The Only Way to Fly--Prototype, Infamous, Red Faction: Guerrilla

Monday, June 22nd, 2009 – running time 30:51
It's a theme show! Three open-world games released so close to one another, how could we not? Prototype, Infamous, and Red Faction fight it out in a cage match of awesome!

It's our Season 02 premiere! And, of course, with any premiere you have to go big. In this case, going big seemed best exemplified by diving into three open-world games.

First, Prototype. Will Tuttle (GameSpy) and Anthony Gallegos (GameSpy and Eat-Sleep-Game) join JayFresh in a rather candid discussion of the game's successes and, unfortunately, it's several faults.

Infamous, on the other hand, seems more universally loved in spite of it being a bit rough around the edges. Anthony jumps in on this one, joined by his RebelFM cohort, Tyler Barber, to chat with Matt about what makes this urban shocker (har har) such a delight

Finally, in what may be one of the biggest surprises of the year (so far), Red Faction: Guerrilla adds two parts jammazing to one heaping gallon of explosion-sauce to create what Matt, John Davison (What They Play), and (roudning out the RebelFM/Eat-Sleep-Game cast) Arthur Geis agree to be a recipe for a game so fun it's difficult to do it justice in one, brief segment.

" It has been in years sufferings and this is just one of those instances -- They decided they are gonna go for duty of icon but there's really only one game to play and the good people like oddities basically just gives you some slightly different hours. Right and I was fine with good powers of the enemy like if you upgrade your bombs to get up and he gets like that big. Single -- like a missile is evening guide right now Michael that that thing was really cool sounds fire likes your for the -- And it tissue normally involve the somebody and they all -- the same guy and if you upgrade those big missiles and explode the have a big blast radius and everything around the goes flying in the air and there are suspended in the -- that allows easily shoot them there's only -- And makes her really fun sequences present a large battles he -- in his game winning just like. Throwing tons of guys that you as beginning ever really thought like OK I have to be on the size of things -- shots and and that's playing good same qualities and destroy everything you're looking to. Can't -- game days they have these beings here as he battles an area where you just unleash -- And it felt really good in the comment asking -- that's a lot better."

" As we'll -- some powers that we're from both right like the floating power in the sealed yes those -- some of them are definitely none of the Lindsay could --"

" What power this. Became quickly became my favorites was the the rail slide. Yes 78 any section of the seeding restore electricity cheap -- need to upgrade soon your frills flying time to your recharging. And so -- and I found myself using its. The power lines in the subway lines like all the -- leader of the tightening move really fast and it has a really cool feel to it when you're grinding on the grills and any sort of hit a ramp on the -- and you know you're floating in the air -- to transition to the next -- it's a little bit like just a radio. If you're not sliding around jumping up the buildings to be a little bit tedious. And it was tedious I mean I understand what they did it Sunday we're jumping up the building and there's something near and for him to grab -- like. Some decent towards that you know and like Bob to the edge of the buildings and so there's a lot of work here. Coming down from a tiny -- amount of our acquire a kind of like aligned himself against -- automatically. It's -- it's very sticky and sometimes I really appreciate it and other times as a god don't -- do that again you know especially if there's late today last chart which is the collectible Writely and trying to -- down to get it and he won't go down -- because he keeps sticking on -- in -- almost like some of the blasts -- locations -- just to show you like you know you're -- the fight against the -- notes and get -- figured out. I just felt like sometimes the engine in the animations and everything. They're all little changed either a little and fittings all they -- a little bit of -- I think I've probably been spoiled by -- assassin's creed. All right but at the same time it's like. It's not like -- was jumping around the city being everything in speaking like these animations rob because he's having so much fun."

" In the game releases their tentative at all yeah. It has a lot of admissions staff and it's actually the only game I've ever played ever wear actually purposely went through a collectible. Because again they had a tangible effect. On your -- and that the constant sensory thing you're gag UK shows you where they are is intended just makes you wanna go from there isn't it. The real hunting for the right and I thought their little map was ingenious that we sort of viewed hospital glass shards. And -- showed the powder the outer rim to show you where in the -- the dead drops are right -- you got it and a shorter. It was again and I thought that did just also and it's going to extend the story -- background I don't want I intentionally let them every time because they actually thought that it was interesting yeah."

" Audio recording has evolved experiment 52 seed. Capital group. You chimpanzees. Connected to the race here applies to select true."

Yeah and turn it yes I thought was great and it's definitely yeah yeah yeah I'm excited and it was neat that he's. Wonders if anyone is going to be able to tell them. Later sling yeah and it's and it's -- bringing another overall alert yeah and other characters."

