just played around with the boxes/portals where you can see yourself from another place, you can actually shoot and other stuff through the portal and it will all hit in the appropriate place...including yourself :D

Lol, i killed myself on that bit as i thought it was someone else at first. :rolleyes: *stupid*
 
I enjoyed the demo, however I have a fear* it could be a bit samey and I could get very sick of Wise Old Indian Man™. I think I will wait until the reviews come out before ordering.


*Boomtish. ;)

You don't need to add anything to your shortcut...

1. Do a search for the file "preyconfig.cfg" (without the quotes...)

(Should be in the Prey Demo\base folder in Program Files...)

2. Open this file in notepad, and scroll down or do a search to find this section:

seta r_customHeight "900"
seta r_customWidth "1400"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_displayRefresh "0"
seta r_mode "-1"



In your case set it exactly as I have here, and you will have the resolution you wanted... For anybody else, leave all as it is but change the "customheight" and "customwidth" to the values you require.

3. If you are using a widescreen 16:9 resolution you also need to set:

seta r_aspectRatio "1"

Otherwise 16:10 is "3" and 4:3 is "0"

Now Save and play! :)

Hope this helps!

With 8 people changing the gravity and being on the ceiling its going to be pretty compicated already. I have problems with 8 people on CS. :p

What exact model is your monitor? I ask because if that is the exact res then there shouldn't be a bar of any kind...
 
They must have had a damn hard time writing the engine for that game, with the gravity.

The portals aren't really that impressive. In fact, they are preset and always take you to exactly the same place. It'd be cooler if they popped up randomly, and closed after you walked through them.

I uses a mostly unmodified Doom3 Engine... I imagine the gravity shift is eay to implement, just add and change the direction of acting forces...

Yes, but there are characters in different phases of gravity at the same time. Especially in multiplayer.

I've had to play this a bit over two days because the gravety changes give me a headache :eek:
