Unexpected Delay Puts Prototype Back in Action
What was supposed to be one of the biggest free-roaming action titles of 2008 became unexpectedly delayed at the last minute. Radical’s anti-hero game, Prototype, had garnered negative reactions from gamers and the press alike when near-finalized gameplay was shown. Because of this, as well as the merger between Activision and Blizzard, the game was ultimately pushed back into 2009.Now, just months before its new release date, the team over at Radical is ready to prove that they put their extra development time to good use. The game is fully polished, and the team’s goals were pulled back into something more focused and manageable. This is what executive producer Tim Bennison had to say:
“The extra dev time from last year really was a chance for us to polish, tweak and refine the missions and gameplay mechanics. The original vision for the game was huge, perhaps a little too huge, so the extra time in development has let us realize that vision.
We’re really excited to launch Prototype in June – it’s certainly been a big project for the entire company here at Radical.”
Stay posted for more info on this game, as well as how it compares to upcoming rival inFamous.

The only thing that sucks is this will go head to head with infamous now.
@Richard Allen:
Seriously… I can already hear the trolls calling it an “Infamous” bootleg.
The game could be cool, but I’m not holding any high expectations.
From everything I’ve seen, it looks like The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction with a new coat of paint, which isn’t a completely bad thing considering Radical made it and it was fun, but it just seems that the main character isn’t very likable at all. I’m a lot more excited for inFAMOUS.
The game looks interesting, I will wait before to buy.
its a bootleg of infamous !
This is very interesting. Taking a quick glance at Prototype and inFamous, I would have thought they were the same game.
this game looks great to me.
@Proteus1202
I have to agree the character looks too dark and unlikable thus being unrelatable.
I’m not sure about this one either, looks too dodgy and outlandish, maybe.
this does look like a dark game. i cant tell if its going to be a good game but it does look like its going to be a lot of fun.
I would like to see more on the story before I make my decision on Prototype
@Shadowjn:
Only took you six hours!
