For those wanting to know why Alex is the hero in Protytpe 1 but suddenly the villain in Prototype 2: The Prototype 2 comics came out in between the Prototype 1 and 2 games and it depicts how Alex went from good guy to bad guy. Apparently the game devs expected everyone to read the comic so they kinda didn't bother showing it in the Prototype 2 game. Long story short: after the events of Prototype, Alex travels the world trying to find out where he fits in, considering he's not exactly human anymore. During his travels, he witnesses how corrupt the human race is and he basically gets disgusted and loses faith in humanity as a whole. (Tons of stuff happen in the comic, this is just a really general summary.) So Alex turns "evil" in the sense that he wants to make something better than the human race because humans have gone too far to be saved. If you think about it, he's kinda a hero but in a more Thanos way.
alex was never the hero or the good guy, in the first game he already had evil tropes like consuming his ex and cross saying something about there being no more leaders which implys infected leaders but then mercer says 'except me'
imo the comic fucks up mercer in which the first game was already setting up for the 2nd game and shouldve been different than the comic that was given for the explanation of mercer being evil in the 2nd game.
I like how it was explained in this mission yet these two people think it makes you part immortal or makes them evolved when the people that get infected die the virus replaces them Alex Mercer died when he was infected and the thing pretending to be Alex Mercer killed Heller when he infected him it doesn't make you immortal it kills you and shoves something else in
@@ez5324 Really man Mercer is the Backlight Virus If you remember from the first game All the bosses you fought in game he consumes them in the end Mercer had those powers for a much longer time than Heller This is just a theory Only way Heller won is the Virus which was in physical manifestation as Mercer still had fragments of Mercer inside it and that Mercer knew Heller's DNA and his level of powers could eradicate the virus So he let him win
People here need to understand. Alex Mercer could have decimated James Heller. Easy mode for him. But this is NOT Alex Mercer. The man we see in this game, is just a shell. People that played the first Prototype, know this. So in my humble opinion, I found it fitting that Heller won the fight. I miss Mercer though. That armor-mode's appearance? And the Musclemass power? Good times.
Felkhan Whiteball I guess so, I mean he gave up on humanity and believed he was given a gift. Though in this game he lost his drive and pretty much stop caring for anything other than the evolution
InFamous Being well it was render useless, I mean james was bullet proof and can reflect missiles. Also I do believe james became way to powerful for Alex, I mean he consume multiple with the virus, he should have been way stronger than he was in the first game
InFamous Being clearly it matches Alex heck surpass it, not to mention james can control the infective. Both he and Alex have the same power but james have a few new ones
This boss fight is amazing... Because there is pretty much a war going on while Alex Mercer and James Heller fight each other and it gets crazier and crazier... Helicopters crashing down... Evolved Crows flying around, buildings on fire, the dead zone off in the distance and a massive tendril connecting from one building to the other. It's truly a fight for the fate of New York
As much as we want that game, it's not happening, you see radical (the game developers for prototype). Was shut down and therefor prototype 3 will most likely never happen unless another company buys the rights to the prototype franchise. Hey, I want Prototype 3 too.
I’ve always thought: Alex wanted Heller to cure the virus which is why he let Heller kill him. Look at that huge tendril attack at the end that annulled most of the infected. Alex planned it all. All of it. He played the villain role on purpose. If you view the game from that perspective, Heller was basically a tool. Also why does the fandom’s split on Heller and Alex remind me of the Halo fandom’s split of Agent Locke and Master Chief?
@@SirBojo4 it’s not for the sake of sounding smart. It’s analyzing the clues the story gives us, and analyzing character actions and their backstory. This type of story has happened before, about a villain using the hero to fulfill his plan, even beyond death. It’s a pretty common trope.
@@CircusSeal thanks. Not sure if that’s a compliment or not, lol. Taking a look at the dialogue of Alex/the virus and the way the achievement is worded (“murder your maker*?*”), and how this trope has played out before and how the infected were killed at the end, it’s possible that could’ve been what the devs planned.
to everyone who was wondering why both Alex lost and was evil out of nowhere, it was meant to be a setup for the next game before activision went down. That is a doppelganger who took form shortly after mercer had figured out his true identity. A fight ensues in which the original loses, but he wakes up a good amount of time later. he goes to defeat the doppelganger, only to see it become consumed by heller. That's how the next game was supposed to go, but that game has been cancelled for whatever reason. At least you know he isn't really dead
@@rendzen3586 don't have any claims for this guy's response but Radical Entertainment was planning for a Prototype 3 but it was cancelled because of the low sales of P2
+awais anwar so nothing is cool about a black man trying to protect the only family he has left in this world from a crazy emo dude who's motive is to basically breed your little girl and turn her into the very thing you are but probably much worse. that's horrible and uncool but when it comes to a dude that left the only family he has for power and started the outbreak of the world just cause he felt like it you find someone like that badass. what a sad world humans like you must live in
No, mercer could've defeated him easily if he used the op armor from the first game or any other powers, mercer let himself get consumed by heller, and mercer is immortal
I think Alex have became one with virus and Heller even with his resistant DNA is fucked he is fucked to the extreme with fact Alex Mercer would take over his body damnit .
you know they nerfed alex to let heller win. alex didn't even use his shield or armor, or even his devastator after he just consume 6 evolved. the amount of bio mass that mercer just ate should've given him at least 3 free devastator.
cyberwolfy37 The boss battle could've been _so_ much better. Alex could've summoned a Goliath and Heller summon 2 Juggernauts and 4 Brawlers (once it glitched on me and did that exact thing when Heller needed to break down that door before the final boss), Devastators, Consume & Hide stealth portions (and finding one another before they generate too much health would be a great boss fight mechanic as well as a co-op/vs mode feature in future installments (if they ever make one)), and more mixing and matching of different arm powers, as well as throwing things and open traversal in the environment during the boss. This game had so much potential. But instead it improved on some mechanics from P1, but actually worsened itself on some aspects the first game did better.
vgman94 I was so pissed when I realized they abandon the perfectly good back story from prototype 1 and replace alex with heller. I mean yeah heller can still be protagonist but they forgotten all about project pariah, and after all of that foreshadowing. and you know what was a good boss fight ? the elizabeth greene boss fight. that was crazy fun.
cyberwolfy37 That was intense, but a bit simple. I preferred the Supreme Hunter boss fight. Also, I really wanted for Blackwatch to have better forces. The Super Soldiers were good, but we needed more. Drones, robotic enemies, a mech boss (Maybe 2, one Juggernaut sized, one Goliath sized). A more powerful version of P1's first boss with some Prototype powers (Imagine Cross with the ability to disguise himself and use the Claws and Bio-Bomb). Ah, damn you, Radical. Crash of the Titans, Crash Mind Over Mutant and Prototype. Such *_creative(!!!)_* games and yet there was so much unused potential. I miss you guys so much...
vgman94 the evolved were a pretty good boss fight, they fight similarly to cross if not better. and I agree they should've had more boss on the human side
cyberwolfy37 The Evolved... That just gave me an idea. A team vs team mode where you'd play as evolved against each other. Different mode could include finding and consuming a certain number of targets, deathmatches, and maybe killing your Goliath before the other team kills theirs (or alternatively kill X amount of enemies before they do). What do you think?
They really nerfed Alex in Prototype 2 , if He had all his insane abilities like Tendrils barrage, groundspike devastator, & the bulletdive ,this would've been one hell of a tough battle
+Luke Nichols I smile too because it reminds me that when I'm mad about something and talk I think I'm saying something serious but its just super simple lol
all of the dialogue in [P2] is pure gold blackwatch1: "you need to unfuck this situation!" blackwatch2: "understood. situation will be unfucked immediatly"
@Samuel Jake44 I dont think he was referring to literal humans, he was reffering of beings that have a sense of hummanity which makes them a man. Similar to the book "The hunchback of notre dame"
filip siurunis I dont say that I want to change it, its just so unfitting. Mercer had the advantage over Heller, both being more confindent in his skills, as well as having more "material". We could have gone with it more easily if Mercer would be cocky and overconfident, but he wasnt. This just kinda seems like Mercer wanted to lose to Heller.
I think it was because they wanted Alex to be fast, because his armor does reduce his mobility. I've always preferred the sheild in prototype 1. Didn't like the loss of mobility with the armor.
Heller beating Alex is ridiculous. Clearly the developers just WANTED Heller to win for whatever reason, cause logically, and realistically, Alex would destroy Heller.
the thing is, Alex knew he couldnt destroy the virus completely by his powers alone, but Heller and Alex power combined any of them could do it. Alex seemed like he was feeding Hellers anger so Heller would consume him and do it himself since Alex had nothing to live for but Heller has a family. Alex could have killed Heller easily.
Bread Cat Deal with it guys. My theory is when Alex or Heller become stronger, the one getting stronger is the virus inside them. When that happen, their humanity slowly vanished. The only thing that keeps them at bay is their dying will. At first, Alex's humanity is still strong because he had a strong will to uncover the truth behind Blacklight, but after his desire fulfilled (find the truth) the virus got the best of him, especially after realizing the real Alex is dead, only hollow body with the virus inside. Heller, having strong will to save his daughter, resisted the virus and controlled it. After saving his daughter, who know what might happen. Maybe eventually he will become like Alex, consumed by the virus, because he no longer have any will. Take note of Alex/Zeus's word to Dana, "beyond life and death". That's what I'm talking about.
and also this version of mercer did have good intentions, but after traveling the world he realizes that the world is only fighting each other, so he decides to kill everyone and start anew
The problem with both of your responses are that they don't make sense at all. What Usman said has almost zero relevance to anything considering the big reveal is that you were playing as the virus for the whole game, and still wanted to prevent new York from being nuked. Zues acknowledged he isn't really Alex, but he still tried to create an outcome new York could recover from. He even goes on to say Alex Mercer was a terrible human for releasing the virus in the first place. So suddenly having Zues do exactly that in the second game makes absolutely zero sense. And it only gets worse as the game progresses and he actually starts monologing like a stereotypical villain. All his character is gone. He's a gross strawman masquerading as the character we played as and got to know in the first game.
it actually makes sense that Alex was turned into a villain. I remember a cutscene in Prototype 1 where he's talking to Cross (who was the Supreme Hunter in disguise at the time). After killing several Leader Hunters to rescue Dana, the creature asks Alex about the likelihood of existing other "leaders" still loose in the city, to which Alex replies: "No, they are all dead. Except me." with a malicious tone. Considering the human Alex died and the virus took over his body, maybe this is a "side effect" of him becoming the virus: an urge to infect. Or it could simply be his sociopathic personality. of course, the comics tell a different story, in which Alex simply grew weary with what's wrong with humanity, but still...
The thing is that this the virus. There was no alex mercer in prototype 1. The virus was already sentient enough to become a human, it just had the capability to do something more. By prototype 1, it was just remembering what happened. If you give a human with the virus' power, its likely they will also do this. By prototype 2, the virus still considered itself to be a human albeit it just thinks he is an evolved or improved human.
Honestly, they should have made the Prototype 2 game story into that of the comic books to bridge the story gap, then the 3rd game could have had this story, making the series a proper trilogy and Alex wouldn't seem like such a dick, it would have been awesome to see Alex's character grow and develop to hate humanity until the cliffhanger ending, then be able to put him down in Prototype 3
It's amazing how salty everyone is that Alex lost, BUT FINALLY, a logical post from someone who knows what happened, thank you for restoring my faith in humanity.
Donald Norris Well i will try to summarize it as best I can. After the events of Prototype 1, Mercer just wanted to leave New York, so he decides to travel the world, and on his journey he killed many mass murderers and drug lords and other criminals, etc. After a while he goes and rents a cabin up north from a girl named Autumn and her dad Flint, and they are nice people but Flint's former business partner keeps coming over to stir up trouble and take Flint's land. Alex, who was falling in love with Autumn and wanted to protect her and her father, then goes to infiltrate Zurich's base and consumes him. But after absorbing his memories he learns that Zurich and Flint were involved with tons of murders and other bad stuff, and he rushes back to the cabin to kill Flint and protect Autumn. After killing him he then went to Autumn and asked her if she would be willing to leave with him, and then he went to find a stash of the money he accumulated, only to find Autumn had already stolen it. She then shot him in the head, but he healed instantly and consumed her. After seeing how the woman he loved didn't care about anyone but herself he decided that alongside all of the terrible things he had seen over his travels humanity was terrible and didn't deserve to exist.
Til this day, I still play this game and part one as well, I wish Radical entertainment was still a thing and can make Prototype 3 happen #Bringbackprototype
ShiroGaming hey we might have a chance everyone was waiting for a Darkness 2 since Starbreeze Studios stop being a thing and Digital Extremes was able to finish where they left off. So there’s still Hope
