Hrm, just finished it in about 8 hours of playing...

wasn't really that impressed to be honest... i mean, it had some cool features and gameplay etc... the graphics were a fairly big let-down though, and it was VERY system-hungry.... (for little returns)

anyone else played it?

what'd u think?

Edit: if you get the bonus edition, watch the little clips that are also on the CD... one of them is pretty freaky (shows the shrinks interviewing Alma) and the other one had me in stitches for about 20 minutes! LOL

yeah.. i finished it a couple of months ago.. Big big gameplay hole in the middle, and then the last 30 mins was pretty good. So it wasn't terrible, but quite overrated.

I think a lot of the reviews of it, didn't really sit down and play the whole game. It was one of those games where it looked really impressive for the first hour or so, and then it was just more of the same for hours and hours after that.

Prey is the shit.. play that. FEAR was ok I thought, but when I've started playing Prey, it destroys FEAR in every way for a scary action game.

I have had this game for a fair while now but only just finished it the other day after a long break from it. I think it is one of the best FPS i have ever played. The AI is second to none the graphic were great especially at 1920x1200, the story was good and quiet scary in parts. There is no game that comes close to the gameplay of FEAR and i cant praise the AI enough no other FPS is close to the level of FEAR AI, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter on the 360 is the only one they may come near. I cant wait for the next one to come out.

I have only just got Prey and will start playing it soon, the demo was awesome some great new features not seen before but i have heard it is quite a short game.

Hey guys, I picked up this game last week, really loving it so far.

Very impressed with it, the AI is great

Havn't really played an FPS since HL2, its true about it being a system hog, i have to run FEAR with low texture details, my old geforce 4 cant handle it.

How did you guys get PREY, I didnt see see it on the shelves last week?

Exactly the reason I uninstalled it after playing it for 30 mins twice. Sh#thouse.

HL2 is the best graphic engine so far, amazing HD resolutions of 1920 * 1200, & silky smooth FPS.

Doom 3 engine is the next best, nice high res's of 1600 * 1200, & awesome graphics lighting.

When I get the time i'll be giving Prey a crack (based on the doom 3 engine). Look out for Portal too :( anything based on the HL2 engine is a must go.

FEAR is still one of the best FPS i have every played, yes the HL2 engine is better but a game is not all about looks, the AI is better than anything else released and i think will be the best for a long time coming, and the story line was great.

Portal looks like it will be extremely fun i saw a trailer for it the other day.

I have played Prey for an hour or so and it gets quiet boring its to repetitive and just uninteresting, i will probably finish it just to say that i have but i wont be replaying it.

I actually thought FEAR was incredibly repeditive...

same bad guy for pretty mcuh the *entire* game.. and the same stuff for hour after hour. I kept persisting until the end, but I didn't really want to - just because I had bought it I guess.

oh yeah.. sequel? http://www.slicedgaming.com/news9382.html

Isnt that recommended for any game u play? :)

Im not a LAN party 1337h4x0r gamer like some people I know. I have other things to do :)

Just installed SWAT4 today, awesome game as well, graphics could be better.

I still think HL2 botched every aspect of graphics except the people faces. The jackets, the walls, the floor, the benches, the computers....they are all craptacular in the graphics department :D

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
