inFamous: General Discussion

[Diamondsarnt4eva]

This is heresy where I come from but I would have to say the Prototype just has something that inFamous just doesn't. I don't know what it is.

I have both games and would have to say that I played inFamous and I was captivated by it. Then I played Prototype and was completely blown away.

Its phenomenal. Love the variety of things that you can do in Prototype. No Karma to worry whether you are good or bad. You can just go around liquefying people and it doesn't matter.

inFamous has parts that appeal to me as well and love it as well but I would have to say that overall Prototype wipes the floor with inFamous.

yep, im converted, once you get the hang of the fast pace and complexity its phenomenal. Like, you just decimate anything and everything in your path.

Ive never seen something where you are such a powerful character.

But.. but... but you're a mod ..its your duty to like all that is SCEA/E/J

hahaha I jest I jest ...again its personal opinion,

imo in some ways (ie mercer being able to kick coles arse)

Prototype is great, more depth in levelling up...on the other hand.

inFamous has in my opinion, better story, better visuals,

more depth to the gameplay.

The other thing Id say is I prefer the movement in Prototype overall.

though inFamous gets better as you become more powerful.

Two things I noticed with Prototype on metacritic:

1. On release day its score was 93. Now it's normal for a score to go down, but for 360 it's currently 78, and PS3 it's 80.. that's a huge drop. InFamous was about 92 on release and went down to 85 (which is too low IMO )

2. The big websites/magazines rated InFamous higher than Prototype. IGN gave it a 9.2, 9.0 & either a 8.6 or 8.8, can't remember. The one IGN review I read of PT gave it a 7.5. Game Informer gave Prototype around a 7 also. Theres a couple of other examples, can't remember teh scores. I think Gamespy & Gamespot also.

I'm probably sounding like an InFamous fanboy, and hey I probably am, but that's just a couple of things I noticed which were interesting. Oh, and I'm buying Prototype. Just wasn't a day one purchase for me, I'll get it when it's cheaper.

arrrgghhhh. I cant decide, getting Infamous or Prototype. Limited dosh. They seem like I'd like them both though.

Buy inFamous now, as it is a long game, and wait till Prototype is cheaper 

I have both and they're both TOP games imo !! 

[smokeypsd]

I ended up getting Prototype, it was 74 at JB and Infamous was 108, so the price did the talking. Next purchase will prolly be infamous though. Birthday money ftw!

[Ace-Jury]

i bought infamous and loved it. then i swaped with a mate for prototype but i just cant get into it. played a couple levels and then back to warhawk

[DashBob]

Yeah I just couldnt bring myself to liking prototype either. But then I guess some people are into stupid gore-fest's (no offense diamonds...)

I played the hell out of it, but did not enjoy at all.

That is sooo wrong (from my perspective), its not that bad, some times it can be pretty difficult but you expect games to be a bit challenging. Shockwave, nades and the sheild is ur best friend!
