Prey

Kickassguy · 08-12-2000, 08:03 PM

OK, we all know the game is "on hold" until the completion of DNF.

What I can't gather from that, and what my question is, is:

Is Prey really simply put on hold, so work on it will begin after DNF's release, or has it been completely scrapped, so that only the engine will be worked on, if anything?

Draco · 08-12-2000, 09:00 PM

Well, IMO, I get this feeling that Prey is dead, they just haven't offically announced it yet. I mean, let's say Duke4 is a great seller. Start doing a Duke 5 asap. But if Duke4 fails to grab a market, Prey might be needed. I dunno. I dont make the policy at 3drealms.

Things are coming along a lot further since they put Prey on hold, maybe a while after DNF they could go back and try to see if some of the things that they wanted to do might be possible now.

BTW anyone know where I could find pictures or video of Prey? If any exists, Ive read about it but didn't ever get to see anyhting on it.

All of the wondrous advancements Prey was supposed to introduce have already been done by other games now. There's no point. I bet 3DR just licenses an existing engine again.

Ahem, BS.
First, DNF won't fail. To create the ultimate Flop with DNF they have to release the worst shitties crap ever known to mankind. It must be as bad as Mortyr. But i think we all know the 3dR is going to release a good game. The minimum is standard quality although i believe we gonna get way more. Now we have a nice but not spectacular game. But never forget the hype/product name factor. It's Duke damnit. Even if the game isn't that good the name will sell it. Look at Q3A.
Second, i doubt they would make Duke5 directly after DNF. You know, some companies change their style of games from time to time. Sure, they could make a lot of money with it, just look at Tomb Raider, but i doubt they would do that. I think they would sell some Duke licenses first.

The only in-house 3D games from Apogee/3DR are ROTT, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior and all of these use outside engines.

This made Prey the first, making it a pretty special and important game (in my eyes).

I don't think this would be the reason to cancel Prey. Sure, the started engine development a few years ago but nobody really know how up-to-date the engine is now or how much it can be improved.

DNF can flop, even John Romero's name couldn't sell Daikatana.

God knows what will happen to Prey, but I don't think they'll jump right to Duke5 next. After all, they didn't jump right on DNF. They made Shadow Warrior.

You can not compare DNF with Daikatana. DNF never had serious problems. As far as i know only one team member left the team. DNF seems to be problem-free. Even the long development time can't be called a problem. Sure, we all like to have the game ASAP but that's only OUR problem. DNF can only flop if it's a really really bad game. Something like Mortyr.

I think when DNF, 3Drealms whil continu on Prey(or atleast the engine). By no means do I think the engine is dead. A game's engine can be updated/modefid/reworked to an allmost infenent times(for proof see Unreal/quake games). (And remember Unreal started production in 1994.)Also making an in-house engine 3DRealms can make game doo exectly what they whant!

To kick your ass, or not to kick your ass. That is NOT the question. The question is HOW HARD

X-human · 08-17-2000, 08:53 PM

I wasn't talking game content or development history, all I was comparing was the weight of John Romero's name and Duke Nukem's name in gold. Well, Duke's name has been kinda killed. Although 3DR won't say so, most people agree that the 3rd Person games Time to Kill and Zero Hour aren't up to par with the name behind them. There was a pretty big back lash when 3DR announced a hunting game with Duke, showing what most Duke fans like, and they don't like hunting games.

My question is how big of an ego 3DR is growing. I wouldn't mind if 3DR tossed the Prey project to Tom Hall once he's done with his game. But, alas, they have two diffrent publishers. Making it difficult for that kind of trade.

Dont put all your trust into thinking DNF is gona kick. It might not, and also Q3 was indeed a very great game. It sold, cuz people like to play it, not cuz it has the name Quake 3.

Lastly, I used to be interested in Prey, but not anymore, I moved onto better games like Halo, Unreal 2, Half-Life2, Doom3, etc.

Look the engine is ancient now. I think if they were to do Prey afterall, they would probably have to start the engine all over from scratch.

Again - prove it. If anything, there was kind of little response, because it was never actually "announced" as a formal project. It's still being worked on, but we were serious about saying next to nothing about new games past Duke Nukem Forever. You won't hear more about it until done.

My point is that I fail to see the negative backlash and dislike you talk about here. If anything, the demand for said products prove that more are warranted - and coming (eventually).

Well Joe, I don't read the e-mails 3DR gets. I'm not in a posistion to read the minds of everyone on this planet. Ignoring all the crap Draco posted, I really didn't see ppl jumping up and down about it. Most news sites just posted news about it, and didn't comment. I have no more reason to prove something than you do. You're only human, you can make mistakes just as well.

Something like Mortyr. ------------------ Kinski: It's so unfunny, it's not funny.

Guest Guest	Re: Prey I think when DNF, 3Drealms whil continu on Prey(or atleast the engine). By no means do I think the engine is dead. A game's engine can be updated/modefid/reworked to an allmost infenent times(for proof see Unreal/quake games). (And remember Unreal started production in 1994.)Also making an in-house engine 3DRealms can make game doo exectly what they whant! ------------------ To kick your ass, or not to kick your ass. That is NOT the question. The question is HOW HARD

X-human	Re: Prey I wasn't talking game content or development history, all I was comparing was the weight of John Romero's name and Duke Nukem's name in gold. Well, Duke's name has been kinda killed. Although 3DR won't say so, most people agree that the 3rd Person games Time to Kill and Zero Hour aren't up to par with the name behind them. There was a pretty big back lash when 3DR announced a hunting game with Duke, showing what most Duke fans like, and they don't like hunting games. My question is how big of an ego 3DR is growing. I wouldn't mind if 3DR tossed the Prey project to Tom Hall once he's done with his game. But, alas, they have two diffrent publishers. Making it difficult for that kind of trade. ------------------ X-human.net, GZNews, EdgeGaming.com, 3D Realms Bulletin Board Fan Site Chick of the Week (Anna Kournikova), Dopefish Cult, BJ's Hideout and Black Death "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry.

Lengis	Re: Prey <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Klaus Kinski: Ahem, BS. First, DNF won't fail. To create the ultimate Flop with DNF they have to release the worst shitties crap ever known to mankind. It must be as bad as Mortyr. But i think we all know the 3dR is going to release a good game. The minimum is standard quality although i believe we gonna get way more. Now we have a nice but not spectacular game. But never forget the hype/product name factor. It's Duke damnit. Even if the game isn't that good the name will sell it. Look at Q3A. Second, i doubt they would make Duke5 directly after DNF. You know, some companies change their style of games from time to time. Sure, they could make a lot of money with it, just look at Tomb Raider, but i doubt they would do that. I think they would sell some Duke licenses first. Not every company is id. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Dont put all your trust into thinking DNF is gona kick. It might not, and also Q3 was indeed a very great game. It sold, cuz people like to play it, not cuz it has the name Quake 3. Lastly, I used to be interested in Prey, but not anymore, I moved onto better games like Halo, Unreal 2, Half-Life2, Doom3, etc. ------------------ "I got it!

If anything, there was kind of little response, because it was never actually "announced" as a formal project. It's still being worked on, but we were serious about saying next to nothing about new games past Duke Nukem Forever. You won't hear more about it until done. My point is that I fail to see the negative backlash and dislike you talk about here. If anything, the demand for said products prove that more are warranted - and coming (eventually). ------------------ Joe Siegler - Webmaster, 3D Realms --- Got a Duke Nukem Forever Question?

I'm not in a posistion to read the minds of everyone on this planet. Ignoring all the crap Draco posted, I really didn't see ppl jumping up and down about it.
