For those of you who havnt played PREY.......

Post by Dragon_Cooler »

PLAY IT!!!!

This isnt just another FPS. The multiplayer is ungodly and soo freaking trippy. There are these gravity walls everyhwere that you can walk upside down so you can carry on fights upsidedown and on the side of walls. The single player demo is awesome!!! The game pretty much leaves me speechless.


To play multiplayer on the demo you need a program called Qtracker
http://www.Qtracker.com

then you need the patch
http://www.qtracker.com/download.php?file_id=124,145

Once in qtracker right click internet games under prey and hit find internet games.

my friend was telling me about it today, he said it was the most gore-y game he's played, but frightening was that its also the most realistic gore wise.

might be worth a play :P

I had been wondering what the hype was surrounding this game. I wasn't too thrilled about another Doom3/Quake4 look a like. I'm doing a review and this is one of the games that was requested to be included so I thought I'd check it out to find a good demo spot.
I ended up playing through the demo.......wow! This game impressed the hell out of me. If you haven't played it you are missing out on something great.

YES it's so great. Me and Dragoncooler played the MP for like 1.5-2hours this morning. I must say, it's pretty damn unique.. not a Doom3/Quake4 look-a-like.

Wild. Must be a nightmare to look for a sniper when you're in a big room with tons of those anti-gravity walls :P

Nope, the snipers have a laser beam heh. The fun thing is hiding in a corner and going after people in your spirit form :)

I played through the demo last night and it looked pretty cool... It looks too much like DOOM 3 and Quake4 to me... oh well... I can't believe this game has been in the making since 1996... 10 years!

tejmar, sorry to say this but your gonna have to download the whole demo again. It looks like the download cut short, so the zip file is incomplete, the actual file should be 449MB, if you look your zip file will be smaller than that.

You definitely don't want to play this then...the room turns upside down, walkways go up the walls and across the ceilings etc. It even makes me a little queasy

It looks too much like DOOM 3 and Quake4 to me
I have to agree with that one. Game looked very much like Doom 3 and parts of it reminded me soooo much of Quake 4 and even Quake 2.

Still, a very cool game and worth picking up.
