re: Prototype the game a sandbox title.

Not alot if it isn't its own Genre yet. Also if Prototype is good than it could be a GTA clone. Also what is GTA: Besides shooting and Riding Vehicles?

re: Prototype the game a sandbox title.

You said that it is a GTA clone because it is a sandbox game... And if Prototype is good it will make it a GTA clone... It will not make it a GTA clone, it is not a GTA clone, has this word been used so much that it has lost all meaning already? GTA clone was originally used to describe the games the were trying to copy GTA's formula, Saints Row, Driver etc... These new sandbox games are not GTA clones they are part of the Sandbox sub genre that can coexist within genre's.

Alone in the Dark 5 = Sandbox Horror
Alan Wake = Sandbox Thriller
Mercenaries 2 = Sandbox Action
Red Faction 3 = Sandbox Sci-Fi

Sandbox is a genre it is not something GTA invented and it has been around since the early 80's in some capacity, it is it's own genre and just because a game is sandbox orientated doesn't make it a clone of GTA.

re: Prototype the game a sandbox title.

That game isn't just shooting and driving vehicles though, it's more of a CrackDown clone since it has 'super powers' in it, if it was a gangland shooter game then I would call it a GTA clone.

GTA is a crime thriller with elements of every genre on the planet... GTA owes a lot to millions of other games and movies, everything is a clone of everything else, the only things that aren't clones are the ones that started it all and sandbox didn't start in 1997 and all the other elements that make GTA what it is didn't start in 1997... At the end of the day GTA clone is liberal term used by fans of the series to describe games of a same nature to it, the term often carries a more derogative slant in some peoples vocabulary... But no Prototype is not a GTA clone and GTA is more than driving and shooting.

re: Prototype the game a sandbox title.

the game looks nice but i dont want it. something about being shot at by an army and being blown up by a tank and still not dying isnt my cup of tea, id rather die from three shots to the stomach in a game, i really would.

then again i dont know anythin about the game so its probably in the storyline, but still, no for me

Uh no. Sorry. The thread title is calling the game a GTA clone, therefore the discussion about whether or not it is, quite honestly, is on topic.

By the way, NO WAY in hell is this a GTA clone. It isn't even close to GTA. GTA clones include games like Mafia, True Crime, The Getaway, Driver games and Saint's Row.

Dude, not every sandbox game is a GTA clone.

This game is no more a GTA clone than Mario Sunshine is a GTA clone. Yet, by your logic, Mario Sunshie is a GTA clone. Why? Because it is 100% completely free roam. You can go anywhere in the game, travel to other worlds and go anywhere in them. You aren't restricted from getting anywhere by artificial walls, like you are in games like Ratchet & Clank. So being a free roam game, I guess Mario Sunshine is a GTA Clone.

Hahahaha thanks for the Sandbox tutorial.

re: Prototype the game a sandbox title.

May i direct you all to the time i made this thread, thats right in January. When this forum was on its first two pages of life. I found another video of Prototype, which is why i took this out of the grave and bumped it. If you guys seriously care enough about the title when we knew shit about the game than i will change it, but i would thought you guys would understand the time difference.


EDIT: Its done and i modified my post. So now please i want to discuss the video not the GTA clone.

DOUBLE EDIT: I found another video for you all, hope you like this one, its 9 minutes long and its an interview.

re: Prototype the game a sandbox title.

Some things BESIDES the super-human abilities make that game look like a GTA clone, especially that Heli, it looks just like the Hunter and those 'Rhinos', it looks cool, specially killing a-holes in mid-air.

re: Prototype the game a sandbox title.

I love how Gamespot videos believe my birthdate doesn't meet the ESRB requirements.

Anywho, isn't this the freaky game where you can control monsters, or you ARE a monster?
