Prototype's main character has a whole slew of off-the-wall abilities in his superpowered arsenal, and now it's time to add another to the list: super-snubbing PC gamers. While console players get to tentacle-stab hearts to their heart's content starting April 24, we're now stuck on the sidelines until July 24 for no apparent reason. Granted, if you've been even the slightest bit conscious for the past few years, this is in no way a surprising slap to PC gamers' faces. Usually, though, this is Ubisoft's shtick, so it's not exactly uplifting to see Activision – the world's biggest videogame publisher – taking a similarly ill-advised approach. Developer Radical Entertainment's promising more details “soon,” though, so maybe a perfectly rational explanation is on the way. You know, like... er, well, ummmm. A time travel experiment gone horribly wrong? Yeah, we've got nothing.

I didn't even know they planned on making this for PC. Honestly I don't see the point in even making a PC version.
PC's are for FPS's anyway. Plus 90% of the people who play this on PC will be playing pirated copies. $20 million in development, and will probably only make about $15K in sales.

sounds like they did not start working on the PORT to PC at all
one the one hand this tells you it will be a console port
on the other hand- the port may be better than most because the bugs will have shaken out by then
but it will still be a port- as long as it is not another one telling me to push the start button or use the L1 key
drives me insane.,,,

Microsoft is pretty bad about this, too. Fable 3 and Alan Wake, in particular, have set new records in platform delays.
