Prototype 100% focused on single-player

Prototype - Image 1


While lots of people want multiplayer modes for their games, sometimes having only single-player has its benefits. For Radical Entertainment, it's the promise of giving one heck of a solo campaign to be reckoned with. And for Prototype lead character Alex Mercer, what with his whole arsenal of powers, that's more than doable.

Senior producer Tim Bennison talked much about this line of direction they're taking Prototype, a game he says is "100% focused on a great single-player experience." He continues:

The game is an origin story that weaves a government conspiracy around the main character of Alex Mercer, and we really need to get those elements perfect.


The biggest benefit of focusing purely on single-player is the teamÂ’s ability to really maximize the over-the-top powers and abilities of AlexÂ’s shape-shifting and combat skills.


The first time a player throws a corrupt Blackwatch soldier into the blades of an attack chopper, we think theyÂ’ll have a big smile on their face.


Oh, I'm smiling already. Judging from the past couple trailers we've seen, Alex Mercer's got enough oomph to fight an entire army.

Now, this is something Bennison's actually already somewhat explained last year when he confirmed that Prototype wouldn't come with multiplayer. At least now, what with the game's release looming ever so close, he's willing to part with more details.

Radical Entertainment and Sierra Entertainment's Prototype is scheduled to be released this June for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

The last games I played that were single player only were Fallout 3, Bioshock, and Mass Effect. Those games were all amazing without multiplayer, hopefully Prototype is great too

man fallout 3, bioshock and mass effect are the in my opinion the best games to keep you busy it pays for itself. I must of played bioshock 7 times and fallout 3 three times with both DLC anchorage and the pitt, mass effect is kinda like fallout 3 but in space but great game just purchased it for 20 bucks and worth it. I know all my buddies are getting this instead of infamous cause it reminds them of force unleashed and PSI OPS.

I hate how a lot of reviewers list not having online multiplayer as a negative and bring a review score down. I don't know when that became a requirement but some games are just better off that way. (look at Metroid Prime 2 or FEAR). But if a game is going to focus solely on the single player aspects the storyline better be damn incredible or at least be great and have a ton of replay value. If I like what I see with this game once its out then I'll probably get it legit, if not then I'll get it pirated (lulz)
