At a pre-E3 event yesterday in San Francisco, Ca., 2K Games officially clarified that Prey, the Xbox 360 and PC first-person shooter in development by Humanhead, has moved to a July release date.

Damien_Azreal · 04-25-2006, 05:50 PM

Ahem...

Thank you.

George Broussard · 04-25-2006, 06:15 PM

Hard to move it, when it never had a date to begin with.

Damien_Azreal · 04-25-2006, 06:19 PM

I'm just excited that it's narrowed down some at least.

In other words 2K Games needs to STFU ?

Damien_Azreal · 04-25-2006, 06:55 PM

Not really, PREY was When it's Done on a release date thing. So there was no previous date, so it couldn't be moved to July.

Any date stated before was rumor.

Otto von Keisinger · 04-25-2006, 07:57 PM

<== I think that about sums it up.

Vivi · 04-25-2006, 08:41 PM

every movie, game, etc is a WID type of thing. some companies like to have a release date set in mind, but nothing is ever in stone. there's always last minute problems/situations.

T-6000 · 04-25-2006, 09:31 PM

I'm willing to wait all the way until August for Prey to be released, if needed be. But I do hope that it is released by June 10th, since June 14th is my birthday.

Well, they are part of take 2 and we all know what they have to do.

avatar_58 · 04-26-2006, 01:34 AM

I only hope its actually stocked near me....

Singularity · 04-26-2006, 02:23 AM

This is great news!

Halcyon · 04-26-2006, 02:35 AM

Nice to know. I've been waiting for an exciting sci-fi shooter way too long now.

July is marked.

From the article:

Quote:

The electrifying first-person shooter that enables wild biomechanical weapons, wall and ceiling walking, and dynamic porting transporting..

^ Lolwtf?!

Quote:

...looks like one of the best first-person shooters of the year in both graphics and gameplay, and should ignite some serious multiplayer action during the normally slow summer months.

^ Very complimentary.

SyntaxN · 04-26-2006, 03:54 AM

Finally, after all those years there is something different than WID

Well, it's moved from WID to July.

But is this an official date then?

hanged_man · 04-26-2006, 05:09 AM

This guy gets to play "Prey" and most likely daily builds of Duke Nukem Forever. Time to apply for Joe's job peeps.

BTW: I got the recent PC Gamer issue with Command and Conquer 3 in the mail. In their release forecast, they mentioned Prey as a quarter 2 release(July on) so looks like they were pretty accurate(though I don't generally trust many of these type forecasts because things change all the time).

Kinda thought we might get "Prey" sometime in June but realized they have a ton of marketing and such to do leading up to the release......

Damien_Azreal · 04-26-2006, 09:39 AM

July sounds good to me.

Think of it, SiN:E in May (May 9), HL2:E1 in June (May 31) and PREY in July... sounds like a great line up to me.

Micki! · 04-26-2006, 10:20 AM

Yay...

I'm looking forward to it...

Hopefully i'll have my PC's graphic card switched by then, with those awfully annoying errors...

Cerberus_e · 04-26-2006, 10:26 AM

July is PERFECT. That's the first month of my three months holidays

One month too early and it would be in the middle of exams

Babe · 04-26-2006, 10:57 AM

I was reading somewhere yesterday that July 11th was the scheduled release day for Prey. Dont remember where I saw it though.

ADM · 04-26-2006, 11:01 AM

According to Amazon it's July 10th. But we all know how they are prone to giving false info about this.

All I can say is be patient and it's only less then 3 months away.

I don't have to tell you that while there was never a specific date, there was a estimated June release on record.

Not that any of that matters. WID.

Damien_Azreal · 04-26-2006, 11:44 AM

That June release month was a guess by an interviewer. Human Head was asked if it would be out in June and they didn't answer, that was only a rumor.
It was always WID til now.

A guess? So the interviewer from Attack of the Show, with Rhinehart standing right there, just decided that he'd estimate the release date for "Oh, let's say June"? Even more, it looked like he was reading the prompter when he said it. It's not like Rhinehart estimating a June release breaks the sacred canon that is the WID policy, and it actually turned out to be pretty close. Bah, whatever.

July is the start of the 3rd quarter, we're in the 2nd quarter now.

Whoops.

Thanks for the correction.

T-6000 · 04-26-2006, 01:48 PM

I think we'll get a *real* release date when there's a "Gone Gold" announcement for Prey.

Tim Gerritsen · 04-26-2006, 01:50 PM

Technically, we STILL don't have a release date. It's still "When it's done." Until 3DR or Human Head give a firm date, don't believe any release date you read. It's all speculation.

Little Conqueror · 04-26-2006, 02:01 PM

Well, I'm excited. I'll be busy most of July, so I'd better pre-order it the second it's available if I wanna get a copy.

Snafu · 04-26-2006, 02:10 PM

Whatever happens, don't pull a Ubisoft and release a demo a week before the full game ships, give yourself some space for feedback. Make sure the demo is multiplayer too, Ubisoft just made that mistake with the new Ghost Recon and fans are freaking out.

Joe Siegler · 04-26-2006, 02:28 PM

Fans freak out when the company doesn't do what the fans think the company should be doing. Fans freak out even when the company DOES.

I've learned that lesson hard after working here for 13+ years.

But fear not. All will be well. You'll enjoy it.
