People have been arguing these two games for awhile now, Which is better, which is more enjoyable to play, Well let me tell you the most important reason why Infamous scored Higher then Prototype.

Prototype and Infamous are so Identical its scary, Both are sandbox games, and both have upgrades and flying around a open city. Both stories are very well done and Both have bad ass character's.

THE REASON INFAMOUS SCORED HIGHER THEN PROTOTYPE IS NOTTTT BECAUSE IT IS A BETTER GAME. IT IS BECAUSE IT WAS RELEASED BEFORE PROTOTYPE.

Its very simple and very obvious, Both are great games, but one scored higher then the other when there both in the 9.0 Category of greatness.

Everybody was thinking this, Don't lie and ignore it. Infamous had a Huge lead because It was released first.

Now you might say, your unreal man Your just a prototype Homer. Let me tell you this, I played beat both games and Both have there up's and down's,

But I do beleive they BOTH should have gotten 9.0.

Thats my Rant

Now common... how are they similar ?? the only similarity they have is that they are sandbox games. One more thing, Infamous had far more superior graphics, story, and gameplay. That's why it got a higher score. If what you are saying is true, then RE5 should get a 10.

This comes off as damage control. If reviewers didn't ever have their hands on Prototype through development, then you have a point. But most of them did. Most of them knew how the game would be before they got a finalized copy. So, I'm sure, there weren't many surprises for them. Also, we're talking a matter of days between the two, not months or years. Infamous would have been fresh enough in their heads to make a good, unbiased opinion of Prototype. Isn't it just as possible, if not more, that Infamous is just simply a slightly better game? That Infamous has a better story, better soundtrack, more of a point to side missions???? Isn't it possible that Infamous edged out Prototype because it was more well-rounded? Oh....of course not.

See thats where others will differ, I know a lot of people who think Prototype had a better story, more varied gameplay. Graphics goes to Infamous of course tho.

Both games had great stories, gameplay, You can't argue that if you played both.

They're actually pretty even. In some arenas, InFAMOUS wins, in others, Prototype. There is no clear winner. I personally enjoyed Prototype more though.

How can you compare a franchise that has a Huge fanbase with a game that has a medium fanbase?.

Both Prototype and Infamous are the FIRST in there installments.

And prototypes shoddy camera, crappy controls, spikes in difficulty among other fault had nothing to do with it.

not to say InFMOUS is perfect. but it controls A LOT better then prototype does. the worste bug in InFAMOUS is falling through the map every once in a while.

I honestly ignore scores nowadays. They can't tell you very much about the games themselves. Having played both games extensively, there isn't that large of a gap between quality of the two games. Alot of it just has to do with lighter standards on first party exclusive titles.

It's because one was an overhyped exclusive, while the other was an underhyped multiplat (by the gaming media). Chain link fences! :cry:

Im sure that's to do with it as well, But I just can't understand why Prototype was not scored on par with Infamous when the games are both Fantastic. People

that had played both and are not lieing know this.

Proto type and infamous are both First installments. So the Halo arguement vs Killzone can't be used.

As a general observation from my time playing video games. The games that I do play that are multiplatform generally tend to get lower scores than those games that I play, in the same genre, that are exclusive to a platform. We see those same type of sentiments echoed through the gaming community at large, with promising multiplatform games like Section 8, Edge of Twilight, and a few others generally going unnoticed. At the same time, there isn't anything about a game like God of War 3, besides it being exclusive and having brand name support, that would make it any better than Edge of Twilight by what we've seen. From my personal experience gaming, exclusive titles generally get more hype and higher scores as a result of it. People are anticipating them more, and that honestly plays a role in the decision making process for reviewers.

I'm honestly starting to believe this myself. I find that I get way more valuable information just from reading a thread in neogaf than I do reading most of the reviews now a days. There are few reviewers who I find give a good review that actually gives valuable info.

So you're saying that games like Tekken 6 and FFXIII will now score lower than they would have if they had been exclusive?

By far the worst damage control I have ever seen on these forums.

This is the MAIN reason!?? :lol: You mean, everything else, like Prototype's story, graphics, overall polish, gameplay, etc comes second??

:lol:


This must also mean Killzone 2 is better or equal to Halo. You are trying to change System Wars rules and it's not going to work. You also have to account for the many games that scored higher when released after a different game.


ALSO, one would think that if inFamous came first, people would find Prototype to be more fresh in a reviewers mind.

None of what you are saying makes sense unfortunately.

I can't speak for Tekken 6, but there are other reasons why Final Fantasy 13 won't score lower. I'd rather not go into a thesis about my Final Fantasy Complex among reviewers.

... Right right because reviewers are always biased in favour of FF games, I think I've heard it before.


Anyways, I just think you like to pass off your "observations" as truths because you consider yourself an important poster in SW.
But that's just my observation.

That was anunecessary personal attack. He hasn't said anything unreasonable so far so I'm confused as to why you would make such a baseless statement. And he never passed off any observations as fact. He never used "this is fact" in his critique so what are you rambling on about?

Right right because reviewers are always biased in favour of FF games, I think I've heard it before.Anyways, I just think you like to pass off your "observations" as truths because you consider yourself an important poster in SW. But that's just my observation.STRETCH-E
And my FF theory holds a lot of water, as I've gone through painstaking detail to prove. Even Final Fantasy fans agree that atleast some games in the genre have been burdened with unfair standards. But that is another thread. You're more than welcome to ignore my observations, but these are the things that I've noticed while playing games. You have to realize that reviewers are just as human as you and I. They are subject to the hype like everyone else. Exclusive titles generally garner more hype. Even games which look extremely promising generally don't get a lot of attention until after they come out and there is enough of a groundswell of support that people begin to notice. Mutliplatform titles just don't gain as much attention. That reflects in review scores.

Like SFIV? Like GTA4? Like Oblivion? Like Assassin's Creed? Like CoD4 or Fallout 3 or Dead Space or Rockband or NHL 09?

It's hard to agree with you when most of the AAAs this gen are multiplats.

Just because the games did score high doesn't mean that the games weren't subject to harsher standards than may have been used on other exlcusive titles. I mean, I personally thought Dead or Alive 4 deserved a much lower score than it did. I also thought Halo 3 wasn't that great in comparison to Call of Duty 4. Atleast score wise, I see Halo 3 and Dead or Alive 4 being subjected to lower standards than Call of Duty 4 or SF4. The same is hard to say about other games though.

Bah I think that's more of a brand name issue than exclusivity one.

Kinda like what you're saying with FF games.
