Crack down is to grand theft auto as prototype is to assassins creed. When developers ONLY talk about story and not about the technical aspect of the game, it scares me. Also the whole "we put masks on them to make them creepy" bullshit has to end. just tell us "we didn't want to make 300 different faces to make all the characters unique so we just put generic masks on them".

I want know know draw distances, frame rates, will it have multi player, how long will it be, will there be multiple routes, is it free roaming, will there be sex, important facts, not story fluff....

also, what the hell is up with interviews of these geeks when they use that stupid "cool" shot of them in a dark hall.

I predict this game will be meh

As a developer who specializes in open world games (har har!) I find this kind of game really appealing, but I hate the rather idiotic promotionalism that goes into little marketing/PR segments like this. This isn't very honest towards average gamers. And in general with Prototype, i've seen way too many prerendered video segments, too many staged 'screenshots' (same as UT3, a bad trend in our industry), too many concept art pieces. Yes, I get that its a big expensive effort with 100+ developers producing very polished stuff... but where is the actual game?

The commentary from the team is pretty overwrought, geez. I have a feeling all of this background and story that goes "farther than any game has gone before" or whatever is going to end up being pretty standard video game stuff--I didn't really see anything that suggests otherwise--but the game itself could be interesting.

"We do not allow any restraints of 3D to hinder any creativity in this room"

lol... can you be any more pretentious?? Seriously, you're a game developer, you live in a world of technical restraints - memory, GPU, CPU, cache, latencies... these are restraints, which means you'll always be dealing with trade-off's. Too many polygons on screen? Cut them down! Too many animating characters at once, get rid of some! AI taking too much CPU? Opitimize and simplify! My friend, almost every second of your life is spent fighting against these restraints.

The programmers there at Radical must be secretly crying inside for this guy to say some BS like this.

Still very interested in this game, especially if it has coop like I believe the website says it does. This interview was pretty disappointing and a little pretentious though.

I actually kind of like these types of advertisements. The well shot and edited interviews, the attempt at some sort creativity... I think EA did this with their Bad Company adverts. It sure beats those interviews of the developers "in their natural habitat" under their horrid fluorescents talking about their game in a monotone drone.

It may seem a bit pretentious, but it's still better than the "old" way of doing these types of interviews.

Their character designs and names in no way remind me of the Overwatch from Halflife, not in one way in the least....

Though I am sure that would have made a less interesting clip ... "We played Half Life 2 and said let's make that guy in our game."

Hmmm, they should spend more time working on games instead of making student films.

I like how when they talk about how intimidating their character designs are (pulled lessons from the nazis!!1) they show a picture of one that looks generic. The tiny google eyes make it look like an infant.

The video was kind of campy and these guys think a bit highly of themselves, clearly, but I'm incredibly excited for this game. It reminds me of a really dark, hopefully-has-an-actual-story Crackdown.
