Prey Xbox360 hands on preview - PCZone

[dark_angel]

This is the third time we've got hands-on with the game - although the first time it has been shown on Xbox 360 and not PC - and we're surprised how little has changed. Human Head and 3D Realms have always been perfectionists, even if their conception of perfection is alien to the high aesthetics of Michelangelo or Brian Sewell. Since we first saw this game a year ago, tweaks have been made to improve the gameplay and increase its overall length. And to add in some of 3D Realms' trademark toilet 'humour.'

An interesting review.

The sentence "Much of this is delivered with the usual crude humour, which unfortunately breaks the immersion a little, reminding you explicitly that it's a bunch of American programmers making the game." made me raise an eyebrow, though.

Much of this is delivered with the usual crude humour, which unfortunately breaks the immersion a little, reminding you explicitly that it's a bunch of American programmers making the game.

These things are PREY, this is why i like it. It´s so DNF style... What is he complaining about. But the rest of the pre-review was good. Sounding great..

Just as I thought it 2 b.

...a good mindless game replete with technical gimmicks, teasing puzzles and great combat ...

Some people can never be happy !

Are they being positive or negative? I can't tell.

I got the feeling that they liked it, but thought it pretended to be more than it was.

I'm getting a 404 when I click the link.

You're right... it's completely gone (although some other articles on that site still mention this one).

Well, at least we still have

Isn't that more of a personal "the game isn't what I expected"?

[hell-angel]

Yes, I think so as well Avatar_58. But then again, how good a games is is always a personal opinion.

Ooh, a bit of conspiracy.

3DR requested CGV to take down the article due to some small negatives?

[hell-angel]

That is so not true I think.

No way, 3dr just told them that they got some things "wrong", right now they´re about to fix it...together with 3dr
j/k maybe it´s just a normal problem that occured
