lol I guess this is what Superman would be like if he had no regard for human life. Looks pretty badass.

hopefully it won't be boring like infamous is

6/1/2009 8:06:44 PM

^i was getting the 2 games confused for a little bit. i remembered seeing all the early leaked prototype videos and stuff... and then the other day i saw some in-game infamous footage and was thinking "wow this looked way cooler before, now it's just a FPS where your hand is the gun."

but yeah, prototype has potential to be badass.

The funniest thing about that gameplay video is that he is just demolishing shit with his powers, then all of a sudden, he is using guns....

Why would he need guns?

6/1/2009 8:59:19 PM

any game where you can elbow drop a tank to death HAS to be fun

6/1/2009 9:02:55 PM

^lol my thoughts exactly.

Looks like there is some type of "rage" mode or something...perhaps you don't always have access to your abilities?

Or maybe that's early in the game when you don't have access to all your powers.

Who knows.

it's probably those supermoves he has

like all those tentacles he shoots out, or the spikes from the ground

it seems to have ripped quite a bit off from web of shadows, and i'm perfectly alright with that

6/2/2009 5:04:51 PM

i'm sorry, but infamous was anything but boring

this looks like it will be a lot of fun as well

6/2/2009 6:24:07 PM

this actually looks a lot like Ironman, especially with the hulkbuster armor

6/2/2009 7:00:02 PM

god mode?

6/2/2009 8:39:16 PM

Actually, fuck, it looks like it plays just like Marvel Nemesis (single player), except you can pick up guns and pilot vehicles.

This game is pure awesome. Never played a game that makes you feel so powerful yet is still so fun.

These guys also need to make a spider-man game. Running/jumping/climing/gliding through NY is incredible.

i'm guessing you've never played web of shadows

6/23/2009 3:46:51 PM

Never even heard of it

6/23/2009 4:55:01 PM

Was wondering where the thread was for this game... not enough to search it out, but hey.

It's ok, and that's the first thing I thought ^^^ why can't they make a spider-man game like this (speed wise). All the others I remember playing felt like spider-man was just crawling around (pun). I like the fast pace better, but sometimes I do have the tendency to overshoot things.

The frame rate is a little lower that what I'd like, but that's probably just me.

I'll have to check out Web of Shadows. I heard it sucked but I'm probably confusing it with some other spider-man game that came out recently. Something about playing as the villains or something.

Just checked IGN. So, if Web of Shadows is so awesome how did it end up with a 5/10? Did someone not buy ad space?

6/23/2009 5:06:40 PM

the voice acting and a handful of quicktime events are all i can knock it for

6/23/2009 6:30:56 PM

Anyone else experiencing delayed countdowns for the bonus/mini games? They all give a 3... 2... 1... countdown, but mine has about a 10-15 second delay between the numbers:

3.......................................................................
10-15 second gap
2........................................................................
10-15 second gap
1.......................................................................
10-15 second gap
GO

The countdown for the minigame where you glide to a target is especially bad in this regard. Maybe it's because I turned off v-sync.

Seriously folks, this game the Spider-man version of this game is called Web of Shadows; it is excellent and you should play it.

i'm enjoying this about 10 hours in. the graphics aren't nearly as good as infamous, and I feel like it's a little too easy thus far (the only time I died thus far was dicking around inside a military base and seeing how much I could take down). the controls are ok right up until you are trying to maneuver around the top of buildings or actually aim. there's too much shit at street level to really effectively aim...I don't know why it has that lock on system a la GTA when there are 100x as many people on the street...i honestly think all 12M people in NYC decided to take a walk at the same time.
