http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOC859_TLHA - interesting experiment with gravity. Shows the realism of Prey gravity system.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd7CHdy4O5c - experiment with portals. Tried to repeat some common situations from the game Portal.



Tron@Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2010 2:20 pm :
That first video is mine. :) Part of a series of tests I have been doing of the limitations of the Prey physics engine. May or may not come to a released map depending on if I get time (extremely busy with other things at the moment)

Your portals video is quite interesting, shows how much potential there is in the engine still while also showing off a lot of the limitations. Definitely not as flexible as Portal, however with well planned situations a lot of convincing effects can be pulled off.



NX-317@Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2010 2:32 pm :
So there is a chance that there will be new SP map? Very good news! :D

Thanks for the feedback about the video. I would have used some of these convincing effects in my SF map if I found out about them earlier.

Amazing that this game is installed at all in a computer these days. :D

Someone can gift it to you.



RangerMcFriendly@Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2010 4:49 am :
If they have a copy of it to gift, yes, but who would have a copy just waiting to be gifted? That wasn't the point though. You can't buy it on steam anymore. I'll just have to find a retail copy of it.

You can't, for some reason Valve has had trouble getting more Prey keys and the games purchase page doesn't even exist anymore.



RangerMcFriendly@Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2010 10:11 am :
Tron is right.

3d realms or whoever used a special keygen to generate a certain amount of keys. Apparently they can't make anymore keys without risking a repeat of current keys. They should log all keys created next time.

UK and US eBay have loads of new sealed copies of Prey; it isn't hard to get



The Happy Friar@Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2010 5:15 pm :
you can still find prey in some retail stores too. Look in the under $30/30 racks.

worth it. :)

I didn't want to go off topic, but I can just order a copy off of Amazon.com and get prime shipping for free. Those videos look pretty cool, I like gravity one the best.

Hopefully it will work, unlike the Quake 4 retail I bought :(



aardwolf@Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 3:11 am :
I bought quake 4 retail too, the key worked without trouble.



aardwolf@Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 3:12 am :
didnt know about the situation with prey. Shoulndt really matter since the prey masterservers which check keys went down a long time ago.



Neurological@Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 12:42 pm :
They should put it on Gog, even if is not so old.
