This game confirmed I haven't changed; the gaming industry has. Startup bugs and modern hardware fixes: [url=nexusmods.com/prototype2/mods/42]https://www.nexusmods.com/prototype2/mods/42 And if you get a bug doing the bonus objective/jumping claw slash you have to limit your framerate to 30 somehow and retry the tutorial.

I do think that generally it's a pretty reasonable point that developers should have to do some bare minimum in making sure games are compatible with modern systems or admitting that they have stability issues while actively selling them on steam but if you're used to doing weird troubleshooting to play old games and aren't afraid of that process this is one of the better sandboxes of its era

Can we get a third game? With the abysmal state that super hero games are in apart from Spider-Man, I think there's a place for a dark, gory, more mature game like Prototype in the current landscape! I'd love to see what could be done on modern hardware

Install these and you're all set. Game's old and the company split up a while back. RIP https://www.nexusmods.com/prototype2/mods/1 https://www.nexusmods.com/prototype2/mods/42 God, I wish this game got the attention that InFamous did too. Loved this series. They don't make games that make you feel this powerful anymore. There's also a lack of strong rugged protagonists like this too. Miss that era of gaming.
