Prototype Thread

Inside the base, open up the disguise menu and consume the targets from behind. If someone will see you do it, the menu will just close and you have to wait a second or two before you can open and try again.

You can start a war in there but it is infinitely more difficult.

I am not certain if I'm following which mission you're on though.

im not having a problem consuming guys. im having a problem not knowing where to go. this happens a lot with this game. not everything is marked properly.
 
When in doubt, hit escape, look at the map, and look at your objective.

Blue markers means you need to go there/stay with the target and not attack it.
Red skulls markers mean you must destroy the target (be it building or unit).
Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze are events which you can trigger.
Green markers are unranked markers.

If memory serves, story missions will only involve the blue and red variety. The red skulls will only appear on your map if they are connected to a mission. If they only appear on your mini map they are most likely tougher, optional opponents. If you are trapped in a building, assume those tougher opponents need to be killed in order to progress.
 
I have a feeling this is the kinda game where I would never do any of the missions and be amused for a few days then become very bored with not having anything to do, since I try to stay way from a game with a story through all means possible :P That's why my favorite games are TF2, L4D, GTA: IV and so on.
 
im also having trouble jumping up into helicopters. it is a pain to both tab onto a target jump and then fly in the direction without hitting any other keys when being fired upon by 3 choppers/3 tanks and a buttload of soldier.s
 
I only used the stationary helicopters (for Kill events, just "Leave" when to dialog pops up and fly away) until I got the Whipfist -> Longshot Grab power. It allows you to target a helicopter, hold the action key, and if you are close enough, will bring you to it for hijacking.
 
Check this out. Bit of extra for PS3 owners.

Despite these performance difference, the PS3 does have a one-up on both the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game. Surprisingly all debris on the ground is individually shadow-mapped in the PS3 game. This provides more depth for ground textures and creates a very impressive image for an open-world game.
 
It also doesn't run native 1920x1080 with 4x AA and 16x AF with 60+ FPS like my PC version can :nutkick:
 
no matter what version... this game will have the same failsauce ending :(.

No shit sherlock. I'm just throwing this out there for those who have the PS3 version like I. I mean I could run it with 8x AA max everything else likely, but I still got it for PS3 because I lack games for it and seems like a nice console game versus a not so good PC port. So if my previous post offend you and your game for the PC I'm sorry.

The ending wasn't bad. Basically just points out that there will probably be a sequel.

You do realize this is developer bias don't you? There is absolutely no reason why this isn't available on the PC unless it was omitted.
 
It doesn't look much different to me.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if you're able to modify some of the game files to allow this.
 
does anyone know any command line options besides "-windowed", i haven't found any way to force a custom resolution like i can in gta4, i have a gtx 285 2gb and the game doesnt allow more than a 1280x800 resolution, someone mentioned that this game only recognised 256mb of vram instead of the 2048mb that the card has. Im done talking i have to bag two thousand phone books in a thousand bags then deliver them to a thousand houses or im fired, and ive been drinking, prototype is bloooody and i love it in an unnatural way, and its a good thing, and im good enough and im smart enough and gosh darn it, me people like me
 
I'm running the game at 1680 x 1050 so you should be able to get higher than 1280 x 800.

its a bug thats been mentioned various times so far. 2GB cards are screwed until they patch the game.

Maybe try, +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050 in the shortcut target. Works for BF2 - what have you go to lose? Obviously use your res.
 
I'm searching...so far I haven't found any commandline flags.
 
ah i have a fresh install of seems to run fine dont understand why everybody complain of bugs :D

maybe the graphics in the scenes betwen the missions suck but i like the rest :)
 
There's 16,571 strings and any of them could be the commandline parameters or console parameters. I'll go through them but it will take some time...


Edit: If it is there, I can't find it. :(

Could you post those strings? It's possible others could help you out.

Also, is it possible that this game has a console line like COD? If so, how do you activate it is the real question.
 
It's pretty weird that this came out about the same time as Infamous. They're both sandbox games in NYC, both 3rd person, you have powers in both of them. If Infamous was for the PC I'd jump on it, I don't really know about Prototype.
 
Meh, I don't like Infamous very much. Prototype on PC is so much better.. I'm not very far in the story, I keep getting side tracked :laugh: I'll end up just slaughtering everyone in the area that I'm in, they JUST KEEP COMING!!!
