  • Mercer kicks Hellers ass!

  • But you can be alex right?

  • Mercer is a hero though. or at least the black light virus that changed mercer. The general was the antagonist, and the new mercer was the protagonist, after quite a few blunders. So should james heller be considered a protagonist since he is out for revenge? he looks ex blacklight from some vids, and blacklight was kinda neutral in a bad way....

  • @waldo2able

    Mercer was the protagonist. He can be viewed as both a Hero (saves the city) or a Villain (kills innocent people) depending on how you look at it. Now James is the protagonist, it doesn't matter if he's good or bad. And he's an ex-Marine, not ex-Blacklight.

  • hopefully it turns out that alex isnt the bad guy after all

  • @IGNentertainment want a Demo for ps3!!!

  • i hope they make a equipable Alex mercer skin...

  • Multiplayer Would Be Insane....

  • @TheLazyGamer77 well, multiplayer doesn't make a video game good most of the time.

  • well it looks great and all, but when it comes to an end alex BETTER FUCKING WIN!!!!! lol

    i didnt play him in the first game only to cut him down cus a guys crying over spilled blood, he got powers as a balance for his loss so his being stingy.

  • @arcangel331000

    Mercer = Crying over lost memories.

    Heller = Crying over spilled blood.

    How is Mercer any better?

  • Pleasee make a prototype movie!

    with keanu as alex :LOOOOOOOOOOOOL:

  • it would be cool if they make a prototype movie

    

  • Comment removed

  • I'm just going to disclose something that in my opinion makes heller stronger:

    Mercer infected heller with a mutated underdeveloped virus and because its mutated it evolves faster so he will start out weak and alixe could kick his ass but once heller gets strong enough....All hell with break lose as heller unleashs powers that will obliterate alex to a pulp

    But then of course some predictable twist will have mercers hand rise out of the rubble after heller walks away and then the credits go

  • I wish people would stop fucking whining about not playing as Alex. It's not gonna happen so shut the fuck up.

  • I WANNA PLAY AS FUCKING ALEX MERCER

  • Mecer is better than Heller

  • I MUST KILL.... Wait where's my script?

  • But I don't WANT to murder my maker...

  • Alex mercer = Great great grandson of Altair?

  • if games makes you violent, do monopoly makes you rich?

  • I MUST KILL......ALEX MERCER!

  • this game looks fucking savage

  • OMG, Can't wait till play it. looks really intense gameplay, the graphics and storyline... wow!

  • alex took a nuke heller aint got nothing on him

  • did alex infect him?

  • i wont do last mission. alex must live

  • i dont want alexto die D: he's so cool

  • i dont wanna fight mercer D: it would be a cool idea if there's an alternative story with alex as protagonist again c:

  • What a fucking shame.

  • 1st day buy, scratch that it's a pre-order

  • i want this game so much

  • bu mass efect 3

  • I don't care, im not killing alex hahaha

  • O.o it just me that i'm thinking alex mercer effected james heller because mercer want to be killed by heller who can stop him -_-'' or i'm just wrong..

  • I just finished prototype one so now no one can spoil the game for me since I finished it :)

  • if i buy this and i have to kill mercer im taking the disk and shoving it up hellers ass

  • @vividlord564

    But if you pull out the disc, how will you do that? The game would be off, and Heller would disappear.

  • I think its funny that so many people complain that they wont get to play as Alex Mercer. . .and yet they are gonna buy the game anyways -_- Quit complaining. . .Both of these guys are dicks. . .its just Heller has got something worth fighting for.

  • 1:02 is that the map for prototype 2 ????????

  • i hope when you beat the game youre able to play as alex also, and maybe you can buy diffrent skins for both of them, like a glowing blue powers instead of red, and when you use that new power of tentacles (not sure whats it called) they glow blue

  • I don't want to kill Alex, I want to be him do they not get that

  • it is going to be badass to see how this ends cant wait!

  • preordered already fucking cant wait

  • fuck no i want alex not a new protagonist

  • @mauritja00 theyve gone as far as they can with mercer he was a one story guy but atlkeast we get to play as him in the next one for certain segments of the game

  • @madpivoter

    That hasn't been confirmed, or even implied.

  • @Thanatos606 it actually has ive been looking it up and theres gameplay in this video where you play as him for small sections

  • @madpivoter

    There's no gameplay vids where you play as Zeus.

