Prey : de nouvelles prey-cisions

Take Two, par le biais de sa filiale 2K Games vient d'annoncer officiellement l'existence de Prey. Développé par Human Head Studio (Blair Witch Projet 2, Rune, Dead Man's Hand) et produit par 3D Realms, il utilisera donc bien le moteur de Doom³ mais notablement amélioré.

Le jeu sera bien présent à l'E3 mais sur le stand ATI, à titre de démonstration. Il sera développé pour PC ainsi que pour une console Next-Generation sans plus de "prey-cisions". La date de sortie est quant à elle prévue pour 2006 et non pour cette année. Enfin, avec 3D Realms, il ne fallait pas rêver non plus.



2K Games And 3D Realms Announce Prey

Innovative First Person Shooter in Development at Human Head Studios

New York, NY - April 26, 2005 - 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and 3D Realms today announced Prey, a revolutionary first person shooter for PC and a next-generation console system in development at Human Head Studios, under the direct supervision of 3D Realms.

"The initial concept for Prey had been incubating for a while, waiting for the right opportunity to come along," said George Broussard, President of 3D Realms. "We jumped at the chance to create this game with a talented developer like Human Head Studios and next-generation technology like the Doom 3 engine."

Scott Miller, CEO of 3D Realms, added, "Prey is special for many reasons, including several new and original gameplay features and a tightly integrated story that packs an emotional punch, unlike other first person shooters."

"Our collaboration with 3D Realms has been enormously rewarding," added Timothy Gerritsen, CEO of Human Head Studios. "With their help, Prey is sure to breathe new life into the first person shooter genre with a compelling story, innovative gameplay mechanics and dazzling imagery, which is powered by our significantly enhanced version of id Software's original Doom 3 engine."

Prey will be exclusively showcased at this year's E3 Expo by ATI in a movie theater-style exhibition.