" And I hope it does well enough that sucker punches. It's to need another woman I mean -- your punches originally made gains and laser he would really well so terribly. So much of this is the avalanche in the last in that case I mean I I have a feeling insulating gains looked something like going to become. I mean I've seen rising Mike -- troublesome things like yeah."

There's two and -- classical like tonight's melding of being completely different offense again -- screen shots and I think even video doesn't really seeking justice I think they sacrifice a little bit of visual fidelity investors game play and perhaps -- Right seeking to make what a big game when you walk out feeling after building apart sledge -- the whole -- when -- the -- There and -- and lakers bulls eye of the clearly -- and it's not always immediately."

" There's a lot of gun. Driver. Today. I have played better than anybody original driver that was emissions and that lab when the -- came T. Like really aggressively it was like the day before hey I was very sophisticated they are just like they -- just -- right -- you you re. He knows full. And -- trying to hustle some things today. Despite. I -- you out there. And that's only going to do at this site. Many times well I had to get out of the -- never running into everything -- the revenues each of them. And you can't find suspended from the political. I thought that. -- these people mean they're building like they made their cars you never know Iran particularly ones prevents like Michael -- movie you're cargoes through everything. Yeah members and scratch their benefit I think I didn't mind the story was bit flimsy mount that let me hold because it seems to revel pain. It's video games so much of like it's well. It's not saying this is like Thomas I don't playing games. Narratives that this is a video game except on enough right -- I pretty much says that up from the Scott Amendola and then it's like okay without Clinton. --"

" The story isn't bad because everything that you're doing throughout the course of the game plays things you like your point is like every damn every bit of damage you every building you -- just like. That's another -- But can pick in the -- of the India flight bringing them down which is one of the things that. -- pull help pull me through the game is that in a lot of other open world games you're driving when anyway it's. There's a lot of times management objectives where's -- you have an objective -- the luckily you can stuff. Local couple gas tankers -- for whatever world like. Bringing down regardless and that is contributing to. Your goals for about --"

" Most open world games that I play when I'm driving to and from those missions. Not only is it like he says there's no blood feud between their bed. There's only a few mission types -- few missions in the game where they're truly memorable for me and in this game like. I'm gonna complete -- by nature when it comes to games but this game that was enjoy. Because I felt like every single mission type today there was there I wanted to do them and one of my favorites Roy is the there -- almost puzzle like the demolition."

" That's all this stuff in the barrels in the building up here and I love that."

" And they really feel that they really feel like they've they've put those in the game. To show you that you can be as creative he wanted to be with whatever the tools that you had at your disposal of the time where he's so is one of my favorites was what were you. Where you putting your remote bombs on barrel spending is throwing barrels down these long to. You can go to the bottom of building this like sliding down and ninety stacking up barrels the bottom of the building in the heat of detonated its football and until I got there I didn't even think really about putting my -- and I am remote detonator."

" Bombs on an object that I didn't throw in the exact object of the -- bigger -- made bigger book jacket and become better and worldwide. Put -- on that unlike him vehicles. -- Put it on a vehicle that I'm. On the table getting -- it and jump out than that I mean like he's not getting -- really great -- there's anything gratuitous as far as games. This game everything is there for the purpose we'll show. It's an awesome place. -- that -- weapons of old feeds into that as well let me and I the only weapons -- I think that the things that the problem. Yeah they're very satisfying. After. Slow sort of an old school rocket -- you know you -- kind of lining up right behind him weapon was. It's. Stand far back there's a building any historic fire one Rocketboom have to build. Like the manner. And at a rate -- There was a lot of fun."

" Yeah exactly. In medical situation where your rewarded for. With the fires taking pulling off an inning going a little further than tumbling out there like -- There's no way that the economy works in the game -- actually one of the more clever aspects of the game moments that you destroy things which give you pieces of those. And stuff yeah as opposed to you find money in the wreckage from this building right so little touches like that helped establish the reality of the game --"

" They made along -- game one but the sounds almost like -- Didn't really know what they. What they've built it's that they. Seriously. The -- fight game it really gets it right and and the wrecking crew just surpassed that controller around multi plant a tree. And in multi planet over the with a -- golf. Hundreds of mode -- the weapons that arrow Nemo we play them on instant -- back back there are Texas earlier in the like three buildings and -- I think there's."

" There's a -- they're literally creates an earthquake around here and there's an old policy toward your point is to either defend or destroyed the other team. And so when people have guns and rebuild things. Like the reverse ghostbusters right already. Any other team has these backpacks where you will run on average and activate it literally shaking of."

