Don Chalmers at GameCloud writes: "Tomorrow, Arkane's latest and arguably most intriguing game yet, Prey, will be released. For the uninitiated, this is a great time for fervent optimism, and the demo for Prey is available for Xbox and PS4 owners to try at this very moment. For the rest of us, it is also a time for some much needed quiet reflection on the game from which Prey takes its name. Developed by Human Head Studios and originally released in 2006, Prey is a horror-themed FPS that, in a twist of fate that has ironically become a defining characteristic of this franchise, was also a revival of a previously cancelled project from 1998. 'Unique' is a term that frequently gets bandied about to describe gaming curios from times past, but 'oddity' was and still is the best label to give the original Prey. Bloody-awesome, incidentally, is also a valid description. I recently made my way through this decade-old gem and found myself blown away by how Prey truly is unlike any game that came before it – or any since."
Development footage of the canceled sequel to Bethesda Softworks and Human Head Studios' Prey has leaked online.
WolfEye Studios president and co-founder of Arkane Studios Raphaël Colantonio has said Dishonored and Prey fans “will be happy” with his new studio's next game.
Ouch, already placing a sales cap on this is potentially bad as these games never seem to sell all too well. Hopefully the budget is in check so no one gets laid off after launch.
Fuck yeah. Even if it’s just a spiritual successor I want more titles like Dishonored in terms of art style, design and gameplay
The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.
well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3
But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.
Dishonored is Lyon's flagship IP ... Austin only assisted in the first one, the sequel was wholly developed at Lyon whilst Austin developed Prey.
If Dishonored 3 was indeed greenlit ... rest assured, it would've been helmed primarily by the Lyon studio.
Not even this Prey
Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy
The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.
Don't worry there are some other games in development that might fill that void. Look up Vigilancer.
Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got
I really didn't like this game, tried it because of how loved the original Prey was, played the demo of this one and thought it was garbage, it didn't feel nice/fun to play.
Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.
Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.
Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.
Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.
Exactly.
And now they want fans to believe this other game which took the name Prey, is what I want to play.
No, I know what I wanted to play.
I know which game was better, this "knock -off" Frankenstein rip off Prey game by Arkane, is garbage compared to the potential, the greatness of the 1st & Original game, THE REAL PREY, which has a Native American lead.