  • @Thanatos606 look closely in this vid you see a tiny like 2 seconds of zues attacking with his blade in a new move im assuming is part of the new combat system

  • @madpivoter

    I watched the whole vid, and I don't see it. It'd be helpful if you were more specific. Are you talking about the guy doing the spinning attack at 1:23? Because if so, you're wrong. That's still Heller.

  • @Thanatos606 dont remeber heller having a hood

  • @madpivoter but ill concede maybe we dont get to play as him but it would be an interesting mecanic if for snippets you play as mercedr or even turn into him briefly

  • @madpivoter

    2 things:

    Heller does have a hood, he just doesn't wear it.

    Pause the video when Heller stops spinning, he doesn't have the hood up.

  • @Thanatos606 too be honest it could be possible that they decide to put a multiplayer in where its a face off but to be honest i dont mind a new protagonist anyway cause mercers story is done its time for someone completely opposite to him

  • OH NO HE'S Black, -_-+ c'mon guys you really wouldn't play a game because he's not the same race as you. Now some of you say because of the story line, him being a good guy with no dark past. Understandable, but for the ones complaining on race. Think about how others feel. Most/All of my favorite games has a white guy as the protagonist and you don't see us constantly complaining about it

  • @TrueTacticia I'm not complaining about the race or the story. What I'm complaining about is the fast changing of the protagonist. Maybe if you were playing Mercer to kill this Heller guy, many people would be interested. Just another opinion. I hope I'm not offending you. Besides, I've never seen a game with my own race as the protagonist. Seen us complain, no. Or so far as I know..

  • @luisitomaster1 I have no problem with people not liking the game because of story line issues or whatever. Also you didn't offend me. I was just talking about everyone who was complaining on the fact that he was black. I'm also not complaining there's no game that have black a black protaganist [ there's a lot of games that do].

  • @crazed9920 Dana's still in Prototype 2, she just doesn't play as big a part as in the first one I think.

    For proof, Google "Prototype 2: Who Helps the Monsters" and it's the first link. I'd give you the link but YouTube won't let me. :D

  • when this game comes out if we fight mercer i am just going to let him kill me b/c i don't give a shit about heller

  • It has been quick but now i gonna make you suffer

  • for 1 its gay tht they would get us attatched to a character tht not only looks badass but is and then throw in another guy tht u play in the 2nd i honestly wish they would hav taken the plot in a different direction cause if i remember correctly alex mercer may have been a killer a monster and a terrorist (lol) but his final goal to end the infection is justified feeling evil while doing right (well kinda) best of both they nailed it with the first not so much with the 2nd 1 it seems

  • so in the first missions you're not infected in the game or what? you will be infected later?

  • @AssasiN28436

    In the first mission, you play as an uninfected Heller, or at least it's extremely likely. There's a gameplay clip showing Heller (uninfected) running through the Red Zone with his trench knife, chasing after Mercer.

  • I think they should of let you choose who you can play as between Mercer and Heller

  • @HardCOre69k

    He felt sorry for him.

  • First of all Why the fuck does Alex infects that Heller guy -.-'

  • @HardC0re69k Koz it isn't Alex, its the virus in Alex's form. Alex is dead.

  • You guys are incredibly stupid and ignorant! You're all crying because mercer isn't the main character anymore.Listen to the fucking video, the only way to finish Mercer's storyline is by making him the enemy.WHICH HE WAS ALL ALONG!! If Radical wants to add a different character then they have every right to!!!

  • prototype was good because you felt like a monster, not a man who is serving justice. they're going all wrong with this kind of revenge plot. you don't feel evil when you're in the right, Heller needs to have a dark past or rage and kill some innocent people. regardles, the plot would need to be larger and deeper to be worth buying

  • @hunted4blood what?!! heller kills and destroy half of the city brutally just to get to alex....his revenge make him a brutal killer ,.

  • @hunted4blood Who cares about the damn story? Prototype 1's story fucking blew and made little sense. I only bought it to fucking destroy people. Most people bought it to do the same and they will do just that with Prototype 2. If your that into story then this probably isnt your game. BTW you will probably feel like a monster because dont forget that Heller is sorta psychotic since he was infected and his family was murdered.

  • @hunted4blood i agree i felt the same way with no.1 i felt like i was him and that i was a hero and it felt good there are going wrong with it i agree so much that i will probley hack to be mercer again

  • @hunted4blood also i can see that alex mercer made him infected to get revenge on ho killed his family and to help mercer stop the infection but he could hav took it the wrong way and tryed to kill mercer can u see

  • @donald61398

    You...you felt like a hero when playing as Alex? There nothing "heroic" about him. The only good thing he does is save the city at the last second and save Dana. Besides those two things, he doesn't do anything for the good of others. Just for his own selfish desires. (Except when he's tricked by Karen. But he sorta negates those good intentions by murdering her. Even though she was forced to betray him.)

