Prototype is Done!
A ton has happened in the month and a half since my last post, the most significant for me: Prototype has gone Gold! We sent our first attempts at certification (builds of the game which need to be tested for bugs and compliance to certain rules) to Sony and Microsoft late last month, and managed to pass all of them on the first pass! That's pretty impressive from my experience, and it really shows how solid the game has become. I guess an extra year of development might have helped a little...Tons a press has gone out as well. Too much for me to remember actually, but here are my favorites:
First off we have released the opening cinematic of the game. It obviously all prerendered but does an amazing job of capturing what the game is all about.
This trailer, Breed Something New, is probably my favorite trailer yet. I didn't actually like it the first time I saw it, but it's grown on me.
The box art for the game has been released, I really love what they did. This actually came out of Activision (although it used pieces of art done at our studio) and I think that's maybe what we needed to get something a little outside the box; at least as far as it's concerned compared to everything else released so far for the game. It's really nice to see something that isn't black, brown, or 'grungy'.
And to finish it off, some fluff from IGN: The Ten Commandments of Prototype
