Prototype revealed for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC

Sierra Entertainment and Radical Entertainment have just revealed Prototype, a brand spanking-new game lined up for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. And from the screenshots and artwork below, it’s looking damn pretty. Think GTA IV meets F.E.A.R. meets The Agency meets The Crossing. Well, you might want to take that with a grain of salt. It’s too early to tell anything just yet.

The game is set in modern day Liberty City New York City, where a secret war is being waged behind the curtains of daily life. Our main man is Alex Mercer, your not-so-everyday-hero with a mysterious past and a score to settle. Conspiracies abound the bustling city and his past just might affect the very fabric of human existence.

See, Mercer’s got shape-shifting abilities up his arsenal (note second screenshot below: impaled enemies, deathly spikes exploding from the asphalt, utter carnage, and all that) and can steal the abilities from his downed foes. And as Radical Entertainment president Kelly Zmak put it:

Radical Entertainment set out to create the most dynamic video game character ever imagined. From free-form movement to over-the-top combat action; Prototype can climb or wall-run across any surface, jump 30 stories high, and destroy anything that crosses his path.

Promising intense action aside, the developers have designed the game to be open-world and is currently slated to be released across the three platforms come summer of 2008.
