it DEFINATELY isn't deserving of a 8.5 out of 10. more like a 7.8. i traded my copy in yesterday. it was quite underwhelming.

The Real Deal7261d ago

You have to play it on a hd television to really appreciate unbelievable detail in the envirements...WOW...on a standard tv...its still good but its just another shooter with some neat twists with the gravity walking. Who buys the game without trying the demo for free? lol...why buy it and return it if you can play the demo. The demo gives you a good idea of what the game is about. lol....All reviews have been giving it a Great score but I agree with IGN saying its a classic and editors choice game. Zypher, did you play the demo? lol....If you liked the demo you should have loved the game. If you didn't like the demo...then you most likely wouldn't enjoy the game...lol...and if you don't have online to get the demo, then You don't get the full benefit of the game. Online frag fest is where its at.

well, thats a shallow view. games are about gameplay, not graphics. if i can't get the same experience out of a game on a standard tv as i would out of a hd-tv, then something is terribly wrong. for all this talk about PS3 vs. 360, what interests me most about the PS3 is its games (as in gameplay); the graphics are just a bonus. yeah, MGS4, Lair, Heavenly Sword etc. all have great graphics, but more importantly they all look FUN. now if a game is released on both systems then obviously i'll go for the one with the better graphics, insofar that it retains the same quality gameplay. if i can't enjoy a game on a standard tv as much as on a hd tv, then it ain'g worth buying. as far as online fragging goes...no offense, but give it a rest. whats this, like the millionth XBox/360 game that caters ONLY to online fragging? GRAW is a GREAT game to play online: but at least it has a solid single-player mode.

at any rate: yes i did play the Prey demo. however, unlike most people, i don't let the demo of a game (which usually isn't as good as the final product) sway me against buying said game. my reasoning for actually purchasing Prey after playing its also lackluster demo was in the hopes that the final game would be improved. it was not. not really a true loss to me. i know have $35 worth of store credit i can use towards something more worthwhile...like say, Rogue Galaxy, or maybe even Chromehounds.

ign.com gave it a 9.0. gamespot.com gave it a 7.5. played the demo for myself a week ago, and i'm leaning more towards gamespot.com's review. maybe not a as low as 7.5, but DEFINATELY not a 9.0. the demo had some cool effects, like the ability to walk on walls through what i'm assuming is some sort of gravitational shifting technology, and the ability to jump to completely different sections of the map through portals. the gameplay however was bland and lackluster. definately not one of the better shooters available. guess i'm gonna have to wait for GOW for my next fill of trigger greatness.

zypher7261d ago (Edited 7261d ago )

oh, so now we have "truth police" roaming the site? where in that statement did you read me saying that i wasn't getting the game? i would photo-copy my receipt and post it, but i'm not willing to go through such extremes, as i'm not in the business of proving myself to ANYONE. if you have formulated your own opinion about the game, whether or not i've actually purchased it (which i DID; $64.82 after tax: bought it at aprox. 6 p.m central and traded it in at the same Gamestop minutes before they closed) is irrelevant.

TOM7261d ago

way way too short,no more than 5 hours and while it looks good the hype about online play is only true if you like the "quake" style of play. Me pearsonaly,I perfer battlefield of ghost recon play vs. this type.And more than 10 dollard an hour for single player(what the developers said was the main focus)is just nuts.

PS3sux360inchWiiWii7261d ago

Im over 7+ hours in and not done yet. Im happy with how it's going. The expierence is unique, nice to play something out of the norm in the FPS arena! I feel my $70 was well spent on this game.

Outside of Nintendo you will need a HD-TV to truely enjoy the quality you deserve out of your Next-Gen system. I went from playing my 360 on a 14 inch flat screen Magnavox... to a 30 inch Samsung Widescreen HD-TV CRT! and the difference is astonishing. Prey looks f**king amazing on my tv. I hated Perfect Dark on my regular tv but I pulled it back out the other night and Im addicted to it, the visuals on my tv (regardless of how you all feel about the game) got me back into it and has me trying to be the game now.

Also I can't wait to get my broadband internet as I will definatley be taking Prey online! Prey was very much a welcome addition to my FPS collection as it easily should be in everyones!!!!

PS3sux360inchWiiWii7261d ago

Im not saying Wii is not Next-Gen just because it don't utilize HD-TV!!!

Im so getting one!!!!!

Arkane Co-Founder Says Dishonored and Prey Fans 'Will Be Happy' With His Next Game

WolfEye Studios president and co-founder of Arkane Studios Raphaël Colantonio has said Dishonored and Prey fans “will be happy” with his new studio's next game.

Marcus Fenix660d ago

Can’t wait to see what they’re working on

Relientk77660d ago

If it's something like Dishonored, then I am totally here for it.

TheNamelessOne659d ago

Let's hope. Their first game, Weird West, really wasn't my thing.

Miacosa659d ago

Ouch, already placing a sales cap on this is potentially bad as these games never seem to sell all too well. Hopefully the budget is in check so no one gets laid off after launch.

Psychonaut85659d ago

Fuck yeah. Even if it’s just a spiritual successor I want more titles like Dishonored in terms of art style, design and gameplay

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack748d ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville747d ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

RaidenBlack746d ago

Dishonored is Lyon's flagship IP ... Austin only assisted in the first one, the sequel was wholly developed at Lyon whilst Austin developed Prey.
If Dishonored 3 was indeed greenlit ... rest assured, it would've been helmed primarily by the Lyon studio.

-Foxtrot748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack747d ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya747d ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

bunt-custardly747d ago

Don't worry there are some other games in development that might fill that void. Look up Vigilancer.

isarai747d ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos747d ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos747d ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

FinalFantasyFanatic747d ago

I really didn't like this game, tried it because of how loved the original Prey was, played the demo of this one and thought it was garbage, it didn't feel nice/fun to play.

LostPotato748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack747d ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer5794747d ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno747d ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville747d ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.