We Definitely want that Part 3 A Story where Alex lost it's purpose, and tried to give up on the World while Heller does the work... Alex gave Heller the Position because it looked like him before... a man with Meaning in his life While Alex is Stuck.... But that doesn't mean Alex is Gone, we might see Alex again, but in Heller's Consciousness while taking over Gentek and Heller destroying their plan with Another Gentek Virus and After that they must have lines like: Alex: "Hahah, You call that an escape? I could do it much more better than that Junior" Heller: " Mercer?!? " Alex: "Trying to destroy Gentek I see, didn't you know I already tried that earlier?" Heller: "What the hell.... why is mercer inside my head.... I thought I killed that motherf*cker" Alex: "Hahah, I'm not that easy to kill Heller.." With him watching Heller's Move because Alex is stuck at his Goal which is trying to stop the Virus but we knew he became a Villain because he couldn't do anything about the Virus, so what's better than watching someone do the work for Him? The Fight on Prototype 2 was maybe a Test for Heller if he has the same Capabilities like Alex, if it is I'd like to see what happens next.
"When I come at you like that, you should really get out the way." "Safe. For the moment." (Get it? Because Maya and Dana were in an actual safe?) I fucking love Mercer
One of my favorite boss fights ever. This fight is just epic it's a shame it's stuck on the rooftop only I would've liked to see them knock eachother of the building and fight in the streets or the park.
+Destroyer of words 2512 It's a video game, they can do whatever they want like Jonah Skiff said. It would be a damn shame to have the first game's protagonist die in such a weak boss fight.
That and you can use the sheild to deflect most of his attacks until the hammerfists comes in, and you can just jump high in the air and do an air attack with no consequence. The fight was ridiculously easy, even on the hardest difficulty you'd have no problems with this
Mercer is acting as someone superior (teacher) and even says "I taught you well" and Heller replied "You didn't teach me shit", Heller is right, he didn't teach him anything besides consuming someone for their memories, Heller even says "Now I know you're just trying to make me mad" meaning that all of that could just be a way of provocation. As much as people want to believe Mercer had a bigger plan by letting Heller consume him, he might've just done all of that to simply piss Heller off and throw him off balance in order to kill him. On top of that his boss quotes could be interpreted as guidelines for the player on how to win this fight, there are no text tips only verbal tips. Until Prototype 3 (if it ever comes out) we will never know and even then it depends in what direction they are gonna take the new game, It's not gonna be same thought process that Radnet had in 2012 so we might never know.
Even though this video is 11 years old, I have yet to see any one mention the fact that this is probably the only video with someone using tendrils. Everyone mostly uses blade, claws and whipblade
It's obvious Mercer wanted Heller to win. Mercer didn't even bother to use his armor, among other abilities. Alex was holding back. That, and if Heller did manage to win and consume Alex, then Heller would know everything that Alex knows. About Blackwatch, about the virus, about the Evolved. On top of all this, Alex had consumed countless intelligent people, and those people are now apart of Heller. It was part of Alex Mercer's plan to share his knowledge with Heller. Heller has now become a new Alex Mercer, but with a different perspective. Oh, and for the record, Alex Mercer isn't dead. His arms were sliced clean off, and Mercer has a regenerative ability, right? Heller did consume Alex, but not all of him. Alex's arms are probably still laying around somewhere waiting for some DNA to come along and help them regrow. As I said, this is all apart of Alex Mercer's plan. He wouldn't willing give up his life unless he had something planned.
I just finished playing Prototype 2 and looking at the comments, people greatly underestimate James Heller and his combat abilities and how powerful he would have become over the course of the game.
It seems that heller has grown more popular over the years since the release of this game. I always fw heller more... He was a much more complex character then mercer, plus he was honorable
@no name Bring In pariah While Mercer is still in the head of heller So Mercer talks To Heller And heller hears that in his Brain So We find out that mercer actually wanted heller to consme him So in prototype 2 Mercer Purposly lost to heller In the ending Heller fights with pariah And consunes pariah Which forces Mercer to Bust out of heller Thus making prototype 4 2nd theory: Remember When heller consumes mercer He first rips his arm off In prototype 3 mercer arm reproduced itself And Comes back And join forces With heller And They both fight a new Villan
"now you've just pissed me off" OKAY THIS IS GONNA BE EPIC! WE'RE GONNA SEE SUPER ALEX YAY! *summons Virus demons* Now, Alex, YOU'VE just pissed me off. (finished both the games and this was my actual thoughts)
Aside from the fight itself being generally great and the amazing music, I think my favourite thing about this boss fight is how whenever one of them lands a significant blow on the other, they start talking shit to each other. Each in their own different way that showcases the differences in their character. Alex is fairly courteous, but also unbearably smug and slightly psychotic. James on the other hand is super crude, loud and a little cocky whenever he gets the upper hand.
@@Seifelma3rifa i really hate that alex lost.... i am playing prototype 1 right now and alex is fking cool and badass and his look is cool too but heller isn't look smart at all
Lol, I remember having such a migraine first hours playing this game, because of the colour combos. But never stopped playing it, even when in tons of pain, because it was so damn fun and awesome playing it, first and second game
Well i don't think mercer has gone evil, just mad, if you remember what he said from the dialogue, he wants to give everyone the same powers. This is probably the result of devouring so much memories and the only thing running in his head is pure logic.
what would have been a better story for this game is that Alex is still the protagonist, trying to stop gentek and blackwatch. And when he said its a bioweapons test, that could have been part of the plot, Alex putting a stop to it all just like he did the 1st game. As for heller, they both could end up being unlikely allies. Alex gave turned him into an evolved, but instead he could doing it to save his life though he had a fixation on him.
you can even say his insanity is the reason (karma) why he ended up loosing, although in experience with the virus standards he should've won or at least shouldn't have lost easily
marco baldi Yeah idk man, I try not to think about it. They literally destroyed the game franchise, not just Alex, for me. Not everyone is going to out and get the comics. I like to think the game ended right after the first lol. But I'll give credit where it's due. The music in the second one was really good. And the cinematic scenes were very well done. The story, however, was beyond retarded.
One thing I like about Prototype 2 more than 1, a less immoral story. I just finished the game and I was very satisfied with the ending. One thing that Heller has over Mercer, something worth fighting for. Heller FTW.
Finally someone who agrees with me! Alex in the first game didn't make any moral decisions besides the decision between "murder everyone" and "murder everyone and eat them afterwards" and the game still tries to make him look like he's the victim. His personality was actually very incoherent. At one time i was running over civilians with a Tank and Alex was like "Gawrsh i hope this is the right thing to do!", as if he was Mr. Bean trying to be a mass murderer.
That's the only thing. But he's selfish. He ricked his life only in sense of saving his daughter, not humanity or the town. If it wasn't Dana who forced him, if there wasn't Alex who took his daughter.. Then we would't see him doing anything.
soschar2050 dude, i played this game. Ok? I know what's behind all Heller's deeds. So don't fcking teach me, please. It's my fav game (First Prototype especially) but nevertheless i know the storyline and missions. If to say in first Prototype there was lots of missions of helping a people.
Imagine all the Squeakers (twelve year old children and under) that would flood the servers and start griefing other players like it was the new GTAV...The horror!
Even though this ending is weird, prototype 3 would have massive potential for story and gameplay. Now we just need a new protagonist. Somebody badass.
The heck? No they shouldn't come up with somebody from either Heller or Mercer's family bloodline they should bring in someone new and fresh to the table i mean think of the possibility that they may even introduce multiplayer in 3. They will need a new story.
it wasn't his fault for the death of millions of people in the first game Elizabeth Greene had the virus and multiplied it to a group of people which in return turned in to hunters so basically wasn't his fault
After been backstabed countless times, has a rough life and has no friends in his entire life. Considered by the society as terorist and a monster despite his efforts of saving new york. No wonder he became an evil dude. IT'S THE COMICS FAULT
I dont think so,because in the first game,"Alex" had to consume something to be Alive again,but it could be Too bad they didnt add a post-credits scene where alex revives
For all those who hate the Fact Heller killed Mercer just remember Mercer brought his demise on himself. No one forced Mercer to infect Heller with the virus in the first place otherwise he'd still be on top as the most superior virus or ''Prototype'' or whatever he's supposed to be now
If prototype 3 came out, everyone wants Alex Mercer to come back but half the audience loved Heller as well, why not have the virus spread to multiple states instead of just New York (LIKE ALWAYS IN ALMOST EVERY VIDEO GAME) so Heller travels to stop the spread of the infection while at the same time the over all goal of the game is to stop Black Watch once and for all. During the game, however, Alex Mercer was actually remaining dormant within Heller and fights to take control of his body or ultimately separate from Heller, switching characters during the game on missions.
I thought a lot about things happening if there was prototype 3. I wish they would make a saparate story, about the same virus but in other city, with other people. Like, maybe another infection spreading, and someone's absorbed it and changed it (like Elisabeth Greene did) then this person (who would better be civil) will start to realize what was it, who was behind the infection (will find out the story about New York. Will have to travel there in almost empty city. Go into Alex's destroyed apartment) will find Heller (for help) cuz you're still too weak for dealing with virus alone. There will happen smth, that Heller will gone crazy, he's going to have alter-ego, which is going to take control over him. And the person you're playing have to improve his skills to deal with virus and gone wild Heller. Or smth like that. LOL
I had a bit of fun with this game, even if it had a lot of negatives. But the gore, the trash talking and Alex and James' dialogue before the fight is hilarious.
Coming back to this video, one line made me remember something: “your daughter will become the mother of the new world.” It reminded me that a few years before the game came out, I asked the devs on their Facebook page “if there is a Prototype 2, can we please play as a black girl?” There was more to the letter but I don’t remember the rest; and for the second game, we got to play as a black guy but hey that’s still cool. Heller had some funny lines. I know it’s probably unrelated but it’s still fun to think that my little Facebook post probably had some impact on their character choice when they were making this game.
I allways thought that Alex Mercer was a good guy. In both games. In the first game...poor Alex was just seeking for revenge, and now is sharing his powers with James Heller. An opponent
i realy prefer the first one then the second game.dont get me wrong but the story of the second one after we played with alex turn him in the bad guy dont work for me greetings from portugal
You help but feel sorry for his daughter. The death of her mother and for a little bit, she thought it was the death of her father to. She didn't think it was him anymore. Nice to see her hug him in the end.
![The Entire [Prototype] Story EXPLAINED!](/img/1.gif)
This game needs an alternate mode where you play as Mercer to see the other side of the story.
and also it needs an alternate ending of Mercer winning the fight.
I agree with you completly
Prototype 1
There’s a Alex Mercer skin, but it’s hard to get, his voice doesn’t change and the story doesn’t change. So it doesn’t rly matter
i agree
.
For those wanting to know why Alex is the hero in Protytpe 1 but suddenly the villain in Prototype 2:
The Prototype 2 comics came out in between the Prototype 1 and 2 games and it depicts how Alex went from good guy to bad guy. Apparently the game devs expected everyone to read the comic so they kinda didn't bother showing it in the Prototype 2 game.
Long story short: after the events of Prototype, Alex travels the world trying to find out where he fits in, considering he's not exactly human anymore. During his travels, he witnesses how corrupt the human race is and he basically gets disgusted and loses faith in humanity as a whole. (Tons of stuff happen in the comic, this is just a really general summary.) So Alex turns "evil" in the sense that he wants to make something better than the human race because humans have gone too far to be saved.
If you think about it, he's kinda a hero but in a more Thanos way.
Mercer: I am Inevitable!
Heller: And I am a Super Soldier
alex was never the hero or the good guy, in the first game he already had evil tropes like consuming his ex and cross saying something about there being no more leaders which implys infected leaders but then mercer says 'except me'
imo the comic fucks up mercer in which the first game was already setting up for the 2nd game and shouldve been different than the comic that was given for the explanation of mercer being evil in the 2nd game.
Thanks for this and stating the true story of Alex Mercer turning evil.
Lots of folks online spreading lies that evil Mercer is a fake.
Thanos is not a hero, he just wants to bone Death & thinks increasing her workload by a few million orders of magnitude will get her horny.
The original Mercer voice actor was much better.
yeap but that guy is a legit actor
I fucking loved his voice actor for some reason.
Scamceno agreed
oh ty
Scamceno I didn't even notice that he had a new voice actor.
I love how Mercer has this huge, life saving world plan, while Heller is just like "f*** this, where's my daughter b****!"
Life saving? He wants to make the whole world become evolved
well they're part immortal if they become one.
Uh... you mean infecting the world with this zombie hivemind meglomaniac plan?
I like how it was explained in this mission yet these two people think it makes you part immortal or makes them evolved when the people that get infected die the virus replaces them Alex Mercer died when he was infected and the thing pretending to be Alex Mercer killed Heller when he infected him it doesn't make you immortal it kills you and shoves something else in

