Prey Demo Available Tomorrow

[luigionlsd]

God, Microsoft makes me angry... "testing"... yeah right, they're just too lazy to upload the demo. You guys with real PCs at the moment better enjoy it!

 

[akshayt]

Yeap.. D3 cousin all teh way... MP seems interesting though..

The MP is insane IMO. Like old school Quake3 action, but with maps made by MC Escher.

My bro installed this on his POS P4-1.8GHz Northwood with an ATI 9000 radeon and it actually played pretty good for him. And it looked surprisingly good considering it was 640x480 with all the settings on low.

They should make a ton of cash with this game if only because it will run good on darned near anything, lol.

Does look like D3, but gameplay could potentially be way better... I like the ramps =) Runs fine on an X800XL

PS: Uh oh, is Akshayt's X1900XTX still not working right?

 

[akshayt]

I am getting NeoHE 500 and after that the problem will probably be settled.

Back to halo 2 mp

Nope, runs steady smooth FPS. Then again, I do have a SLI rig. (thats with 4xAA, 16xAF, TRSS, and Gamma AA and Gamma AA is free though, no performance hit)

Anyone else think the topic title should be changed to "Prey Demo (now) Availible".

hmm, as do I. Its silky smooth at 1920x1200 4xaa8xaf except when one of those damn portals pops up. anyone else having similar problems?

 

[cpacini]

nevermind, renaming the .exe fixed things

Nice Demo. Very smooth with max settings, 6xAAA/16HQAF.

Do I need 24bit Z buffer depth? I have it enabled but quite honestly this is my first experience with an OpenGL title on the PC.

Prey is D3D, not OpenGL.

I really liked this game.

it's just d3
with 11tybillion overdone specular highlighted textures
the tearing is incredibe without vsync (no other engine tears like this for me without vsync)

...gameplay could be fun tho...

runs very nicely on my 6600GT tho..i didn't expect to be able to run a mid 2006 game with 2xAA/8xAF at 1024 and every detail maxed

good to hear dug! im downloading the demo now...1024x768 you say? hmm, hopefully with some tweaking and fiddling around, 1280x1024 might be possible.

where are you akshayt?

Really? Wasn't Doom3 OpenGL?

Uh no it's not.

Good Demo, and yeah it did remind me of Doom3, as soon as I looked at the console. I totally dislike the multiplayer though, how weird can you get. The weapons also are a bit of a nuisance, but definately creative.

Here are some screenshots:

PS- I thought they did an excellent job by incorporating the ruthlessness factor in the game. Anyone remember the scene in the demo when those two kids are locked in that room? That scene got me.

Then they did an excellent job on converting the D3 engine from OGL to D3D... :disgust:
