PC - Prototype - Prototype Dev Working On Possible Sequel? Split-screen: "Radical Entertainment's built a solid reputation as a sandbox game developer emphasizing more on all-out fun and enjoyment than rote missions and repetition. Their latest title, Prototype, has proved that to a T and come out a great success, even against more hyped titles like inFamous and veteran franchises like Red Faction. It seems we haven't seen the last of our friendly neighbourhood sociopath Alex Mercer just yet."

PC - Prototype - Prototype Trounces inFamous The NPD numbers show an interesting battle between two similar games: Prototype and inFamous.

Excerpt: "Now, however, that the June NPD numbers are out we can finally declare a winner and put this to rest as early reports had inFamous selling around 190,000 copies for the first week, but the NPD numbers had a weaker showing of 175,900 in May. The June numbers show an additional 192,700 for inFamous, bringing it up to a total of 368,600 since launch while Prototype racked up 419,900 on the Xbox 360 alone. We don't know the number of PS3 sales, as it apparently didn't make the top 10 reported by NPD - and PC sales are currently unavailable.

But even without PS3 and PC sales it would seem that Prototype has come out as the fan favorite over inFamous."

PC - Prototype - Prototype Tops Weekly Steam Sales Charts PC gamers like open world action games just like their console counterparts and that's pretty clear in Steam's latest weekly sales report. The list shows the Radical Entertainment-Activision game Prototype zoom to the top of Steam's sales list (based on revenue for the past seven days and ending on Sunday morning).

The rest of the list includes Railworks, the new train simulation title from RailSimulator.com, in the number 9 position. Also Tripwire Interactive's co-op shooter Killing Floor continues to make a killing; it's at number 3 on the list and has so far remained in the top five since it's release in mid-May.

1. Prototype - Activision
2. Left 4 Dead - Valve
3. Killing Floor - Tripwire Interactive
4. Team Fortress 2 - Valve
5. Counter-Strike Source - Valve
6. The Orange Box - Valve
7. Call of Duty 4 - Activision
8. Penubra Collector Pack - Frictional Games
9. Railworks - Railsimulator.com
10. Plants Vs. Zombies - PopCap

PC - Prototype - Prototype: PS3 graphical feature missing from 360 and PC Prototype is rendered at 1120 by 640 pixels, with QAA (quinux anti-aliasing) on the PS3 and 2xMSAA (multisample anti-aliasing) on the Xbox 360. The differences between these two solutions for video game "jaggies" are not terribly distinct, apart from a slight blur to the image with QAA; if sufficiently integrated into the game's art style this won't severely impact visual quality (such as is seen in Killzone 2.)

Of course, resolution and aliasing are not really an issue in the PC version of the game, which depending on your set-up can render up to 2560 by 1600 pixels with 4xMSAA.

You will find that the PS3 game's framerate can suffer from significant screen tearing when there's lots of action going on (which is a common occurrence in Prototype). The Xbox 360 game is locked at 30 frames-per-second, and generally runs steadily with minimal screen tearing. Screen tearing is a phenomenon where rendered frames overlap, creating a torn look as two parts of an object fail to line up.