I love how the cutscenes are basically what in game footage looks like now.
bro the cutscenes look like shit
This makes me want a prototype 3 even more
I’ve always thought: Alex wanted Heller to cure the virus which is why he let Heller kill him. Look at that huge tendril attack at the end that annulled most of the infected.
Alex planned it all. All of it. He played the villain role on purpose. If you view the game from that perspective, Heller was basically a tool.
Also why does the fandom’s split on Heller and Alex remind me of the Halo fandom’s split of Agent Locke and Master Chief?
that was a good theory tbh
Big brain Theory
Doesn't make any sense.
So many stupid theory created for the sake of creating one and seeming smart.
@@SirBojo4 it’s not for the sake of sounding smart. It’s analyzing the clues the story gives us, and analyzing character actions and their backstory. This type of story has happened before, about a villain using the hero to fulfill his plan, even beyond death. It’s a pretty common trope.
@@CircusSeal thanks. Not sure if that’s a compliment or not, lol. Taking a look at the dialogue of Alex/the virus and the way the achievement is worded (“murder your maker*?*”), and how this trope has played out before and how the infected were killed at the end, it’s possible that could’ve been what the devs planned.
Prototype 1 and 2, L4D, L4D2 will always be one of the best iconic games!
what do we do now we get busy making lots and lot of babies🤣🤣🤣
@@SaraMorgan-ym6ue no we dont
to everyone who was wondering why both Alex lost and was evil out of nowhere, it was meant to be a setup for the next game before activision went down. That is a doppelganger who took form shortly after mercer had figured out his true identity. A fight ensues in which the original loses, but he wakes up a good amount of time later. he goes to defeat the doppelganger, only to see it become consumed by heller. That's how the next game was supposed to go, but that game has been cancelled for whatever reason. At least you know he isn't really dead
can you prove your claims?

