Prototype getting a remaster?

Prototype 2

Back when Prototype released, it was seen in comparison to inFamous. I got into Prototype and laughed at those dumb inFamous fans. Obviously, I picked the wrong franchise considering the longevity of Sucker Punch’s franchise. But maybe, just maybe, Prototype will make me happy – it looks like it might be getting a remaster, and we all know what that means…

Over on Exophase (thanks PSU), the PS4 trophies for Prototype 2 have popped up. These normally only appear if someone has actually been playing the game. It’s still just a rumor, but my interest is piqued. I have reached out to our local Activision contact person and will let you know if we receive any confirmation.

I know Prototype wasn’t the best game ever. The story was ridiculously weak and the characters were horribly developed. But, I absolutely adored playing it. To run around New York City as a crazy overpowered mutant was far too much fun. Plus, the weird DNA memory scanning thing was actually a ton of fun. It had so many cool elements, even if they didn’t all come together into a perfect game – I still got more hours out of it than I should admit. It was my perfect “come home from work and kill all the things” game.

It’s not that I’m that excited for a remaster of the game. Rather, I love the implications of it. If games in a franchise get remastered, there’s the hope that the franchise is getting put to use again. Could we see a new Prototype game on new consoles in the future? Now that would be all kinds of awesome.

Oh, and here’s our review of Prototype 2 from back in the day so you can see just how cool it was.

    Prototype 1 was awesome. Never understood the last boss though which was just some shabby hunter when you fought a giant thingy that could’ve easily been the end boss. Aside from that I really enjoyed the game. Prototype 2 was so crappy though. Hated the main character so much.

      I really liked P1. And there was so much nega-hype about P2, so I never even picked it up

      I’m in the same boat… Prototype 1 was cool and like you said, you had to kill this dude, because he’d gone done something to you and some other dude saw it happen and end boss. There were quite a few moments that I remember getting really irritated by being forced to use a gun though… Almost as if the guns were completely underpowered….

      I agree soo much first one was such a better game, the second one was a big let down barely added anything new and the story and main character were rubbish!

    Saints Row IV was pretty much a Saints Row 3 game with prototype abilities and enemies, and silly clothing.

    Face it, the only reason why you liked it was because it was in NYC

      If that’s the case she must love 90% of all action movies and games set in a city. 😛

    I there is one thing I would purchase in a New York minute (that’s 5 seconds) it’s a remaster of Red Dead Redemption. Make it so.
