GameTap - GDC 08 Blog: Prototype Panel

PS3 News from N4G | Prototype

PS3 - Prototype - GameTap - GDC 08 Blog: Prototype Panel

GameTap writes: Open-world games-the term that both lead designer Eric Holmes and executive producer Tim Bennison use to describe games such as Grand Theft Auto-are complex affairs. During this lecture about their thoughts and design goals for Prototype, they threw a lot of information at the audience: ranging from a comparison of gameplay models for other genres, to how the 1951 film The African Queen has a poignant quote about human behavior that helps shape the team's view on player behavior (when Bogart comments "A man takes a drop too much once in a while, it's only human nature").

While the panel didn't show anything really new (most of the gameplay footage and details are the same as what GameTap saw in our first preview), it was still fascinating to hear about some of the under-the-hood items that crossed the developers' mind.

New Prototype screens, vid up the awesome

PS3 News | Prototype

Jan 9, 2008 New screens and a comment-laden vid give us an inside look at the main villain force in Prototype - The Blackwatch. It's bad enough that our hero, Alex, has freakish superpowers to deal with - now he's got a top secret government agency out to take him down? Talk about a bad day. These Blackwatch dudes might seem small-time compared to Alex's car-flipping and helicopter 'splosion abilities, but don't let their silly-looking suits fool you. They're trained to deal with "things" ...

Alex Mercer - gaming's 'darkest' anti-hero?

PS3 News | Prototype

Oct 10, 2007 Alex Mercer. An innocuous name if ever there was one. But, according to developer Radical Entertainment, when he makes his debut in Prototype next summer he's going to emerge from the shadows of obscurity as one of gaming's "darkest anti-heroes" and the "ultimate ass-kicking machine." We like him already. Whenever we've seen Prototype in action we've been massively impressed by the free-roaming inferno of carnage that Mercer seems to be able to spark without even scuffing his ...

Urban carnage in new Prototype screens

PS3 News | Prototype

Oct 3, 2007 We got a hold of ten new screens of the genre-mashing Prototype. Now we can't stop wishing we had tentacle arms with super-human strength and the ability to run over cars like a ninja - we wouldn't have to tuck our jewelry away when visiting mates in Stratford, East London. That dude who gave us the evil-eye on the train this morning for having bulky camera equipment would have got a tentacle in the face, and we'd just car-hop from the station to the office. Now that you've seen ...
