Hey, follow me on twitter so I look semi-popular there but never post anything so I also appear interestingly mysterious. twitter.com/Kevduit
Hi
I can't believe my comment got in that's awesome thank you
Brusmala
Would really love to watch you play goat simulator, metal gear solid 3 or 5, tomb raider games etc
bro if you play you got to play prototype 2
Prototype is a power fantasy. Playing as a nye immortal, unstoppable, rage filled demon that can slaughter hordes of monsters and military alike without any care in the world. Honestly one of the most fun games I’ve ever played.
Prototype 2 had good graphics but is miles away from prototype 1.
See, this is why I hate video games, it appeals to the male fantasea.
@jimbob8726 reaching farther than the sun
@luksten9962 I think that could maybe be a joke, because the ending of "fantasea" sounds a bit like a joke. :)
*nigh-immortal
You're welcome.
Such a shame this franchise died because Activision wasn’t happy with the revenue it received
I mean the second game sold like shit
@redshep4318 doesnt help they decided to make Mercer a villain with no explanation in-game so if you missed the comic or whatever that explains why he wants to infect all of humanity now, the whole story comes across like WTF? I was half expecting to find out the "Alex Mercer" who was leading the Infect forces wasnt the same entity as the protagonist from the first game but nope.
i like where it ended imagine paying micro transactions for powers
I mean now there’s a possibility of it being revived with the buying of Activision.
@redshep4318 i love the second game.
“I’m not evil spiderman, would evil spiderman do this!? *throws a car*”
As someone who played web of shadows, yes, that’s like, the main thing evil spiderman does.
And it never gets old!
You got that game with kohl’s cash
I feel the presence of a smart man
Didn't Shaba develop both games?
Edit: no
man of culture I miss that game to this day
Funnily enough, there's an achievement for killing no NPC civilians throughout the entire game and it's nice knowing that Kev failed it spectacularly
Nah it’s consuming civilians
Yeah it's consuming. I got it myself. It would have been nearly impossible to get if it were killing civilians. There's just way too much collateral damage in this game. You basically can't even drive an armored vehicle through an infected zone without killing civilians accidentally.
Isn't the trophy called "Vegan" or something like that?
@DivineFalcon Yeah it's something cheeky like that.
It’s for killing less than 10 civilians throughout the entire game.
solider: "that not possible.....he just sucked it dry"
had me laughing
😂😂😂
Me to my boyfriend
Back in the day this game was the shit, the whole idea around shape shifting into anybody and being a weapon on of mass destruction was badass. And infiltrating the bases required some thought if you wanted to be sneaky.
You basically played as John carpenters The thing of it had a conscience.
Sadly Activision killed one of the funniest franchises I've ever played
I chuckled at the word play of "mass destruction" given how you steal and use the mass of other organisms to destroy. Aha
@TH3-SKELETON-KING consciousness
@TH3-SKELETON-KING I think you mean consciousness, ie a human mind, having a conscience would mean you eat less people for snacks and kill-spree challenges and we cant have that!
Easily one of the best open world sandbox of its time. The abilities were sick and the destruction was on another lvl for its time. Thoroughly enjoyed that gem!
Bit of an odd thing to focus on, but I loved the smoke effects. Whenever a big fight started, burning vehicles would be everywhere, and the smoke from them would fill the skies. Nothing like the little 20 foot trails most games have to this day, it really sold the idea that everything was going thoroughly insane.
Alongside the sandbox, you can FEEL the upgrade menu. Getting sprint 2, jump 2 and glide at the same time, you could see a huge difference when it comes to moving through the city. And every upgrade makes you progressively stronger.
If there was a strength power up (not musclemass) you'd probably be shredding everything short of the final boss harder than you already do.
Nah, all missions are the same, it's too repetitive zzz
@ian82361 lol sweaty troll alert
@ian82361not all them, seems you’ve never played the game.
We really need more people like Alex Mercer on the streets, his heroism and good nature is admirable and truly a standard for us all.
Ironically, Alex Mercer is a nicer person than the psychopath who created him. If Prototype got a movie, I could swear they'd pair him with a kid whod tell him he doesn't have to be evil or something like that, and he'd probably do it because he's like a lost puppy looking for approval.
