Bethesda Presents - Prey 2 (CANCELLED)

[Major_Blackhart]

Blaaaah.
Fucking awful.

 

[Metro]

Prey 1 wasn't that good.

 

[ohWOW]

I always thought it's a worse Doom 3.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Yes. Prey 1 was shit, but Prey 2 doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, except the name.

 

[Lyric Suite]

The game not meeting their quality standards probably means it isn't enough of a Call of Duty clone in their eyes. So they have given the studio more time to rethink their game in more, shall we say, "generic" terms.

I found Prey 1 to be pretty fun. Closer at least to the shooters of old than the shit that's spewed out today.

Prey 2 looked like it had nothing in common with the first game at all. Might as well have put a new name on it or something. Would've been better if it had been canceled.

Yet simultaneously more novel. It's not without its flaws, but when someone really trashes it, I can't help but think they got hung up on the whole "can't die" thing.

When a futuristic urban bounty hunter FPS is announced, I have a very hard time giving a damn what it's named. Call it "Queer Game for Poo-Pants Retards" and sell physical copies only, and I'd still be lined up outside the shop.

 

[ohWOW]

There are no lines to buy games.

Well, it bugged me, and honestly, I cannot find myself playing it through again, because there was almost no challenge involved.

coming out of pax aus which is on this weekend

[Wirdschowerdn]

So Arkane no longer needs to shoehorn gay Tommy into their own Prey2-in-name-only game.

 

[Metro]

I'm sure it would have been as awesome as Derpshonored.

 

[Darth Roxor]

"Human Head Studios is no longer working on. It's a franchise we still believe we can do something with -- we just need to see what that something is."

Nowhere does it mention Arkane, though.

 

[Turtle-Zone 3000]

So a level designer is revealing the level design he did on the game when it was back at Human Head.
