We just recieved a new gameplay video from the upcoming Radical Entertainment/Activision game, Prototype, and it's looking great. This particular video walks us through some of the new gameplay elements such as the "Adaptive Parkour" movement and the "Stealth Consume" attack... |
Adaptive Parkour is a style of movement apparently styled after a combination of Crackdown, Spider-Man, Mirror's Edge, Superman and Prince of Persia, which is awesome for an open world sandbox game like this. The main character, Alex Mercer, moves toward his objectives as if the environment was a part of him, and not an obstacle.
When he needs to rein it in and be sneaky, Alex can perform his Stealth Consume and take the form of his enemy, absorbing his memories and skills in order to infiltrate the organization that opposes him. Very cool stuff. Check out the video of Prototype in action right here:
Prototype will be available June 9 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Preorder the game at GameStop now and recieve an exclusive "Critical Hints Map" packaged in a cool biohazard tube and an Alex Mercer collectible figurine. The Critical Hints Map enables players to become the most deadly shape-shifter through the collection of critical hints sprawled across the vast expanse of New York City. Collecting and absorbing the information within these critical hints will give players a huge tactical advantage.