The reason mercer lost is because heller had a bunch of quicktime prompts to tell him how to use his powers appropriately

Prototype 3: James Heller was killed by his creation 😂
you know they nerfed alex to let heller win. alex didn't even use his shield or armor, or even his devastator after he just consume 6 evolved.
the amount of bio mass that mercer just ate should've given him at least 3 free devastator.
cyberwolfy37 The boss battle could've been _so_ much better. Alex could've summoned a Goliath and Heller summon 2 Juggernauts and 4 Brawlers (once it glitched on me and did that exact thing when Heller needed to break down that door before the final boss), Devastators, Consume & Hide stealth portions (and finding one another before they generate too much health would be a great boss fight mechanic as well as a co-op/vs mode feature in future installments (if they ever make one)), and more mixing and matching of different arm powers, as well as throwing things and open traversal in the environment during the boss. This game had so much potential. But instead it improved on some mechanics from P1, but actually worsened itself on some aspects the first game did better.
vgman94
I was so pissed when I realized they abandon the perfectly good back story from prototype 1 and replace alex with heller. I mean yeah heller can still be protagonist but they forgotten all about project pariah, and after all of that foreshadowing.
and you know what was a good boss fight ? the elizabeth greene boss fight. that was crazy fun.
cyberwolfy37 That was intense, but a bit simple. I preferred the Supreme Hunter boss fight. Also, I really wanted for Blackwatch to have better forces. The Super Soldiers were good, but we needed more. Drones, robotic enemies, a mech boss (Maybe 2, one Juggernaut sized, one Goliath sized). A more powerful version of P1's first boss with some Prototype powers (Imagine Cross with the ability to disguise himself and use the Claws and Bio-Bomb).
Ah, damn you, Radical. Crash of the Titans, Crash Mind Over Mutant and Prototype. Such *_creative(!!!)_* games and yet there was so much unused potential. I miss you guys so much...
vgman94
the evolved were a pretty good boss fight, they fight similarly to cross if not better. and I agree they should've had more boss on the human side
cyberwolfy37 The Evolved... That just gave me an idea. A team vs team mode where you'd play as evolved against each other. Different mode could include finding and consuming a certain number of targets, deathmatches, and maybe killing your Goliath before the other team kills theirs (or alternatively kill X amount of enemies before they do). What do you think?
They really nerfed Alex in Prototype 2 , if He had all his insane abilities like Tendrils barrage, groundspike devastator, & the bulletdive ,this would've been one hell of a tough battle
They didn't nerf him. He just held back the entire time so that Heller could kill him. It's apart of his overcomplicated plan

