The Prey Demo is going to be released tomorrow (Wednesday) and I believe there will be 2 mulitplayer maps included. Certis said he had fun playing this at E3, anyone up for Wednesday night Prey? I'm open to other dates, as this will probably be a 1-night-only kinda thing...

EDIT: Rumor is that the 360 demo will be available by Monday. Should it be available by say, 9pm, I'll be on doing multiplayer if anyone wants to try it out.

We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Another dream crushed!

Wednesday would have been bad anyway, since that is Halo night. I could be tempted to show up on Thursday night. I know that is BF2 night, though, so perhaps sometime over the weekend, or next Monday would be better? That would give everyone a chance to download the demo anyway, right?

Monday, might be a bad idea as well... since DLC for GRAW might hit the net. How about Friday?

End of the work week, some beer, massive murder in Prey... How about it?

I generally hang out with Luna (and sometimes friends) on Friday nights sans video games, so that probably work for me.

It seems to me there isn't that much competition between 360 players and BF2 fanatics. I've played BF2, Zombie Skate, DDO and WoW with Goodjers and it seems like each group is made up almost entirely of different people. I realize that there is probably more overlap there than I see (BF2ers also play GRAW, and I don't), but in general I think it's probably okay to call a Prey night on a Thursday.

Gamespot says they'll have their demo downloadable at 9pm PST. Assuming they're able to maintain resonable bandwidth, I'll be checking it out tonight, at least on the PC. I wonder if Live will make me wait until midnight PST for the 360 version. Hmmm.

Is this demo gonna hit Live around the same time? I only heard about the PC Demo...if it's coming to Live, and has MP...I'm all over it.

I actually havent followed this game, even a little, but I just watched one of the trailers and it looks pretty slick

Awesome...can't wait to check it out before I consider buying it. How can you not love the demo system over XBLive??!??!?!?! I'm on the fence with this one...sometimes I see a video I think looks amazing, and sometimes I see a trailer that makes me go meh.

We must have a play session with this immediately, assuming the demo supports it.

Yea, I had the slipping problem too, and I just find I enjoy the thwack better anyway, so it all works out well in the end.

I dislike the Gamespot "exclusive" demos. As a non-paying member, even if I can get on their "free" server I can't get a download speed worth bothering with.

Bah I say, bah!

I can't even find a link on their page. Looks like you actually need to pay. Downloading now from other sources.

*sigh* Why can't more people use bit torrent?

16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratio support is there but no widescreen resolutions. WTF?

Seconded, why let me choose 16:10 if I can't pick 1680 X 1050 for a res? I tried the config file but no dice.

Have you found a way to turn on PunkBuster? Also has there been anything said about MP modes other than DM and Team DM? Those got really old a long time ago.

This is why I cancelled my Complete (I'm sorry, "Total Access") membership. WHILE paying for Complete, I had to go to Fileplanet to get decent speeds. I like Gamespot a lot, but their pay plan really doesn't do much of anything. Aside from some ads, I really don't think I'll miss my subscription, once it's run out.

As for the demo, the single player portion was really really good. Totally sold on this one. Don't want to ruin anything, but this game definitely messes with your head.

My days of not taking you seriously have certainly come to a middle.

Oh for those trying to get widescreen:

seta r_customHeight "1050"
seta r_customWidth "1680"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_aspectRatio "2"

I am REALLY impressed with the single player, it's like Quake 4 with actual originality.

Suddenly this is a must-buy.

I'll be buying on release day. I can't wait to see if it maintains the wow factor for the whole game. 'Cause there is plenty of wow there. Wow.