" That's lost his multiplayer modes that feel like try slice because this as the rocket. You -- that sort of political element and -- a little listen chasing each other but when you did George Allen. And suddenly everyone just like lift up into the air and then dividing a public building her -- which someone takes out from underneath every bit -- moment. They did wow she's had a field day with the design. We. We get another thing and this is what we did everything else that -- destruction yeah then there are days when as a means they would put that in. The it seemed like the safe houses -- very few very fervently -- me fit into the -- winner of the animation history. Kind actually the -- one technician type today. And while still but it was definitely my least favorite. We're winning find. -- that the transmitter and transported drive -- back to transfer and yet again -- to back the same house. But sometimes they would inexplicably happy drive all the way across the (%expletive)."

" Sledgehammers the next to the gravity and my new favorite weapon."

" They can't be so big and then clearly -- to prevent it in the it also might have a little bits in effect as they became on casual theme of the steamrolled through everything was much worse. And all of that is sort of encourages that as well then it's like if you notice you're dying to us discuss it at the -- It is not like usable ways that would give the C deregulated casual about it. Defend this assignment I'm gonna have advised and -- cadre and I -- it seems again he seems very 01 with a bloody days yet how much the team seemed very comfortable with what they -- him. And that's kind of fun books about here."

" This is the kind of game I win this -- came around and -- tell you about emergent game experience and everything they've learned from. The last generations as the panic but I feel like -- been waiting for almost its entire council generation. We've seen lots of pretty looking games there's still games where collision and I like debris that doesn't move an analyst -- red red faction feels like this world that. In the grabbed his weird. It follows its -- things happen the way you expect him to."

" I mean if they don't happen the way you expect him through that we that you intended still (%expletive) awesome. So it's hard to argue that that puzzle put that on the box forcing us to their benefit to Canada have been up."

" More -- was Squarespace. Squarespace is publishing system for anyone looking to go to block portfolio or any kind of website you. Then Squarespace offers a uniquely flexible tool for just about anyone know coding experience required to build high end complex -- eyes with the same functionality -- goodness that you find some of the highest trafficked pages on the -- Good taste not included. Can sign up today is probably code -- option."

" In check but it. It sure is Matt and I -- not -- like on the old days. Later watching."

" War."

" And Squarespace. "

" Man. Stimulus have a week. I gotta catch up on all those gains that came out while -- you know. So much stuff to play I'm glad I got a little bit of already got their next week's show I -- to Atlanta I think we can do. That your -- your red faction. That commit then. If on this prototype. Hydraulic open world game yeah it doesn't that was pretty pretty -- I think prototype was kind of nice and -- you know. So -- covered. Really. -- that's a lot of pain. --"

" Basically your guy Alex Mercer.

Hooray! New episodes. This summer got it right with gaming. Loved all three, though some more than others. Currently playing through Red Faction and I'm tempted to play through casual because I'm with Matt, plowing through the game feels a lot funner. I like how it's termed 'casual' and not 'easy' and they didn't throw an achievement for difficulty in it. It's like I can get away with it and no ones the wiser!

Except everyone reading this..

But I'm totally with you, in Red Faction it is far funner to be able to run through the game as an unstoppable wrecking ball.

Back in the 1Up show days the show was placed in seasons, each running about sixteen episodes (maybe broken up with This Is Not the 1Up Show) before a week or two long break. Co-Op is just continuing the tradition. Happy season 3 to all. (I count season 0 / season "finding a buyer/ figuring out how to fund this" as the first Co-Op season, you could also call this unofficial season 13 of the 1Up show if you want.)

Great episode as usual. Been playing the hell outta InFamous and having a great time with it. Surprised no one mentioned the music during the segment, it's one of my favorite things about the game.

Yay to the new season! Looking forward to the new episodes!

Great episode as always!

Thanks to this episode, I learned that I won't be getting Prototype, can't wait until I cop a PS3 for Infamous (among other things), and that holy crap Red Faction Guerilla is AWESOME. I downloaded the demo last night, and wow. Just wow. Totally blew away my expectations.

Great episode (as always!), it's one of the high points of my viewing week. I did skip the Red Faction segment though, as I've just started the game and didn't want to learn anything about it. I'll watch it after I finish the game =)

The prototype segment has some things a little wrong. There aren't just three missions to do under stealth, with an achievement for 1 and 3. Those achievements are for completing missions without letting the military raise an alert, which can be done by killing the soldier radioing for backups or strike teams. You can complete many of the missions without this alert being raised.

Alex did have a woman he loves (or loved)...her name is Karen Parker and she's in the game. Consuming people in the web of intrigue (while free roaming and during side missions) reveals much more about her and Alex.

I won't spoil anything about the story but there is a good reason why Alex is so unlikable. It's told in the game and is detailed further through consuming more people.
