PREY the god of FPS

[Mag]

this game is definitley one of the best FPS I have ever play, this game is really on par or better than the current top FPS out there(HL2, farcry, FEAR,etc).

 

I nearly pissed myself from the visual I lay my eyes out on. Yeah this game utilize the Doom3 engine. The gameplay is too unique and totally new, words can't describe it, you have to see for yourself. This game has some elements of HL, doom, farcry, well pretty much what you wanted. Btw.. did I mentioned how awsome the visual is? played it on high setting, I play this so fukkin smooth on an mid-end card (hell, I lagged when playing Q4).

 

hmm.. you know, so far the demo is pretty long. I haven't even finish it yet. In anycase, if I ain't lazy to re-download fraps again, I'll post some screenies.

yea its definitely nice for a demo so far.

 

monkeywrench + biker = bloody classic

I've been thinking of getting this for the 360, I'll give the demo a shot.

[Gryph]

Yes, it rules. Finally I get to play what I've been waiting for since 1998!!

[Agozer]

Oh My. flocking. God. Awesomeness.

 

This game will definitely take the No.1 spot on my must buy games list.

 

I remember an interview like from way back in 1998 when they showcased the first Prey engine and the portals. Oh man, the portals.

 

Prey been in development for a long time, and finally I get to experience it.

 

Feels a bit like Turok meets Quake 4.

We are now starting an office lan party playing Diablo 2 and Fifa World Cup

Yeh its fun... multiplayer i found was pretty decent compared to my dodgy Doom 3 and Quake 4 experiences on this crappy dsl connection.

 

But still.. what else is new? So what there are portals which are a nice gimmick and the whole plane of gravity shifting etc but otherwise what makes this special? Seems like a solid average shooter to me.

Looks very, very, very ordinary.

Looks very, very, very ordinary.

Not really. But it plays very well.

Not really. But it plays very well.

And the weapons aren't ordinary either.

Same here. Portal Tech FTW!

Oh, please. It's got nothing that interesting to offer. YAY YOU CAN WALK ON WALLS (In the designated areas only). YAY PORTALS WOW (Yay doors). And I really can't even remember what was different about the weapons. What, they shoot puppies or some crap? Really, how new can it be?

 

Oh wait, I do remember one weapon. In the "Other world" they had a bow and arrows. You're right, that IS new and innovative! Such advanced technology; who could imagine?

 

And what's the premice? You're fighting against EVIL ALIENS? I don't think that's been done before!

 

It's just Quake with shiny walkways that you can walk on crap with and doors that appear out of nowhere. And possibly puppy shooters (Which would actually rock).

 

I'm so tired of the same overhyped crap being released and making money. What happened to new concepts? New ideas? New anything?

 

You know, when the Wii was first announced, I thought it was a bad idea. But over time I realized that it's better something new came out, because, frankly, I'm so damn tired of playing the same games with different names.

 

So what makes this game any different from the normal? What, really?

[Gryph]

I can tell that no amount of text will change your mind so I think that the demo should speak for itself. If you don't want to play it, fine. I don't want to bang my head against the wall trying to convince one person to play it.

 

If you break down all the parts of the game and trivialise them like that then of course it won't look interesting (this goes for any game really). It's how all of those bits come together to provide a cohesive and fun twist on the old FPS formula. Is this game revolutionary in any aspect? Absolutely not. What does the game offer that's getting it all this praise? It's just very fun. That's pretty much the only criteria I care about for games. The level design is inventive and cool with the use of the wall walking, gravity flipping, and portals; the weapons are a nice alien twist on convential human weapons (there is one weapon that shoots explosive crab like things); and the combat feels solid. Those are three most important things for an FPS and it does them very well.

 

I, too, am a jaded gamer but not as much as you it seems. I would like to new ideas and new concepts just as much as you and hope the Wii can deliver on that. That's why I was always a supporter since the beginning but I still doubt that we'll see anything radically different.

 

In the meantime I'll just continue having what fun I can with regular games like Prey and whatnot.

Cliffs note version:

 

Just don't fu cking play it. We don't need another douchebag coming in who hates FPS games because they're all the same to him. And frankly, people don't care when you said it once.

The question was more of what you guys who think its the shi t because of, and less 'convince me to play it.' Chill the flock out.

 

I think the notion of Turok meets Quake sums up the way I feel about this pretty well. Turok is cool. Quake is cool. This is cool. But its not new. I'll still play it because it's cool but I still can't see what is sooo special about it barring its almost 10 year production history.
