Sierra Spring Break 08: First Prototype gameplay footage released
April 28th, 2008 @ 15:59
After the link. No one was lying when they said it was violent. The super-mutant action game’s looking toasty smart, especially if you’re into mental fighting and consuming corpses. Go see.
Catch up on all our coverage from the Sierra Spring Break 08 even last week right here.
Hmm. Looks pretty rubbish, actually. The physics especially are super-disappointing - nothing has any weight. The guy rather pleasingly chucks the other guy 500 yards into the side of a tank, but he just pings off it like he’s made of nothing. Things fly up in the air quite nicely and then float down stupidly. Graphics appear small and fiddly. OTT gore seems ‘tagged on’ for no apparent purpose. Silly and rubbish.

Only one day until the Prototype hype.
Looks quality though. When’s it released?

Pfft. I’m still up for it.
It’s out in Q4, Axle.

It’s very gory isn’t it?

Seems so, yep. Lots of fighting and bullets.

meh/10
Disappointed by that to be honest. As Blerk says, the physics are all over the shop, and the combat system looks ripped out of Spiderman 3.
The gore looks as if it’s there purely for the sake of it, and the environment looks very poor.
I hope a fresh look will reveal more interesting things about it, but that video has really cooled my interest.

Looks as I expected it to, tbh. Was always going to be “fun” as opposed to “step forward”, imo.

Lots of fighting and bullets but no splattered brains on the side of that tank. Gore only applicable in certain circumstances.

pre-Alpha, innit.

They’d better hurry up if it’s out this year.
