Prey Reviewed!

Look forward to it.

I'll be playing Oblivion/BF2MC/GRAW Demo until then.

Wrong forum, toots.

Wrong forum, toots.

I think the PC and 360 demos are coming out at the same time.

[Digital Limit]

I think the PC and 360 demos are coming out at the same time.

That's the rumor, anyway.

[foshizzle]

360 Version out tommorow, PC Version at 9:00 PM Pacific time today, 7:00 on My watch...

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Man... I can't wait for it today... That is if I can play it...

[Digital Limit]

"Fans looking forward to the Xbox 360 demo will also be able to obtain it on the 22nd, but the time it will be posted on the Xbox Live Marketplace is unknown to us at the moment. That's not under our direct control, that is up to Microsoft, but we're told it will be on the 22nd, we're just not sure what time yet."

Oh, I'll wait as long as I have to.

[xenophage]

So is the PC one out yet?

[RogerWilco]

Apparently it is. Anyone have anything to say about it? Any screenshots. Maybe it's so good they can't take the time to give us their impressions.

[RAY16]

I enjoyed it. Gravity changes are tad disorienting at first but I got used to it after a bit. I'm looking forward to the full game.

Update on Prey Demo for Xbox 360

Here's a quick message from our forums, posted by 3DR president George Broussard about availability of the Prey 360 Demo.

We do not want 360 people waiting up for the demo or having false expectations. The 360 demo will not appear on Marketplace tonight.

I'm still waiting for specifcs, but I'm being told that it's still in testing at Microsoft. From what I understand this isn't Microsoft's fault, and is more likely just an issue of timing.

I'm hesitant to give any estimates for a release, but I've been told it should be reasonably soon after the PC release, but could be as long as a few days.

We will post an update as soon as we have more solid information.Update on Prey Demo for Xbox 360

That was a self-contained double-post. Only DL...

[Digital Limit]

Heh, blame the site.

[xenophage]

Like Ray said, it's pretty disorienting at first, but it's a fucking wicked game. ANy one tried MP cos I can't connect to a server from office

[Digital Limit]

Bleh, it wasn't released on Xbox Live. Looks like I'm waiting until Monday.

[Digital Limit]

Or until never. Microsoft needs to get me this demo, ASAP.

[Jwr5]

MP is good as long as you can find a server with a low ping. The gravity changes make for some very interesting game play since you need to watch for guys on all sides and on the ceiling. There are some weapon balancing issues, but overall it is fun.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

I won't complain about balancing. Only because it allowed me to go 4 rounds undeafeated.

[Digital Limit]

This game feels like Quake 4 all over again, but with some innovation.

I predict low scores.

[xenophage]

wtf you smoking dude, the game was way better than Quake4

[Digital Limit]

But it feels exactly like Quake IV, but with gravity an portals.

Prey is a bit better because of those two things, but it still feels and plays just like it, and has adopted the same terrible netcode.

Edit: Though, I do appreciate the Spirit Bow. That little change in strategy is nice.

[Downfall]

link for us lazy fuckers?

[Digital Limit]

To the demo? This is the Xbox 360 thread, so I can't really oblige.

[Downfall]

damnitall

[Digital Limit]

Man, the strategies as associated with the spirit bow are awesome. It's so very satisfying to quick dash around a corner and drop your spirit on a guy waiting beyond. He'll attempt to shoot your spirit before realizing the obvious, and just when he decides that attacking you is good, you're already back in your body and ready to slap him in the face for having the confidence he lacked just moments ago. Of course, you won't necessarily need this tactic if you're simply raping with rockets or the sunbeam-enhanced Leech gun. Though, when you are getting raped, another great Spirit defense is to hide and then go searching for health with your Spirit. As long as no one saw you duck under the stairs or in a dark corner, they'll usually pass right by you. Sadly, as I now realize, the Spirit does lend itself to campers very well. Simply find your camping spot, use your spirit to collect all the weapons and ammo, and go cuhrazy.

Anywho, enough of that; I have a few other questions.

Does anyone know what weapons we're missing that will be in the full game?

What does the pipe do? You know, that thing that makes your health turn light blue..

[halomizer]

1.17 gb! fuck

[Dark_Swordmaster]

It has all the weapons it would seem.

No clue on the pipe. Anyone?

[Downfall]

well fuck


cant play it, hardware not up to par. not exactly suprised though :(


fuck and just when ill finaly have enough $ to get a new computer i have to spend that $ on furnature...grrr...

[Dark_Swordmaster]

???

I thought you had a badass rig.

Specs! NOW! SCHNELL!

[Downfall]

aww hell naw

im running a 4 year old Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop here

i was barely able to run the doom and quake demos.

Prey gave me a grey screen and then made the whole screen flicker and give me a double image.

You are still in the wrong thread..

[Downfall]

care not I!!!

[Vlad]

Shouldn't 3D Realms be working on duke nukem forever? WTF is this shit? Huh? WTF?

Instead of a duke nukem forever demo, they give us a quake 4 clone demo. WTF? WTF? WTF! FUCK!

[tisl]

Who the cock told you that Prey was being developed by 3D Realms? Human Head was behind it. 3D Realms just had a part in producing or something.

You sir, are an idiot.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

He always has been. Sans linking us to TASpring, which isn't that awesome, Vlad has only done counter productive things, mainly involving DNF. It appears he's a big fan of the game/series and with every announcement of delay he cut a new date into his arm with an X-acto knife.

I do indeed pity this poor creature...

I accept your pity. Keep it coming.

Also, I am not surprised TA Spring does not meet your high standards, I mean, how could it? Graphics whores should just stick to the basics, like graphics. So go play your prey demo, at least it looks good.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

And plays hella awesome. Unlike your DNF, which doesn't play at all, and most likely never will.

[Vlad]

I don't really care about DNF. If it ever does come out I probably won't even bother playing it. FPS's need to die out like good little stale genres.

[Digital Limit]

Yeah, fuck the FPS. Who plays those, anyway?

Oh wait, they're the defining genre.

Idiot.

[WhoGivesARatsAss]

I think the only thing that needs to die is you.

[Vlad]

I think the only thing that needs to die is you.

Make me, or alternatively, click on the treasure trooper linky in my sig. :)

I dare you!

[Digital Limit]

Halomizer and myself played some Prey demo the other day.

As good as his wrenching skills are, he's no match for me and my rocket-launcher whoring.

Prey Reviews are out!

IGN (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/717/717824p1.html)

9.0

Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/prey/review.html?sid=6153775)

7.5

1up (http://1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3142592)

8.2

The reviews are a bit wishy-washy, but it seems like Gamespot is more of the odd duck than the rest.

It's looking like an 8.5 kind of game.

[tisl]

Wow, it looks like they forgot to pay off GameSpot.

[foshizzle]

Damn, why did gamespot give it a bad score???

http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1191/Prey/p1/

[san_pali]

:rolleyes:

[RAY16]

7.5 is not a bad score. If anything, far too many games get 9.0 and above these days, and most don't deserve it.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

I'm going to agree. 5/10 is halfway, average.

But most sucky games get ~5... Something's wrong there...

[Digital Limit]

Yeah yeah, we all know about the 7-9 scale that we're stuck with.
