Prey for more content?

Although Prey was a pretty short game, it was enjoyable. Even though I never came across any game-stopping bugs, 3D Realms is planning on releasing a patch in the near future and here’s a look at this 1.1 patch:

• Fixed a crash at startup on some machines.
• Fixed an occasional crash on the dedicated server.
• Fixed a crash when using image_usecache cvar with very big textures. Textures whose lowest mip map doesn’t fit will be default texture.
• This was causing a crash when a modified prey was loading “Mother’s Embrace”.
• Fixed a crash on some machines when reading savegames.
• Some timedemo features not appearing if you restart between record/playback.
• Added widescreen resolutions to menus.
• Updated multiplayer browser to fix servers not showing up due to DNS resolution.
• Updated multiplayer browser not keeping join button up to date when server summary wasn’t the active tab.
• Updated multiplayer browser so punkbuster icons show up in their column properly.
• Updated multiplayer browser so mod games’ icons show up properly.
• Updated multiplayer browser so server scanning is more consistent on slower connections.
• Fixed multiplayer weapon exploit.

Fixes aside, they’re even working on additional (free) content that’ll consist of new maps, and six new characters; Four female characters, Jen, Elhuit, Mother, and Becky (the blond victim you see occasionally on slabs in the single player Prey) and two Hunter characters, Hunter and Elite Hunter.

No date’s been fixed as of now but stay tuned to www.prey.com for more on that.
