Hey I looked for my copy of Prey 2006 and couldn't find it. I'm thinkin' it was that period when xbox 360 came out and the graphics were better than PC for a couple of weeks. AMD added CPU support to the GPU pipeline and yata yata I bought an xbox 360 and played PREY. I don't have a PC version.

Duke is that video PC or xbox 360? I remember something happens to Jen, either they flat out send her to the hereafter, or she fights Tommy and he had to slaughter her. Either way, poor Jen.

Hey One Eye, I imagine everyone at Nightdive is earning they're pay right about now. With little time to take a breather. Duke is the main administrator here and has set up this forum and maintains it. So you see he's the developer of this site. I think I have seen posts from Kaiser, and Edward here, but they are matter of fact and not social network stuff.

So really the answer to your question is, don't hold your breath waiting for them.  :-[

Sorry I couldn't get online today until now for some WolfET action. Had a busy morning and just getting online now. But we'll get there, and I hope we can get some joiners out of this crowd of players here at the forum. Did you fire it up and try the Noobcity server? It has a lot of custom maps on that server. The main maps are sufficient and easy to learn. (offensive team vs. defensive) I'll try and setup a server with bots on 1 team only. I'm in California but I saw a lot of servers online, some in the UK. Turn PB off unless you really think a cheater will ruin your day. Most servers leave it off I think.

That was a great video Duke, I enjoyed watching it. Some of those soldiers you killed sounded like the same from quake 4, the grunting. Raven software put that out, and it was ok at the time but didn't last more than 1 year. Going way back, Raven made a game called "Soldier of Fortune" that had a great single player campaign. It was a big success and then id software had them develop Quake 4 for release. One of the guys I used to play quake 3 with got a job with Raven as a level designer. He came here from the UK somewhere to work on Quake 4. Simon O'Callaghan. I guess he just put out a quake II engine mod or something I heard mentioned somewhere. I'm highjacking the thread.

It's just there's so much history going on here it's awesome to remember some small part of it. The new PREY regardless of the bad naming looks way out there, I mean good. I haven't seen anything like it before. I see elements of Half life and the original PREY that stand out immediately. I guess it's supposed to be out in 2 months. I gotta hit the sack, but I'll be checkin' back here.

poor Jen

is it possible to have a menu as complete as that to host a MP game?

Morning chirac, Not yet! but eventually there will be dedicated server settings. I've seen 1 server that had custom settings and maybe the GoG release of multiplayer will have server setup, maybe I hope. Ah chirac! sv_forcebalanceteams Turok will have CTF someday.

Still, better a flawed remaster than no remaster, eh?
I know, you wish you hadn't said it  :o RoTfLma0

I wouldn't say it's flawed, I'd say it's a huge success. Dinomite would beg to differ with me on that point as well. There would be no forum here, there would be no capitalism, there would be no fragging. There will always be h8ers. I hate a lot of things. I hate terrorism. Nightdive has done a magnificent job and should be commended and I think they will be, financially. Huge success for them, I would think.

Hey they fixed the lag so that is done for all intents and purposes. And we'll see if the community picks it up and makes it better still. It's an imperfect science. There IS a ghost in the machine. We can all go see it represented on screen in 8 days from today



Wooohoooo Scarlett is Bad-A$$
Your cute too Ole One Eye. I'm gonna have to protect you from the 12 year olds when you get to MP.

Right on n1ce screenies Duke, the bottom one is an example of how well the player skins blend in with the background. And the father apart you get, the worse it gets.

Hey I found 2 Turok comic books today, lol - I'll find the right thread and post after I read 'em.

Also, just curious, how popular is the multiplayer turning out to be?  Do you guys think it has staying power?

Hi Old One Eye, Old Dead Gazerbeam here. That eye problem you have is going to make playing Multi-Player tough. There are some skins that you can equip so that you are almost completely hidden. The skin blends in to certain maps and you can't see the attacker at all. If that doesn't change soon T2 Multi-Player will lose a lot of people. The only saving grace is that the player name is hardcoded in above the head in large enuff letters that you know someone is there. That's my biggest "gripe" about MP currently.

It also needs other fixins too I'm afraid. So right out of the box I'm sure a lot of people will pass on multiplayer. But there is a few die hard players from the old PC version of the game that will play this for years to come I'm sure. It's very Quake II type gameplay. It is my opinion that the base code for this game was written by Carmack and licensed to whoever, the same way Valve bought a license from him and created Half-life. Seems like my note is pertaining to history waxing/waning nostalgically about the days before the Supers died.  :P

Based upon that observation, I think it has staying power. Once someone puts together a dedicated server mod. I think that's why it's not on GoG yet. Right now you need Steam to 'authenticate' the server, but all the server commands (from Quake series) are in the console. There will be a server setup mod or support or something soon.

let's kick some 12 year old arse!  gg - Gazer

I think it's funny that people talk about this game like it's a triple A title. Turok 2 is just another re mix of an old title with a small number of people to work on it. It will never have all the conveniences (bells and whistles) of studio built games that are being designed and built today. Nightdive has to sell like 50,000 copies of this game to break even. The fact that it's a showcase for a small studio is the WoW factor here. I hope they do it cause it's a great game.

Thanks Again for the effort, I'm lovin it. Gazer