Mercer would have decimated Heller without trying. Let's be real here.
you serious...?
remember how heller just used the tendril thing to kill all infected ? Mercer could have pulled that anytime in the fight.
i agree mercer couldve used his armor in this fight too
+ThecursedCrusade96 go tell that to the developers of the game. Mercer consumed his followers to be more powerful, but he still got killed.
filip siurunis I dont say that I want to change it, its just so unfitting. Mercer had the advantage over Heller, both being more confindent in his skills, as well as having more "material". We could have gone with it more easily if Mercer would be cocky and overconfident, but he wasnt. This just kinda seems like Mercer wanted to lose to Heller.
Did anyone noticed how Mercer in the final fight uses some of his original moves in Prototype 1 like the surf or the cannonball?
yes he did
MarcusFenix89 cannonball hammerfist
yeah the superman hammerfist thing and cannonball is my fav moves in the prequel
local journalism under pressure..
ruclips.net/video/0rvF1GdDens/видео.html
He also use the P1’s other move such as Blade Frenzy, P1 Whipfist's Basic attack pattern and seperate Street Sweeper
i was so much pissed that alex didnt used his armor in that fight, its like they forgot he can do that
I think it was because they wanted Alex to be fast, because his armor does reduce his mobility. I've always preferred the sheild in prototype 1. Didn't like the loss of mobility with the armor.
Heller beating Alex is ridiculous. Clearly the developers just WANTED Heller to win for whatever reason, cause logically, and realistically, Alex would destroy Heller.
the thing is, Alex knew he couldnt destroy the virus completely by his powers alone, but Heller and Alex power combined any of them could do it. Alex seemed like he was feeding Hellers anger so Heller would consume him and do it himself since Alex had nothing to live for but Heller has a family. Alex could have killed Heller easily.
he tried to kill Heller before but his will and anger is to much for him
Christopher Rice "will Nd anger" Sounds like a legit feat... *Cough cough Bullshit cough cough*.
Other people's comments doesn't make it true
If that was the case, why did Mercer release the virus yet again? Why did he want to evolve the human race so badly?
what else wanted Alex to win
it's "Who else".
+zoter154 EDRICK umm sorry, my desk want alex to win
+zoter154 EDRICK sorry auto correct
Bread Cat Deal with it guys. My theory is when Alex or Heller become stronger, the one getting stronger is the virus inside them. When that happen, their humanity slowly vanished. The only thing that keeps them at bay is their dying will. At first, Alex's humanity is still strong because he had a strong will to uncover the truth behind Blacklight, but after his desire fulfilled (find the truth) the virus got the best of him, especially after realizing the real Alex is dead, only hollow body with the virus inside. Heller, having strong will to save his daughter, resisted the virus and controlled it. After saving his daughter, who know what might happen. Maybe eventually he will become like Alex, consumed by the virus, because he no longer have any will. Take note of Alex/Zeus's word to Dana, "beyond life and death". That's what I'm talking about.
Alex is mad at all then he want now create evil world and make maya like him and she would become mother of new world(new killer)
7:22 My reaction when I saw what Prototype 2 did to mercer's character.
mercer died since the first game, he said that himself,
this was most likely just the virus in his form
and also this version of mercer did have good intentions, but after traveling the world he realizes that the world is only fighting each other, so he decides to kill everyone and start anew
The problem with both of your responses are that they don't make sense at all. What Usman said has almost zero relevance to anything considering the big reveal is that you were playing as the virus for the whole game, and still wanted to prevent new York from being nuked. Zues acknowledged he isn't really Alex, but he still tried to create an outcome new York could recover from. He even goes on to say Alex Mercer was a terrible human for releasing the virus in the first place. So suddenly having Zues do exactly that in the second game makes absolutely zero sense. And it only gets worse as the game progresses and he actually starts monologing like a stereotypical villain. All his character is gone. He's a gross strawman masquerading as the character we played as and got to know in the first game.