  • @Thanatos606 The Virus didn't make the People Suffer..Alex did...the real Alex Mercer.He's the one who broke the DEADLY VIRUS.He unleashed it.But the Virus who pretended to be Alex Mercer was trying to save the city.So when i play [PROTOTYPE] I felt like a hero in the game.I only consumed the infected ones.

  • @Emearlson123

    Trying to save the city? He didn't start trying to help until Karen tricked him. And in case you forgot, he ended up brutally murdering her. After that, nearly everything he does is for revenge or to seek out answers. He kills innocent people (in-game, he kills Marines and Blackwatch soldiers. And before you say"Blackwatch is bad", remember that the current Blackwatch's only goal is to contain infections. GenTek is the one that creates viruses) for little to no reason.

  • @Thanatos606

    I don't know man, Blackwatch are pictured in some web of intrigue as trigger happy maniacs, and I think they are financed by Gentek.

  • @ezecskornfan

    SOME members of Blackwatch are pictured as trigger happy maniacs. Just because some of them are like that, does that mean they all are? If they had someone like Captain Cross in Blackwatch, you know that there's plenty of genuinely good people in their ranks. And you can't forget that the Taggart (leader of the marines) wanted to nuke the city from the start. While Randall (leader of Blackwatch) didn't want to nuke the city at all.

  • @Thanatos606 if you didnt remember you never brutally murder karen only appear to her disguised and fade out to black after killing the blackwatch scientists -_-

  • @Swedishlemon

    She's dead. It was confirmed FOREVER ago. Read IGN's "Meet The Murderer's" article. It confirmed that Zeus murdered her in that elevator.

  • @Emearlson123

    And don't forget that nearly everything Zeus does made everything worse. If it weren't for him constantly getting in the way, the infection would have been purged in a few days. But Zeus: Freed Greene, destroyed every 'non-lethal' weapon Blackwatch created, which forced them to attempt to nuke the city in the first place.

  • @hunted4blood You just want to kill innocent people? Hmm, I've never always avoided doing that... I guess I could kill you. >:)

  • Its cool that the new Game will get new Powers and Moves, but the Problem is that you will feel alot stronger than Alex, and its not what its suppossed to be :S

  • @d3d26 Maybe you won't end up being stronger than Alex. Maybe it'll be like Alex, in the first game, had not yet seen his true strength, and Heller figured it out a bit quicker. Alex may be just as, if not more powerful than Heller in the long run. But I do agree, it felt good playing Alex, and I will miss it.

  • @hunted4blood

    I disagree completely, you don't need to be evil in a game for it to be good, I think the whole playing as a good guy/revenge angle is a good idea, but hey, if you don't like it, don't buy it.

  • @hunted4blood Um, he does have a dark past and rage, Mercer infected him and killed his family. He's not out to serve justice, he's out for revenge.

  • @hunted4blood On the right? He's dismembering citizens and racking up mass casualties, he may be going after revenge but he's no hero here.

  • @hunted4blood Trust me on this one, when I will play this game James Heller WILL BE a monster..

  • @hunted4blood You do know its prototype we're talking about? You kill innocent people all the time :P

  • @MrDutchguy5000 actually you have a choice to murder the civilians my father won the game killing only seven civilians IN THE INTIRE GAME

  • @hunted4blood Lol shit i dont care im still buying it isen't like i wasen't a hero in other games to but i fucked some people up.. Plus you should really see the new graphics with prototype2 i dont buy games based on graphics... But there REALLY good plus on top of that the new animations and kick ass. Plus my favorite of all the new power...

  • @hunted4blood You don't understand the plot of this do you? In prototype one, you were the bad guy. you killed innocent people and you had no interesting back story. this time you want revenge, after mercer killed your family. But the game is free roam, so you actually choose what to do. The plot is larger and deeper more than any free roam game ever.

  • @hunted4blood he isnt going for justice, he just wants revenge. he can still be an evil person, we dont know if he is yet. All we know is that his family is dead and he is pissed. He wants to kill Mercer know matter what.

  • @hunted4blood you dont have any idea what your talking about do you? there isnt anything "good" about heller. he has nothing to lose now, and he doesnt care who he kills. did you do any research for you even posted that comment?

