3.5mb thats not to shabby from ff

Gonna grab it overnight. Thank god it's not a huge download (I've seen demos get up to the gigs, and that's just unnecessary).

Huh? 350kb != 3.5mb

On topic, I'll probably get the Prey demo within the next couple of days, but I need to clean up my hard drive. No space left

got 88% so far, dling from FileFront, 7 minutes left. YEAH!

I just finished playing the singleplayer version of the demo.

First of all, hot damn, thats exactly what a demo should be. There is a lot of playtime packed into that download, so I definitely recommend anyone who is considering this game to give it a try.

Next, while I had some misgivings about the presentation in the beginning, I really enjoyed the demo. Tommy is a great main character, despite the fact that "I don't want to live on the Reservation" seems to be half of his depth. A lot of his comments and responses to things in the game felt really natural, which is often hard for most game actors to pull off.

The portals and grav paths really make things crazy, to the point where I can't wait to see what all they throw at you with them in the final game. I do hope, however, that things wont remain so ridiculously linear throughout. Maybe this is just the extreme close quarters of the early section of the game, but I felt led along a path a little more than I should have. I would also like to see more character building stuff happening at the beginning before the abduction, but man, once you get pulled into the ship, things really take off.

Did anyone else like the part where you find out what is happening to some of the people? That creeped the hell out of me...

But anyway, yes, a fantastic demo. I haven't played multiplayer yet, but I'm definitely going to buy the final version when it comes out.

whats the MSP (requirements??)

The demo was cool and the gun concepts were great but what they actually did just felt like an mp5, a laser rifle / freeze gun, and a grenade. However the 'fighting for your life' thing and the whole which side is up / portal stuff was pretty sweet. I also like the amount of interactive objects at the beginning.. I owned at Rune Man!

Same as Doom III, more or less.

I was really impressed with this demo I will have to buy this game when it comes out

feckin mint, runs really nicely too, think it might actually have been worth the wait!!

Yeah, finally a proper REAL game is released this year!

Other than Oblivion.

Anyway, I thought the demo is really good. Excellent innovative use of gameplay. Fortunately my computer is good enough to handle it at a decent framerate.

I got a fantastic framerate with all the settings pushed up, and it all looked really nice. Anyway, that aside, the game wasn't too bad at all. I was actually sympathetic with the main chatacter's cause. While I didn't see a whole load of depth to him, his one-liners were funny and I suppose the flexible character was meant so that the player could insert themselves into the character a little bit (no, not like that...).

The levels didn't seem linear at all, which is largely thanks to the portals and gravity and all that jazz. While they were actually fairly linear, they gave an excellent illusion of freedom, something which I dig. One thing I loved was the Spirit Walk, something which could have been implemented better, but kicked arse anyway. I thought that it lead to some awesome puzzles, but it would have been really nice to see the ability to bypass some puzzles, solve them without using the Spirit Walk and little things to make the game more free. That concept has huge potential, as does the thing that happens when you die, I loved that.

Anyway, overall, I'd say it's an awesome demo, and looks to be a kick-ass game, one which I am going to get on release, methinks.

Can't stand this game one bit. Looks very polished (most of the time). Affects look good, voice acting is fine.

Problem is that I got motion sickness as soon as I was beamed up to the alien ship. I stuck with it till after I got the first gun and went through a couple portals, but at that point I was ready to throw up.

Felt bad the rest of the afternoon. I won't be buying this one.

How....reasoned

Nah, makes sense. Gave me a weird feeling of vertigo

Singleplayer was amazing nonetheless. I'll buy it when the price goes down since I'm so dirt poor right now.

I loved the disorientating stuff - but then I'm a Killer Loop addict, and thus can stomach that sort of thing (I even play it at 200% speed )

A lot of trippy and cool stuff. . . and people dying. heh.

Edited by: darkomen3148

Yeah..about that chain stopping right after your grandpa's death. Why doesn't the girl die right after when you start it up again?

Because they probably have plans for her instead of letting her die? That sounds pretty plausible.

I finished play the demo a few hours ago, and it was great. I admit, there was some stuff that caused me to become dizzy, but overall, they really hit home in the presentation; especially the beginning. I also thought the giant bit was a nice touch.

Can't wait to see more. I'll have to get it, too.

Installing now i wonder what its like

A simply awesome demo.

Check out the multiplayer too, it's really fun and you can use all of the weapons.

best damn demo I've ever played, except for Doom Shareware & HL Uplink. But, this looks to be my new #1 game of all time if the rest of the game hold out after the demo. It's got everything!
