Prey must Pay to Play

What's the deal hear Gamepro? How much did Prey's marketing team pay you? I'm not kidding, I want to know what is going on here. This game is not outstanding, and mark my words, will do absolutely nothing to enhance games in the coming years. The portals are a gimmick...show/tell me how this is innovative (besides being a neat effect)...how will this enhance gameplay in a positive way? You must be thinking it is cool for enemies to appear out of thin air, or at least accept it as something that is inescapable in games....WRONG. The characters are simply no better than those in Oblivion (and those weren't really that great to begin with). They look bad because texturing is weak/bad, and areas that could have used extra pixels didn't get that attention. Also, the normals they use go against the actual physical grain of the models....WEAK. Environments are intersting, but nothing we haven't seen before. Sounds are good, I'll give the developers that. Voice acting is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. Can I not think for myself? Do I need some (annoying) indian saying "Holy $#^t" when something explodes? NO. The story is okay, I must admit I was quite interested when abduction occured, very good scene there, and there are some nice twists along the end. But, this game WILL NOT change anything about the way games are created, thought of, or played. Walking on different walls is cool, but cool is a word saved for more gimmicks. Just admit it Vicious Sid, and Gamepro, the developers of Prey paid your establishment, and many others, to "play nice" when writing a review. Shame on you all, you help to bring down the entire industry with such useless writing.
