  • INFAMOUS

    

  • both games are great, but I hate it how devs dumbs down the gore and swearing on ps3 exclusives. But that's just me.

  • Prototype vs infamous 1=prototype wins

    Prototype vs infamous 2=idk I think its a tie

    Prototype 2 vs infamous 2=prototype I hope

  • I thought Infamous was the worst game ever for a couple years now. I just played the Infamous 1 and 2 demo (INFAMOUS 2 IS AMAZING, BETTER THAN THE FIRST) and thought "Holy shit". I played Prototype on my 360 for those couple years and beat the game with EVER upgrade available. I had ridiculous amounts of fun in the game but when I played the Infamous 1 and 2 demos, I died and went to heaven. "Nuff' said" - Stereotypical black guy quote

  • any one in the right mind would pick infamous over prototype. it has a MUCH betr story and MUCH better grafics. the only reson i can see any one chooseing prototype is the simple fact that there Xbox fans are jelous that infamous is a ps3 only game.

  • Prototype

  • Just saying, Cole VS. Alex, Alex would win

  • Prototype FTW

  • And the graphics... I liked the art style of Prototype over Infamous as well.

  • Prototype was a big win over Infamous for me, and yes, I own and play both. There is more of a variety of characters in Prototype, you can be whoever you want, and who doesn't love being able to scale a building just by running up it, and "flying" over people. Also, the number of special moves you can pick up in Prototype is downright staggering. Infamous has gangsters in red hoods and lightening... hmm... Maybe the story was better, but if I'm looking for a real story, I'll watch a movie.

  • I have ps3 with infamous connected to my LCD TV, but I NEVER play it, because it is boring as hell... I am not a fanboy, I have both games, but prototype is just much better, with more tricks, powers,... etc

  • i bet after the video they totally maked out

  • Infamous: A game with a unforgettable story of a man who just blew up an entire city by accident and gaining superpowers in the process. You can use your electrical powers to save the people or destroy them. You also try to make up with your girlfriend who later on dies by the hands of you from an alter-dimension, who later on dies by you( so basically suicide).

    Prototype: Hurp derp i likee duh throw people/tank/more people/ off of buildings.

  • @Weitofumiso2 you havent finished/played prototype have you?

  • @nar4tt Played it, yes. Finished it, no. Coudn't bring myself to play that game when I have infamous.

  • @Weitofumiso2 aw, it was right the opposite for me... well maybe you prefer the story over the action, I dont =)

  • Infamous vs Prototype ... Chuck Norris wins !

  • i have infamous but its very boring too boring...[Prototype] is much better and have more action

  • Prototype vs inFamous

    Winner:Spiderman Web of Shadows

  • So he doesn't play games for gameplay, he plays games for stories and characters. Watch a movie or read a book. You don't watch a movie specifically just for how it looks, or read a book specifically because the words are printed in gold looking ink. Meh,

  • Mercer FTW <3 ... but inFamous2 is best 'Ps3 Exclusive Game' in SinglePlayer.. PROTOTYPE is tehBest!!

  • lmao "i think your putting too much infa.. i mean emphasis on infamous."

  • Infamous is one of those games that I can't even begin to express my love for. In MY OPINION (I know people are going to whine at me about uncharted 2) but I think Infamous is the best single player PS3 exclusive. Anyone who thinks the gameplay is boring either didn't play the game, under the age of 13, or a kid that thinks the transformers movies are amazing. Right now, Red Dead Redemption and this game are fighting for my favorite SP game on the PS3.

  • I got both on the same day, and played both one after the other. I was surprised as the erie similarities of the both games I pcked randomly at Gamestop. And now I find out that these two games are freaking rivals of one another. What are the odds... Anyways, both have cool storylines, awesome powers, amazing free-roam abilities, but even though Prototype has a lot more action, I find Infamous was a lot more original with the physics of electricity and the karma system.

  • Cole FTW cuz infamous has better gameplay, storyline and the karma balance puts it way ahead of prototype aswell as the graphics and the UGC adds an extended experience by being able to play custom missions and storylines.

  • I dunno prototype had better gameplay,But tha graphics were like for the ps2.imfamous has ok graphics but it was a boring setting.....I'm gonna go wit prototype.

  • Infamous 1 & 2 have boring and depressing enviroments. :( Prototype was ok but the graphics SUCK! Prototype 2 will be perfect (i hope) :)

  • infamous all the waaaay! idc if u think im stupid, but if ANYONE has information on infamous3, pleeeaaase tell me

  • Prototype graphics are like for ps2.

  • Prototype is better than infamous. Argument over.

