it's been forever since I played the first Prey but I don't remember anything like this aside from perhaps the single usable portal in the game? Was pretty cool at the time and then Valve explored the concept properly in Portal 1 & 2.

Having said that, the original Prey looks pretty rough these days. And I don't see how a single portal is "the same thing" at all.

In fact, I think the only thing that I can think of to compare to is the ending of Portal 2 where you shoot a portal to the moon, but even that was just a single portal to a fairly low detail environment.

Are you referring to Prey's usage of that portal? Or something else.

FYI, the new Prey game released a few years ago is amazing. It has basically nothing to do with the original because they apparently just wanted to use their rights to the name on a flagship title. But it's amazing if you're into System Shock/BioShock type games.
