4 had, hopefully it was just the guy playing it that sucked.

Prototype looks like a game anyone can pick up and go apeshit with.

I'd rather go apeshit than try to aim lightning bolts with the DualShock 3, am I right?

No, but really, I don't know what comic books Sucker Punch has been reading but no main character should have that design. They need to start reading the Punisher comic books or something. And Dylan is a gay name. Only gay couples name their adopted kids Dylan.

And lighting is not cool. It sucked when Zeus had it. It sucked when Raiden had it. It sucked when Storm had it. It sucks now. Always has, always will. Frankly, I think that being able to draw power from the city grid through an electrical outlet in the wall or whatever is more gimmicky than the Nintendo Wii.

[Wolf Gang]

Fire would've been awesome. You could've burned everything down. Then they wouldn't have had to worry about textures because everything would've been black and in ashes.

In the end, I'm glad they didn't go with fire. If I had to play as Dylan, I'd be too tempted to turn the fire on myself and burn myself down, for being a flaming faygo with that character design.

See what I did with the "flaming" part there? I'm so good.
