[360] Prey is out!

Superb demo, excellent graphics, fantastic productions values. Can't wait until this comes out.

First class.

The Doom3 engine has low texture maps, it did in Doom3 even at the highest settings.

I realise that, but things should still look better on a next-gen console. Reports are saying that the PC version has better textures, albeit with slightly less fancy effects, so IMO the 360 should at least equal it.

Seems a bit like marmite judging by the comments in this thread. Personally I thought this was going to be one of the games of the year, but all I see from the demo is standard FPS fodder. Nothing really groundbreaking, apart from the 'whooo I can walk upside down' or 'spirit' moments.

And when will we get past games where you move objects by playing football with them? I tried for 5 minutes to 'kick' one of those bombs up a ramp, I mean come on! :p

Thats a good point, and a bit annoying. It reminds me of how FarCry is better looking on PC despite being a good 2 years older than the Xbox360 version.

Personally Haze is the one I'm looking forward to anyway, more so than Prey or Gears of War. By the people behind Time Splitters that makes me a happy boy.
 
sorry but whats everyone moaning about :confused: , for a £199 console the graphics are amazing, I've compared the 360 and pc version side by side and they are practicly the same, everyone in the pc games forum are loving this demo yet here people don't like the game b-cos the textures look a little low or it may be lacking a bit in AA, I think people are expecting way too much from the 360 sometimes, just enjoy the game.
 
I found everything about this demo to be appauling :( Horrible sounds, poor animations (half of which don't even work in mirrored versions of yourself) and combat that is beaten by that of Duke Nukem in my eyes.

I was looking forward to this but am massively dissappointed in the final product.
 
I really like the game for its story, atmosphere and weapons but the graphics quality is really bugging me, when you start out looking in the mirror in the toilet I thought I was playing PS2 :p The face textures are nowhere near as good as COD2 or Oblivion.

Some of the background stuff is very poor too, I know that graphics arnt everything but it seems more and more games are slipping past that are built up to be uber looking and not really managing it. I think this is one to get for the PC really.

What part of these did you like? Not to say you are wrong obviously, but I thought the story was weak and cheesy, there was next to no atmosphere and the weapons were laughable... ripping off a yellow things leg and then throwing it to make it blow up? erm...

[pickymodeon] It's a demo. Not the final product[/pickymodeoff]








ps...apologies, but I'm in a VERY bad mood right now. *mumbles something about penalty shoot outs*
 
I just thought the story was pretty cool, I know its cheesy but I found it to be quite good, I really liked the way it gives you a tour of the spaceship when you get on board like the last level of HL2.

The style of the game when you are onboard is quite gritty too especially the machine thats stabs people with 5 poles repeatably and the episode in the room where the ghost kills those kids.

As for the weapons I really liked the fat weapon you get after moving your body along the platforms in spirit mode, you can charge it up to fire different shots with chargers on the wall.

The only thing thats a bit dubious for me is the teleports, I dont know why just not sure if I like them yet. :p
 
I was looking forward to the demo and am massively dissappointed in the final product. i.e the final demo product, so ner :P

*cries*

Yes just noticed that as well.

The thing is, the 360 should technically be better than my PC, apart from the RAM, so why the difference?

Low ram = low res textures(and/or texture variety). RAM is so important and console makers never seem to appreciate that :(
 
I liked the begining, and thought the portals and gravity shifting were good, but found the combat to be quite average. It's another one of the fps that doesn't feel like you're actually shooting the bad guys.

I agree. no sense of panic or doom. Just an average fps.
 
I personally quite liked the demo. Had quite a bit of variation in things to do due to the gravity effects etc.

For all those who found the action to be a bit boring need to remember you are playing right at the beginning of the game so the action isn't going to be that intense/varied compared to say half way through the game - We havn't met the real enemies yet :)

I personally found the graphics to be excellent and a massive improvement over quake 4 on the 360.

I think I will download it for my pc as well for a little comparison although for me this will be a definate purchase for me on the 360 :).