  • Prototype is better, I have played both. The reason prototype win is simple you can do sooooo much more than u can in infamous. You have multiple powers and the story has a lot of holes because its a set up for the second one when you play that is the storyline kill to get your memory back then kill who made u who u are. Turns out its you and that's where heller comes in.

  • Well I havent played infamous, but I saw my frined playing it many times... It is VERY boring to watch and those superpowers are getting lame -.-

    I dont think that story is really interesting, well both games have horrible stories, but in Prototype is gameplay fun atleast

  • I like Infamous better than Prototype. But infamous 2 was horrible. It's frozen 3 times on me. 2 in one day and 1 today.

  • didnt prototype get 7 and infamous got 9.3

  • inFamous wins round 1, now lets see who will win round 2. inFamous 2 vs Prototype 2!!!

  • @megarock327 Not sure if infamous won this

  • @TheDickt8r FUCK INFAMOUS PROTOTYPE IS AWESOME

  • InFamous is the better game! SCREW PROTOTYPE!!!!!

  • prototype is the same as web of shadow.Boring!!!!!!!

  • U guys are unfair prototype vs infamous 2?and u guys say INFAMOUS 2 is better? C'mon infamous better their mistakes but proto haven't next year will be a big year prototype 2 and infamous 2 will get owned

  • Prototype is better cuz its a challange where infamous 2 it was easy including the boss fights.

  • Bioshock won.

  • In Prototype vs Infamous Alex wins

    In Prototype vs Infamous 2 Cole wins

  • @H44classvsBismark prototype 2 vs infamous 2 alex wins -_-

  • @shadowdevilwolf13 wrong alex isnt the main character in prototype 2 so cole still wins

  • Prototype look so bad

  • Personal preference 

  • prototype

  • Infamous Awsome!!

  • I played both, didn't like either.

  • Im sorry but really??? Shooting lightning??? That got boring after i watched star wars. It will never be cool again. Being able to shapeshift and turn yourself into a brutal and deadly weapon? Kinda takes the cake.

  • Infamous is more deep in the story and takes skill,prototype has a shit story but bloody,wreck less gameplay,I prefer infamous

  • prototype all da way

  • look at the ign infamous review and the ign prototype review

    i think u'll find infamous is better

  • Infamous ftw!!

  • Infamous is better.

    Prototype was just and ambitious attempt of ripping off the idea.

    Also, I prefer to shoot lightning.

  • prototype by far

  • infamous 2 is boring '.'

  • im just amazed because i dont know what would happen, alex is stronger and faster but cole can fight from far away imnot sure what would happen

  • Infamous all the way!!!! I used to have only a 360 and only could play prototype.I was super disappointed by that game cuz the controls sucked and the graphics were awful.Just everything about that game sucked and I didn't even finish it cuz it was such a mess.I recently got a ps3 and got infamous as a free game and I gotta say that I loved every minute of it. It was such a fun game with great gameplay and a interesting story.I have no intention of buying prototype 2 becuz it has no shot agains

  • Prototype: run up walls

    inFAMOUS: wait forever to climb up them

    Prototype wins

    Nuff said

  • I know a lot of Infamous fans who arent super hero nerds

  • @83top yeah exactly i hate people who judge others on there looks like every1 calls me a thug n shit and i may do what i want during the day chillin with girls or friends and when i get home im playing infamous or one of my other favorite games i wanna try prototype never heard of it before

  • forget grude matches sucker punch and those guys who made prototype make one super awesome game

  • infamous for the PS3 which i dont fucking have! Protoype MULTIPLATFORM!

  • @Hfajardo97 ok for 1 alex has a Strong ass Defense in shield and armour mode,2 alex has his tendrills which means he has a long range attack,3 alex is gonna have a huge advantage with speed being able to glide and wall run,and force most objects out of his way and also the adrenaline mode.Cole would be Consumed.

  • infamous prototype is just broken well the graphics anyway

  • prototype..

  • Cole has ice and fire powers too! and cole can beat up Alex and with a help from nix and kuo! Or cole is the beast and kick his butt :)!! And one Freeze grenade or rocket........Alex is frozen to slobby Joe .... O.O

  • @YourChickMagent listen , cole Lonic Drain can drain him ( taking his spirits ) and cole has an unbreakable shield! When he uses the Devastator cole well shield the hell out of it! Or dodge! Cole is so good at dodging ! Here is a pro-tip : Infamous : gameplay, story,graphics and power play!

    Prototype : one thing , kill people along the way...... all ppl say infamous is the best!

  • Thumbs Up for Alex Mercer to Win Against Cole.

  • @Hfajardo97 Yeah but Think of Alex's Agility and if his health goes to low he can use a devastator.