It'd be like Berserk but in a modern setting lol
well the real alex that dont have to powers was a hmmmmmmmmmmmmm dude....the virus that take the shape of his personality and looks was a good human
@Catty_Love_Ice_Cream More like, started off with original sociopath Alex's personality, but then consumed so many different people to get their memories that he learned what it's like to have other emotions than hatred and entitlement, as well as empathy and compassion. And I love that he's unhappy about that, because now he has to deal with guilt and the desire to help people other than himself and Dana ^^
Too bad Prototype 2 took his character in the other direction and didn't bother to explain why. Hope you've read the comics, nerds!
@Megalomaniac_Trans_Lesbian i have read the comic and alex mercer is my the favorite character of all time i really just wish him to come back
loved this game as a kid. My parents wouldn't let me play GTA because it was too violent / adult themed... But they let me play this ....
How the hell
Wtf?
hahahah XD
@starboi141 there's an easy explanation, society is regimented to be more accepting of brutal violence as opposed to nudity or swearing. That's why movies with endless killing can still get a pg13 rating, but 1 f bomb or tiddy and you got yourself an R rating
BRO SAME LMAOOO
Crackdown, Infamous, Just Cause, and Prototype were the birth of a whole new sub genre of action games. Traversal Action. The traversal mechanics play such a huge role in those series. Wish there were more like them.
Classic Assassin's Creed also had great traversal
@WideOldDannowadays not even close bro, maybe back in the day
@WideOldDannot really, the assasins creed games were always clunky slow climbing. Nowhere near the same level as this games traversal.
If anything they're even better now. I've loved them since the first one but only recently learned a few tricks to make traversal more fun and efficient. Classic AC(the first 4) had the best movement.
dying light deserves a spot too...simply because there's literally a type of fighting in that game titled "parkour-combat" so you literally are playing with the traversal there..
I love Prototype, really hope for a third. Hell even a reboot with actual side missions and not just those silly challenges
Honestly, I would prefer a Soulstorm style reboot where the first game is canon but the second is being rebooted. Heller doesn't work as a protagonist in a game about gory spectacle and there was a massive number of plot holes. Also, there was already a sequel hook in the first game and the second game ignored that. Yeah, it was more subtle, being in the web of intrigue rather than an after-credits cutscene but still.
@DarthMcDoomington IF they actually make a sequel i really hope they pick up Pariah and project Crusade. Especially because Pariah was indirectly mentioned multiple times in both games.
@DarthMcDoomington
Plot holes?
@nugget6820 Super soldiers (big power armoured guys that fight you unarmed) were already mass produced in Prototype 1, in Prototype 2 there's a string of missions revolving around preventing the mass production of super soldiers despite the fact it's ALREADY HAPPENED. You could say it's because they're a new version but then where the fuck are the originals?!
Also, the fact they rely on a fucking comic to explain Mercer's MASSIVE change in personality is just lazy.
Heller's also much more heroic than Mercer, so every time you mass murder civilians (and the ability to be a mass murdering sociopath with god-like power is one of Prototype's selling points) it basically creates a plot hole..
@DarthMcDoomington
"First Outbreak
In 2008, nearly 161 individuals were injected with a variant of the virus, and exhibited no negative side effects at all, but over time, their cellular structure was capable of regenerating much faster than the average human's. In addition to accelerated healing, or perhaps because of it, they also gained incredible strength, speed and endurance, as well near-limitless stamina."
Direct quote from the wiki, I guess we wiped out the super soldiers and they had no need for them until the second outbreak, and by then the black watch had better tech and upgraded them.
“No not the kill team, they kill people” such a futurama/simpsons thing to say, I love it. I’m about to give these classics another run through.
god I remember in the sequel just disguising as a blackwatch or army soldier and running in with a gun to help other soldiers, then when my gun ran out of ammo go bare knuckle brawling. It always was hilarious how they weren't questioning what made it possible for this average joe soldier to beat zombies and hunters to death with his bare hands.
They actually do sometimes but not during in combat. I remember this one time when I was parkouring over the tanks and one of the marines said someting, although I can't remember what exactly the soldier said but I think its something like "Is that really one of our guys".
I loved picking up one of the massive missile launcher that was designed to be on the back a tank not carried to take out the giant tentacle monster and the soldier were amazed.
Just casually mentioned that I had been working out and a lot of protein lol.
Surprisingly they bought it lol.
Can't believe my dad allowed me to play this.
Absolutely LOVE the villain speech to Jerry. And the entire time I could only imagine an episode of Seinfeld with Kramer making that pitch to Jerry.
Both one and two were just a ton of fun, angsty to eleven but still, nothing like it at the time. Reminded me a lot of that Hulk intimate destruction I think it was, just pure power fantasy. Edit: ultimate. Ultimate distruction lolol. Intimate distruction sounds like that one gif... Lol
Same devs that made prototype made the hulk game.
