Prey PC Demo Now Available

3D Realms has released the highly-anticipated demo for the PC version of Prey; Xbox 360 version still in limbo

3D Realms released their long-awaited PC demo for their upcoming PC first-person shooter, Prey. The game, formerly in development limbo for close to a decade, will be built on a modified version of id Software's Doom 3 Engine and will be shipped on July 10.

In related news, the Xbox 360 version of the demo which was scheduled to launch on the Xbox Live Marketplace last night has been pushed back to a later time. 3DRealms president George Broussard had this to say on 3DRealm's website:

"I'm still waiting for specifcs (sic), but I'm being told that it's still in testing at Microsoft. From what I understand this isn't Microsoft's fault, and is more likely just an issue of timing.

"I'm hesitant to give any estimates for a release, but I've been told it should be reasonably soon after the PC release, but could be as long as a few days."

More news on this as it develops.
