Just been playing multiplayer with EXTREME LAG, not sure if it's my isp or the game.

Same here.. think the net code is very buggy.. seems to be major lag on all servers

Hmmm downloaded it last night, quite large for a download but it d/l'ed quic enough.
Had a play on it and i thought it was quite interesting to say the least...seems ok to me...the sort of game that i do enjoy. Although gfx wise it isnt all that but i think ill keep my pre-order of this....it looked good enough demo wise and im sure the full game will be much much better.

i dont really like these type of games at all (although i love condemned)

wont be picking this up, not for any game coding reasons, just not my type of game

Agreed. There are some nice touches, but the combat is very average.

Got around to playing this and thought it looked better on the Xbox over the PC, this may be down to SM.3 but im not sure.

Be allright if i could work out how to get pass the first bit, goto the bit where the room makes his head hurt then I cant get any further...I suck at these type of games

You mean the bit where you crouch into a little room and there is like a metal hoop in the floor?

If so, look at it from the side furthest the entrance

What sort of pc do you have, I cant belive the x360 versions is better looking, i think that the x360 version is only using 2xaa and in some places it looks like it doesnt have any, the textures surely look better on the pc version, im guessing they had to drop the texture res as the x360 only has 512 of ram and some pcs have that just on the card.

Hehe i was stuck on that first part for a good 30 mins but i figured it out in the end. Basically go into that small room where your head hurts...crouch down and go into that box in the middle of the room...what happens is that you will be teleported to another part of the level. You will lose some health but you can stock it back up by going close to these things that are either on the ground or stuck to the wall..it sprays a purple/blue powder as you walk across it...but doesnt hurt you as it tops your health up.

Hope that helps

People, don't forget that the demo could be using smaller textures just to keep the demo size down as much as possible, even though it currently is large as it is.

The visuals we see here could very well improve in the final game.

When you play prey on a nice HDTV you can see it looks ace.

Well personaly I thought it looks a lot worse on the 360 than the PC textures seem low rez etc AA seems none or minimal. It may be due to the fact on what settings i was running on the PC. Maxed out GFX - bit of AA and running @ 1680x1050.

Me likey

Haven't tried it on the PC, think my X700 would throw a fit

kidloco · 3 Jul 2006 at 09:24

played the demo on the PC 1st and thought it looked fantastic, run really smoothly as well even with all the eye candy on, which was a shock as my 6800GT is getting very long in the tooth now.

DOwnloaded the 360 demo and it just looked carp in comparison, the textures are terrible compared to the PC version, oh well, ill stick to the PC this time round.

oh and its being played on a nice new pannasonic HDTV so its not that im affraid, think its just a case of a lazy pc port this time round. shame

Logsi · 3 Jul 2006 at 11:27

I think im going to have t play the pc demo again lol!!!

now that is good.

I don't get it, whats it have to do with Prey?

[SKR]Phoenix · 10 Jul 2006 at 19:59

Well, IF you actually read that thread, there's a post by one of the developers saying:

I can't see anywhere this has been mentioned, but the textures in the 360 demo were reduced in size from those used in the full game, in an attempt to keep the download size managable (yeah, we know)

As for asking for comments on why the 360 and PC versions are different, well, Venom just can't comment - not that we don't want to, we could rant for hours on the subject - we're just not permitted to (probably because we would rant for hours on the subject...)

So all this PC Vs 360 carp is just that, carp!
