Prototype Info Revealed at Sierra Spring Break
The release of Grand Theft Auto IV makes it difficult for gamers pay attention to other games on the horizon, but the developers of Prototype seem to think they can get your attention with hectic and gory gameplay footage.
Watch the video and click the jump to read on.
Prototype is a sandbox-style action game in development by Radical Entertainment. The main concept behind the game is “disguise and destroy;” the player can choose to disguise themselves or cause total chaos and misery to the unfortunate digital locals. The protagonist Alex Mercer can absorb the bodies of those he has killed to learn their memories, experiences, abilities, and disguises. Alex also has the ability to shape shift to cause harm to the people around him (Check out the gameplay footage to get a better idea of the shape shifting concept).
The game looks to be pretty brutal, but how does this sandbox world stack up against GTA IV? In an interview with videogaming247, Prototype producer Max Belanger says:
“I think in terms of scale the world is going to be a big bigger [than GTA IV]. However, they’ll have some weather systems that we won’t have.”
Prototype will also feature a constantly evolving world with complete night and day cycles.
Prototype is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2008 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.

That looks pretty sweet. Especially when he gets those claw things.
I’m kinda looking forward to this game especially since it has the co-op, but the main sand box title I’m waiting for is Infamous.
