Hey guys,
G2Play (CD Key selling site) is selling Prototype 2 for $27.39 AUD for the next 4 hours only!
This is a steam key but take note that the site is a cdkey selling site.
I've used them in the past without any issues but this is very much a "at your own risk" deal.
Also note that you'll need to log in to see the special price (Otherwise it'll say $35 or something).
Enjoy!
Holy carp fish Mgowen, you are right!
"On June 28, 2012, Activision announced that despite the "substantial investment", the game "did not find a broad commercial audience", and as a result, developer Radical would encounter layoffs and the studio would be "reduced" to a supporting role towards other Activision projects".
:\
Damn.
As for being a port, not sure. Reviews for the game appear to be good.
"Prototype 2 received favorable reviews. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PC version 81.20% and 77/100, the PlayStation 3 version 79.14% and 79/100 and the Xbox 360 version 75.67% and 74/100. Planet Xbox 360 gave the game a 9 out of 10 rating. They called the game a "wonderful sequel that surpasses the original""
Ah, yes, balls.
Perhaps everyone should give this game a miss on the PC.

"I’ve tried it on three PCs. On one, the game did not start. The Steam forums reveal this happens if you have certain USB devices plugged in, so I unplugged everything. It then started, but crashed whenever it loaded a new mission.
On PC number two, it ran, but got slower and slower as I played, until it was entirely unresponsive and crashed, losing all progress in the current mission. Some missions last longer than the time it took this PC to slow to a crawl, and you can’t save mid-mission.
Other players found one early mission was uncompletable unless they told Windows to use only one CPU core. Mouse acceleration varies with your framerate. Windowed mode is more stable, but hidden, and stuck at 1280×720. Some button presses didn’t register.
On PC number three, it’s fine. No major issues, runs beautifully, and it’s surprisingly pretty. So if you own three very different gaming PCs, you’ll be fine. If you don’t, the sheer shoddiness of this port condemns you to a technical lottery."
Amazon was selling this (a Steam key) for US$24.99 last week. I wouldn't be surprised if that's where they got the keys.
Isn't this the game where the PC port is buggy but the developers shut down and so there'll never be any patches?
Here's a good review.
