Prototype 2 to feature Activision's First Online Pass Scheme

Prototype 2 will be the first of Activision's games to feature a pass similar to the ones that are now common place across many developers and publishers. While not exactly the same as the competition, a selection of Prototype 2 content will be exclusive to players who purchase the game new, and will only be offered in a limited first run capacity.

It's called Radnet, a portal that Radical Entertainment has developed to deliver early adopters exclusive content for getting on board early. The content delivery system will offer up 55 free pieces of exclusive content for the first seven weeks after the game launches. Activision has said that the content will be wide ranging. From special events in-game, avatar items, exclusive themes and more, Radnet will be completely free for all that get one of the limited first run copies of the game.

"Radnet content is our way of rewarding the game's most loyal supporters," said Radical Entertainment's Ken Rosman. "The conent is for the one's who will replay it over and over again."

A nice incentive for the true blue Prototype fans that are dying to get their hands on the upcoming release. For those that don't pick the game up at launch, you'll probably have to pay up to get the full Prototype 2 experience via DLC.

Cool dude
Online pass is a dirty little feature. Ugh.

  Well get used to it. EA is huge and Activision is the best selling of this generation. You gotta pay for those servers cool dude and sorry but your $300 every 5 years to Xbox doesn’t do it. Look forward to all games being online passes and then you get to pay your internet provider, xbox and for the online pass on all games. Sure is nice being an Xbox gamer. Gosh where did I go wrong. you got it all. It’s okay, you paid $300 those apps right? What a deal.
- Allen
  Sorry cool dude, i’m backing down – sorry for being a jerk – again.

  Or you can just buy the game and not pay an online pass, I thought you were smart enough to figure that out. Homos these days….
- Allen
  Ah, see you are smart. Well then WTF is all this trolling about Sony online pass about? Oh you just had nothing to bitch about. That makes sense.
- Raven
  I’m paying $4 a month for faster downloads, not having to download then install, and not having to pray my downloads background install. Apps and getting resident evil 60 days early are just a small bonus.
- Paul
  If only I ever trolled about Sony online passes. I spend my time reminding you that you’re gay. Remember? Homos these days….
Allen
Also I’m all for the online pass. These developers do need to get paid and it needs to be drilled in Xbox gamers heads that they pay for nothing. This will be great for the developer and publisher, bad for game exchange but good for the consumer since money will be going back to the developer to make better games and keep servers secure/updated.
Basically game exchange and Xbox have been playing the dirty game of taking money that’s not rightfully theirs. Especially with how fast both 360 and PS3 games drop in price this is nothing but good for us; as long as that keeps up that is.

  Whatever, Xbox added features to give live value, psn added features to try to stay competitive. Without live psn would not be where it is.
  Do you really think Sony wants Netflix and other streaming services to suceed? Those services are destroying blu ray sales for Sony.
- IHATETROLLS
  nah sony did not need to lift a finger for netflix to self destruct
That Guy
game quality declined when it became more about the money than entertaining….
- Allen
  I wonder who’s fault that is. Who was it again that made it all about money? Then had developers and publishers looking at the pure profit and wanting a piece of it?
Titan
I just don’t see this helping the right games. So what if battlefield has it, that’s a day 1 buy. It’s games like heavy rain and Alan wake that typically are bought used that need the help, not these multi player games.
Hoppsy
I like the way Activision are doing this, they are rewarding people for buying the game full price instead of penalising people for buying the game second hand.
I hate the way developers complain about the used game market there is no other industry on the planet that complains about there product being sold on 2nd hand. i can sell a DVD, I can sell a car, I can sell a washing machine and i can Sell a TV without any of those industries trying to stop me but oh, you can’t sell your games.

Did anyone proof read the second paragraph? It needs some work (protal and peieces).

online pass is better than paying 60$ per year when all i wanted is to play online and nothing else. netflix, hulu, and other stuff that live and psn offer i dont really need it and so do majority of gamers. i go online to play not to chat or other bullsh!t.
- Raven
  Good for you, now you better get your online gaming in quick because psn will be down for maintenance again…
