Trivialidades:

As of 2005, the game has been in development for nearly an entire decade. 3D Realms originally announced Prey in 1995, but after several years of development it was put on hold in 1999. Technical difficulties were cited, and one of the game programmers commented that the game's most highly touted feature, "portal tech" was just too ambitious for its time. Portal tech was a feature that could dynamically create rips in space allowing portals to be generated on-the-fly. In 2001, 3D Realms quietly restarted development of Prey, this time outsourcing it to a development group called Human Head Studios, and using the new Doom 3 graphics engine that was created by 'id Software'. However, 3D Realms did not officially confirm the reemergence of Prey until early 2005.

Citas:

The Keeper: You will become like us. You will become... a God!
Tommy Hawk: I came here only to kill you!

Could have been way better

If only the developers concentrated more on the characters and story, making some innovative levels and lots of enemies, instead of rushing this game out, Prey could have been one of the better 3D-shooters of all time. Unfortunately Prey does not have the scares of Doom-3 nor even the frantic action of Quake-4 and I sadly say that it less memorable than both of those games. Prey does throw out some gameplay innovations at you such as gravity manipulation and spirit walking which allows for some interesting puzzles but all that really fizzles out at the end. Prey also feels too much like Doom-3 and is almost as dark on many occasions. There are very few weapons and enemies too which shows that this game had been rushed. The screenplay for the story which is rarely significant, was very good, showing some great potential which was never exploited.
