Prototype to get co-op in the future?
Could feature if there's a sequel.
Radical Entertainment's Chris Ansell has said online co-op could feature in future Prototype games - even though they abandoned plans to put it in the first one.
Speaking to Eurogamer at last week's Sierra showcase Ansell said, "We were excited about the idea, and still are, but we decided to put all our effort into single-player.
"So far the forum reaction's been to back up that idea. Games like Mass Effect and BioShock have had great success with a solid single-player, and we'd like to emulate that to make an amazing single-player game."
Radical listed online co-op as one of Prototype's features when the game was first unveiled last July. It was later dropped, but Ansell suggested co-op could make a comeback if there's a sequel.
"We had some pretty cool ideas about multiplayer and we can't wait to start exploring that stuff. We're hoping the game sells really well so we can explore it further," he stated.
"Consoles are going online so we know we have to get there, and that it's going to be a key component going forward."
Prototype is out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this summer. For more on how the game's shapeshifting up, read our brand new preview.

this doesn't have a release date so what do you mean "I was not expecting this so early"?
The question I would ask is why isn't co-op going to be included for release given there isn't a release date?

I know I know...GTA4 is mentioned constantly at the minute, but GTA4 co-op modes are awesome and so much fun, the public will be lusting for more of this! Co-op is my fav' mode on games that have the feature. Adds a lot more depth in my opinion.

I'm more excited by this and Mercs 2.

"We're hoping the game sells really well so we can explore it further"
Seems a bit like a plea to me for us to buy it simply so we can have coop in the future, but if the game is as good as it's looking at the moment, I'm a guaranteed customer.

What's the point in them even saying this?