@thebiggestpanda1 oh well there ya go! Well done didn't know that, cheers!
I would still argue that there's nothing really like it still.
No idea what gif you’re referring to
hulk could intimately destroy anything he wants if we talkin facts
I just want to say, the running and automatically vaulting over stuff when running full speed in this game was so freaking awesome! it felt so smooth yet so awesome at the same time. I really felt like the movement system on how Alex vaulted and freerunned over everything and how smooth it felt controlling it was ahead of its time. Too bad this system was not build further upon.
Also running around the rooftops as an old man never gets old!
I personally loved activating the shield power and just bitch checking everything out of my way. Good times.
The camera is the only thing holding it back. A little more control and a wider FOV + more distance would be amazing
7:52 me being a vigilante with performance anxiety
When I was younger I always found that in the harder difficulties there’s a massive difficulty curve near the end, especially the final boss. I remember it talking me like a whole day to beat, although I was like 11
Prototype and InFamous were two of my favorite titles back in the day. They did the open-world formula real good and the vast amount of abbilities you had made them even better.
Though it was only for a very short time, I remember people pitting Prototype and Infamous back then, people arguing which was was the better open-world action game. Simpler times. Now both games are abandoned and forgotten, at least Infamous lived on a bit longer.
@Razgriz_01 I'd love to play the old InFamous 1 and 2 in PC but a remaster is never gonna come out sadly q.q
@elnogal9298 Yeah, there's simply no interest or demand. Best we can do is through emulators. RPCS3 seems to be the one, though I'm not sure how stable Infamous is on it yet.
@Razgriz_01 not stable yet but they are making some progress
The jerry part unlocked a memory and had me crying laughing. My favorite thing about this game was throwing ppl off tall buildings or morphing into them
Who doesn't love doing that
This series needs to make a come back, imagine what crazy shit you could do with modern software.
It'd certainly give Doom Eternal a run for it's money in the rip and tear department.
Hell yeah! Time that they destroy it with an unfinished, buggy re-release. They should keep their hands away from that series. They work and that's enough.
@Lycanthro-Punk
Thing is, the first game no longer works on some modern machines.
@Dandroid_1 I played and finished both games on 360 in the past weeks. No framerate issues, no bugs, no nothing. I actually almost only play 360 titles. Don't know why everything needs to be on new systems. Theres the Biohazard Bundle for the new consoles, but they are cheap cash grabs. So you can actually play them on new consoles, but i heard there are horrible performance issues. Would be cooler if they just made it backwards compatible.
@Lycanthro-Punk
I'm exclusively pc, still got my og save file from back in the day, just transferred to newer hardware.
It works on some versions of Windows 10 but requires bug fixing that not everyone will know how to do, I don't like consoles because the cost of continually renewing XBL/PSN ends up costing much more long term, than the initial price of a pc.
@Dandroid_1 You don't need XBL or PSN to update consoles and games. Just a internet connection. Buying games for 360 in the latest versions means you got all patches already on the CD and in my 15 years of experience with these games, you didn't needed patching at all. I could finish every single game without problems, except old Fallout Games. They only run good on X Box One and Series S/X. You only need XBL/PSN for multiplayer and i don't like multiplayer, i'm a single player only guy. I was jobless for almost all my life, only worked for year or two and i could have never bought and maintained a PC or be able to play my old stuff on new PC's. Consoles are in the end way cheaper and easier.
My old 360 runs for a long time now and i even got a backup console for cheap. So that's the next 15-20 years old and good games for me. Almost every new game on One didn't interested me enough to buy it. The edgy, dark and gory games seem to be vanished. I love the Dead Space titles, Prototype Games, Kane and Lynch 2, Spec Ops The Line, Metro 2033 + Last Light, Army of Two, Fear Series, Max Payne etc. They don't produce stuff like that anymore.
I was worried that it was just childhood nostalgia that makes me remember Prototype in good light and that it wasn't actually good, so I'm glad to see people still enjoying it more than a decade later
prototype and prototype 2 were my all time favorite games growing up loved them both so much was so sad to hear they weren't continuing the series.
OKAY! The fact that you tossed somebody a far distance off a skyscraper and can still find their body and it doesn't disappear despite all the NPCs on screen is mind-blowing to me I mean it still disappears when it reaches the draw distance limit, but you can still find it.