  • @YourChickMagent Cole can use any of his ionic powers to kill Mercer almost instantly. Cole can also put up a shield and with every hit he becomes more powerful. If all else fails Cole can just dodge or blast Mercer away and then drain him.

  • Story wise Infamous is a lot stronger. Prototype I felt a little lost and Mercer didn't question a lot of his actions or motives. Cole is a more believable character Alex felt a little hollow. Very rarely you will see Alex express emotion. In Infamous you clearly know your motive. Both characters are cool in their own way. Cole is more witty the talk from the start of Infamous is interesting and has tasteful humour. Alex is more of a deadly serious don't cross my path kinda thing.

  • @deadandliving Cole is better in every way. He can also go around killing EVERYONE! That is what i like. You have a choice in and it affects the game. Infamous in general is a far superior game.

  • @Hfajardo97 I do agree. The is way more I like about Infamous. Better character more engaging story. Prototype's cut scenes were pretty much boring not a lot happened in them. From what I played I didn't learn a lot about Mercer's back story. From trailers from Infamous it tell's you about Cole. You are always learning about his personality how he ticks and his back ground.

    I'm not saying Prototype is a bad game. I think it just needs a lot more work on gameplay and story.

  • I've played both. Prototype is good but being over powered takes away a lot of the challenge and it gets boring quite quickly.

    Infamous is good. I prefer the effort of climbing building while that unaware reaper thinks his alone. The wall running in prototype is cool and the amazing heights you can reach in a single jump is cool. I do wish Mercer was less powerful from the start though.

    But in my opinion Infamous is the better game and suited more to my genre and style of gameplay.

  • well infamous when it come to graphics and story but prototype for gameplay

  • I like both but at the end of the day I have to say prototype. For me a sandbox game (With the exclusion of the Elder scrolls series) is about having a load of power running around and blowing shit up. Prototype delivers this sense of power while Infamous which does do a good job feels a bit lacking. Though I will admit the Infamous story kicks the shit out of the Prototype story.

  • (Infamous For Story,Prototype for Awesomeness)The Infamous Game is Probably the better game but if it was Cole MacGrath vs Alex Mercer? Alex would win hands down I mean C'mon with the Devastator its over.

  • @YourChickMagent maibe,but cole from infamous 2,no.

  • @YourChickMagent Cole in Infamous 2 would kill Mercer dude. In the first game he was lacking in any area other than middle range though.

  • Prototype hands down

  • infamous: shooting electro bolts and gliding wel thats pretty much it

    prototype: getting amazing powers trowing cars at helikopters trow sombody of the building dsmash into the ground an huge spikes apear kiling everybody in 30 feet

    conclusion : infamous is fun when you are bored

    prototype is always fun

  • @lukoaap1996 amazing power:throwing peoples like an idiot,have an armour made of alien shit,and weapons too.

    And prototype,for like,it kinda nice,but its to confusing,ex:

    "Now im investigating some dude,then police notices,start shooting me for no reason,i suck people to my body,then helicpter comes,and then trys to kill me,but the police guards are also tryng."

    Too confusing,i rather play a smooth game,which i can chose of being a loser bad guy,or an awesome hero,with super power,ye infamous;I

  • grudge match

    GOW 3 vs GOW 3

  • Prototype!!!!

  • Question to the guy who requires story in videogames... did you skip the NES and SNES era?

  • Wtf? inFamous is OVER 9,000 times better than prototype

  • CRACKDOWN!!!!

  • Prototypes & Infamous are both cool ideas & I love the cartoon style superheros etc, BUT Infamous will end up being Famous for doing it better!

  • Infamous has a better story-line, but prototype is still much better.

  • Infamous: Zap zap zap dying......zooooooOOOM recharged! zap zap zap zap

    Prototype: BOOOM!!! slice slice swing! VROOOOOOOOOM *stop* "whoa who picked up my car? Whoa why am I thirty feet into the air?" Stab nom nom nom disguise "Sargent! When could you run up walls?" "Since shut the fuck up!" "Yes Sir!" Disembowel. Jump WEEEEEE! FLY WEEEEEEEE! RUN WEEEEEEE! Different enemies without guns! WEEEE!!!!!!!! "GIVE ME BACK MY SISTER!" Train tracks? FUCK NO! HELICOPTERS! TANKS! SURF MUTANTS! SHORYUKEN!!!

