Prototype
Release: Jun 9, 2009
Prototype (stylised as "[PROTOTYPE]") is an upcoming action game in development by Radical Entertainment and based on an original IP developed in-house. The game is slated for release in North America on June 9, 2009, in Oceania on June 10, 2009[citation needed] and in Europe on June 12, 2009 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 platforms.
A key aspect of Prototype is the 'deceive or destroy' concept which is tied to the protagonist's enemy-consuming and shapeshifting powers. Alex Mercer, the player's avatar, is able to consume the bodies of those he has beaten and killed, giving him access to their memories, their experiences, their biomass and their physical forms. Alex can also shapeshift into more specialized forms for attack, defense or sensory enhancement. All of these together are intended to give player multiple ways to complete their objectives.
Characters
* Alex Mercer
The protagonist. Alex has the ability to modify his genetic code on the fly to produce amazing powers of attack, defense, and perception. He can also easily perform superhuman feats of strength, endurance, speed and agility. Alex was an employee at GENTEK, a corporation centered on biotechnology, before the "incident" which took place 3 weeks before the start of the game.
* Dana Mercer
Alex's younger sister. She followed in her brother's footsteps and ran away from home at a young age to fulfill her dreams. She helps Alex by performing research, aided by her studies in journalism.
* Karen Parker
A GENTEK researcher and Alex's previous love interest from before the incident.
* Dr. Bradley Ragland
The doctor who examined Alex before he first awoke with his powers. He is one of Alex's allies against the infection and an accomplished pathologist. His involvement with the virus, and the entire incident, goes deeper than the surface suggests.
* Dr. Raymond McMullen
The head of research at GENTEK. Little else is currently known about this character.
* The Specialist
Blackwatch's finest. He has dealt with Alex's kind before. Nothing surprises him in biological war. He's seen it all, and is totally merciless. He is well equipped to deal with various forms of the infection, including the player's character. In a recent trailer, he has been referred to as a Captain.
* Elizabeth Greene
A name that appears in a document recovered from Alex's laptop. She is currently in isolation at the GENTEK facility in New York City. It is assumed that she has abilities that are similar in nature to Alex's. She appears to be a young girl.
