Here are two trailers of Prototype 2. Enjoy!



Also here is an interview video with the Vice President of Radical Entertainment.


Prototype 2 will be released in 2012 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I will post more updates once they are announced.
 
Oh yeah, I'm going to play. Shame we can't play as Mercer again -- I really enjoyed that his motive was little more than exterminating the people that screwed him over. Sometimes, motivations need not be complicated~

Yet, I am left wondering how this relates to the final words of the first game? "....My name is Alex Mercer, and my work is almost done." I would've thought he'd be the PC right off the bat. Hmmm.....
 
Prototype 2 gets Blackwatch Collector’s Edition

Activision’s announced today the Blackwatch Collector’s Edition of Prototype 2. The CE will come with the full game, as well as content from the Radnet Edition, the first DLC pack Colossal Mayhem, a CD for the soundtrack, hardbound art book, a digi comic of Prototype: The Labrinth and a 20 percent discount code for the Prototype Merchandise Store. It’s out the same day as the game, April 24, for $80 on PS3 and 360.

There’s a video featuring the contents past the break.


 
Im actually interested in this new main character. Alex Mercer was a guy who suddenly got these powers etc. and wanted to find a cure. This new guy was actually a victim or lost someone (Im not sure) because of Alex.
He wants to hunt Alex and that is his main objective.

Really interesting perspective from another individual, but still a connection to the main game's char.

I loved Prototype because it was very addictive in the beginning. It ended up being a repetitive game with a short story/campaign.

This new perspective hopefully brings a longer story and new additions gameplay wise.

I will probably buy this.
 
Prototype 2 monsters get the screenshot treatment, new video released

Activision has released a large set of assets for Prototype 2 which provide a look at some of the enemies players will come into contact with in the game. Along with the screenshots and renders, are descriptions of the Infected, Juggernaught, Hydras, Brawlers, and the newest menace in the series, Flyers. Head on below the break to become acquainted with the horrid, mutated denizens of NYZ. There’s also a new video for the game below, courtesy of GiantBomb, and it’s an foreboding intro video called “Daddy’s Coming Home”.

Prototype 2 releases in the US on April 24 and in Europe on April 26 for PS3 and Xbox 360. The PC version will be released July 24.

Infected

The standard Blacklight entity is the Infected — standard human-sized and (generally) human-shaped walking dead that wander the streets mindlessly and seek to devour flesh and organs. A Blacklight outbreak appears to create hordes of these creatures; in reality, they represent less than 1% of all victims of the virus.

Infected are created when a Blacklight infection does not kill a victim but also fails to activate any notable dormant DNA in the victim. The victim will awaken from unconsciousness, display the intelligence of an animal, and seek purely to kill and consume living (and dead) organisms.

Infected retain a humanoid appearance but manifest various tumors and other viral growths that tear through clothing and greatly alter their silhouette. They have average speed, enhanced strength, and can be killed the same way as a regular human.

Juggernauts

Despite having once been mere infected humans, these beasts are as large as a van and just about as hard to destroy. Juggernauts are the tanks of the Blacklight legions — slow moving, powerful, and armoured. They possess huge, heavy fists and are capable of deflecting almost every attack.

Like Brawlers, it is likely that Juggernauts are born from a pustule. If so, no pustules large enough have ever been observed.

Juggernauts are usually grey-skinned, belying their rock-like flesh. When properly angled, their flesh deflect rockets and other powerful, high-speed attacks. Their primary attack method is simple: they smash their hammer-like fists on the enemy. Some variants of the Juggernaut have been shown to agitate the biomass running beneath the city, summoning a wave of spikes from the ground.

Hydras

Hydras are three-story-tall tentacles that erupt from the ground to swat at nearby enemies. They can burrow underground to reach a more advantageous position, sometimes choosing to erupt from the ground directly underneath a tank, building, or other enemy site.

It is not known where Hydras come from. It is possible that, since the biomass trunks also erupt from the underground, Hydras may simply be animal-like appendages that extend or “bud” from the biomass itself (no biomass trunk has yet shown this kind of behaviour or any kind of intelligence, even animal-like).

Hydras are pink- and red-glowing tapered worms. They are usually six feet wide at the base, where they erupt from the ground. Their mouths are topped with two bone-like mandibles that form a long pointed scoop. These mandibles can separate to reveal a mouth that spits out a tongue. This tongue can grab enemies and bring them closer for a titanic slap from the tentacle itself or, presumably, to be devoured.

