IceBrewedBeer Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Either one is a good choice. Depends on preference. I, myself am getting it for PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I recently downloaded the demo off the Xbox Live Marketplace..I found it rather average to begin with, but once you get on the alien spacecraft (or whatever it is) things start getting interesting :cool: I'm not sure yet if I'll grab it..there are some other 360 games I wanna get first, maybe if I got some spare cash I'll grab it at a later date :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnmnky Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Cool. PC is cheaper, and the demo played at max settings, so I may as well grab it for that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 yeah PC should run pretty sweet for most since its using the 2+ year old Quake 3 engine. Looks very nice still. Either will be fine but I'll go pc since its an obvious choice...not owning an xbox n all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either will be fine but I'll go pc since its an obvious choice...not owning an xbox n all. Its using the Doom 3/Quake4 (same thing but slightly modified so better) engine, not Quake 3. Game looks good I may pick it up , loved the demo :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecaveman Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 One thing I want to know since I've been playing Quake 4 on the 360 that game is PAIN to play because of the slow loading times. Now Prey is using the same engine, will the loading times be as horrible? :( I would love to see them optimize the engine for the consoles with HDDs too. The Prey demo was pretty slow loading and that was not even loading from a CD but from the HDD so I gues I can expect even slower loading times in the final game. Or is there any chance they will fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely noticed any loading when I played Prey, perhaps 2 load screens throughout the whole thing :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguana Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 I just picked up a copy of Prey for 360... I thought I wouldn't be able to get one because I had not preordered it, but the guy at GameStop tells me they have tons and tons of copies just sitting in the back, for both 360 and PC. I'll post impressions in a few hours, or later tonight. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix XII Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'd get it for PC. I've tried it for both PC and 360 and if you have a good computer, I'd definitely buy it for the PC :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried it for both PC and 360 and if you have a good computer, I'd definitely buy it for the PC :p I wanted to buy it for PC, but my video card isn't top of the line... and I'd have to turn off a few effects for semi decent FPS, so I chose 360 instead. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolimit05 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I have played DOOM 3 on my PC and could not run it but on like mid-level settings but even though Pry was built on the DOOM 3 engine I can run the demo on max settings with very little lag in FPS. It is very strange to me and prey even looks better than DOOM3 ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo003 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 ^ Maybe just MAYBE since they had long time to optimized the doom3 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads faster on the PC, i had my PC and 360 Side by side, compared the two, and the PC has slightly better AA and loads more AF (when enabled), and the load times are around 10 seconds better on average.. The PC > 360 on this game at least.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyarecomingforyou Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I'd say a 9.0 from IGN is too high... a quick look at the reader average gives a more accurate score of 8.1. The game is enjoyable and solid but it's not very deep, the AI is dreadful, the plot is poor, the characters are not as well modelled/animated as HL2 and the environments are very repetitive. Quake 4, whilst not amazing, at least had a variety of levels and was, despite the familiar gameplay, more enjoyable. I was slightly disappointed with Prey, as the videos looked amazing - the gameplay just isn't a fun as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