  • i think mercer wants him to feel pain like he did he wants heller to get all mad to kill all black watch to get to him mercer awesome but i dont know about heller he knows tactics he needs him to get information

  • ok thanks i thouht somthing different sorry if i offended you

  • hey did anyone over look alex sister dana mercer wtf happen to her if you can make this top comment so i can read your guys thoughts on it maybe that why he turn dark nothing to help live for right

  • @crazed9920

    Dana's still alive, and based on the new pictures of her from Prototype 2, she's unharmed.

  • @crazed9920 alex figured out he wasn't actually alex so he stopped giving a shit about her

  • @crazed9920 good point, Dana probrably somehow dies in prototype so Alex goes rage on everyone.

  • @iagorockboy

    Dana's still alive. And judging by the new pictures of her, she meets Heller at some point.

  • @Thanatos606 then what do you think made Alex rage like that?

  • @iagorockboy

    No idea. But the new Prototype comic is supposed to reveal why Zeus became a true villain.

  • @crazed9920 what about the specialist captain cross

  • @hamzachilling

    He's dead. He was killed back in Prototype 1.

  • @crazed9920 find out in Prototype 2

  • @crazed9920 you know i thought about it nany times....WHO THE FUVK KNOWS?!?!?!

  • every stop being racist you stupid idiots

  • They should let you decide who to play as what if you wanna play as Alex instead

  • @GSHYNE5150

    Not really. Since either Heller's campaign would have been half as long, or the game would have taken much, much longer to be made. Besides, nobody whined about not wanting to play as Mercer back in Prototype 1.

  • mrcer infected heller because mercer wants the virus to go away he needs his help i know because why dint he kill him right there

  • @assassinsshadow70

    My only question is if that's true, why wouldn't Alex at least say so? it would make things much easier for him.

  • @assassinsshadow70 That ain't true, in fact Mercer is intending on spreading the virus beyond NYZ and he infected Heller because he thought by infecting Heller he would become his "Partner in crime" and help spread the virus but instead Heller wants revenge on Mercer since he is the cause of all the biological chaos within NYZ which resulted in the death of Heller's family

  • i dont like heller because hes black

  • @1537matt You're a racist idiot shut up and go away

  • heller is no match for mercer \m/

  • i know what wil happen in prototype 2 mercer infect heller then heller will kill mercer then in prototype 3 heller will infect another guy then that guy will kill heller then that guy will infect another guy then repeat it that is the cycle

  • its better if ther are co-op right after the fight they realise to destroy the black whatch both right

  • we racist idont hate heller because hes black the thing i hate is we been playing mercer for years and boom a random guy heller plus killing mercer fuck that plus alex is more badass than heller

  • I don't give a damn about the niggas family, I want Mercer ):<

  • @sonicnarutoTDpg Fuck you, i bet you're some little asshole white kid who lives in suburbs and is ignorant about everything else than fucking gaming and is probably is all you ever do, get a life you idiot racist nerd.

  • @Slipdax Thanks for showing me how not to react to a joke. (:

  • Fucking multicultularist propaganda. Now I have to play with this nignog? Ugh, people these days....the only cool black guy in this type of thing that rocks is Blade. Plus, killing Mercer? Fuck you Activision. Fuck you very much.

  • they should allow you to make your own guy in this game. that would be awesome!

  • Comment removed

  • The fist game was pretty bad ass...i hope this is gonna be good in off to compare to the first one at least...

  • fuck racists

  • who cares if hellers black he looks badass

  • Hey fuckers , if you paid more attention to the storyline you would know what hapened to Mercer.He is dead,but the Blacklight virus took over his body.

  • I don't understand this. How does Alex go from being an Anti-hero to becoming an all powerful villain. That just doesn't sit well with me.

    If I were to work on the Prototype series, I would make a new antagonist for this game and leave Alex as the protagonist. That's what I would do.

  • @Supersaurus4 Alex Mercer is dead , but the virus still remained in his form

  • I Like Alex not because he's white, it's because he's the original prototype, hey you can't blame a guy who lose his memories to do evil. Play the First Prototype if you do not understand.

  • @ShiranuiLoki

    Technically, he's not the original. He's only the original if you're only counting Runners created from the Blacklight virus. If you're counting Runners created by any form of the virus, Zeus is maybe...the sixth or seventh. Also, losing your memories isn't an excuse to be evil.

  • its not all alex fault black watch cornered him and smashed the vile

  • @MrSeahawk77

    It is all his fault. Blackwatch hunted him down because he'd become a security leak.