it actually makes sense that Alex was turned into a villain. I remember a cutscene in Prototype 1 where he's talking to Cross (who was the Supreme Hunter in disguise at the time). After killing several Leader Hunters to rescue Dana, the creature asks Alex about the likelihood of existing other "leaders" still loose in the city, to which Alex replies: "No, they are all dead. Except me." with a malicious tone. Considering the human Alex died and the virus took over his body, maybe this is a "side effect" of him becoming the virus: an urge to infect. Or it could simply be his sociopathic personality.
of course, the comics tell a different story, in which Alex simply grew weary with what's wrong with humanity, but still...
+GivenToFly theres comics???!!!
RiseOfPrime yep! Prototype 1 e 2 actually
GivenToFly can you link them for m ;3
Alex is Alex but not physically.He became the virus.
The thing is that this the virus. There was no alex mercer in prototype 1.
The virus was already sentient enough to become a human, it just had the capability to do something more. By prototype 1, it was just remembering what happened.
If you give a human with the virus' power, its likely they will also do this. By prototype 2, the virus still considered itself to be a human albeit it just thinks he is an evolved or improved human.

Me Too My Saved Games Of Prototype 2 Is Gone
Honestly, they should have made the Prototype 2 game story into that of the comic books to bridge the story gap, then the 3rd game could have had this story, making the series a proper trilogy and Alex wouldn't seem like such a dick, it would have been awesome to see Alex's character grow and develop to hate humanity until the cliffhanger ending, then be able to put him down in Prototype 3
It's amazing how salty everyone is that Alex lost, BUT FINALLY, a logical post from someone who knows what happened, thank you for restoring my faith in humanity.
Donald Norris Well i will try to summarize it as best I can.
After the events of Prototype 1, Mercer just wanted to leave New York, so he decides to travel the world, and on his journey he killed many mass murderers and drug lords and other criminals, etc. After a while he goes and rents a cabin up north from a girl named Autumn and her dad Flint, and they are nice people but Flint's former business partner keeps coming over to stir up trouble and take Flint's land. Alex, who was falling in love with Autumn and wanted to protect her and her father, then goes to infiltrate Zurich's base and consumes him. But after absorbing his memories he learns that Zurich and Flint were involved with tons of murders and other bad stuff, and he rushes back to the cabin to kill Flint and protect Autumn. After killing him he then went to Autumn and asked her if she would be willing to leave with him, and then he went to find a stash of the money he accumulated, only to find Autumn had already stolen it. She then shot him in the head, but he healed instantly and consumed her. After seeing how the woman he loved didn't care about anyone but herself he decided that alongside all of the terrible things he had seen over his travels humanity was terrible and didn't deserve to exist.
Wow, thanks. I can see why his view of humanity became more and more jaded(for lack of a better term)
He has became a misanthrop after that, I guess.
We all can feel for him there.
Atleast a DLC could have been better..

