Take Two confirms Prey, E3 showing News

PC News by Ellie Gibson

20 April, 2005

Following 3D Realms' announcement that Prey is back in development, Take Two has confirmed that it will publish the first-person PC shooter later this year.

Speaking to Eurogamer, the publisher verified rumours that the Prey will use the Doom 3 engine. It also reaffirmed an earlier statement by 3DR bigwig George Broussard on the developer's message boards that the game is being developed by Human Head Studios, a subsidiary of 3DR. Human Head's previous titles include Rune and Dead Man's Hand.

Prey was first announced back in 1997, but was later cancelled so the development team could concentrate on finishing other projects.

The game was to follow the adventures of a Native American warrior called Talon Brave as he battled it out against a load of alien races, and Take Two told us the storyline has not changed.

There's already a website up at prey.com, but nothing to see yet apart from a brief teaser - and that's only if you wait a little while. Trust us. All it not what it seems at first.

Take Two says Prey will hit the shops this winter, and they'll be showing the game off at E3 in May.

This being 3DR, until there's a box I can pick up in shops, I won't believe it.

In fact until it's running on my PC.

In fact until I am in-game ***actually shooting things in the face***, I will not believe it.

And perhaps not even then.

What's next? DNF being released? That would ruin the longest running joke on the internet...

to paraphrase beejay...
"Why won't 3DR *START* DNF first? That's a game I'm actually looking forward to..."

READ things first - it tends to help.

EDIT - AARGH! Why don't tags work in comments!?!

Wonder if DNF development will now change to to the Doom 3 engine too ? Quake 1 to Quake 2 to Unreal Warfare to Doom 3 engine seems possible -and they've taken down all DNF screenshots as they're 'no longer represent the games look'...

...or maybe they'll just wait for Unreal 4 ?

TBH I think they'll stick with Unreal 3 engine. Doom 3 engine won't give them the ability to do the large, open environments that they showed off at E3 years ago.

Neat to hear the storyline hasn't changed.

Prey is using the Doom 3 engine. Human Head Studios were recruituing people back in late 2004 with Doom 3 engine experience, so it's pretty certain.

As for 3DR releasing a game, their last one was Max Payne.

So they are making a Turok clone about eight years too late?

Tjees, talking about a ghost from the past! I remeber seeing the first screenie from this game back in '97 (or was it '96?) was on instant drool mode! Then Unreal came along and made me forget about this game! (come to think about it, it also made me forget about the world around me....WTF?!!! 2005 ALREADY!!!!!!!!????????? AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH..........)
