It’s becoming a bit of a trend for developers to release the opening cinematics to their games before their games release, and now I know why. Before watching this, I wasn’t that interested in Prototype, but if it’s anything like this, then this is a day one purchase for me.

The sequence follows Alex Mercer, the game’s protagonist, as he rampages through New York City, trying to deal with the mutative virus that allows him to shape-shift and absorb others. When announced, it sounded a lot like Spiderman 3, but this trailer gives me hope. It’s violent and gory, but I’m also really interested in what happens next in the sequence of events. I guess I’ll have to wait until June 9th to find out.