We Definitely want that Part 3
A Story where Alex lost it's purpose, and tried to give up on the World while Heller does the work... Alex gave Heller the Position because it looked like him before... a man with Meaning in his life While Alex is Stuck....
But that doesn't mean Alex is Gone, we might see Alex again, but in Heller's Consciousness while taking over Gentek and Heller destroying their plan with Another Gentek Virus and After that they must have lines like:
Alex: "Hahah, You call that an escape? I could do it much more better than that Junior"
Heller: " Mercer?!? "
Alex: "Trying to destroy Gentek I see, didn't you know I already tried that earlier?"
Heller: "What the hell.... why is mercer inside my head.... I thought I killed that motherf*cker"
Alex: "Hahah, I'm not that easy to kill Heller.."
With him watching Heller's Move because Alex is stuck at his Goal which is trying to stop the Virus but we knew he became a Villain because he couldn't do anything about the Virus, so what's better than watching someone do the work for Him?
The Fight on Prototype 2 was maybe a Test for Heller if he has the same Capabilities like Alex, if it is I'd like to see what happens next.

That and you can use the sheild to deflect most of his attacks until the hammerfists comes in, and you can just jump high in the air and do an air attack with no consequence. The fight was ridiculously easy, even on the hardest difficulty you'd have no problems with this

+Rogatka Revenge you dont like black man ?

Not to mention the fact that it holds your hand far less than this game does.
The voice acting for James Heller was amazing.
Mercer is acting as someone superior (teacher) and even says "I taught you well" and Heller replied "You didn't teach me shit", Heller is right, he didn't teach him anything besides consuming someone for their memories, Heller even says "Now I know you're just trying to make me mad" meaning that all of that could just be a way of provocation. As much as people want to believe Mercer had a bigger plan by letting Heller consume him, he might've just done all of that to simply piss Heller off and throw him off balance in order to kill him. On top of that his boss quotes could be interpreted as guidelines for the player on how to win this fight, there are no text tips only verbal tips. Until Prototype 3 (if it ever comes out) we will never know and even then it depends in what direction they are gonna take the new game, It's not gonna be same thought process that Radnet had in 2012 so we might never know.
Even though this video is 11 years old, I have yet to see any one mention the fact that this is probably the only video with someone using tendrils. Everyone mostly uses blade, claws and whipblade
Lesson 1:Never fuck with a mutant black guy.
It's obvious Mercer wanted Heller to win. Mercer didn't even bother to use his armor, among other abilities. Alex was holding back. That, and if Heller did manage to win and consume Alex, then Heller would know everything that Alex knows. About Blackwatch, about the virus, about the Evolved. On top of all this, Alex had consumed countless intelligent people, and those people are now apart of Heller. It was part of Alex Mercer's plan to share his knowledge with Heller. Heller has now become a new Alex Mercer, but with a different perspective.
Oh, and for the record, Alex Mercer isn't dead. His arms were sliced clean off, and Mercer has a regenerative ability, right? Heller did consume Alex, but not all of him. Alex's arms are probably still laying around somewhere waiting for some DNA to come along and help them regrow.
As I said, this is all apart of Alex Mercer's plan. He wouldn't willing give up his life unless he had something planned.
What happened to make Mercer so weak? One dose of Critical Pain would have ended this fight in five seconds.
I just finished playing Prototype 2 and looking at the comments, people greatly underestimate James Heller and his combat abilities and how powerful he would have become over the course of the game.
It seems that heller has grown more popular over the years since the release of this game. I always fw heller more... He was a much more complex character then mercer, plus he was honorable
"What do we do now?"
We go bankrupt over this BS. The end.
Prototype 3 would have such a good STORY and gameplay...

And heller hears that in his Brain So We find out that mercer actually wanted heller to consme him So in prototype 2 Mercer Purposly lost to heller

Which forces Mercer to Bust out of heller Thus making prototype 4

He first rips his arm off
In prototype 3 mercer arm reproduced itself And Comes back And join forces With heller And They both fight a new Villan

(finished both the games and this was my actual thoughts)
Aside from the fight itself being generally great and the amazing music, I think my favourite thing about this boss fight is how whenever one of them lands a significant blow on the other, they start talking shit to each other. Each in their own different way that showcases the differences in their character. Alex is fairly courteous, but also unbearably smug and slightly psychotic. James on the other hand is super crude, loud and a little cocky whenever he gets the upper hand.

Well i don't think mercer has gone evil, just mad, if you remember what he said from the dialogue, he wants to give everyone the same powers. This is probably the result of devouring so much memories and the only thing running in his head is pure logic.
what would have been a better story for this game is that Alex is still the protagonist, trying to stop gentek and blackwatch. And when he said its a bioweapons test, that could have been part of the plot, Alex putting a stop to it all just like he did the 1st game. As for heller, they both could end up being unlikely allies. Alex gave turned him into an evolved, but instead he could doing it to save his life though he had a fixation on him.
Well...Technically "Alex" or the Virus was already slowly going sadistic at the nearing end of the game
Dennis Bantegui yeah I know, whats ur point?
not like i finished any of the parts of this game but his point were that alex went way too sadistic & were unable to be on the 'good' side anymore
you can even say his insanity is the reason (karma) why he ended up loosing, although in experience with the virus standards he should've won or at least shouldn't have lost easily

