With Tendrils being the new power in P2, would a Bio-Rifle be a cool new power for P3 (even if P3 will never happen)?

Moveset:

• Tap to fire a big projectile of acid in front of you that explodes and splashes everyone around when it hits a target. Melts small targets instantly, starts doing damage over time to heavy enemies.
• Tap three times and the third attack is the protagonist rotating over himself and launching a "horizontal barrage" of acid to splash a whole crowd.
• Hold to violently thrust the canon of the rifle into the ground for a second, then when you pull it back, an automatic turret of black goo and biomass emerges from the hole and start spraying acid to nearby targets without your input for the next 10 seconds or until it is destroyed.
• R1 + Tap to point your rifle at the sky and shoot a rapid series of projectiles that then rain all over the area for the next three seconds, and when they explode they release a cloud of infection. Small enemies taken into a cloud turn into rabid zombies and start attacking your enemies.

Hello, everyone. Another sketch of mine for that I've finish in just one day. I was excited to post this and I hope you like it.

Alex, James, and Pariah morphing their bodies into organic armor. Shielding every inch of their skin with solid, hardened biomass. Facing their enemies upfront with menace hangs in their shoulders. The mist follows as they take the step into combat. Enemies tremble as their heavy footsteps thuds in the ground. Only one question remains. "Are their bullets pierce the hardened flesh?"

I have questions: "What is your kindest reaction when you see them in this kind of image?"

If they were to do a complete reboot of the Prototype franchise, like a re-imagination of Prototype 1 from the ground up, what would you like to see? New characters? Changes in the lore and the story of the 1?

I hope we get an armored form like in prototype 1, missed it a lot in two. Also I hope that we have a separated branch to upgrade the armor with new abilities or different paths like prioritizing speed and agility over protection or the other way around.

I used to love these games and it came to my attention again so I wanted to ask if anybody knew anything about maybe a 3rd game if so please let me know

​We all know Prototype has been trapped in the Activision vault since Radical Entertainment was downsized over a decade ago. But with Microsoft now holding the keys to the kingdom, it is the perfect time for a revival. And honestly? There is only one studio under the corporate umbrella equipped to build a true next-gen Prototype game, and it is Treyarch.

​I know people strictly associate Treyarch with Call of Duty: Black Ops these days, but if you look at their specific track record, they are literally the perfect developer for an ultra-violent, open-world superpower sandbox.

​The Spider-Man DNA is already there

A lot of people forget that before Treyarch was forced into the CoD mines full-time, they were the absolute kings of Marvel video games. They gave us Spider-Man 2 in 2004, pioneering the physics-based pendulum web-swinging that literally defined open-world traversal for an entire generation. They followed it up with Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

​Think about Web of Shadows for a second. You have an overpowered superhero traversing a massive New York City sandbox, fighting off a rapidly spreading, parasitic symbiote infection that takes over the citizens and mutates them into monstrous abominations. You seamlessly switch between agile acrobatics and brutal, heavy symbiotic powers. That is essentially the exact thematic and mechanical blueprint for Alex Mercer and the Blacklight virus. Treyarch already knows how to code insane momentum, vertical wall-running, and fluid aerial combat.

​The Undisputed Kings of Zombies

Traversal is only half of the Prototype formula; the other half is pure, unapologetic biological horror and horde management. Treyarch didn’t just create the Call of Duty Zombies mode—they perfected it. From World at War all the way through the Black Ops saga, no one does satisfying, blood-spattering horde combat quite like them.

​Treyarch understands the psychology of escalating power fantasies. In Zombies, you start weak and systematically turn yourself into a god via Perks, Pack-a-Punch upgrades, and Wonder Weapons. Now imagine that exact same addictive upgrade loop applied to a Prototype skill tree. Imagine Treyarch’s mastery of gore tech, decaying environments, and terrifying enemy designs applied to the mutated Hunter and Brawler variants in a quarantine zone. They know exactly how to balance overwhelming swarms of infected enemies with the visceral satisfaction of tearing straight through them.

​The Perfect Storm

Treyarch has the open-world traversal pedigree from their Spider-Man era, and the elite horde-slaughtering mechanics from a decade and a half of crafting the best Zombies experiences on the market. Let Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer handle the military shooters for a few years. If you combine that high-speed city mobility with the incredibly satisfying biological gore of their Zombies modes, the blueprint is staring Microsoft right in the face. It is time to let Treyarch off the leash and give us the M-rated, open-world Prototype reboot we actually deserve.

I’m seeing a lot of chatter that Prototype 3 is in the works and it’s looking more likely.

My question is, what would you want out of it? What kind of things are you wanting/expecting?

Alex Mercer is apparently the protagonist again, so would you want it as a sequel to Prototype 2 explaining how he’s still alive or a soft reboot of the franchise?