  • @VyseTheRegicide Prototype : Slash kick jump shyt throw cars

    Infamous : ZAP ZAP ZAP throw huge fucking energy ball at giant monster absorb energy from militias and fly as a bat *ELECTRO CHARGE* backflip and fcking electro stomp the ground "Thats a big ass fiddle" BLAAARRGHHH become the beast and destroy the world

  • Infamous has a better story-line, but have to say PROTOTYPE Because it has more action witch (in my opinion) is the best thing in a game.

  • i own an xbox 360 and i have onlu played prototype on it .Not infamous.Infamous is better.When i will buy a ps3 first i will but uc3 tnen killzone and then infamous.BTW crackdown beats both

  • Both good :)

  • nigga tries to bring crackdown

    

  • imo definitely PROTOTYPE. Why? Because I love fast paced action. You can fly and get to you're objective sooo fast and also it's way more fun to free roam because there is less restriction. and it's far less buggier

    BUT~ I have to give it to infamous for having a WAY better story-line and showing it from both an evil and good perspective. Props,that's why I've played it 3 times over. kept me waiting for part 2. not to mention how much more realistic the graphics were. But still Prototype won.

  • Prototype

  • Prototype. I would rather slice my way through a bunch of people then shooting 100 electric bolts to blow up a car. Then having to recharge my batteries every few minutes.

  • @Nickception did u get that form the ign review ? ;P

  • @SuperMicklovin I did not.

  • @Nickception oh. i heard something similar thats all

  • @SuperMicklovin I saw a comment like this a while back. My apologies.

  • @Nickception oh its okay

  • inFamous

  • inFamous is a fun game with good dialogue and story. Prototype is fun, but has a poor, non creative, and muddled storyline. Prototype is also known for its embarrassingly cheesy one liners written to make Alex seem bad-ass, but does the exact opposite. In short, inFamous is more for those who are into story complexity, and Prototype is more for the middle schooler and fraternity boy crowd.

  • infamous all the way ass wipes

  • PROTOTYPE FOREVER!!!!!!!

  • INFAMOUS is way better than Prototype

    Prototype sucks dick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I REALLY WANNA SEE ALEX MERCER FACE OFF AGINST COLE!! EPIC!

  • prototype the best

    

  • At least Alex can swim. Cole is such a girl, can't even get wet

  • protype=gays infamous=guys

  • gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooo infamous :D

  • If Sucker Punch and Radical entertainment were allowed to work together for one game, they should Make a game with both of these characters and have co op as well.

  • Dragox55 i fully agree but in death battle i thing prototype will win but as a game i think infamas

  • Just got Prototype last night

    As a whole, inFamous takes it for me

  • we need to settle this with a death battle

  • infamous, better graphics, an ingaging story, and replayability, plus i got it free

  • @thatguyudontagrewith i agree my man 

  • @thatguyudontagrewith HAHAHHAhhahah

  • I have to say Infamous :)

  • Infamous guy: Infamous has a great story, you really feel like you are the character, prototype is just just the same thing over and over again, you could hold down one button and run over everything, its just an action game, Infamous is so much more.

    Prototype guy: Who cares about the story, in Prototype you could kill people and run on walls,

    Great arguments, but InFamous is a much better game...

  • @MrBajskuk no its not...prototype is the very game i miss so much...but i never missed inFamous...

  • That's a good idea we can the government try and use that bomb to blow up Alex but instead they make Cole. And then the FBI agent can tell Cole that Alex was the "Terrorist" who put the bomb in the package and say you have to kill him to get out .

  • Prototype to me is a better game. And yes I got infamous before I got prototype and now when play infamous sure the story great but for it has no replay value it's so boring and the game play and graphics can't even compare to prototype.

  • @starwarsgeek4ever graphics can be compared infamous has better graphics

  • @andyscotger ever see the opening to prototype......

  • @starwarsgeek4ever yea bad graphics

  • IGN - Please bring back these  'Grudge Matches'!!!!!!!!

    ex: Gears of War 3 v Modern Warfare 3 :)

  • @MortalGears We all know gears would win :)

  • infamous is better

  • inFAMOUS Ftw!!!

  • crackdown is best.

  • (cont) awesome. Although Alex would beat Cole in a fight, infamous is hands down the better game.

  • Anyone saying Cole would beat Alex in a fight is just... Wrong... Alex would run up a wall faster than Cole could aim at him and do some massively overpowered bullet dive and kill Cole... But that doesn't change the fact that infamous is a better game. Even though Alex is stronger, playing as Cole is more fun than playing as Alex. The story in infamous is better (btw, the reviewer saying story doesn't matter should go die in a hole) the characters are more likable, and the karma choices are awe

  • "Who cares if it's a good story?????" SOMEBODY dismiss that guy from the IGN board ASAP -_-

  • @bradnstar And so he was never heard from again...

