The first Prey game should be commended for putting players into the shoes of an original protagonist amidst a sea of generic heroes found in every other videogame.
The newly revealed sequel seems to throw that virtue out the window.
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.
It says bethesda are making it, they're not, they are just the new publisher for it
So?
one picture and the game sucks?
for all we know the guy on the front cover could be an NPC.
OR if he is the main character he could be a norwegian Garbage truck driver.
You can't just start hating a game if you have only seen one pic.
As long you can make portals like in the original Prey im ok with it.
While I disagree that this is "everything" that is wrong with video games today, I do agree that as a huge fan of the original Prey, this cover makes me very skeptical.
I really liked Tommy, and I loved the story, environments, and mechanics of the first Prey.
Prey still looks pretty, even though it came out at the beginning of this gen. I might just have to stick to playing that instead..
i'll reserve judgement until i see more info.
until then, i'm just hoping the gameplay that made prey 1 unique would not be dumbed down to appeal to the masses.