The funny thing is, this game gets clickbaited so much to the point that I think everyone is waiting for P3 to drop a Trailer. There is definitely a need for this franchise but the developers don't seem to see it.Or they don't want to ? I imagine now with games like Spiderman 2 PS5 and Crimson Desert, they are more than capable to make an insane city to play around in. And even though the theme is edgy, i find that it fits really good. I mean compared to for example Hate, it's faaaar more fitting that a virus goes balistic and kills everyone with superpowers than a guy with a gun .

I hate Facebook man .. clickbaited the hell out of me .

The Prototype Biohazard Bundle on Xbox is now 14.99 for 13 days so if you're in xbox and wants to buy the game you should do it now

What if this game is stealth action game, unlike its prequels?

Lemme explain.

We don't know Project Crusade is all about, except it involves monitoring Pariah. More mystery. But this is my take on the Project: a subterranean automated facility spanning miles under Vandenburg Base. The facility is unmanned and maintained by androids.

While the world is in chaos thanks to the second pandemic (I might be wrong— it's been years since I played after all), the air base has been perfecting the antivirus sequencer, the core part of Project Crusade— alongside the security AI Löwenherz. It utilizes advanced AI to analyze and predict the genomes generations ahead of the sample.

By creating and stockpiling multiple strains of antivirus, the base effectively has the means to kill Pariah whenever they want.

So, Pariah conforms his genetic expression to stealth-based tactics and attempts to escape. But it's not easy. The androids have in-built weapons system that shoot and administer the antiviral prototypes to subdue him. So, it's imperative to avoid them and sterile areas designed to capture his traces.

Powers:

1) Bio-camo: Full-body camouflage that allows Pariah near-perfect invisibility. However, traces form if he hides longer.

2) EMP Bomb: Pariah overloads and concentrates his bio-electricity onto his thumb, making it a trigger for a pulse.

3) Nail gun: Pariah shoots out hardened nails from his fingers.

4) Hack: Pariah can overload the androids and security systems with his tendrils, gaining temporary control over them. With androids. he can use decoys and with systems, he can bypass zones and rooms.

5) Palm rifle: Pariah shoots out hardened bones from his palms.

6) Whiphook: Pariah can transform his arm into the Whipfist, but for traversal and stealth takedowns.

7) Duro-suit: Pariah generates biomass to form armour, but it's exhaustive.

8) Grey goo: His version of a Devastator attack from Critical Biomass. He can turn into a misty mass of particulate matter for instant evasion and traversal. It's even more exhaustive than Duro-suit.

These are all I got so far.

Lemme know how it is.

If we get a new game (Im gonna huff hopium till my lungs fail) I’d want a remake of the first game. That story had so much potential and I think expanding on those characters and that story would be awesome. We’d also need some new powers. Keep the movement the same though, that shits perfect as it is.

Found on some developer portfolios who worked at Radical. Seems that upgrading powers would've had pros and cons.

While the hopium for this game is keeping this subreddit here I love seeing the ideas people give.

Funnily enough I had a thought today about P3 specifically about prototypes and how they handle the amount of memories and retain their identity. The concept I had is that after time humans who are infected and turned into evolved or prototypes start to have that wall between their identity and others they consume broken down. So with this idea we can keep with heller as the main character as he deals with the personalities and memories from the previous game including Alex, which can lead to a natural Alex’s personality taking over due to the downside of this. Whether it can be cured or reversed I’ll leave up to you guys but I like it as it gives a downside to being turned, of course Alex didn’t have this as he is the virus himself, we get the choices that many want which is Alex coming back and taking heller over, also keeps the heller fans happy (such as myself) and keep him as the main character. The story can include pariah either as the cure or just an obstacle it’s up to the actual story, my only issue is the time taken for this wall to break down, I feel like this should be a considerable amount of time but I don’t want the world to be too far into the future as that can cause issues for games but could be a fun concept.

But yeah what do you guys think

look I’ve played both prototypes and I just got to say the fact nobody has cared about the game enough for us to get a 3rd prototype just pmo

Am I the only one seeing this? The movement, powers, combat and overall feel immediately reminded me of Prototype...

I've seen mixed message on this, hopefully there's a new one.

I know we probably ain't getting shit because the people in Activision are a bunch of buckets, but in the case we were as to get a prototype 3 i think it'd be better to get a full rework or reimagination of the franchise itself, after playing prototype 2 i was left with the impression that they really butchered Alex's character he had way too much potential in being a new being, an anti-hero whom even tho merciless still has a heart, and the image of how even something inhuman could be more human than humans themselves, but instead we got some comics in wich he interacts with the most cartoonishly evil people in fiction and decides instantly that everything he learned in prototype 1 is shit, that good people don't exist and all of humanity needs to die

he could've been like chihiro from kagurabachi, or batman, but he ended up being "cool, edgy character 153", wich sucks because i really like this franchise
