GO DOWNLOAD THE PREY DEMO NOW!!!!
HOLY -blam!-!!!
That's easily one of the best games I've played in a LOOOOOOOONG time.
Beats the -blam!- out of Quake, Doom, etc. Almost as good as F.E.A.R....
I just don't understand why it's so unpopular, the single player is amazing.
I thought you were better than this, Nihilistic. F.E.A.R. on a side note is much more superior, not even close to Prey. Maybe it's better than Quake 4, but not better than Doom 3.
The single-player may be good, the visuals spectacular, but when you look at it, there's nothing original about it in terms of gameplay. The portals? Come on, they're really just doors with frills attached. The gravity puzzles aren't exactly genius, the weapons are practically the standard set of guns you'd find in a first-person shooter, just with an organic look. The multiplayer maps are too big, with the eight player limit (I'm pretty sure that's the max).
And Prey's age is quickly beginning to show, since it runs on the Doom 3 engine, which most systems today are beginning to handle well. It does look good mind you, but it looks a bit outdated compared to a game like F.E.A.R., and to be honest, I still think Doom 3 looks just as good, if not better.
Don't let the aesthetics detract you from realizing this is just another shooter. A solid one, mind you, but nothing too special.
