Well the Prey demo has finally made it out onto the XBox Live Marketplace. Although it's a little over a week later than we expected, it's better late than never. Hop onto XBox Live and download it.

Edit: I do miss the resolution on my PC + it's gonna be cheaper. Also I think it may be because the game is set to run in 4:3 on a PC but on this as you look round you get that effect like when you stretch a 4:3 game like Halo to 16:9. It goes all kinda warped when you look left to right. A bit like tunnel vision. Hopefully this will be fixed by the time it comes out.

isnt that kind of weird that everyone besides the us and canada get chromehounds? i cant wait tho its at 54% after a half hour i might just create another profile for japan or some shiznit like that just 2 get it even tho it ll be here in about a week or 2
Didn't like the chromehounds demo at all.
I'm also a massive fan of Steel Battallion and I always liked the armored core series which was FROM SOFTWARE (wonder if they're making an Otogi 3) as well. So it's not just a question of taste.

I have to agree.
Like I said above. At least it's cheaper on PC and it'll be a higher res.

And you guys need to quit complaining. PC will have better detail since those games run higher than 1280x720. Of course, when you run at least 1280x1024.
I have no idea Grander. I see a bunch of nitpicky pricks in here. I like the demo. Gives me an eerie doom feel but better. It's what doom should of been.

its a demo so technical problems set aside I see this as being the next big thing. It boggles my mind with all the portals and gravity effects, its quite difficult to remember which way is down.
Im still on the fence whether Ill buy it or not, just dont have that much money

And try playing the 360 on the same damn computer monitor before you go saying the textures are not as good and such. Because if you are comparing the PC version on a PC monitor to the 360's on an HDTV, then no shit the textures will look better on a pc monitor.

i dont have a problem with the textures & i didnt have a problem with the framerate in Quake 4 but after the devs said this game was going to have a smooth framerate i was expecting it to have one! imo its worse than Q4 in tearms of framerate
im not saying that because its 30 instead of 60 because that doesnt bother me, its the way it takes a dive from time to time thats pissing me off
i can play if at max setting on my PC

Sorry I didn't read all the posts so some of what I'm about to state may not be new. I was just a little underwelmed. THe graphics looked amazing till you get close to an object, so that was a plus. I'm old school and am really not comfortable with the F bomb getting dropped in games these days. It just seems liek a cop out to avoid saying something clever. I'm also just not buying into these shooters that have such jerky unrealistic movement: like Unreal Tournement. I like Halo because it lets me use my natural controls (Legacy Inverted), the action is fast but the characters have weight to them. I know Chief jumps high, but he runs in a manner different than rabbit. Now a game that I have qued on my Gamefly may be getting removed.

I would have to agree looks damn good on my lcd pc monitor , But slightly lower on my hdtv wich displays at 1080i wich still looks great especially for viewable area 32in compared to 17in. Still blows away graphics of other 360 games. The framerate issues seem to be non exsistent on my 360, might be the fact I just had my launch system replaced due to the the red ring of death, otherwise your setup is probably flawed. So dont listen to all these bitches saying it sucks andits like quake 4 becuz it aint at all. Multiplay wasnt working yesterday I would give it a day or so, they have been having server problems hence the demo delay and such.

yea, when you turn your head real fast in some areas, it can get choppy. Detracts quite a bit from the experience. Then there's the fact that the game is nothing I haven't played before. I can walk upside down, wow...

You have virtually an identical rig to me. The only difference is that I have 2 7800gtx in SLi.

As far as people having framerate issues on larger tv's, I don't see it. I have a 61" DLP and mine operated smoothly, no jerkiness and no jumping around. You guys might want to see if your tv's arn't up to par, all of those "Bargin" HDTV's arn't always what they're cracked up to be. I thought I heard somewhere that LCD's are succeptible to framerate problems, I could be wrong though.
Personally I think people need to stop picking apart every little bad part of a game. I'd rather see the graphics get a little weak in trade off for a game with quality play control and most importantly, a good story to follow. There just arn't enough games anymore that follow a decent story line.

I enjoyed the puzzles, doom 3 didn't really have any puzzles. A couple of them took me a few moments to figure out (when you have to be standing on the gravity strip and then spirit walk to the switch to move your body across the room).
The enemies are kind of stupid, but there also isn't really a big variation in the demo, according to some previews there are a lot more enemies, so maybe they will be a bit smarter, but I don't have my hopes up.
Overall though the game accomplished what any good game shoud, it was entertaining. I didn't notice any framerate issues and the graphics looked the same as my top end PC (However I do play my 360 on a PC monitor).

You can actually change the song on the jukebox when you are in the bar. There is a judas priest song and some others that I don't know.
I didn't have any framerate or tearing issues, and I enjoyed doom 3 so I think this will fill my fast twitch killing need.
Post by: crobar on July 11, 2006, 09:38:00 AM
saw alot of tearing in the whole cave area and a small amount of frame rate hickups, but nothing too noticable
and then picked up my hd screen played it in 720 p
and it played as if i was on a new system the tearing was gone and i have no frame rate issues?
could it be a downscale problem?
Post by: twistedsymphony on July 11, 2006, 10:14:00 AM
but never-the-less different settings will net different results with some games. 720p is usually a safe bet as all 360 games are optimized at that resolution.... anything else is an afterthought.