Prototype 3: Heller and Mercer rip in two. and we get to see his daughter in action. And she's even more powerful than both of them combined.
One thing I like about Prototype 2 more than 1, a less immoral story. I just finished the game and I was very satisfied with the ending. One thing that Heller has over Mercer, something worth fighting for. Heller FTW.
Finally someone who agrees with me! Alex in the first game didn't make any moral decisions besides the decision between "murder everyone" and "murder everyone and eat them afterwards" and the game still tries to make him look like he's the victim. His personality was actually very incoherent. At one time i was running over civilians with a Tank and Alex was like "Gawrsh i hope this is the right thing to do!", as if he was Mr. Bean trying to be a mass murderer.
That's the only thing. But he's selfish. He ricked his life only in sense of saving his daughter, not humanity or the town. If it wasn't Dana who forced him, if there wasn't Alex who took his daughter.. Then we would't see him doing anything.
ISLOW S
More than half the Sidequests in Prototype 2 involve helping the people, if not all of them.
Just sayin.
soschar2050 dude, i played this game. Ok? I know what's behind all Heller's deeds. So don't fcking teach me, please. It's my fav game (First Prototype especially) but nevertheless i know the storyline and missions. If to say in first Prototype there was lots of missions of helping a people.
This game in an open environment with at least seven other players. Imagine the carnage.
That would be awesome.
Imagine all the Squeakers (twelve year old children and under) that would flood the servers and start griefing other players like it was the new GTAV...The horror!
And the lag.
Even though this ending is weird, prototype 3 would have massive potential for story and gameplay. Now we just need a new protagonist. Somebody badass.
Heller wasn't badass?
MusicNationUnite He was but the role of anti hero doesn't really suit Heller.
I could actually go for seeing Maya as a protagonist. After she grows up and there's a third outbreak. That would be pretty sweet.

The heck? No they shouldn't come up with somebody from either Heller or Mercer's family bloodline they should bring in someone new and fresh to the table i mean think of the possibility that they may even introduce multiplayer in 3. They will need a new story.
Still my hardest final fight in any game
why do they have to make James kill Alex . Alex was the coolest video game character ever I even looked up to him
You looked up on him? A guy responsible for the deaths of millions? What the fuck... let me just call the police for you
it wasn't his fault for the death of millions of people in the first game Elizabeth Greene had the virus and multiplied it to a group of people which in return turned in to hunters so basically wasn't his fault
Armando Sanchez The game opens with Alex releasing the virus in Penn station..
You mean the trailer or the very first part of the game
Armando Sanchez You've played the first Prototype game right?
Alex Mercer needs take precaution that James Heller is from the war, next time.
After all this years I'm still pissed that they made Alex a bad guy
After been backstabed countless times, has a rough life and has no friends in his entire life. Considered by the society as terorist and a monster despite his efforts of saving new york. No wonder he became an evil dude. IT'S THE COMICS FAULT
zoter154 EDRICK that's true
+best paul I wish they make prototype 3 and we play as mercer again or even better PARIAH
Since James didn't consume Alex arms he might be alive.
I dont think so,because in the first game,"Alex" had to consume something to be Alive again,but it could be
Too bad they didnt add a post-credits scene where alex revives
@@Ben-xb4yk just wait for remake prototype 2
For all those who hate the Fact Heller killed Mercer just remember Mercer brought his demise on himself. No one forced Mercer to infect Heller with the virus in the first place otherwise he'd still be on top as the most superior virus or ''Prototype'' or whatever he's supposed to be now
If he did'nt got nerfed or anything he would've won otherwise even infecting Heller or not
Fuck that emo gay. Heler is the best
@@garbageproduction5769 you are gae, you are transgenda
@@garbageproduction5769 Mercer is way better than Heller , change my mind gae
@@dripyalonski5199 who won the fight easily??
R.I.P. Radical studios, Prototype and Hulk were AMAZING =')
If prototype 3 came out, everyone wants Alex Mercer to come back but half the audience loved Heller as well, why not have the virus spread to multiple states instead of just New York (LIKE ALWAYS IN ALMOST EVERY VIDEO GAME) so Heller travels to stop the spread of the infection while at the same time the over all goal of the game is to stop Black Watch once and for all. During the game, however, Alex Mercer was actually remaining dormant within Heller and fights to take control of his body or ultimately separate from Heller, switching characters during the game on missions.
Really cool idea!
I thought a lot about things happening if there was prototype 3. I wish they would make a saparate story, about the same virus but in other city, with other people. Like, maybe another infection spreading, and someone's absorbed it and changed it (like Elisabeth Greene did) then this person (who would better be civil) will start to realize what was it, who was behind the infection (will find out the story about New York. Will have to travel there in almost empty city. Go into Alex's destroyed apartment) will find Heller (for help) cuz you're still too weak for dealing with virus alone. There will happen smth, that Heller will gone crazy, he's going to have alter-ego, which is going to take control over him. And the person you're playing have to improve his skills to deal with virus and gone wild Heller. Or smth like that. LOL
Real talk
James’s VA did a great job giving Heller his anger.
"When I come at you like that you should really get out of the way" Alex was training Heller lol
Boudy COOL more like taunting and teasing him which kept making heller more pissed
I had a bit of fun with this game, even if it had a lot of negatives. But the gore, the trash talking and Alex and James' dialogue before the fight is hilarious.
I also love the fact that the dialogue is based on who's winning.
@@tallstar513 yeah? Nice!
The ending was terrible tho
just sayin the startin cutscne for this mission looks like a vampire movie
Its been a years and years and im still waiting for mercer to comback just like he did in first game. Its time to give up on my childhood character.
Coming back to this video, one line made me remember something: “your daughter will become the mother of the new world.”
It reminded me that a few years before the game came out, I asked the devs on their Facebook page “if there is a Prototype 2, can we please play as a black girl?” There was more to the letter but I don’t remember the rest; and for the second game, we got to play as a black guy but hey that’s still cool. Heller had some funny lines.
I know it’s probably unrelated but it’s still fun to think that my little Facebook post probably had some impact on their character choice when they were making this game.
Honestly, I wouldn't have minded playing as a girl in Prototype 2.
@@michaeljason2593 if they make a third one I think it could happen, maybe play as Dana or Maya
i want alex still alive :'(
he should not have been evil either
Brandon Bolden shit went wrong xD
i am :D
:D HAHAHA
mohammad aliraqi i played the game and i came to the conclusion hes better evil
I allways thought that Alex Mercer was a good guy. In both games. In the first game...poor Alex was just seeking for revenge, and now is sharing his powers with James Heller. An opponent
i realy prefer the first one then the second game.dont get me wrong but the story of the second one after we played with alex turn him in the bad guy dont work for me greetings from portugal
You help but feel sorry for his daughter. The death of her mother and for a little bit, she thought it was the death of her father to. She didn't think it was him anymore. Nice to see her hug him in the end.