Flyers

Flyers are a brand new phenomenon that have begun to appear in the skies over NYZ since the beginning of the second outbreak. Flyers are vulture-like monsters that spread the plague and attack anything that stands — or flies — in the open.

The origin of the Flyers has not been uncovered. Other than the Hydra, they are the only Blacklight monster that does not have a humanoid physiology. It’s possible that Flyers are city birds (pigeons, crows, starlings) that have been infected and mutated by the virus.
Flyers look like diseased vultures. They have pinkish flesh, scraggly feathers, and gnarled faces. Their wingspan is approximately two meters and they have bulk sufficient to knock a helicopter out of the sky. Their favorite attack method is to perform a high-speed dive-bomb. They mass in flocks.

Brawlers

Brawlers are infected monsters that are as large as a grizzly bear and just as savage. Like Infected, they seek to devour flesh — but Brawlers are much more predatory, intelligent, and dangerous. They run on all fours, leap several stories high, possess incredible strength and fortitude, and sport a pair of razor-sharp, foot-long claws.

Brawlers are born from Blacklight pustules: man-sized biomass wombs. A Brawler may merely be a base-level Infected that has entered a cocoon state, surrounded itself with a pustule, and then transformed into a Brawler (this has not been proven). Whatever the truth of it, it’s clear that Brawlers are born fully-formed, enraged, and ready to fight.

Of all the monsters, Brawlers are the fastest and most savage. They can easily keep up with a vehicle and just as easily topple it with a shoulder-check. Their flesh is pinkish, hairless, and glows with Blacklight-infused muscle fiber. They are incredibly strong and can sustain large amounts of damage before dying. Otherwise, they are simply very large humanoids that move on all fours.

Meet the Supersoldiers in Prototype 2

Activision has sent over a set of artwork depicting the Supersoldiers which were created during the process of the Project D-Code experiment.

heller-vs-supersoldier.jpg

Around 161 individuals were injected with a strain of the DX-1120 virus and while the result was a non-threatening, altered human, over time they began to gain incredible strength, size, speed and endurance. Thus, they turned into Supersoldiers.

These fellas are lethal fighters and use extensive force to thrust their will up enemies, and they can leap and climb over walls. They are also able to see if anyone is infected with the Blacklight virus; look out Sgt James Heller – they’re coming for you.

Check out the artwork below.

Prototype 2 releases in the US on April 24 and in Europe on April 26 for PS3 and Xbox 360. The PC version will be released July 24.

Prototype 2′s Heller doesn’t like helicopters or tanks very much

New shots for Prototype 2 have released, and each depict various air and ground vehicles in the game.

pt2-heller.jpg

In the gallery below, machines such as the transport helicopter, the gunship, the APC TOW launching personnel carrier, the Thermobaric helicopter, and the tank are shown.

Sgt. James Heller doesn’t seem to harbor much love for any of them, as you will see.

Heller can summon, control Brawlers in Prototype 2

Activision has released a new video for Prototype 2 which demonstrates the new Pack leader ability Heller can perform in the game. How it works, is he calls upon infected Brawlers and forces them to fight for him. Once summoned, Heller directs his these new allies to destroy tanks, helicopters other enemies, or whatever he needs them to do. They will follow his orders despite the danger to themselves. You can see how this works out for yourself below. Prototype 2 is out next week on PS3 and Xbox 360. The PC version releases in July.

It’s been more or less confirmed that Activision would be re-releasing the Prototype games for the PS4 after both titles’ achievements for the next-gen console made their way online last month. What we didn’t see were the achievements for the Xbox One version which lead some to believe that Activision’s new-found friendship with Sony would be having a knock-on effect.

Well, worry not, because it looks like Prototype 1 and its sequel will indeed be releasing on the Xbox One as well as the PS4. Spotted by an eagle-eyed twitter user, the game page for Prototype 2 has gone live on the Xbox One marketplace. The page listing, which can only be found by going through the ‘featured challenges’ section, shows that the game is to be released on July 14th which is a Tuesday – the standard release day for games.

The page listing also indicates that all the DLC that was previously released for the game back on the Xbox 360 and PS3 will be included as part of the update, though we sort of expected this one as Activision would be setting itself up for a world of Konami-like hate if it tried to get people to buy DLC across two-generations.

Yes, it’s not going to be for everyone and the Prototype game’s certainly didn’t set the charts alight back in the day, but they were decent enough distractions that could be more enjoyable on the Xbox One and PS4 – providing that the re-release isn’t just, well, a re-release for the sake of it. There has to be some substance as players have become accustomed to getting re-releases that are actually worth looking at twice – Tomb Raider, The Last of Us etc
