* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Manhattan is split into Green, Yellow and Red Zones. The Green Zone is full of heavy military presence and normal civilians going about their lives, the "safe zone." Yellow is Quarantine: nobody in or out without permission. Residents unlucky enough to be stuck living here are justifiably miserable. The Red Zone is the one place they haven't cleaned out yet of infection, and it's full of dangerous mutants and so on.

* TrailersAlwaysLie: [[spoiler: Heller vs. Mercer? Not really, any more than it was {{Superman}} vs. {{SpiderMan}}. Heller comes to face to face with Mercer, who taunts him before infecting him with the virus. Heller is transported to the Yellow Zone (Quarantine) for testing at Gentek before escaping when the situation gets hot (literally). His escape leads to an uneasy alliance with Mercer, who is doing his best to convince Heller it isn’t him that Heller should be after, but Gentek and Blackwatch.]]

Elaboration please? How do the trailers differ from the final product, espcially when that final product isn\'t out yet.

** This can be debated with the comics that have come out to explain the between of the timeskip, showing that he has lost his faith in humanity.

Shout Outs belong in Trivia, but I don\'t think that counts. Especially spelled that way.


** This Could be also seen as a ShoutOut to TheIncredibleHulkUltimateDesctruction where it was possible to do this, however when Prototype first came around, it used simmalar control schemes to Hulk but the button used to Put down something/someone was use in Prototype for the Consume feature.

Game magazines prerelease are...not reliable sources, to put it mildly. And if it\'s true, that\'s a hell of a spoiler. Unless it came from the devs themselves, I\'d hold off on changes.

James Heller, who returns from Iraq only to find [[SceneryGorn New York destroyed]] and his wife and child dead, victims of the infection. He enlists to fight in New York, running a series of missions that lead him to kill hundreds of the infected, but none of them grant what he really seeks - [[DeathSeeker to die]]. He becomes infected with the Blacklight virus by Alex Mercer, who is now intent on making allies to help him go after Gentek. Now having access to a [[LovecraftianSuperpower similar set of powers]], it is up to Heller to decide: will he help undo Gentek, or will he take revenge on Mercer?
