Bad-ass is your answer. Prototype is great an Activision wants everybody to know it. They’re newly released E3 trailer titled “Flight of the Hammerfist” gives you reasons to check out Prototype. Everyone say’s its great and you got some great music to get you in the mood to watch, too.

Read on for the trailer for that bad-ass Prototype game.

Activision’s upcoming Radical-developed mutation of an open-world action game has been given a solid release date today. Prototype will ship to North American retailers on June 9th and in Europe on June 5th.

Prototype is set in New York City after Alex Mercer wakes up on an experimentation table. With lost memories and new shape-shifting abilities, Alex sets out to the city, consuming people, trying to regain memories to find out what’s went wrong with him and who turned him into this creature.

Along with the release date, a new trailer and screenshots have been released.

Hit our gallery for screenshots. Check the video out here.

Sure, all the cool things you can do in Prototype look awesome, but how’s the situation when it comes down the story? You’re Alex Mercer, who wakes up in a morgue with scientists cutting him open in an autopsy. However, Alex has no memories, so he’s off to find out who did this to him and why he can do all the amazing things he can do. He is able to consume people and gain their memories that will tie together like a puzzle.

Watch the trailer for the full scoop.

Prototype is set to release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in June. So why should you buy it? Well, Activision felt the need to highlight the (awesome) reasons that gamers should buy the game. For some of the highlights, you can shape-shift your ass off, run throughout New York City doing some extreme parkour (whilst throwing cars at the same time), and consume and become enemies.

We’ve compiled the list for those too lazy to watch the video. Read on for the list and the trailer.

#10 – Run and Gun Firepower
#9 – Projectile Dysfunction
#8 – Pwn Everyone and Everything

Activision have released some brand new screenshots of Prototype in light of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Radical Entertainment-developed game is looking superb, but the what’s pondering my mind is this: inFAMOUS or Prototype? Such a hard choice, so I’ll pick both. Get the new shots at the gallery.

A newly released trailer from Activision at the Consumer Electronics Show shows one badass game, Prototype, that is. We see our man Alex Mercer wielding blades, claws, saying that he can basically “be anything”. The trailers awesome, check it at the jump.

That’s right, that countdown timer from the official Prototype site we told you about a bit ago is actually a countdown to the Consumer Electronics Show starting tomorrow. There, we are guessing that Prototype will make a big return as it slipped off the radar last year leaving us hungry for more. The show starts tomorrow! Is anybody here gonna be in Vegas?

Over at the official Prototype website, there’s a countdown with just about 19 days remaining. Our only guess could be a big comeback for the game at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas starting right around the time the countdown ends.

Along with the two new preview videos from yesterday, Sierra have also released five brand new screenshots of their upcoming open-city destruction title, Prototype. It’s sure looking good. View the screenshots at the gallery.

Hey, look it’s Prototype, yay! We haven’t heard from this game in quite a while. Apparently, it’s making a return at this years Consumer Electronics Show as these two new videos have surfaced with about four seconds of brand new gameplay each that look magnificent. Now we’ll just wait for CES ‘09 for the full length gameplay videos. View the second video at the jump.

In March, Benninson said that the multiplayer had been cut from the game.

“We’re trying to create the best possible single player experience,” the producer stated. “It’s an origin story and if we are successful, we’re hoping it’s the start of a franchise.

“But to do this, you’ve got to establish a great core single player experience. Having said that, we are still evaluating multiplayer to see if we can make it work in our development schedule.”

More months to work on the game means more months for new features. We hope online play makes it in.
