Prey sequel confirmed News

Actually, Prey was announced in 1997 as well.

Also, plenty of games end with a cliffhanger or "to be continued" message but never get a sequel. XIII for example.

The game is very, very nice (just a notch below brilliant in my book), but some elements seem half-cooked. The heritage of the hero has not been exploited to the fullest, and the portals ultimately replace doors and closets of Doom 3. The gravity defying stuff is nice though.

I suppose the sequel should take place on an alien planet.

You mean like in serious sam?

Did you even bother to read the article? :|

So Prey 2: Passion of the Crap Spraying Sphincter Aliens sould be out in, what, 2015?

Thats cool. I should just about have paid off my mortgage in time to get a PS5 to play it on. Unless its an Xbox 1440 exclusive, in which case, i'll probably already have one.

Xerx3s:

The original article said 1998, not 1997. Obviously a quick edit ;)

shame it's not all that great from what i've read. gamespot gave it a 7.5. ho hum.

Well Stoopidgreg, you've not read everything it seems:

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platform...

more like 8-9/10 - that's worth investigating surely?

But sometimes GameSpot DOES get it right! ;-). The problem with this game is that it is SLIGHTLY disappointing, given the potential. But if you are yearning for a shooter, this is a competent, polished and surprisingly PC-friendly package - it will run just fine on any midrange PC. Also the overall design displays a lot of imagination. Definitely get it.

Stoopidgreg - Gamespot took a very weird line on Prey I can say that its much much MUCH better then Doom3 and Quake4 yet Gamespot gave the game a lower score then Quake4?

Normally I have alot of respect for Gamespot I just feel they goofed on this one they seemed to miss the fun of the game (the music the locations the twisting levels etc...) and decided to concentrate on the graphics and the portals.

Portals by the way are very cool and well done. I would say this game was easily up in the 9 - 10's

So 7/10 games are'nt worth playing anymore? Guess I better throw 2/3 of my collection in the bin if I go by Edge reviews.

only 2/3, so that means you must have about 10 games ;)

scores are different depending on the site or publication. generally gamespot awards quite high scores, so a 7.5 isn't that great. with EG and edge, a 7 or 8 is a good score.

anyway, according to gamerankings the average score is 85% so it must be quite good. i really liked the demo but i can imagine it getting repetitive very quickly since they introduce all the game devices (gravity, portals, weird weapons, etc) very early on. from the videos i've seen it just looks like a standard shoot-em-up which i can't be bothered with these days.

It can't get repetitive since it's sp only lasts 6 hours...

I must admit that the demo was the first FPS I've had fun playing in ages. Seemed a lot better than either Doom 3 or Quake 4 to me, I'll definitely be buying it tomorrow.

So....... what happened to the in-depth review "on the morning of its release"?

I really liked Prey on the Xbox 360. I rated Prey an 8 on a scale of one-to-ten. I would have rated Prey a 10 like I did Call of Duty 2, if Prey would have met the performance criteria that Call of Duty 2 did. For example, Call of Duty 2 runs at a very smoot 60 Frames Per Second with Full Screen Anti Aliasing and absolutely no V-Synch graphic page-tearing flaws. The PC version of Prey runs at 60 Frames Per Second, but the Xbox 360 version only runs at 30 Frames Per Second. This meant that the Frame Rate smoothness was just not there like it was in Call of Duty 2. As a result, I was forced to rate Prey lower, even though Prey was superior to Call of Duty 2 in many ways in regards to gameplay and strategy. Prey doesn't have any other graphic flaws; it actually looks very nice! If the Frame Rate would have run at that magic number of 60 Frames Per Second, I would have rated this game a 10!

Next Generation game developers need to remember that the human eye sees things very differently when 60 Frames Per Second are displayed on screen. Even if the Frame Rate is 59 Frames Per Second, the human eye is not deceived into 100% smoothness like Call of Duty 2. The key is 60 Frames Per Second at all times! And for crying out loud, if 60 Frames Per Second can't be maintained at all times, then at least make sure Full Screen Anti Aliasing is used at all times!!! If that cannot be maintained, then it is time to start removing polygons from each frame, especially if pop-up or jagged lines are occuring!!!

You do know Mike that films and TV only run at 24-30fps.
