I am really interested in both of these game but will probably only buy one.

Any guesses on if one will probably be the better game when they come out?

I was leaning towards Prototype because of the sandbox open world stuff but then I just saw the new trailer for InFamous and it looks pretty open-worldish too.

I feel that prototype will be better for the fact that's more mature looking that inFamous. But inFamous looks like it could be good fun to, i'm still going to stick to prototype, i'm so excited

Well we can't really tell you which one will be better.I suggest waiting until both are out and see for yourself.

There have been about seven billion of these looking into any of those will give you a broad opinion. Personally I think Prototype has more going for it than InFamous.

Infamous looks more polished... Prototype looks more like a brawler, I'll be getting Prototype first.

I'm looking forward to both of them but like TC, I'm only getting one and getting the other after a price decrease. I'm leaning more towards inFamous at the moment, purely because in my country it is the cheaper of the two. Plus I can see Prototype going down in price quicker.

That's what I thought. Plus Prototype is $NZ 130, whereas inFamous will probably be available for $20 less. My decision was pretty much made for me.

Both games are pretty similar.

I'd buy the one I find personally fun to play with. You want both? Save money and buy both.

If you can't choose... do a flip coin or something. ;)

Exactly what I'm doing too. I'm just not sure which I'm getting first.

I normally hate doing this but I'm going to wait till they both come out and take a close look at each of their respective reviews to decide which one I'm going to get first.

ya i dont think prototype will be as good as everyone thinks. In inFAMOUS your powers are electric. But in prototype it seems to me that theres no theme, its just random powers.

We can't say until we see the reviews. Both will probably worth getting, but if you can only get one I would go in inFamous. People who previewed both at IGN preferred infamous thus far.

I'm not entirely sure. I like a lot of aspects from both games. I guess I will just wait for the review and see which one to buy and just wait for a price drop in the other one or rent it.

I like Prototype better just because it seems more gruesome and butt kicking. Infamous looks nice but I still remember the developer talking in an interview saying that the protagonist in Infamous will be "the most powerful hero or villain of any game ever." I am really excited to see what that looks like and plays like. The story is also more interesting.

Not just 6 months ago I would have told you with no doubt in my mind that Prototype would be the better game; despite the crappy visuals, it looked like it promised way more satisfying gameplay and the feeling of power. But with each consecutive trailer and gameplay footage my mind has done a complete 180. I'm a lot more interested in Infamous now.

Yeah - I think I'll have to make my purchase this way too. I bet the reviews for each game will refer to the other in comparison and will explicitly state which of the 2 games is better. I could rent them both but I don't want to go through the hassle. I will get Uncharted 2 so I'll get to try the InFamous beta, and then if they have a demo for Prototype I'll have gotten to try them both!

That is exactly how I feel. I think InFamous will only look better and better and Prototype will only look worse and worse leading up to their releases until it becomes a no-brainer that InFamous is the game to get!

It's to close to call. But if I had to choose one, it would be probably be Prototype.

There's a few other things that inFamous has over Prototype too: a karma system, a better storyline,developers with a better track record,it's a PS3 exclusive, it comes with the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta... but yeah, the HOME Reaper costume you get for preordering from Amazon.com is pretty good, too. :P

Honestly from what I've seen lately I'd say Infamous. It looks a lot more polished than Prototype and I think it looks a lot more focused which would lead to a more satisfying experience. I think Prototype will get repetitive pretty quickly. I've yet to see a part of the game that isn't just blowing stuff up or sneaking into a place. I think it will be fun to play but the fun won't last for very long. It just seems pretty mindless. But then again there's probably a lot I haven't seen in the game. Still I expect Infamous to be better.

You still got it wrong. You get into the Uncharted Beta when you pre-order and buy INFAMOUS at Bestbuy.

I'm going to base which one I get (first or at all) on reviews, although if the reviews are the same I think I'll go with InFamous. That said, Prototype looks fun and I'll definitely get one. It is also worth noting that if you buy InFamous the day it comes out, you get an Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta voucher.

Prototype will be better because it seems to have more action. In InFamous everything looks repetitive. However im still getting both.

You still got it wrong. You get into the Uncharted Beta when you pre-order and buy INFAMOUS at Bestbuy.

Actually, I think you can get the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta code at other major chains too - you just have to make sure you get the game the day it comes out, as there aren't supposed to be a lot of the codes and the beta begins a week after inFamous drops on May 26th... so preordering somewhereis probably a very good idea, just to be safe!

Preordering at Best Buy specifically gets you the early access to theinFamous demo as well- it allows you to start downloading the demo this Friday, instead of having to wait until May 21st like everyone else (preorders from GameCrazy get the same thing too).

I think Infamous because prototype looks like you are invincible. which can make a game really boring. It also looks like nothing will be polished because of the abundance of powers.

InFamous = Day 1 purchase and enjoy. Prototype = Wait for reviews to double check,and then rent for confirmation.

Sony usually invests in exclusives it advertises like an Icon.And InFamous seems to be doing it well.And besides that from the footages and everything.InFamous looks better because 1)It looks more polished 2)It has better graphics 3)The City seems more realistic 4)The game has perfect execution (i mean hover with electricity coming out of your hands :D) 5)And the boss fights look amazing. Not saying that prototype is bad or anything but it looks like a cheap game.I`ll wait for the reviews and double check before going for it.
