Just when I thought I couldn’t be more excited for Prototype 2 they go and release a trailer that tells me I can control my own pack of huge, angry, mutated puppies. Yes, I know they aren’t actually puppies, but they just look so cute destroying everything, throwing cars at helicopters and then exploding into a mass of horrifying tentacles that annihilate my enemies. That’s what puppies do…right? httpv://youtu.be/-pC9kjuwe4U
So…wow, this is pretty cool. In this trailer you get to see a nice chunk of James Heller’s backstory; mainly how he came home to find his life in ruins and was subsequently infected by former protagonist anti-hero Alex Mercer. It’s also got a pretty good song choice with Johnny Cash’s famous rendition of Hurt, though I can’t help but feel that Trent Reznor’s original version of the track would have gone better with the style and tone of the game itself. Anyways, it’s pretty goddamn awesome, so take a look.
In a new trailer from Activision and Radical Entertainment, we get to see more of new protagonist James Heller and his ability to rip weapons off vehicles for his own personal use. It’s an interesting idea, giving you the option to just yank a chain gun off the top of tank if you’d like a little extra firepower without jumping inside and slowing yourself down. We’ll have to see how well the mechanic works on April 24th when Prototype 2 hits store shelves. httpv://youtu.be/XyXEHNsjvGg