I freaking love you man, playing all my childhood games
I think there are a little bit too many of us who played an 18+ game like this one when we were teens. Other people be like: "I caught cool and goofy looking monsters with a plastic ball and'd let them fight for me in tournaments." We be like: "Ähem yeah so that one time i bombed the Central Park into nonexistance with a tank i stole from a military outpost after eating and mutilating every solider stationed there....."
One of my all time favorite games from one of my all time favorite RUclipsrs! Thank you so much for the content!
grabbing ppl and taking them up a building and chucking them is the best
We really need a Prototype and Infamous crossover where Alex Mercer is the villain. You get to choose between the two and they have seperate campaigns which are connected (sort of like transformers)
14:47 "After being bitten by some radioactive scientist, I've become something of a scientist myself."
Kev, 2022
I still remember the rivalry Prototype fans and infamous fans had when both originals came out
6:47 Jesus I’m surprised the body stayed loaded in.
This game & the second one are quite possibly the most powerful I've ever felt in a game wish they'd remake these
6:35 *sigh* dammit Jerry...
Shield power + running through a crowd = the best fun a guy could ever have.
game like this nowadays would be so controversial
"I was bit by a radioactive scientist..." - Kevduit
Kevduit: the guy the hero needs
Clever
Fun fact: the studio that made this game also the same one that made Simpsons Hit and Run. No I’m not making this up.
Prototype is one of my all time favourite sandbox games , rly sad we never got a third sequel
Imagine a prototype 1 remake
Kevduit - “I think this is rated E”
10:25 😂 just that line alone isn’t something you think about when your playing a mutant creature
Prototype had one of the coolest powers in all of gaming
This franchise NEEDS TO COME BACK!!
The Prototype series perfectly married the feeling of being a near god with great atmosphere and an enjoyable story. One of my favorite franchises of all time. Not to mention they made a sequel even better than the original game.
It was better? I guess I should give it a try then.
Prototype 2 better than Prototype 1? Ehhhhh. gameplay wise sure, but the story was absolutely horrid, the main character was an annoying dumbass and they ruined Alex Mercer making him a really weird standard bad guy while on the first game he was a much more complex character
I don't agree, prototype 2, did add some nicer mechanics and a more inviting atmosphere but as for the story is was beyond shit. Prototype 1 will always be better, in my opinion for that reason. They could have done so much with how prototype 1 ended instead they messed up the whole franchise
Im sad that there's only 2 games. But at the same time I'm glad that there's only 2 games, since this series would've gone downhill in terms of quality, story, etc if the devs or company kept crapping then out
Y'all sure the only reason P2 is bad to some folks isnt because the story was more focused on a African American dude?
the rag-dolls that happen when you pick someone up and start running around makes me crack up every time
Man he went straight into the super villain role.
Infamous and prototype in summer 2009... good old times
I played Prototype 2 with my cousin a lot when it came out, and one of the funniest memories I have is singing "I wear your grandpa's skin" un the tune of thrift shop by macklemore.
Theres no way you haven't played this game before... I played this on the 360 back in the days
What I really like about Prototype is the feeling that you're this unstoppable force that eats and kills everything, it kinda makes you feel you're powerful and yet the missions balances it out by giving out interesting and hard challenges, yes you're powerful but one wrong move and it could be your last
I swear Kev is more funny than majority of comedians out there. I laughed hard not even 5 minutes into the video
The way Jerry screams no when Kevduit tells him to fly was absolutely hilarious. Just priceless.
8:35 lol bro that was funny
The amount of hours I just spend running, jumping, flying then super hero landing is ungodly haha
14:40 I mean…rather accurate for some Uncle Ben’s out in the Spiderverse.
Shifting into the armor form and just running around the city plowing through people was one of the most fun things to do in this game.
8:55 bro just drop kicked an assault chopper😂💪🏽
This is pretty much a Venom game
I remember every day after school me & my friends used to go play this at the arcade because we didn't have our own consoles
Remember the hulk game made by same company? It was so fun!!
The intro level was some of the funnest shit I had the experience of playing. I still remember it to this day how fucking fun it was.
I love how absolutely everybody who plays this game, upon learning that you can carry people around, immediately goes straight for the tallest building to throw them off. Best species 10/10.
Totally me as a superhero.
The villain: Who are you?
Me: "I'm the sav- I'm the city- I'm the hero that- that- that- the hero needs... The city needs."
