Testing - Prey



While not as taxing as some of our DX9 titles, Prey is an important benchmark as it is one of a few OpenGL games out there that can put pressure on a system. It uses a very heavily modified Doom 3 engine with a lot of open spaces and inventive portal-centric level designs, not to mention visceral, moving surfaces and "Spirit Walking" effects.

We've recorded our own timedemo that starts by flying an exo-suit through a huge series of tubes, a handful of portals, an aerial battle and finally some emergency sniping on foot. The settings, aside from anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, are set as high as possible. The current version of the game is 1.3.
