New Prison Break Screens Are Surprisingly Decent

Dan Webb

Hey, wait a minute and check them out before you call me crazy and say I've had a mental lapse.

After hearing the announcement of the game a while back, I admittedly had no hope for the upcoming Prison Break title. I mean who does these days with tie-ins of any sorts? But after seeing the new screens today, it's plain to see that they're taking it seriously... from a visual standpoint anyway. Not only are the likenesses pretty much spot on, but the lighting and textures look pretty damn decent as well. Prison Break, I have my eye on you... for now.

Check out the Prison Break gallery here for all of the 10 new screens.

  • i have a feeling it will be kindajust like saw the video game, where its only really puzzles and it will get really repetitive
  • damn, that looks great
  • Wow. Ok I'm interested! Looks cool, and I was a fan of the series so I'll probably get this!
  • A yay first post has been removed already I see. Wonder how the gameplay will be.
  • @#5 - It wasn't one of those, but was just as insightful.
  • Kinda looka like splintercell.
  • Looks good. I bet it will turn out to be like Chronicles of Riddick or whatever...good game but nobody knows about it.
  • wonder if they will have a shower/soap mini game
  • It looks nice. I've never heard of the developers Deep Silver or the publishers ZootFly though.
  • Very interesting, I wonder if this game is gonna play like Splinter cell
  • I Luv Prison Break
  • @11 Yeah I was kind of thinking the same thing too.
  • @8 Chronicles of riddick was brilliant
  • never watched the show or cared to - but the game looks good from the few shots there
  • you can polish a turd but its still shit.
  • Might be interesting, might suck. A dude shimmying on a rope tells me fuck all. I hope its a really cool game with loadsa ways to formulate an escape rather than a crap (and rather late) tie in.
  • @9 hahahaha! this game looks terrible
  • I cant wait for this. i LOVE prison break. shame to see the series end but this game should relight the flame :D
  • wow this was a great show which means i will have to at least give this a shot
  • @9 ha ha ha ha ha fucking hilarious
  • graphics only go so far...
  • looks fine to me. I'd might give it a shot after playing countless numbers of game-based tv shows.
  • Im guessing its just the 1st season their doing from the screens, thats prob a good idea as the program got a bit stupid when they broke out. Still, i bet it bombs big style.
  • Now is the game gonna be callen: Prison Break: Make'em your Bitch.
  • Really loved the show so I will defo give this game a shot. Can't be worse than the Lost game.
  • Don't know why it says the likenesses are spot on, since the main character looks nothing like Wentworth Miller. The only one that seems spot on from these screens is Dominic Purcell (dude on the rope). Not to mention that the main character doesn't even have the awesome puzzle-tattoo that Micheal had in the show.
  • Prison Break: The Show = definately terrible. Prison Break: The Game = probably terrible.
  • The first season was amazing I thought. They only ever intended it to run 2 seasons and be done, but Fox demanded more episodes and they didn't really know where to take it after that. Personally, I choose to pretend it ended after they actually got out.
  • Fucking loved Prison Break was sad when it ended, will get this no matter what, but im confused as to how they will do the second season and whether you play as Michael or Lincoln throughout it. #28 How dare you, its the greatest show ever, T-Bag is the fucking bomb.
  • Ignorant people. You can't judge a game until you've played it. People's ignorance is seriously saddening. You have no opinion about gameplay until the game is actually played. The show wasn't bad at all. So hopefully the development is smooth and they make a great game. Also hopefully all the actors lend their voices and I wouldn't mind playing as Mahone if they go that deep. Also bitch slapping Bellick.
  • that first screenshot looks like it was made in poser and if u dont know what i'm talkin about look it up its a very cool program if u know how to use it right but if my suspicions are correct(which I'm sure they are not) and this screenshot was made in poser than these guys have a lot to learn
  • So based solely on the first screen, this prison complex has high powered spotlights out in the yard? Look at the direction of the lighting for the 'awesome' shadow effect on the sentry tower who's own spotlights are both weak as hell and not trained on our protagonist, and there's a goddamn dude in the window! "Tower One we have a douchebag trying to escape via a wire, our Yard Light team has him picked out, please shoot him in the back of the head. Over." Game over bitch, no wonder this show was canceled.
  • Hopefully it follows the 1st season cuz the other season swere meh. I have a feeling this won't be good though. I think it'll be on par with the Lost/SAW games out there IMO
  • I'll play it. Luckily my standards for video games aren't incredibly high like everyone else. I can enjoy non AAA titles. :)
  • The Lost game was good
  • Sweet! Loved the show!
  • whens the heros game coming out???
  • Haha, I was addicted to the show and have seen all 4 seasons so this really does interest me. Hope it turns out alright.
  • Hmmm I wonder if Bubba will be a playable character.
  • wooow
  • @38, i'm pretty sure they cancelled it. They said the series doesn't have enough action to make a game out of it. The screenshots for this look alright, but it's just a waiting game to see what the gameplay is like.
  • if the game is anything like the tv show , i will be def hooked on this :)
  • Can We Play As T-Bag Please ;D
  • I like Prison Break as a TV show. But I don't think, that the game will be that good. Lost: Via Domus had also decent grafics, but game itself was poor. Oh yeah...about the title...I heard it's called Prison Break: Don't pick up the soap.
  • I actually really want this game!!
  • Am I the only one who actually things this doesn't look that good at all?
  • The graphics look decent but seeing as it's been developed by a Slovenian company Zootfly, I don't have great expectations. Hopefully (unlike Lost) It'll at least have the real voices from the show.
  • Though I don't usually go for tie-in games, i'm a huge fan of PB, the screens look fairly good, but a few details about the game wouldn't go amiss before any of us can decide if it's worth the brass or not. No doubt it won't be worth full retail price though, like most games these days . . .
  • well i loved the Series, hopefully the game is at least pretty decent.
  • Oh this has 'rent me' written all over it, hopefully it won't be another lost (I mean 6 hours to 100% the game....come on). Expect to see a lot of these in the preowned section of gamestop a month after release.
  • comment #9 is the biggest queer bait ive ever seen, this game is interesting me tho...
  • Does there have to be a game for every TV these days? I imagine that EA will be starting development of It's A Knockout: The Game soon. And Activision will be forming a partnership with the BBC to make an In The Night Garden series of titles.
  • It can look as shiny as it wants, but if the gameplay is not there, it will fall on its arse like every other game of it's ilk. I just have not expectations of tie in games until they come out. That way, I either feel happy being justified or happy playing a good game. The latter is a rare occasion....
  • The show was amazing, if the game can keep the flame alive i will be very happy. I will only consider it after seeing the gameplay and hearing more about options and modes.
  • #9 THAT would make a great achievement: "Picked up the soap without a pain in the back (100G)" :-D
  • Looks good - I really liked the show, so I will at least give it a try if there is a demo.
  • Loved the show.. But I must say I have no hope for this game.. I want to think it'll be good 'cause the show was awesome.. But I don't think it will be.. But for some courtesy I'll give it a try I guess ;
  • The only way this game gets more than 100kpeople to play this game is if the points are easy... Otherwise, less than 30k will even give it a look.
  • loved the series and the screen shoots look cool but i though this game was cancel'd?
  • Well, at least they're not 100% whoring for cash. :-)
  • #9, rofl and if it's not on disc, maybe they'll release it as DLC. @52, awww looks like someone couldn't take a joke. Keep running your mouth, couch potato. Go sit down and watch some Prison Break reruns or something.
