Jerry from BagoGames says, "The year 2017 will go down as one of the best gaming years in history, which is a good and bad thing. You can miss games like Prey."
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.
Prey reviewed worse than the first game and didn't sell well either in comparison, so I think people overlooked it intentionally
Enhance it for Xbox One X and it won't be overlooked.
I'm sad to say that I overlooked this too. I did pick it up a few days ago though, and it's held my interest more than most games I've played this year.
It's like the modern Deus Ex. So much to explore, unravel and discover, while there's very little hand-holding and a lot of choice on how to progress.
It also has one of the most impressive atmospheres this year. Maybe not as much as Hellblade, but it keeps you on your toes.
I recommend it to anyone who misses games where you have to use your mind to overcome enemies and the environment... Seems like there's few of those left now.
Also, if you read the article, I would ignore the part about using a guide. It's much more immersive to explore and find neuromods for a sense of reward for exploration and solving environmental puzzles by yourself. No idea why people spoil their enjoyment of a game to reach the end.
Prey was the biggest disappointment of 2017. I love Arkane and their work with Dishonored but this was such a let down. Give me Human Head's vision any day of the week.
