Prototype Thread

i know im not judging just saying

There was a WOI mentioning the fact that in the 39 years of captivity of PARIAH there had been 5 deaths caused by "this young boy". I'm sure that's what it said....

I've not seen the WOI About them meeting though. I know it says that PARIAH shows no signs of the BLACKLIGHT infection, but his biology is interesting.

I might be getting mixed up with the one about MOTHER never aging during her captivity.

I have a feeling PARIAH is going to be the focus of a sequel.

Maybe he was under surveillance, assuming he is the PARIAH. Why would Elizabeth Green call someone "I am your mother" then?

I guess we have to wait for the next game to find out what really is PARIAH.

Because the virus that infected him was a derivative of what infected her. Is there more to it than that? I don't know.


Yeah about the sequel. I think PARIAH is the sequel...but then what about the Supreme Hunter? *GASP* The Supreme Hunter probably frees (or consumes) PARIAH in or just before the sequel takes place. The Supreme Hunter might be what Revolver Ocelot is to the Metal Gear Solid franchise (a willing side kick).


WOI isn't a bad idea but the way it is laid out is bad. The entries in the web have connections but often, they don't relate. For instance, you should be able to find one entry relating to PARIAH and all of the ones connected to it should be in some way related to PARIAH. It isn't like that at all. The connections don't seem to have any major significance other than to make it more difficult to get some bits of information that are deep in a web with only one path to unlock them (e.g. info on Hope, Idaho).

The web, as it stands now, is pretty crappy. If they reorganized it and connected the related information, it would be awesome.

do you loose points if you kill civilians? I just noticed it counted how many you kill wasnt sure if that counts against you
 
As far as I could tell, there is no consequence for killing civilians but I think you aren't rewarded either (no Evolution Points rewarded). The only civilians really worth killing are the WOI targets. Later in the game, you get awarded like 20,000 Evolution Points for a WOI target.


The counts it displays in missions during missions is bogus. It claimed I killed like 4000 mutants and there is no freakin' way that's right. The only time those figures really matter is in free roam mode. Even then, I don't think it keeps track of it so it is rather pointless (maybe an incomplete feature). If there was a rap sheet like there was in Need for Speed: Most Wanted, it would have had some value. If there is a rap sheet like that, I haven't found it.
 
i just suck up civilians to get my health up haha :laugh:

No, I tend to drive around in a tank killing anybody who gets in my way, civilian, military or infected, I've never lost any points :)
 
You might gain some, actually. Infected and military I think get you 10 EP per kill (doesn't matter how--tanks work well :roll:).

I THINK, killing civilians (or their vehicles) nets you a couple EP...
 
Hmm, gonna have to sort that out, eh? It is hard to get a civilian alone though... unless you grab, run up a building, and claw them on the roof watching the EP counter to see if it climbs in the process. :D

stealth consume. they dont have to be alone...


hell you can run through a crowd violently murdering them to eat them, and no one cares unless the army is right there.
 
Steal consume I know nets a lot more than just running up and consuming or killing someone. I think I got like 400 EP for stealth consuming a military solider (obviously not a WOI target or anything special--just thinning the crowd before I cause havoc XD).


Oh, has anyone ever used the patsy command? It's hilarous. You point at someone and say "THAT'S HIM!" then every solider in the building turns and fires... and because they are not looking at eachother, you can stealth consume soldiers that are in groups as long as you work from the outside in.

I haven't tried it outside a base yet to see if it will clear your alert bar or not. I suspect it does.

When using a military disguise bring up the disguise menu (default F), use TAB to target a military person, and then click left mouse button.

It's hilarious, I cleared the entire inside of a base using only the patsy command (and killing the last guy of course).
 
oh you need to target with tab? no wonder. i hardly ever used that.

Yeah, I only use it when I'm in a helicopter or I'm at long-range with a tank, otherwise it's just button mashing :P
 
:O It works from a helicopter? :O

I only used it twice so far. I perfer button mashing. XD

Be a real man :P hijack a heli in a group, then fight your way free :P
 
this game is amazing. cant believe my current rig can max out everything and no lag whatsoever. i guess my old 17" Acer is the reason.

anyway, awesum game. never had the kind of joy playing high end game like this before. wow

edit: 1 question, is it better to play with keyboard or controller. I just switched to controller and found it kinda awkward. I guess it takes time to get used to.

Oh, and hi everyone :)

Prototype is an incredibly easy game to run for it's age. When playing my 4870 never goes over 40% activity.

What you'll find is that the character models and MAJOR vehicles are high detail. Everything else uses low quality generic textures. Still looks good because most of the time you are zipping through the city, but stop and look and you'll see what I mean.
 
game is really straight forward and short tbh i've finished it and uninstalled it now so i can save some hard drive space
 
Just loaded it up this morn, running in the first "Free Roam" area...trying to find waypoints, did my first trial/event (eaves jumping). Took me 4 tries to get a bronze (57 seconds, almost to the silver !!! :() Enjoying it so far...We'll see how the sandbox goes...
 
I'd love to hear how this game runs if anyone's played it with rigs similar to mine (see system specs).

Would hate to buy the game and feel like I have to upgrade......
