Didn't know that it did well enough to have a sequel. Perhaps I have some hope for other underdog games out there.

Was actually a pretty big fan of the original. This is pretty cool.

Prey was the best thing done with the Doom3 engine (sorry ID), great to hear that the sequel is still live :celebration:

But will it still be as harsh?

great game. They actually were making Prey back in 97'/98'... They had the basic premise and tech going way back then... Though the released game was a new one... still very similar though.

**Curious bit of trivia: Though unrelated to "Prey" the game... There used to be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzvwAnaRJlk, and what's curious, is that Mark Morgan licensed some of the music tracks later used in Fallout, for use in the show.

Hooray! Loved the first one.

Sweet, thought the first game was really good

It's been so long though that I can barely remember the story - might need to pick it up on Steam and give it a playthrough.

Good luck with that!

Yeah, I also read that they were indeed making a Prey 2, which is good news methinks. I enjoyed the first one and will have to replay it again sometime...

Prey was pretty awesome, hope this sequel will at least almost match it.

Prey used portals before portals were cool. I liked the first one. The only thing I didn't like was that there wasn't any challenge. You couldn't die.

but.. according to so many people we will all be dead in 2012.... So why do video game companies keep coming out with games in that year? DON'T THEY CARE WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop giving us hope!


ahem.. actually I didn't think the first one was awesome, but I did enjoy it. I bet the second one will be good though. It looks good!

Another one joins our ranks...

Waaah? Doom3 eases its writhing mass onto the toilet seat, opens the morning paper and relaxes, and drops a huge turd on Prey. lol

Don't get me wrong, or do, I don't mind. Prey was fun but it was nowhere near as polished as Doom3. It's ids engine so it was obviously used better. I mean for a start the vehicle sections of Prey were just plain bad, as bad as if not worse than the vehicle sections of Quake 4. More than most of the weapons were good for... uh... not much really. Decorating the environment? The levels were samey and repetitive. I mean the way they handled the actual design, turning maps this way and that, shrinking the player sometimes, and using portals was great... but come on... Doom3 is one of those games that will still be being played another ten years down the line.

I picked Prey up entirely by chance when I first bought a 360, great, entertaining game, characters were a bit flimsy, and the Native American mystical thing fell on its [censored] for me, as it does in most games and movies. I mean surely they could have devised something a little more original here? Spirit guides and whatnot... it's just been done so many times, and the same way every time. My greatest memory of Prey is being svcked up into the ship to the sound of, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper..." That's it! Maybe listening to the radio broadcasts, that was good... uhm... not much else. I couldn't tell you now what any of the enemies looked like. I'd say the only guardian I remember is a big spoiler so probably shouldn't. Having already played Quake 4 too... the whole conveyor belt, meat machine thing seemed a total hack, and rip-off of being kidnapped by the Strogg to me.

I liked the game, didn't replay it, it wasn't that good.

The last patch for Prey removes the DRM IIRC.

I couldn't stand Doom3... I do plan to buy it when it gets cheap enough ~but only so I can tinker around with the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewN2qBXQKXY Mod.

I've seen it for sale for as little as 99 pence. lol How cheap do you need it to be? Ha ha!

Doom3's level design had pretty nice details, and the Hell was excellent, but it realied too much on monster closets and cheap scares. IMO the fighting should've been at post-Hell levels ever since Alpha Labs. That opinion only reinforced by me once again replaying Plutonia experiment on Ultra-Violence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCGeNNvG0Z4). They don't make games like that anymore.

I'd love it if ID pulled the same thing as Capcom did with Mega Man, and release a new doom like the classics :hehe:
