Last night on G4's X-play, Morgan Webb got the chance to talk with Radical Entertainment and get a first look at a hands-on game demo of a little game called Prototype. And knock us off the sofa with a softball bat, this game has potential.
The six minute gameplay preview showcases a 20% complete build of Prototype where they highlight the main character's morphing abilities, the crazy about of mayhem that goes on at any given moment and some serious body dismemberment. All of our previous hopes and interests pertaining to Prototype have been further solidified after watching this hands on demo as we can truly say this game has a lot going for it. Destruction on a mass scale, super human abilities, visceral moments and a little thing called online co-op makes us giddy with anticipation. Watch the embedded hands-on demo above and check out the teaser demo after the break featuring some crazy helicopter hijacking. Just think ... the build you are watching is only 20% complete!

Genetically modified Crackdown count me in..
If the can make tis game run smooth without the pop up and the ginky animations it's going to be sweet..

can someone please tell morgan to stop saying "ok" every 3 to 7 seconds?
Seriously. Just because a bunch of nerds think shes hot, doesn't mean you should be conducting interviews in regards to such an amazing looking game.
I don't see the attraction to Ms Webb anyways. Someone enlighten me as to when it became hot to have a gigantic mis-shapen mouth with skeletor's frame (ironic... one wouldn't belie the other normally).

And of Course, I have to go and be a dick about Morgan instead of actually commenting on the amazingness of this games potential... amazingness.

This game looks cool. I've been looking forward to this game for some time, and I'm glad it's coming along. : )

Looks cool. Lots of issues I see but that's to be expected from a early build. Hope between now and summer is enough time to polish that up.

meh ... then again, I suppose if you liked the superman game, you might get some enjoyment out of this

the hulk: ultimate destruction game they did has incredible phyics and open world play. the game was a lot of fun to run around and smash, crush and throw stuff. this game looks like they took that technology, add more features to it and then added incredible graphics and story. looks like a great game. hopefully they don't screw it up w/repitition and crappy missions like assassin's creed.

Yeah, this is going to be the sneak hit this year. I loved Crackdown, but it felt very cartoony. This doesn't. Hopefully it won't be as open ended as other games, so I don't get bored. I'm really looking forward to this.

I liked crackdowns cartoon effect. It made the game more real and different in a lot of ways...

I liked Crackdown's art style, and the non-linear story. Loved the game as a whole.
This game looks like it could be just as much fun as Crackdown, maybe even more.
Count me in!!!
