Prey Museum
#1 Posted 12 January 2018 - 04:17 PM
This site is dedicated to the preservation of all material that 3DRealms, Human Head or individual developers have ever released during the development of the game that came out in 2006, as well as the presentation of what is known about its development. Although the timeline mentions Prey 2 and the 2017 Prey game, they are not the main focus of the site.
The remaining sections of the site will be uploaded

You seriously underestimate me. I've had the three 1997 videos since 1997, and the two 1998 videos since 1998.

Haha, I'm a pack rat too when it comes to stuff like this but I don't have videos that old. I think the oldest promo stuff I have overall is the first trailer for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
Edit: Oh scratch that, just found the 1998 DNF trailer on my HDD in glorious mpg.

Next I'm gonna put online the Audio section, then the Files section. The Text Docs section will require more than one update because I really have a lot of them.

Having the videos available for download is good but maybe a video streaming site like Youtube would make a nice additional option.

The thing is that these old videos are so compressed and low res that uploading them to Youtube would only ruin them.

"More Prey screenshots are released in the Duke Nukem 3D CD."

What link?
BTW, I updated the video section (http://duke4ever.alt...rey/videos.html ), and now most videos also have a link to view them on Youtube. Some don't have it because Youtube identified them as copyrighted content.
EDIT: if you're talking about the link to the video section, you're not supposed to copy it from the body of the message and paste it into the address bar. You're supposed to click on it directly: even though the text that can be seen in the body of the message has been shortened, the URL itself is correct.

The Human Head talks about Prey in 2005 video is the perfect showcase of the game's features from the gravity mechanics to the outdoor areas with the backdrop of Earth in the distance. It's pretty cool for me as someone who played this only recently to hear what the developers had to say about it because it otherwise seemed like it was largely forgotten to time.

Technically I can upload them, but I still get the "copyrighted content" notice. For Youtube, it doesn't matter whether other people can search for a video or not, only whether it is present in its servers.
Anyway, with the Waybackmachine I've been able to discover some more events in the development of Prey, as well as the Quake 1 map sent by Martin Goedke to 3DRealms, which led them to hire him as a level designer for Prey and which I will upload together with the Files section. I've also found more screenshots and concept art I completely forgot about until now.

I have purposely avoided to upload any file from the Prey soundtrack, because it's still for sale.
Next will be the Files section.

There's a lot in it, including two files I originally believed to be lost (two Quake maps that got John Anderson and Martin Goedtke positions in the Prey team in the 1990s, released by 3DRealms) and one that 3DRealms actually wanted to be lost (a version of the Prey SDK that includes collision code).

Any progress on providing evidence for this assertion?

Unfortunately not, and I don't remember where I had read it originally. I googled for articles detailing Human Head's struggles in developing Prey 2, but I didn't find the reference I was looking for, so I temporarily took off the statement. After I find a citation, I will put it back.

Our very own Mr. Tibbs "tracked it down" and released it. See https://forums.duke4...post__p__254026
It originally included .doc files in an old format which modern versions of Word cannot read anymore, so I converted those files to HTML with an online converter.
That's also where most of the pre-2005 concept art comes from.

I gathered things from many sites, including Lon Matero's site, the very old prey.net and preyground.com (back when they were online, because Waybackmachine did not save most of the images), snapshots from the 3DRealms site (not 3drealms.com but apogee1.com, which included more Prey stuff), snapshots from the PCGamer site, Gamespot, the site of an old German magazine...
I'm still mad at myself for not saving the 360 degrees screenshots from the 3DRealms site in 1998, because "DNF is about to come out, so I'll care about Prey after that". Oh man.
