Prey Q&A - First Details on the New Prey

No_Style · May 11, 2005, 06:11 PM

As we head into E3 next week, there's lots of buzz about the games that may be revealed at the gaming industry's biggest trade show. However, one high-profile game we do know will be there is Prey, an upcoming science fiction-themed first-person shooter from 3D Realms (the same studio responsible for Duke Nukem) and publisher 2K Games. Ironically, Prey is a game that made a huge buzz at E3 more than half a decade ago, only to then disappear from the face of the earth. Well, it's back, and 3D Realms has teamed up with Human Head to deliver a resurrected Prey that uses the dazzling Doom 3 graphics engine. In Prey, you are a Native American warrior caught up in some extraordinary extraterrestrial adventures, and if the same concepts from the original design are still in the game, you can expect lots of very cool and interesting moments in Prey. It's been a while since we last saw Prey, though, so we caught up with Scott Miller, CEO of 3D Realms, Chris Rhinehart, Human Head project lead and co-founder, and Timothy Gerritsen, chairman and business director of Human Head, to get early details on the game.

Instead a space marine walking through corridors, you are a native American walking through corridors, cool!

Edit-
2 hours after I posted that I got around to reading the article..

Quote:

Will the game be focused primarily on indoor [COLOR=Red] corridor [/COLOR] crawls, huge outdoor areas, or some combination of the two?

TG and CR: The "sphere" that Tommy finds himself on turns out to be a huge living being the size of the state of Texas. [COLOR=Red]The "corridors[/COLOR] " and "rooms" inside this sphere are part of its living flesh,

These areas range from tightly constricted passages of living, reactive matter to [COLOR=Red]technological corridors [/COLOR] that were once [COLOR=Red]the halls of spacecraft [/COLOR]..........

The last thing we wanted was a straight-up [COLOR=Red]corridor hunt[/COLOR] , so our major design focus went into creating new ways of playing both in combat and noncombat situations. Portals play a huge part in the gameplay

So I guess it is corridors with portals...lol
