On 10. August, Sierra Entertainment announced “a completely new type of open-world game” that will “raise the bar” for the genre. Prototype is being developed by in-house studio Radical Entertainment for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC and is slated for a summer 2008 release. Prototype follows Alex Mercer, a man with with shape-shifting abilities, pointed ears, and woolly feet as he unravels a haunting conspiracy about his past, fighting a secret war that could destroy New York City and mankind.
Early-morning grumpiness aside, the shape-shifting ability does sound pretty cool — a sort of Crackdown with Blue Magic. Apparently, Mercer has the ability to steal the skills and powers of the enemies he defeats, a modern day Viking drinking the blood of the fallen.
Here are some pictures from the game.
