Your right in the fact that there is not a pre-alpha stage in software devlopment. Or at least not one that people ever talk about. The comment I made was what was really said to me and my friend at E3.
He asked them "So is this a beta build?" and the guy laughed and said "More like pre-alpha" meaning that it wasn't really a build at all. Just something they had whipped up for the show.
That was a long time ago. Infact at the time that comment was made Dave G. (PS's Producer) was still working for Dynamix trying to sort out Tribes 2.
Now if that wasn't a "pre-alpha" version of the game I don't know what would be.
