what about this Sound Bug during Gameplay my Brother and i heard about? i read about the sound crackling during cut scenes but not during gameplay.

my housemate has that, i dont.

The game has some audio options, weirdly named latency - the readme makes it sound like its just a low/med/high on the audio.

Everyone i know who has the stuttering bug, has an nvidia card and realtek audio - i dont know which one is the cause.
 
Mussles, what's the performance like at what settings? AA? AF? NUMBERS MAN!!!! I really want the game but I don't want another GTAIV.

1080P, everything max, lags occasionally if i blow lots of shit up at the same time. and i mean lots - say, three tanks while there is 200 infected zombie people things chasing me.
 
Sounds extreme. I'll see if I can't get my dad to get me a copy, I'm broke for once :p
 
i'm Downloading it now. should run fine on my system. hope that bug doesn't come to me :(

it should run fine, you should be ok for medium on lower resolutions.
 
nah, i would think the game will run fine close to Maxed out settings. sadly the game got a bad score at IGN. the graphics they say aren't all that great. the only thing i can't turn on is AA and such.
 
Would this game rape my system?

my housemates 8800GT was lagging at 1680x1050, medium with 2x AA. 30FPS on average, but dipping below in combat.
 
well, since this is a game with a lot of stuff happening all at once on screen, i may have to turn down some settings but again i don't use AA at all and my Res. is only 1440x900
 
Ok, I've been lurking in their forums and found something very interesting. It appears that Prototype has some sort of issue with HID (Human Interface Devices)! What that means is that any input device that is used by the HID can cause some sort of problem or wired behavior. So far the fix is to disconnect that device. Yup, that means you may have to disconnect your keyboard, mouse, etc through trial and error until that problem is fixed. Hopefully, a patch isn't to far in the making...
 
this game is a lot of fun! it runs great on my vista rig (q9650/9800gtx) at 1920x1080 and 2x AA with settings maxed
 
The in-game trailers indeed look quite good.

Prototype is the most fun I've had in a sandbox type game in a long time. For me, the only other game that had me this interested (in this genre) was Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

There is a lot of attention to detail that immerses you into this game. All NPCs seem to not only interact with you but to each other. The amount of NPCs that are provided without the performance hit is nothing like GTA IV.

You can upgrade your powers but I haven't gotten that far in the game yet to know what they are.

There is also a section which allows you to reply certain memories from those that are absorbed.

Not only can you use your own powers but you can use all sorts of weapons like the m16, the grenade launcher, rocket launcher, etc (I don't think I've seen them all yet).

Right now I am playing this game at 1920x1080 with 4xAA, all other settings maxed and it's very smooth game play. However, the game does tend to dip when there are tons of moving cars and NPCs about but not to a point were the game stutters.

If you are into games like
-Crack Down
-GTA
-etc
I believe you will enjoy this game. Prototype is IMO a very good game to buy.





 
this game reminds me a lot of assassins creed. a fun,good looking and interactive hack and slash.
 
no problems here, 1680x1050 4xAA stays at 60fps unless, like mussells said, i am blowing up the entire town at once

automatically detected my 360 controller and controls are very good
 
Very similar to PS3 Infamous. Not the best game, but is funny to play, there are a lot of things to destroy :rockout:.
 
Great game! Works well on Windows 7!
 
So far the game has been very good and I have enjoyed it, I was worried since it only received about a 7.0 from IGN.com, although the game does have some fun points. I do think the graphics could have been better but when running 1080p it looks nice except the people, those graphics suck!
 
^yeah, that's the thing that killed it a little. the people aren't that great but man... when you kill them and slice them up, doesn't that just look good?

the cars, tanks, buildings, etc. look good though.
 
try using devastator attacks in a crowd of people. the gore is awesome.

+1 for games with no silly morality system.


(anyone else think it weird you can fly/wall walk into a military base, and no one care?)
 
This games looks great, I'll be playing soon to have some fun!

I have an EVGA GTX 285 2048MB 2GB, on a EP45-UD3P,XENON 3370@3.6 running windows 7127 x64. the game's resolution only goes up to 1280x800. I tried playing it but just stopped because of how terrible it tooked on my 22". I tried putting a d3d9.dll with a resolutions.ini file i have used with games before, but that didn't work either it just crashed the game.

1280x800? Horseshit.
