Prey

As promised here is the second first 10 minutes of Prey on Xbox 360, this time showing what's happening after the ending of the demo. I'm sure you have already noticied, either by playing or by watching the videos that Prey is a very linear and totally scripted game. Some people will hate this, others will love it. Personally I'm quite enjoying this game, with lots of very good and creative ideas like portals and gravity changes that add a real plus to an otherwise rather classic gameplay. The game can be finished in about 6 hours, but these are 6 excellent hours where a lot of stuff happens. The multiplayer mode could have added to this, but I really found it too limited to be much more than a nice bonus. Also worth noting, the framerate can from time to time get rather bad, proving once again after Quake 4 that the Doom 3 engine isn't at all designed for the 360 architecture.

Prey is one of these mythical games like Duke Nukem Forever or Team Fortress 2, announced years ago and either disappearing completely, or barely looking alive. Well, who would have thought 18 months ago that Prey would be in stores now, and that Team Fortress 2 would be back again? Certainly not me, so I'm quite happy to present this video of the first 10 minutes of Prey, that many of you guys certainly know already thanks to the demo. My full impressions and another video, this time showing what's happening after the demo ends will be online either tonight or tomorrow.

Here is another multiplayer video of a PC port, this time the colorful Prey. Again, I haven't played it myself, but the game seemed pretty neat graphic-wise.
Update: Low resolution version added.

Also from the 2K Games press kit, here are some images from the PC version of Prey, along with 2 artworks.

Prey keeps impressing me with all these nice gravity and portals ideas. This trailer really shows off this, and is really well done.

As always now, Microsoft did a video montage of a bunch of Xbox 360 games, some showing some short bits of unseen before gameplay footage.

2K Games keep releasing their release countdown trailers for Prey, even though it's still two months till the release of the game. This one presents the portals and gravity fllipping. 3D Realms recently posted their Prey_weekly_update_17.html target=_blank>17th weekly update, and the MultiPrey sounds pretty cool to play.

2K Games released a three minute long gameplay trailer, presenting a lot of new stuff actually. The portals looks cool as hell, and the minimize-feature is quite impressive. The overall art isn't in my taste though. The released date for the US is now 10th of July, and you can now see how the Collector's Edition looks.

Human Head Studios has released a four minute long trailer for Prey, titled "The Super trailer". The game can be super in many ways, but one thing is for certain: it's super-delayed, but also super-revolutionary and super-cool. Seems like 2K Games will have at least two smash hits this year.

2K Games released two short single player videos, and a quite long multiplayer from Prey - all in 720p. The last one is heavely confusing though, it will probably take some time to get used to the physics. There's also four images from the PC-version in the news.