  • @MrSeahawk77 I think it goes more like : blackwatch is making biochemical weapons (blacklight virus) and Mercer thinks the world should know so he threatens to drop the vial in the metrostation where he is shot and falls onto the broken vial wich causes his body to be broken down as food for the virus and then reconstructed so it has a stronger host then the average infected (as they resemble zombies in some manner and mercer & co are just plain awesome)

  • i wouldnt want to kill alex mercer, i WANT TO BE ALEX MERCER. if i was heller, id join him

  • hello... Go back to the ending in prototype, alex survived FIREBREAK, a fucking nuclear bomb. You really think james can kill alex?! I think not!! alex is a badass no matter the way you look at it. Alex is better than heller, Alex is the prototype and nothing will change that. Alex has more fans than half of the games now-a-days. Even if he's the blacklight virus He's still the best and there's no one like him and heller won't replace alex

  • @raeven1212

    Who said Heller is going to replace Zeus? He's getting rid of him, not replacing him. Whether or not Zeus is better is up for debate, since Heller's clearly evolving faster, and not wasting his time crying about being infected, unlike Zeus. Zeus isn't THE Prototype. He's A prototype. Also, Greene can't, and never could control Zeus, since he wasn't created with a connection to the hivemind. He had to make his own connection.

  • Comment removed

  • @raeven1212

    You seem to assume that anyone that disagrees with you hates on Zeus. Not once have I hated on him, I just disagree with the type of character you hype him up to be.

  • Comment removed

  • @raeven1212

    I wasn't trying to change yours. All I did was state my opinion on what you said. And as usual, instead of making an actual reply, you insult me. That's really all you do when you're faced with someone that has a different opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • @raeven1212

    Then how's about this? You actually reply to my earlier comment instead of attacking me personally?

  • Comment removed

  • @raeven1212

    See? I've done nothing but disagree with you on one subject, and you're about to pop a blood vessel. At least I'm capable of having a discussion without throwing insults at people.

  • Comment removed

  • @raeven1212

    So yet again, you have no way to defend the point that you're making, so you decide to save face by running off. The least you could do is at make an attempt to sound like you know what you're talking about, instead of posting random "I love Alex<3" comments, insulting people when they don't agree, then running off when insults don't work. That's what children, idiots, and mindless sheep do. So...which one are you?

  • Comment removed

  • @raeven1212

    Heh...As expected, you flew off the handle. That's pathetic really. You're not smart enough to defend your point of view, and you can't handle conflict at all. That's not good.

    P.S. I know it was an insult, just to see what would happen. You insult me repeatedly, I don't mind. I insult you once, your head explodes. Either way, people like you are annoying. So I'll ignore whatever you say next and find something more fun to do.

  • @Thanatos606 He deleted all his comments -.- now I can't make fun of what he said xD

  • @feliixx

    Here's a recap: She has some sort of fangirly super crush on Alex Mercer. I disagreed with her about Mercer's abilities, she had a bitch-fit, I got bored and went off to play my 360, she raged out and deleted her comments.

  • Comment removed

  • @Thanatos606 -.-' i keep hitting wrong fucking keys ... anyhow thats what i expected xD Mercers attacks and Style regarding moving around and speed and such are awesome but i have not looked up enough to be able to tell who will be better.

  • @feliixx

    From what we've seen, Heller's powers are all around better than the powers Zeus used in Prototype 1. I'm not dumb enough to think that Zeus hasn't gotten much stronger since then. I just disagree with the whole 'Zeus is unstoppable' thing I keep seeing. He gets his ass kicked and nearly dies three times in Prototype 1, he's just lucky as hell. If Blackwatch hadn't been attempting to make a cure, Cross would have killed him in the 1st half of the game.

  • @raeven1212

    Unless Zeus was weaker than Specialist Cross. Because Cross too was infected, and as a human, his mind connected to the hivemind. And yet he could hear Greene, but was mentally strong enough to resist her. So unless your 'precious' Zeus is mentally weaker than an infected human, being controlled isn't likely.

  • OMG Heller sux, Mercer is a way better.

    Signed by obnoxious and mindless fanboy who has yet to play the game but somehow know the character enough to judge him. /sarcasm.

  • No....Alex is the best, this storyline is gonna suck.

  • why should ALEX infest James? no reason , and i don't think this is a reasonable for introduction of prototype as the starting

  • @StolenNamedOne maybe alex wanted to die just a idea

  • @StolenNamedOne you've got a good point, alex isn't stupid to infect the city. remember elizabeth greene is inside alex and she can still control him. It may not be alex whose doing this, I think its greene