It not fair for little one jerry
-kevduit
I like to imagine Alex’s shape shifting is more crunchy, like the necromorph transformations, instead of him just being made of putty.
this game should have a part 3
I remember being sad I wouldn't be able to play Infamous. Then I got prototype and I forgot about infamous
You just unlocked many fond memories for me thank you.
It's good to see you enjoying the gem that is this game. Wait till you get the thermo tank, you'll love that
I never thought I would hear the words "catheter whip" in my life
you should definitely make a part two and play prototype 2
I like how your saying cmon zombies while punching random civillians to death
"Why didn't I just use that the whole time?" Yeah you'd almost think the different mutations were made so you could have different approaches to different types of enemies, like the tutorial straight up told you with the hammerfists on the tanks and all that.
well besidise the fact that blade arm is literally usefull against EVERYTHING minus range
No just barehanded punch the thing to explosion
Yeah the guy plays like he'd skip every tutorial and then doesnt understand why he finds it hard
@noobguy9973 I don't know man, looks to me like Cross hyperarmored through it and kept attacking. I played the hell out of this game as a teen and the claws are the best overall, but this game was made in a time where different powers were actually made to be useful
@demyx0067 ohh no Cross played like absolute shit no doubt about that. All ım saying is that blades (and whip for range) in my opinion are the only arms power you need because it has good range , potential for AOE and it even cut through tanks and armor while no enemies having strengths and counters to it (from what ı remember) unlike in Prototype 2.
i like how i hear conker themes in the background whenever i watch kevduits content
Prototype 1 is the only one I count as canon and damn it's good.
"I DO, IT'S CALLED PROTOTYPE 1" LMAOO
Love seeing all of these older games played again, loved this game when it came out. It hurts to see these graphics now when I used to think these were the best.
There is no boss in prototype. The boss is you and you're a raid boss
One of my all time favorites and is in need of a reboot or sequel.
this is my first time watching this guy and hes hillarious
I just really like your content. A mix of games I grew up on and games that I forgot how much I wanted to play.
6:20 Its funny that you mention Spiderman because Prototype was originally supposed to be a Spiderman game.
I love this power fantasy of a game and i’m glad that you one of my favorite youtubers is playing it.
This game and Infamous blew me away
3:53 Very apt Naruto comment when that VA is Sasuke's English dub VA pretty sure lol
Yep its Yuri Lowenthal
I fuckin LOVE. “Prototype 2”. Goddamn, it’s what I’ve been looking for in a Game. Reminds me as a VERY Violent “Hulk Ultimate Destruction”.
This game and The Darkness were the first games I had when I got my first ps3 and I still play it sometimes, Prototype is so amazing and fck Activision for killing it, this Franchise had such an huge potential
Something about that "Eeew." when Kev is looking at the Web is hilarious to me. XD
Jesus Christ what a masterpiece of a game
If activision could make a prototype 3 instead of a cod 463 that’d be great
"I can't choose hard difficulty?"
Oh if only he knew what it would come
Wait till he learns about the Pasty ability...and then the level up version of it....so many fond memories of doing that.
Second, and I can’t believe your just playing this now….it was sooo good
Still want a remake of this game!
Imagine the brutality and gore in the generation!!
Damn I love this game
If you liked this you should play Spiderman Web of Shadows, one word, Symbiot Black Cat. So good it counts as one word... Aparently
I was an itty-bitty boy when this game came out
Ah yes, beautiful nostalgia.
Personally prefer Prototype 2. The progression and upgrading system was better
I thought I liked 2 but idk why, but Heller just felt slower than Mercer and it killed my vibe. Seriously don’t know why it bothered me so much but it did.
@BonzerMrT To me, Mercer felt clunky and the controls were really weird when it came to air gliding. Heller on the other hand, was much more fluid with a better movement system.
@BonzerMrT he is slower than alex they also removed the parkour move for heller so that might also be contributing to what is bothering you with his movement
Everything was better in prototype 2
Except the combat and variety of it
All of the powers just have 3 fucking attacks
The thing i love about prototype 1 the most is how you could unlock all these nearly useless combos and pointless attacks and just play around with them
Liked 2 but it was a step back especially without the day night cycle
Oh shit this game came out on my birthday
When I was younger I was watching my uncle play this game. I walked into the living room because I heard him laughing hysterically for at least 5 minutes before I walked in just to see what was so funny. He was just picking up civilians and charging up his throw just to throw them into the side of a building…
I'm sure at least 60% of anyone that played Protoype did that for hours.
prototype was the game we did not know we needed as teens lol. still played this at 23 just to replay it.
