Oh well, guess i will buy it when the price drops to 14.99

I should of done the same. Not my cup of tea for fifty bucks. Live and never learn I guess.

 

[Urukland]

I might pick this one up. Any experiences with Windows 7?

No problem here with rc 7100.

 

[Kursah]

a demo? for a modern game? madness. it might hurt sales.

Yep, you're dead on. The last games that released demos that I truly enjoyed were CoD4, World in Conflict and Burnout Paradise. Purchased them all and have been very content since. I've purchased a few games on hype only to be stung ( the failure called FarCry 2, I like it to an extent, but it's a failure and needs to be released to open source so modders can make things right...). It's true that hype, vids, screenshots and "good" reviews will push sales further than releasing a demo will...but those willing to release a demo in this day and age generally have a good game worth looking at. I miss the old days when everything had a demo!

This game looks interesting, but doesn't look worth 50 bucks to me...I'll wait till bargain bin season.

I wouldn't spend 50 dollars on any pc game, not because its too high, because its a pc game. IMO pc games should always cost either 29.99 or 39.99, anything higher is silly. So i just wait for a sale or wait a few months or even years before i buy a game :roll

Anyway, protoype looks good, looks like spiderman or something too.

Holy Sh*t this game is awesome! I installed an it looks amazing! I like the quick 5 minute intro to get the basics, get to sample all of the tricks. Gotta say the flying is the best so far.

I cant wait to get the open world view and level up the flying/double jump. I see there are plenty of upgrades paths available.

So do you see any improvement in the FPS

not really, also deinstalling Eastcoast´s tip killed my mouse ... hehe

 

[r9]

Runs perfect here. High settings 1920x1200 and AA. No mouse lag. Sound is OK too.

 

[ShadowFold]

I hate you all

 

[n0tiert]

I hate you all

why is that `?

 

[sapetto]

Sometimes i have mouse lag... Bug or what?

 

[r9]

why is that `?

Does not have money to buy the game. And he is bad person in general.

 

[psycotrip]

wow, still no fix for 1680x1050 resolution on a 2gb gtx 285, wow

Well, my opinion...
Technicaly wise game is fail, graphics, animations just sucks, AI is dumb as hell (i am standing with car in hands on middle of street, other drivers doesnt care, are not panicking (including the one in car i am holding), only some peeps in 20 meter radius around me are panicking). Outskirts of city consists only of green jeeps and grey vans, centre of city almost only taxi. Tank and choper models are like from 2002, in 20 people group ~3-4 are identical. they models sucks too.
BUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTT....
Gameplay... Now this is where it kicks in!!! Flying peeps, cars, tanks, mutants, blood, meat pieces, blood, BLOOODDDD!!!! I can get literaly EVERYWHERE, i can glide, i can sprint up 100 stories, i can mutate in various ways, i can hack, slice, chop, dice etc. MUAHAHHAAHHAAHA!!!

P.S.
I am not maniac... Am I?

 

[HellasVagabond]

Resolutions problem persist with GTX285 and GTX295....DAMN IT !

I tried the "Disable USB devices under the HID category" fix that's lying around some forums, and somehow my FPS increased a bit. Up from a constant average of 50fps to 60+.

Don't ask me how, it just worked. And i'm getting 80-90fps in less "busy" streets: streets where there are lots of cars and peds, but not shooting.

And I do know that hd 4870 is faster than a 8800gt... I'm just guessing not fast enough to warrant a 50fps difference. But I could be wrong.

Besides, my current 8800gt OC should close the gap between cards significantly. But then again, you probably OCed your 4870. Oh never mind...

This game is weird.

the 185.85 drivers are performance killers too... try 182.50 to see if it gets any better.

 

[Mussels]

If i wasn't for demos, half the game i own i wouldn't have bought/own. Its going to hurt sales anyway, if people buy it and find out that its crap , then return it. So either way, a demo would be nice, even tho i understand your view point also.

Oh well, guess i will buy it when the price drops to 14.99

i dunno about your country, but you cant return PC games here.

Hmm your frame rates look a little low for your 4870 X2 at 1680. Go to the subdirectory of where you Prototype is installed. Make a copy of prototypef.exe. Then rename it to AFR-FriendlyD3D.exe.

Using AFR-FriendlyD3d.exe should allow you to use both video cards in the game (if they weren't before).

Next, go into device manager and uninstall all HID-Compliant Consumer Control Device(s) under Human Interface Devices and see if frame rates improve.

Removing the HID-Compliant Consumer Control Device shouldn't stop your mouse from working. What will stop your mouse from working is USB Human Intereface Device which uses your mouse . Just check the driver info to see if your mouse name is mentioned. If your mouse stopped working all you do is unplug it then re-insert it back into the usb port.

hmm it wouldnt surprise me if crossfire doesnt work right in this game, i was getting good performance, but not as fast as i'd expect.

I'll try that trick and report back.

Loaded a save game at the same point for both tries, 1080P max AA etc.
there is a fight going on between military and infected at my save point.

Normal EXE: 37 FPS.

renamed exe: 35 FPS. no change. game also ran at 1080i and wouldnt run at 60Hz.




FYI: i also had to rename prototypeenginef.dll to AFR-FriendlyD3enginef.dll before the game would run.

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Are you guys using Cat 9.6? Cat 9.5 may have no CF profile for Prototype.

Edit: OOps, that cat 9.5 and Cat 9.6

 

[Mussels]

8.5 for me.

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Try Cat 9.6 and see what that does for you. That's what I am using atm.

i dunno about your country, but you cant return PC games here.

I think it is a worldwide law that if a product does not satisfy you then you can return it within a period of 15 days and get a refund. I know it applies for the EU for sure.

nope. you can return it for an exchange of the same product, or for a product of equal value. you CANNOT get your money back.

 

[kurosagi01]
