Depending on what Vyse is up for, I'll be willing to play whenever. Not my type of game at all (not to say I suck.
) but you gimme the word and I'm there.Any clue what the player cap is for the demo? Or if we can even create a GAF game?
25% to go.

I think it can be officially concluded that the reason the Prey demo was delayed was because MS wanted to capitalize on 2 things:
1. The maintenance they did recently was to improve downloads.
2. To have something new and fresh over the holiday (Prey Demo, Chromoehounds Demo, Wimbledon TS2 demo, and COD2 content)

Finally!
Good job everyone... jinxing the fast download speeds by proclaiming it "fixed".
I'd say the initial fast speeds have more to do with your good timing (people still at work, low XBL congestion, not many people knowing it is available), than any magic
Wait 'til this evening when the rest of us 9 - 5 working folk want to download it

Yeah, I believe we did jump the gun. A lot of my Xbox Live friends are getting slow download speeds. Mine seems to have slowed a bit too, although it is at 73% and i started it about 25 minutes ago. That's fast for me.

I'm at 66% and it's been about a half hour. Although this is, I'm quite sure, the largest thing I've ever DLed off XBLM. So in that respect it is BLAZINOV.

Sweeeet. Was listening to music while on the treadmill when I heard 'bleep' after 'bleep', so I knew something was up :lol Speed seems to be up there, as it's been maybe 10 mins and I'm over 20% complete. Hopefully I'm not hanging around at 99% for hours!
Just played through the entire single player demo and won a quick match of Multiprey.
The content is exactly the same as the PC demo. The graphics are also identical. Framerate is lower but a solid 30fps, and there is no screen tearing like on the PC. 5.1 sound is fantastic, and might be a reason to get the console version over PC if you don't have the setup on your computer.
MultiPrey actually runs smoother in this demo than on the PC.

Precisely why I will be purchasing the X360 version. Plus achievements.
I would like to formally curse my wife, kids, mortgage, car payments, visa, mastercard, and the utility bills for being the only ****ing reasons I am compelled to stay at ****ing work while you ****ing assholes are at home about to play ****ing Prey.
snake, i'll be putting the kids to bed at 8:30 pst....then....its on.

K, beat the SP, lots of stuttering, decent atmosphere, the portal/gravity/size shit is cool. Outside of that it's just another FPS, really.
MP, same deal. Leaping around is cool, but it's little more than that. Fun for those who like this sorta thing.
Anyways, we gonna get a GAF game(s) goin'? Shall I go host? Add SnakeXs if you haven't already and if you want in.
Ignore this if while typing someone else arranged this shit.
Edit: Another HUGE thing... Is anyone noticing, in SP at least, that it's almost like a panoama stretch mode or something? Shit near the sides gets wider... Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think so, and my/most TVs can't do any stretching to native/720p signals. Drove me NUTS in the bar.

Maybe y'all can help:
"HELPS!
I skipped out of the SP demo to play some Multi (WHICH IS BANANAS) but only after the SP had me completely stymied. I made it into those hallways around which all the soldiers are running back and forth on the walls but it seems like the only doors available are "Alien Only". Now I seem to just be going in circles (and not in the cool portal way).
Anyone got a hint?"
(And Snake, couldn't get in that room. Maybe next round?)

K, sorry guys about before. No clue what happened. Right when whoever said it was the worst game ever it froze. I think the game was insulted. =\
Hopefully a bit later we can get a game goin'.
Good game BirdieInsomnia. =P Hopefully you can get the router workin' better and you join us later.

Yeah, I found an excellent walkthough on Port Forwarding for my specific router and it all seems to at least hold together (as in, I was able to get back on Live afterwards). We'll put it to the test later on.
No kidding. I come home to all this "fast download talk" and I'm at 9% after about forty-five minutes.Jim said:Good job everyone... jinxing the fast download speeds by proclaiming it "fixed".

PLEASE HELP ME.
How do you get out of those hallways the soldiers are all walking past? This is before you get a gun, before pretty much everything. It's after the first portal you experience. Basically a walkthrough for the ten minutes or so around this would be great. The only doors I can find are "Alien Only"
SOMEONE HELP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM ASKING PEOPLE.

If its where I think it is, there is another one of those little archway portals that you have to walk around and crouch to get through.
Edit: Its in the room with the purple healing things.
Ironically, when I got home and downloaded, it took literally 15 mins, max... hah!
Thank you Optimum Online 15/2 service
Too bad the game doesn't quite seem worth it... playing around in the bar was more fun than the rest of the demo. The music in the jukebox rocks! It's like Doom 3, with bad art, terrible acting and a Native American theme. The spiritwalking is the most unique feature, along with the whole topsy turvy room rotating stuff.
At first, the movement/non-perfect framerate of the game (before even all the wall walking & rotation stuff) had me a bit feeling a bit quezy. I worked through it though.
Multiplayer was somewhat stuttery overall, but had a few good games going.

Right. I got to that one and it just led me to the same hallway I was in before. I'll try it again.

so far its pretty good. Long as **** though i wish they would have put in some save points, even if its a demo. I had to leave my system on while i stopped to eat dinner. I'm liking it, but some of the final impressions/reviews will be the final judge as to whether or not i drop $60 on this.
