I've been reading rumors that the textures in the demo were somewhat downgraded to reduce the download size, has anyone had a chance to compare the demo to the full game?

I havent been paying attention. You know I'm happy with it anyway so all I can reccommend is just try the full version for yourself.

That wouldn't make any sense since the 360 demo of Prey was MASSIVE, like 3x the size of the PC demo even.

I read the same thing over at 3drealms forums, they stated they lowered the texture quality to reduce the size of the demo.
Maybe lestats technical know-how can tell us why the 360 versions demo was 3x the size of the PC's as stated by SJ.

They said it was 3 times the size for loading speed purposes eg the textures were already unpacked and ready to roll. So perhaps they had to downsample the textures to stop the demo being fucking crazy bloated.
More likely they are downsampled because they did a fucking hack of a port and just lowered the detail settings until they reached an acceptable framerate.

Yep. Textures are worse. There are a few "side by side" comparisons out there on the net if you do a search.
