New screens and a trailer for Prototype

Activision has dropped some new screens and a brand new trailer for Prototype, its upcoming mutant-powered destruct-o-thon. Every new screen has one thing in common: All of them are dripping with blood or some other variety of viscous goo. The trailer has its fair share of liquid life as well. Oh, and the video also features someone taking out a helicopter by throwing a person at it (that seems familiar somehow). See the glorious, gory action after the break and check out the new screens in the gallery below.

If all that's not enough for you, you can also check out a new preview at IGN.

I swear, the ads on IGN get worse each year...

yea i gave up on them once and for all after they made watching a video so painstakingly difficult

Nice caption, Richard!

Have you guys ever thought of running a caption competition instead of random drawings for Fanswags?

This reminds me of Assassin's Creed.

I am so with you on that one, i was thinking about the parkour elements of AC and how if you could do half the things this dude does in AC, that would be so awesome. Plus im playing AC right now.

Assassin's Creed? Are you serious? Reminds me of Crackdown.

I'm not really sure what people find so appealing about this game. It doesn't look much better than a glorified Hulk game from 3 years ago. The graphics just feel weak in everything I've seen so far.

Seriously, what is the appeal?

PP @ Jan 8th 2009 5:36PM

Well to me personally graphicsisn't nearly the most important aspect of a game. I'm not an expert on any level, but the graphics in this game looks good to me.

Banjoo Kazooi had great graphics, but if a had to choose between driving some weird car, and elbow dropping a tank to smash it, run up walls and glide down through the streets of new york, I definitely know what I'd pick.

Funny you should mention... Radical Entertainment developed the Hulk game that came out in 2005.

As for the appeal though? It's their own IP so they're not restricted in regards to what they do to the city, characters, etc... The gameplay also looks quite a bit smoother than either of the hulk games had... but honestly? I am curious myself, but Radical Entertainment isn't exactly a totally trustworthy developer, and Activision is most certainly not a trustworthy publisher... so who knows? At least it's not yet another generic first person shooter...
