PS3 - Prototype - Prototype officially delayed to mid '09 PS3fanboy: "We should really be used to delays by now. Just after we showed you a crazy video for Prototype, we've gotten word that the game is going to get pushed back into April of 2009. Well, the April part isn't "official" according to Sierra, but the 2009 is. As a spokesperson for Sierra said, "in the simplest explanation possible, we need more time to deliver the game the team initially set out to create." This also brings the possibility of multiplayer back onto the table for consideration, but it hasn't been confirmed as part of the plan yet. We'll keep you informed as news unfurls."

PS3 - Prototype - New Details Unveiled for Prototype: Mayhem Unleashed Gamedaily writes: "After working on The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction for Sierra Games, Vancouver, British Columbia-based developer Radical Games embarked on a project that was more multi-dimensional. They set about creating Prototype, the first open world action game that plays out like a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, according to Tim Bennison, executive producer of the project.

Bennison and lead designer Eric Holmes were on hand at GDC to talk about their new game and show some exclusive new levels behind closed doors at the St. Regis Hotel.

In Prototype, players assume the role of Alex Mercer, a shapeshifter in present-day New York City. The city's under siege by a mysterious outbreak that's spreading throughout Manhattan, creating a scenario for a three-way war among Alex, the Army and the infected monsters that come in 40 different shapes and sizes."

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.
