(PSN)MoRockaPDX Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 So in 2009 Radical Entertainment and Activision released a game called Prototype. It features a plague that transforms people into weaponized zombies and turns the protagonist, Alex Mercer into a ever more changing and powerful monster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_(video_game) Radical Entertainment is, or was, a Canadian company, based Vancouver, BC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_Entertainment I can't find a connection in personal or anything. Prototype did come out three years after Dark Sector. So, it could of just been a big inspiration for them, or it is just a coincidence, but seriously look at this stuff. The similarities in some of the art, design, aesthetics, and themes are a little to close to ignore. I am really curious to know if RE was admirers of DE's work, or if they pulled parallel design from similar reference and inspiration to arrive at similar point.

Sziklamester Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Long stories. I can suggest you the Evolva. That inspired many of devs to make coop like game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EversorMetus Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) ^^ Yeah check out Evolva. And you can definitely find even older games that used the bio/organic stuff. Its not actually anything new. Edited March 9, 2015 by EversorMetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Billos Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) :) Thanks for reminding me of that game. I bought that when it came out on PS3 along with Assassins Creed. I always thought of it as a cross between Assassins Creed and GTA but with darker themes.I've never played Dark Sector but the very very little I've picked up on suggests that Prototype is more similiar to that than Warframe. I'm probably wrong, I haven't read much about Dark Sector. Edited March 9, 2015 by Lord_Billos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elele Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Guyver Because both are games about a bio-infected suit of sorts that gives the hero awesome abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKage Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Because Warframes are biological, like the virus in Prototype, they look similar because they fall at the same category of a living parasitic organism Edited March 9, 2015 by MrKage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake_Gunn Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I have to agree with billos that from the research I have done it sounds very similar to dark sector. Haven't played dark sector but I have played the first prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)MoRockaPDX Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Long stories. I can suggest you the Evolva. That inspired many of devs to make coop like game. I'll take a look. Guyver Because both are games about a bio-infected suit of sorts that gives the hero awesome abilities. Yeah, the Guyver is cited by DE dev's.

faustias Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Mmm... Prototype. Mercer in his Armor mode really does fit Warframe.... ... ...oh my. Universes can cross with this. Technocyte Infestation merging with the Black Virus. A new warframe based on merged Technocyte + Black Virus. Disguise, Whiplash, Bio-bomb and Tendril Barrage as his abilities. With the Bladearm(Sword, Heavy blade, Polearm) and Hammerfists(Sparring or Hammer) as Biolab Clan Tech weapons.
