Prototype 2 Part 1 || Unskippable Ep198 [Aired: Oct 22, 2012]

I knew that they did this in the game, but not in the first two minutes: When Heller's daughter's name is written, it's Amaya, when it's spoken, she's Maya. How many QA testers pulled their hair out over this?

To be fair, the first game had that problem too, where despite it being like 3 weeks into a horrifying virus-mutant apocalypse that locked down Manhattan with Blackwatch troops using deadly force, civilians would still just be walking around the streets in the Blue zones like nothing's amiss. Maybe people in this world just have zero survival instincts, which would actually explain a lot of NPC behavior.

But Robocop does have superpowers! They're the powers that come from his robot bits! If it counts for Cyborg, it counts for him.

I wouldn't mind getting the Rick Mercer virus. Rick Mercer is hilarious.

They did Alex Mercer dirty in this game, gotta say. He was way more interesting as “kind of an asshole but still better than he was as a human” than just this full-on psycho supervillain.

I don't know, in Robocop 3 he could fly and it was pretty stupid.

And now the buggy port remasters of these games, they feel even more like prototypes!

Knife to meet you, Alex Mercer.

Years later and we finally got that Robocop game. No superpowers though :(

In his defense we learned this week that you can kill a Jedi with a knife if you’re sufficiently skilled, so you can kind of understand him trying it on Mercer.

Man, anything about virii hits different now.
