On the other hand, Prototype 2 suffered from quite a bit of screen tearing when it first launched on Xbox 360 compared to PS3. This thankfully carries over into the remastered version. It’s especially disappointing when you consider that for how bad both games perform that the Prototype remaster still runs better than Prototype 2.Ĭould it get worse? Of course it can! On playing the previous gen versions for Xbox 360 and PS3, you’ll notice a distinct lack of screen tearing in the first game.
THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN PC FULL 1080P
For crying out loud, Devil May Cry 4 released in 2008, making it older than both Prototype games, and its recently released Special Edition looks far better on PS4 and Xbox One with a more stable frame rate.Īnd for all the hype around “full HD rendering”, putting both games at 1080p resolution (but keeping the frame rate at 30 FPS), there’s very little else by way of enhancements. Yet here we are with frame rates in the mid 20s for both the PS4 and Xbox One versions. Though it has better lighting and physics than its predecessor, it’s still three years old. Prototype 2’s remaster doesn’t fare any better.
Why isn’t it locked, especially when the effects and textures don’t look all that improved in the remaster? It becomes especially bad during scenes with lots of action since things seem to slow down far too often. Instead, the frame rate drops to the mid 20s. This should naturally mean that the frame rate stays constant, especially when you consider how much more powerful the Xbox One is compared to previous gen consoles. Take the first Prototype which runs at 30 frames per second with adaptive V-sync enabled.
And by that we mean the Prototype: Biohazard Bundle is one big disaster after another. If you head over to Activision’s blog, you’ll find the publisher promising “full HD rendering, improved frame rate, and higher resolution textures and effects.” However, impressions coming out that day indicated that both games didn’t quite meet those promises. It was simply released one day on an unsuspecting populace, like any true biohazard would. The release of Prototype: Biohazard Bundle was odd enough. This brings us to the awful “remaster” that Activision has pumped out for both games on current gen consoles. From a gameplay and scale perspective, it wasn’t all that different from the original Prototype but it still had its share of problems on previous generation hardware. These changes were apparent in the lighting system and the physics. Even Prototype 2, which wasn’t quite as good, was memorable for the small changes it added. Granted, the overall open world aspect wasn’t revolutionary but it was a fun take on the superhuman/sandbox genre that many developers couldn’t seem to quite nail the formula for. Developed by Radical Entertainment, the first game delivered an immense scale of chaos and destruction, granting players incredible powers and a whole city to unleash them on.
Could there have been budget constraints? Was the initial design messed up and flawed? Did the story ultimately lead nowhere? Did the developer hype it up too much and simply overestimated the game’s potential impact on the world? Was the initial graphical vision simply beyond the gaming hardware of this generation? These, and many other questions, easily plague one’s mind when dealing with a disappointing release.īut those questions never really applied to Prototype or its sequel. Every once and a while, there comes a game which makes you question a developer’s sanity.
