Prototype gets June 9th release date

Activision put out a press release this morning, detailing the US and UK release dates for Prototype, and what fans can find on the updated official site, including this intro cinematic.

London, UK - 8th April, 2009 - No conspiracy here... we promise... Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) confirmed today that the long-awaited open-world action thriller video game PROTOTYPE will ship in European territories on June 5 and to North American retailers on June 9, arriving in stores shortly thereafter. Fans of the infamous Alex Mercer should also be sure to check out the newly updated official game website located at www.prototypegame.com to gain access and view newly added game information and content, including the first half of PROTOTYPE's must-see intro cinematic.

PROTOTYPE lets gamers feel the power of being the ultimate shape-shifting weapon. You are the PROTOTYPE: Alex Mercer - a genetically mutated man without memory, armed with amazing shape-shifting abilities, hunting to discover what created you and determined to make those responsible pay. As Alex, gamers tear through a densely populated contemporary New York City moving with Parkour-style fluidity, consuming anybody that gets in their way... assuming their physical form, memories and abilities. Fueled by a three-way war between Alex, the Blackwatch (military) and a viral outbreak known as the Infected, players venture into a deep, dark conspiracy 40 years in the making!

PROTOTYPE is currently rated "RP" (Rating Pending) by the BBFC with an expected "18" rating and will be available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Games for Windows and PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system.

THE VERDICT by Andy Burt Andy Burt's Avatar Now we just have to wait and see which next-gen open-world game will take the cake this year: Prototype, or inFamous? Which one do you think will come out on top?

Jury is out on this one. I will have to play them before I pass judgement on which one is better or if either one or both are any good at all.
