Prey LCE Box Art & A Dedication

[Joe Siegler]

A few days back we posted the final box art for both the PC & Xbox 360 versions of Prey. Today we're here to bring you what the final version of the Limited Collector's Edition box arts look like. As you may remember, the LCE comes with not just the game, but some extra goodies. A couple of pewter figures, a booklet on the Art of Prey, and other cool stuff. This all comes in a cool metal box, so here's what you'll see when you get your copy.

If you haven't pre-ordered yours, we've recently expanded the pre-order program that is available in North America & Canada with additional outlets to pre-order from. Remember, if you pre-order you get the third pewter figure (Mutate) as well, so if you're interested in all the figures, pre-ordering the LCE is something you're going to want to do. You can check out the full details of the pre-order program on our site here (http://www.3drealms.com/prey/preorder.html).

Finally, now that Prey is out, we wanted to take this moment to remember a fallen comrade, William Scarboro. William was one of the orginal Prey team back in 1995, he worked here on Rise of the Triad as well. Unfortunately, and quite sadly, William died in August of 2002 (http://www.3drealms.com/news/2002/08/william_scarbor.html) of an asthma attack. It is to my great pleasure that he is remembered 11 years later upon the release of Prey, as the entire game has been dedicated to William, Prey's original lead programmer. If you've run through the credits of the demo already, you will have seen the dedication already, but if you haven't, here's what it looks like.

Yes I noticed that dedication. It is a very nice gesture.

[ZuljinRaynor]

So it's the same art as the regular?

[Joe Siegler]

So it's the same art as the regular?

Not quite (http://www.3drealms.com/news/2006/06/prey_demo_almost_here.html).

[ZuljinRaynor]

Yes, I realize that it says LCE on it, but what is the metal case then? For the DVD? Or is the Box sleeving the metal case?

Also, I liked the regular art so it's cool the LCE seems to be the same.

[Joe Siegler]

All that stuff goes in the metal box.

[ZuljinRaynor]

Oh... that's cool. So a box in a box. \o/

[InAction]

Do you have any idea if we overseas will be able to get it from the US or Canada? :(

[Damien_Azreal]

Yeah I saw the credits and thought that was a beautiful geasture. Really shows how much you guys miss him and such.

That LCE box is awesome. Can not wait for my copy to show up! :D That box is gonna go up right above my monitor. :D

[Joe Siegler]

Do you have any idea if we overseas will be able to get it from the US or Canada? :(

I honestly can't say. That stuff is up to 2K, and unless they give me news otherwise... That thing isn't up to us - it's up the people who put the game in the stores.

I have rung GAME head office, Virgin headoffice and HMV head office they dont know anything about know Prey LE for UK! So which major retailers said they dont want to stock it?

Well why doesnt take 2 come in here and tell us whats what in regards to the LE for Europe?

They had a sucess with Oblivion collectors edition.

I bet Scarboro would be proud to see us all foaming at the mouth over prey's portals all these years past the original start of the game. :D

[crazypatrick]

I'm from the Netherlands and I really want that LCE. I also have the LCE of Age of Empires 3, with a great artwork-book. I also want that for Prey. The figurines are great too and I want all of the 3 figurines.

I want to buy something, but I can't. :(

[Frogacuda]

Very classy move.

[Micki!]

Looks great... :) :cool:

[Gryph]

I smiled when I saw the dedication to William Scarboro, it's very cool of you guys to dedicate it to him.

Joe, have you talked to any of the other ex-Prey team members about the demo? It would be cool to get hear what Tom Hall and some of the other guys involved have to say about it. :)

[Halcyon]

Joe, have you talked to any of the other ex-Prey team members about the demo? It would be cool to get hear what Tom Hall and some of the other guys involved have to say about it. :)Indeed, especially regarding this old quote from Tom Hall:
"[...]I just hope someone competent finishes the project. "

The dedication is a great gesture.

[Oats]

Yeah, very cool of you guys. Shows what a great and dedicated Development team they are.

[Gamebrain]

I noticed it too. Very nice of you guys.

[broodling57]

im getting this! :D (mainly for the art book)

[Joe Siegler]

Joe, have you talked to any of the other ex-Prey team members about the demo? It would be cool to get hear what Tom Hall and some of the other guys involved have to say about it. :)

I already have something planned along those lines when the full game is out. :)

[Ranger_]

Does the 360 LCE come with the metal box as well?

[Gryph]

Sweet.

[Damien_Azreal]

Ranger_, yes IIRC it should.

Joe, can't wait for that. I've been wondering what those guys are thinking about PREY right now.

I think thats the closest I will ever get to one :-(

Specs on the art book please? Now Joe described it as a 'booklet' so I'm thinking about 5"x7" and 30 pages? I'd like it to be full sized like the Warcraft III art book I got when WC3 came out.

[Ranger_]

I just had to ask Joe. I was told by someone in a different forum that the 360 LCE will not come with the metal box. Thanks for the clarification Joe.

[Joe Siegler]

I said booklet? Actually I'd like to know too - as I've said before, I've not seen the book myself.

[Phait]

Dropshadow or glow, either but not both! AGHHH.

It's nowhere near the WC3 one, which was a hardcover, 8.5x11 book with a lot of pages.

I think your exepctations are right Jet. I haven't seen one yet (Hmmm...we should have actually), but I reacll it being 30 or so pages and not full sized.

[jet jaguar 2.0]

Thanks.
