    Hey Hawkian Let me tell you something you negative A$$hole First of all spiderman is a fruit all his movies and games suck second alex mercer is a badass who kills people because he wants too third your a retard with no life and who is still a virgin if you kant look at prototype and be like damn ima own bishes at that game and just f^&* around on that game you sir are a loser and further more Spider man web of shadows is a gay game I dont know anyone who owns it Ive never seen a commercail for it so further more it blows and p.s there is nothing great about spider man thats why he is played By Tropher Grace because spider man sucks and He sucks at acting so suck it Mofo .Marvel Is better then DC But If Youve seen the Previews for Bat man Arkham Asylum Marvel Better pull there heads out of there A$$es if they wanna make a game that can compete with with these two titles

    Okay, I've been thinking about this a lot, and I am just positive that this game pilfers multiple key features, story points, and game mechanics from Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

    It is more than mere coincidence:
    -Both games begin with a flash forward showing the protagonist in an all-out warzone, and this mission explains the controls.
    -After this, both games begin in a seemingly normal open New York City, and over the course of the game the city becomes a warzone
    -The final stages of the game involve a battle between infected citizens (by symbiotes in Spider-Man) and the military including a special ops unit specially trained to combat it (S.H.I.E.L.D. in WoS, Black Watch in [P]), with the protagonist.
    -Even the upgrade points system is just like WoS; in another interview the guy says you will get experience points for completing a mission like "kill x number of this creature" which is all over the Spider-Man game

    Frankly, I'm guessing, and actually hope, that Radical just blatantly copied Treyarch and they're just cool with it. Because Treyarch isn't going to make a game with an unlicensed, brand new IP (just look at their catalogue) and fi you've played the Spidey game, it's not bad; but it's filled with moments that don't feel quite right. Black suit Spider-man has all manner of ridiculous moves with bladed tentacles flying around, and some moves that just don't seem quite right... grinding on the ground with an enemy, shooting 10 or 15 tentacles out at once... both of which Alex Mercer can do.

    I think somebody over there played Web of Shadows, and thought, "hey, we can do this better."

    this isnt a story, this is a movie. dumb dumb dumb
    ***********************************************************
    So wait... you're saying anything that's story driven is a movie? A book is a movie? Infact.. most movies start off with a bit of paper and pencil.... a book. Games start off the same way. I mean, it doesn't even make sense of what you're saying man... genius...

    this looks nuts, only problem I can see with this is some minor FPS drops. Good interview though, updated gameplay, it looks a lot better then it did a week ago.

    Posted Feb 2, 2009 9:05 pm GMT

    yeah retrospectre is kinda right about games going all out on the "grand theft auto" formula which some games make great use of, and some games fall flat. We'll just have to see how this game turns out once its completed we cant base how well this game is based on these trailers and showings.

  • azone12

    Posted Feb 2, 2009 8:15 pm GMT

    @retospectre STFU u damn infamous fanboy both games are the same separate the fact that in infamous you have powers based on electricity and in prototype you have powers that are much darker

    I LOVE PROTOTYPE but its really stupid that he actually thinks that evolving the character with points is NEW.... its NOT NEW really, but the moves are AMAZING! CANNOT WAIT

  • NobodiesheroXII

    Posted Jan 19, 2009 9:47 pm GMT

    I would be very impressed if the Spidey games didn't exist and the fact that this game is based in New York doesn't help me think they were very creative w/ what setting they chose, but cowboy hats are cool and sandbox games are always fun....while they last.

  • JaredTrotterboy

    Holy..... Lol Man this looks awsome, I always thought it was a good concept they had goin on with this but in past videos it looked like they were having trouble bringing it all together, this video just changed my opinion on that though.

    Did you see that flying back smash he did on that tank from like 100ft in the air?!? Oh and body surfing, lol that was sick...
