Voice Acting

This is a sub-page of Development:Prey (2006).

In the event that a prototype of Prey featuring these lines ever surfaces, make sure to move/recategorize/rename these files appropriately. Only leave lines that have noticeable differences from or are absent from this hypothetical build.

To do:

  • Use the available design documents and any other information to try and piece where these lines were meant to be used.
  • TBInterface01.wav has additional metadata.
  • Provide translations/transliterations of the non-English lines (if what is being spoken is actually a real Native American language and not gibberish).
    • Lines that are in need of translation are denoted with purple.

Found in the Voice acting/WAV folder of the archive released by Mr Tibbs are various voice lines from Paul Schuytema's iteration of Prey.

Seeing that these lines are presented without additional context, it makes it a little unclear where these were meant to have been heard. With some design documents and a little speculation, a rough guess can be made.
