In a world of reboots and sequels, I’d love a studio to have a crack at this. Give us a third game in all its shape shifting, civilian chewing, building jumping glory.

The ball is in Microsoft’s court for that one
I know 2 was a bust compared to 1, but that’s mostly because 1 was a masterpiece!
I loved both of them though, still do, so I would certainly buy a 3rd if it ever came to fruition.
Unfortunately “superpower” games apparently don’t do well enough (compared to generic shooter)
While I love the original. I very much dislike the sequel. So give me more of the first and less “our hero is now a douche” and I’m game.
Everything doesn’t need endless sequels
That would be great. Love the series.
I was hyped for Prototype 2, but it kept crashing in cutscenes and I eventually stopped trying to play it.
What about your first born son? Would you give that for prototype 3?
I mentioned this in a sub yesterday. This game was great. I would def like to see them at least remaster the first. I think “simple open world” concepts are missing from a lot of todays games.
That and Infamous, please give me more!!
I’d opt for a Venom game with similar mechanics.
I just hope 3 revolves more around Pariah.
Man I would give op’s first born son for another prototype.
I’m afraid we would get a typical game like all AC, FarCry, etc games where it would be collectibles, area unlocks with repetitive missions 🙁
Now you know a fraction of my pain for Bloodborne PC port 🙁
**For those wondering what happened to this IP**:
It was developed by Radical Entertainment (*the same studio that did The Simpsons: Hit & Run and Hulk: Ultimate Destruction*).
Radical was [acquired](https://www.gamesindustry.biz/vivendi-universal-announces-vu-games-acquisition-of-radical-entertainment) by Vivendi in 2005, who would later go on to [merge](https://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/03/technology/03activision.html) with Activision in 2008. Under Activision, Radical were able to release two Prototype games, but the sequel was [deemed](https://metro.co.uk/2012/04/30/prototype-2-sells-less-than-original-in-uk-chart-debut-408110/amp/) a commercial failure.
At that point, Radical was pretty much [gutted](https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/06/29/activision-shuts-down-radical-entertainment-after-lackluster-prototype-2-sales/), but narrowly escaped total closure thanks to the 10-year deal that Activision signed with Bungie. A smaller team of remaining employees were assigned to be a support developer for Destiny and told that they would no longer be making their own games. The Prototype franchise has been left dormant ever since.
As part of this change, Radical Entertainment was absorbed into “*Activision Central Technology*”, a [team](https://research.activision.com) that does technical research and development for the publisher’s various studios.
They’ve gone by various names in the years since depending on the source; A.C.T. Vancouver, A.C.T. Radical, etc. Microsoft even still called them “Radical Entertainment” in an official statement when the ABK acquisition was completed.
If reports are true, by the time that deal was closed, the studio had been reduced to a mere handful of employees. It’s a miracle that they’re still operating. For what it’s worth, they’re currently hiring for a [technical producer](https://activision.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CentralTech/job/Vancouver/Senior-Technical-Producer_R023820), so it could be that those claims were false.
Even tho 2 wasn’t my favorite I would still play a 3rd game.
What people would do for Titanfall 3
The first one is good. The second one is just milking it.
what I wouldn’t give for prototype 2.
It’s region locked on steam.
Infinity ward is working on a single player RPG and Activision hold the IP still.. so it’s a match made heaven
Apparently theres a rumor that Sony cancelled on a Prototype X Infamous spinoff and instead made Concord. But idk how true that is. But knowing Sony and how they cancelled the Multiplayer Spiderman game. Among others. I kinda believe it. Once again, thats just what I read so idk how true that is.
Should we sign a petition for this
What i wouldn’t give to turn my hand into a badass blade and cut some fruits like im playing fruit ninja
Yes! Loved that series.
For real. Why has no one tried to get this IP rebooted? Give the people what they want, dammit!
Loved it. Would be awesome 👏🏼
Or at least give us the first 2 on pc 😭
TIL People dont like the second game. The second game was excellent and made the first one look like a beta product. Would love a third game
