Prey: A Retrospective |
Ó
However, Prey's development grinded to a halt in 1999 when "insurmountable technical problems" appeared, possibly because of the ambitious portal technology the developers were trying to implement. The year 2002 saw the revival of the game by shifting development responsibilites to Human Head Studios. They built a new game from the ground up, this time using Doom 3 technology, but keeping the concepts that fueled the first iteration. This would eventually become the Prey we all know.
And to put things into perspective, here's a video showing the game as of 1998. I know it's hard, but if you try to think about how it looked like in comparison to other games back then, it's pretty darn cool.

amazing :) to bad they did not have back in 1998
that game had awsome graphics compared to back than
Didn't the band KMFDM make a soundtrack for the 1998 Prey?? I hope they use some of their music in this one.
And the gyroscopic portal thing blew me away. That's just too cool.
i still would have preferred to play that 8 years ago than wait 8 years for the version we have now...
It's a real shame that the game didn't come out at the time. Now, that tech is rather old-hat, but if released at the time, it would have been as big as HL2.
for 8 years ago i can see how this game is aweseom, but then they go and release the crap 4 hour long game we have now, what a disappointment
Had only that game come out it could have changed the directions that games were going and maybe the industry wouldnt be stuck in this rut of un-creative/ non innovative gameplay styles.
Holy *****, 1998, conspiracy, ultimate game? So many things...
But seriously, thats awesome I was considering Chrome Hounds but not I'm looking into Prey...
Those are some really nice graphics for a voodo2 card. That engine kicks ass!
nice technology for the time but not that great graphics imho compared to something like Halflife.
