Prey Xbox 360 and PC images

[Dave Baumann]

I do not know specifically about Prey, but the Quake IV devs said there would be no cutbacks/detail reduction in Q4 for the 360. Since Prey uses the same engine and is targetting the PC in a similar time frame I think it is safe to assume that the PC/360 versions should be very similar.

Which is not a surprise considering Xenos is more powerful than current desktop GPUs and 512MB of memory in a dedicated box allows for a lot of flexibility (streaming + take advantage of stuff like 3Dc for normal maps, which Prey uses a lot of).

so finally PCs will get 'watered' down versions of consoles atleast till 2007

I'm not sure I fathom how you figure that; "No cutbacks" (from a PC version) = the PC version...

what the hell with the guy at the back?

You can walk on walls paths in the game.

The "white sided" paths are effectivel gravity paths, so in that particular image the guy at the back is the one on the "floor" whilst you are upsidedown.

I would hope the 360 version would look better than this. The lighting isn't organic enough IMO. And I'd expect more geometry. It's only a few screens, but PC games still very much look the part. I expect 360 games will look much better for some time. PEACE.

I think that's more of a function of the engine its running on.

looks like Doom 3. then again every game that uses that engine looks like Doom 3 :?

So thats kinda new in a Doom3 engine powered game isnt it? Daylight And what do ya know, it looks good.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars looks better, IMO. And doesn't look too much like Doom 3, either.

now watch it get postponed another year while they change engines to U3 and port everything over...
