Prey is golden, will hunt on July 11th

by Ross Miller { Jun 28th 2006 at 8:02PM }

2K Games announced today that Prey has gone gold. Developed by Human Head Studios "under the direct supervision of 3D Realms," Prey is the latest first-person shooter to hit the market. The official release date is July 11th for North America and July 14th for Europe.

3D Realms will be using their share to ramp up development on Duke Nukem Forever. We hope.

The demo is available now for the PC. As for the Xbox 360 demo, don't ask Major Nelson -- he is a bit fed up with the inquisition.

I'm completely sold on this game after playing the demo on my PC. It just felt so fresh and interesting. It's easily one of the best shooters I've played since Half Life.

@ Brazil la Zamba:

2 words for you:

Use Google

I feel the same way. I was a bit skeptical before, but this game will be a welcome addition to my library. The demo was great, and I can't wait to see what the rest of the game offeres...hopefully it holds up.

#6 Library?

Library for books? Don't you mean my gaming library! LOL!!!

Not only was it awesome but it ran incredibly smooth. Now granted I have a pretty beefy machine (dual core AMD, SLI 7800GTs, 2GB RAM)...but since the game doesn't support SLI (right now at least) I can't wait to see how it runs when nvidia gets SLI support working for the game.

"Library for books? Don't you mean my gaming library! LOL!!!"

Hey, Brazil la Zamba. Library doesn't mean books, you idiot! We all what "library" if referring to because of the context in which it is used. Quit being a dick.

I totally agree with number 9.

"...the latest first-person shooter to hit the market."

Jason @ Jun 29th 2006 1:49AM

@vrf:
Here's an example of how your statement can be used for anything and sound clever, yet still makes you look like a dick.

Time travel! Back to when Baldur's Gate II went gold.
"... the latest RPG to hit the market."
wow, so fresh and original.

Time travel! Back to when Resident Evil 2 went gold.
"... the latest survival horror game to hit the market."
wow, so fresh and original.

Time travel! Back to when Mario Bros. 3 went gold.
"... the latest platforming game to hit the market."
wow, so fresh and original.

Still don't think you're making an ass out of yourself?

You make me sick as a fellow gamer to strike something down with such belittling sarcasm when it has the chance to change the face of the gaming market with a unique IP and a different style of gameplay.

The genre doesn't make the game, the games make the genres.