  • uk whats weird alex can kill any human in 1 hit so how he ddint kill the first boss in 1 hit ik his a mob but come on every1 noticed something is weird that he didnt die in the first punch

  • i cant choose infamous got electricity+ice+fire (in infamous2)and alex got some brute str i say i have no idea

  • Crackdown ftw

  • Infamous for me overall its better from the story to gameplay

  • both epic ok

  • I'd rather have limited gameplay than unlimited gameplay.

    Infamous.

  • Scene 1:

    Man- wtf......its a blackout......Cole must have sneezed....!!!

    Scene 2:

    Man- wtf......people's guts are flying high......Alex Mercer must have sneezed.....!!!

  • anyone who finds infamous boring has no soul.

  • 1 good thing about prototype you can pick things up and throw them 1 good thing about infamous everything

  • LOL @ 3 pages of replying to trolologuy XD

    Infamous fanboys are reaaaaly overacting like saying cole goes into beast or something and then pwns all but all problems are solved when alex and cole go into one guy or work together. If they were one guy then they could walk on water and destroy everything, now THAT is immortal =D (THIS IS MY OPINION, DONT START FLAMING ON ME)

  • Obviously Infamous <3

  • where I agree with Greg that inFamous is better the story doesn't really matter to me becuase if you have a say action game (like Prototype) with a bad story and good or great action it can still be a good game but if you have an action game with a good or great story but shit action it will be crap and fall flat on its face so all I'm saying is the story doesn't matter in some cases

  • alex can hijack tanks and helicopters and blow cole up

  • alex can stab impale slice blow up or throw something at coles head what is electrical powers to a man who can turn into any weapon?

  • infamous got less power and prototype had bunch of powers so prototype owns infamous

  • I agree with the top comment guy, put the two games together......make both characters fight each other at first, then make them partner up later on.....maybe call the game The Infamous Prototype(s)?

  • wish that Infamous was for xbox...

  • prototype is the best

  • prototype FTW

  • infamous wins. reason #1 cole can float AND fight at the same time alex cant

    #2 cole can fight mostly at long rang and has some short rang weapons. #3 when cole gets alex down on the ground he will BIO LEECH that boy and kill him! INFAMOUS IS GREATEST PROTOTYPE SUUCKS!!!!

  • @YumSoggyWafflez I like Infamous better but your reasons just suck....

  • Besides in Prototype 2 you gotta kill Alex mercer anyways.

  • Can we stop arguring about whos better and start talkin about what if they worked TOGETHER? If you good at the end of the game you have to kill alex if your bad you stay with Alex and wreak havoc!

  • Just look at the sales. inFamous>Prototype

  • lol i swear the minute prototype 2 comes out even if they put both the games together this'll bring heller alex cole ( either nix kuo zeke or the beast or ustralian ice dudes) into this whole argument

  • lol i swear the minute prototype 2 comes out even if they put both the games together this'll bring heller alex cole ( either nix kuo zeke or the beast or ustralian ice dudes)

  • @s0ulunion * spoilers *also the RFI took the powers away but if that didnt happen he would still live and i didnt say he was exactly immortal

  • @s0ulunion i beat the game 50 times and remember almost every cutscene

  • if your talking about he charactar then your a retared

    ooh look a charactar who can survive 10 bullets haha!

    ooh look prince of persia forgotten sands rewind time ya da ya da

    its just like superman vs hulk again

    ANYONE CAN MAKE A CHARACTAR STRONG OH LOOK I MADE A CHARACTAR WHO CANT DIE OMG AWSOME CHARACTAR PFF THAT CHARACTAR CANT DO SOMETHING BECAUSE HE IS LESS AWSEOME

    its about gameplay + fun infamous wins

  • @s0ulunion he's not exactly dead from a theory

    cole got struck by lighting which made him alive

    you saw the question mark at the end in electricity didn't you?

  • INFAMOUS!!! from a person who played both over 3 times and knows EVERYTHING about them. it not about the protagonist but about the gameplay and story

    

  • Oh and the thing is that the prototype is the only bloody game that doesn't make me throw up. Other games really made me throw up. I don't know why. Infamous? I haven't played it yet...

  • virus vs electricity. Lol

  • I personally prefer prototype cause ummm high jump kick a helicopter.

  • infamous NO DOUBT

  • its Infamous vs prototype they are talking about the gameplay so stop comparing whos gonna win..play both game and see for yourself

  • Just create a game called InfaType or Profamous or whatever then pu cole and alex at the game then make them fight the infected and make the game has coop so you could play alex or cole then END THE FIGHTS its an awesome idea though :D
