Early Prey Demo

Someone posted a 1998 video of Prey being demonstrated at E3. I guess 3D Realms did come up with the idea of Portals after all! Too bad this version of the game never was released as it featured some darn good looking graphics for it's day. It ran ultra fast on a 266 MHz Pentium and Voodoo 2 video card.

The guy giving the demo was Paul Schuytema, who was the project lead for Prey before he got fired/quit.

********************
I just noticed this earlier video from 1997 that also gives a demo of Prey. The graphics look blocky and the frame rate slow despite Paul saying it's over 40 fps. What a difference a year makes in development. He also talks about their next project, Duke Nukem Forever!

Nice links. You have a good memory about what was visually impressive at a given time in gaming. I was surprised to hear such low specs being mentioned as state-of-the-art then.
