Yeah I just checked it again. It's up to 72% and it hasn't canceled.

I thought they eliminated that with the Spring Update. Im at 43% and i started it about 10 minutes ago.

I feel sorry for all of the XBox guys who had to wait like 7 extra days.

*Continues to play MultiPrey levels*

Oh and is it possible to play Multiprey crossing ports (like PC to 360) or is that out of the picture?

Lagrules · 06-30-2006, 01:45 PM

Woot!

I hate those bastards.

They got it out didn't they, you should be thankful. You have a Xbox 360 in your household, and you probaly spend alot of time playing on it (thinking to youself this is the best system ever). You know who work hard on developing that system for years, right? Its Microsoft of course, they started the whole downloadable content with consoles, so your able to get and play demo's alot faster. They didn't even have to release the demo, its there decision. Luckly they were nice enough to put the Prey demo on the Marketplace on a Friday because they care enough about their customers. So if anything your the bastard for not thinking it over. Really though your not a bastard but a gamer just like me. Now go play some Prey, and enjoy.

Joe Siegler · 06-30-2006, 01:47 PM

Downloading on the 360 in our theatre room here at 3DR HQ.

Yes, I'm too fat, no need to point that out.

Fyrus Dakren · 06-30-2006, 01:47 PM

100%!!!

Bye the way anyone that is dissapointed with the DEMO just remember, we don't care. Or at least I don't care about people who whine about getting something and then hate it when they get it.

that's the biggest rated M sign I ever seen oh and the menu!

I posted earlier that I had 100% completely downloaded the whole Prey demo.

Ghostspectrum · 06-30-2006, 01:47 PM

Kornbred. Are you sure thats your Gamertag? It says that gamertag, TheRougeSmurf doesnt exist. Did you spell it right?

Merzbau · 06-30-2006, 01:47 PM

Hell Yes!!!

Gutter I want you to do me a favor.

Just sit back for a second. The screen you are reading this on, what Operating system you are used, the software behind a computer.

Thats Microsoft.

Now if you think they are bastards, why oh why are you using their "shitteh software" ?

Because know one kicks as much arse as they do to bring you computer software. MAC is the closest thing out there, and its not for gamers, really.

(On Topic) : I still haven't seen a 360 in action myself. You guys almost sound like you are describing STEAM or something, preloading and all that jazz. lol =\

Anyone get it going yet?

TantricNferno · 06-30-2006, 01:51 PM

HOW IN THE HELL!?!?!?

That's a lovely screen you got there!

How come the size is like 3 time bigger than PC Prey ? It's as much as SoF 2 Full.

silentECHO 1189 · 06-30-2006, 01:58 PM

Been about ten min and 50% downloaded. Im excited!!!

gutterhead · 06-30-2006, 02:00 PM

You guys are whooped. The fact that they released the demo is wonderful, but remember, they COULD have let it ride and posted it on XBL next week. The fact that they did it today is NO EXCUSE.

Now, I am going to go play PREY.

TantricNferno · 06-30-2006, 02:00 PM

lol sorry for double post ghost

06-30-2006, 02:00 PM

Ghostspectrum · 06-30-2006, 02:01 PM

Im at 80% YEAHYA!

Joe Siegler · 06-30-2006, 02:01 PM

That's just a generic account - it almost never gets used, so don't get too excited.

Tim Gerritsen · 06-30-2006, 02:03 PM

I just want to thank everyone for putting up with the wait. We're just glad it's over. Now get out there and play!

Thats gotta be an awesome experience. Lol

John · 06-30-2006, 02:07 PM

Hey Joe, is cross platform multiplayer out of the option for PC and XBox 360? Meaning I cant play a guy with a 360 account can I? (It's all in XBox Live's little system, eh?)

TantricNferno · 06-30-2006, 02:07 PM

I think about poppin in my spongebob DVD while waiting for the dl to end. :P Hey george, you watching Spongebob too? lol

Quagmire · 06-30-2006, 02:08 PM

Hoooooooooooooorah!

Quagmire · 06-30-2006, 02:13 PM

You can only play with PC players with the new games coming out that will link Xbox Live with Windows Vista...a new windows that won't be out till next January. I don't think already existing games can be made to play together like that unless it was an original plan at the start of the developement of the game.

Wow...I think I might see the reason for the long wait from MS. They might've been trying to shorten the time it took to download this honking 1.17GB demo!!! I've never seen a download on Marketplace this big, and after the whole GRAW chapter 2 slow down, maybe this was for technical reasons after all!!! (instead of MS sales strategies)

Hotapplepie · 06-30-2006, 02:20 PM

Holy cow! Im gonna start downloading now!!!

Quagmire · 06-30-2006, 02:20 PM

Yeah this is downloading really quick. Maybe this wait had to do with adjusting to the shere size of the demo?

Denz · 06-30-2006, 02:25 PM

But how in the hell it takes the space of a full game?

It takes as much space as Enemy Territory with an huge amount of maps.

Come on someone give us some first impression about the Prey Xboite.

06-30-2006, 02:35 PM

wow its finaly out i think i just wet myself

Supakoopa101 · 06-30-2006, 02:44 PM

Yay I <3 HH, 3DR, Venom, and Microsoft.

John · 06-30-2006, 02:51 PM

Yeah, why is it that the 360 version is 1.7gb and the PC version is around 500mb? Console games take more space up on it's system? (I'm sorry I'm not really educated on the major differences between consoles and PC's. I know the basics and I also know alittle more but thats it

)

Joe addressed this in another thread:

Quote:

While we don't know the formal size of the demo yet, I inquired and was told it was in the neighbhorhood of 650Mb. Yes, that's larger than the PC side. And before people start freaking out, I did inquire as to why it's larger, and got this explanation from Peter over at Venom..

Quote:
To minimise seek time on the DVD, data on the 360 is organised into three PAK files for each level which contain all the models, textures and sound data for that level (those loaded at the start and all those which might be needed during the level, as we also have to pre-cache everything on 360 to avoid stalls caused by mid-level loads).

This means three DVD seeks instead of hundreds when loading a level (seeks are expensive time-wise) and was a necessary change to bring the load time down under 45 seconds- it was around 5 minutes a level from DVD before this was done! However it means textures, sounds and models are stored again in the PAKs for any levels they are needed for.

So basically it comes down to the way the 360 streams stuff for the size difference. 360 Streams from a DVD. The PC streams from a HD. There's a huge speed difference there alone.

Scott Miller · 06-30-2006, 02:55 PM

Curious to hear what people think of the interface, since it's quite different on the 360 version...
