1* DuelingGames: ''VideoGame/{{Prototype 2}}'' [[ForegoneConclusion was compared to]] ''[[VideoGame/InFamous inFAMOUS 2]]''.
2* ExecutiveMeddling: Radical had already undergone layoffs and Activision continued to pull people off the game in the middle of production, [[https://archive.is/BDnoW ultimately resulting]] in the game being developed with "half the time in development, [and] a much smaller team" compared to the first game. After sabotaging development and sending the game to die, they then used it as justification for canning most of Radical.
3* FranchiseKiller: Not only were the game's sales poor enough to cause the developer to say a sequel was out of the question, the poor sales led to Activision [[CreatorKiller shuttering the developer that created it, Radical Entertainment.]]
4* TheOtherDarrin: Alex Mercer was voiced by Creator/BarryPepper in the original game. Here, he is voiced by Darryl Kurylo.
5* PreOrderBonus: Multiple pre-orders that have an array of different bonuses, including unique attacks, weapons, and even alternate costumes.
6* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
7** During the final boss fight, Alex was going to transform into a gigantic spider-like monstrosity rather than a slightly spinier version of his humanoid form. This was cut likely due to the extra resources it would require to implement.
