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.
Activision has announced a Collector’s Edition for the upcoming open-world slaughterfest Prototype 2. Entitled the “Blackwatch Edition”, this version of the game comes packed with the same content as the pre-order exclusive RADNET edition as well as an artbook, soundtrack CD, DLC vouchers, and a digital comic all for $79.99. Be sure to check out the trailer below for more details.
