As promised, the demo for Prey is now available, offering a sample of Human
Head's imminent first-person shooter. Word is: "Defy the law of nature with
gravity flipping, a feature that allows you to walk on ceilings and turns
deathmatch mode upside-down. Explore unreachable areas with wall walking, and
transport from one sphere to another through space-bending portals. With all
these unique gameplay elements, you don't want to miss this highly anticipated
FPS demo!" The demo premiered on
GameSpot
(registration required), and is mirrored on
3D Gamers,
Computer Games,
Filecloud,
FileNuts,
FileShack,
Fragland.net,
Gameguru Mania,
Gamer's Hell,

Do your feelings go towards all speech by the main character though, or just the one liners that get strewn about? To be honest I think it depends on the character. In games such as Duke or Prey or Serious Sam where the character is a big part of the story, the odd wisecrack (as long as it's not too frequent or too samey) adds to the game. Hearing the voice of the character when answering questions is essential. But while I take your point about Gordon in HL2, I actually like the way that he doesn't speak. It makes Gordon in some way less removed from the player and (for me) it works better. I admit it's strange, it's linear, it's restrictive of choice, it might even be old-fashioned. But for that game I think it's all the better for it. That kind of "accidental hero" thing they have going on in HL2 works even better when the central character is weakly defined.
I understand Riley and Creston and those that push for choices in dialogue and choices in how the game pans out, and in games where gamers make the story (GTA, Deus Ex, etc.) then it's great. But in my view HL2 isn't one of those games, and if you play it wanting to make RPG-style choices you're going to be disappointed. Maybe it detracts from the feeling that you are running the show. But in my humble opinion I don't think that's the point of HL2. The whole point is that you are not running the show - you're fitting into a larger battle.
