I don't get it.
you kno the song "im a little teapot?" it can come true in this game.
I don't get it.
A bit more on the overall plot and direction and some screenshots:
I have to admit I'm a bit surprised that so many here are seemingly attached to the Prey IP. I thought the original game was alright but nothing special. I don't recall it ever being brought up much on the forum and it didn't seem like it had *that* many fans on here.
I understand the concept footage for Prey 2 looked very compelling. I agree, but it seems most are dismissing this quickly simply because it's not that game. I mean, that was 5-6 years ago. I thought most would just let it go by now.

I think if the trailer was better, people would have more stuff to talk about besides prey 2.

My problem is that pretty much every other post in any topic about this new Prey game is just whining about Prey 2 when in reality Prey 2 could have been absolutely god awful or it could have been really good, but the thing is we don't know. It's not like we are discussing a game that we've seen, played, and knew was going to be absolutely worth it, were discussing 'what ifs' and 'what could have beens' on a subject that is several years old. It's been talked about again and again and at this point I'm just re-reading the same complaints as I did years ago and I personally am just tired of the conversation being about something we don't even have a completed version to actually compare anything too. I'm not saying Bethesda didn't do some horrible and shitty things but I am saying not every discussion about this game has to be derailed by discussion of Prey 2. This doesn't happen with every Star Wars game because 1313 got canceled, it shouldn't happen here.
I want to talk about THIS Prey game, what do you like or not like about what were seeing about it (besides that its not fucking Prey 2!)? Does the idea that despite the name that its very like Bioshock or System Shock interest you? That kind of thing.
Edit: 4 of the 7 posts between your post and this one were bringing up Prey 2 or how this doesn't look like Prey/Prey2. While its possible some people just aren't informed of what happened sevearl of those posts specifically mention how they wish it was Prey 2 instead, thats what I'm talking about and tired of hearing again and again.
Not sure it will sell you on it but half of our design team here shipped the source of your avatar.I'm not attached to the IP, I'm just wondering why even call this game Prey as it's obviously not a Prey game. Prey was somewhat of a legendary title and it had some things which made it into a "Prey game". This Prey lacks them all it seems and is much closer to System Shock than Prey. So it just feels strange to see Prey name on that one.
Where can I find a good summary of all this Bethesda Prey hostile stuff?
Oh, I'm sold, as on any System Shock game or any game from Arkane really at this point. It's just a strange choice of name that bothers me a bit.Not sure it will sell you on it but half of our design team here shipped the source of your avatar.
What was shown could've been a vertical slice, but we were showed it being played. There's gameplay demo footage over on YouTubeAlso, the original Prey was ok, it was never anything special. The Prey 2 reveal looked cool but only had one hook, catch aliens because you're a bounty hunter. It was canned well before we even got to see it being played.
Welp. All points that E3 trailer was CG.
Am I alone in thinking the original Prey was completely mediocre?
No.
But also this game has almost nothing in common with the original Prey except the name. It's not even the same devs.
Can we all at least agree to not blame Arkane for this situation?
This seems like it'll be up my alley. Very excited for Dishonored 2 as well.
A bit more on the overall plot and direction and some screenshots:
This was the definite winner of the Quakecon showcase, with each subsequent gameplay reveal making the crowd go nuts. The guns looked solid to use and included your standard fare such as a silenced pistol and a shotgun, while there was weirder weaponry such as the GLOO Gun, which could not only freeze enemies in place, but could be used to seal open pipes and shoot goo onto walls to climb to higher areas. Another cool gadget was this grenade that had the ability to "recycle" things in the environment; thrown in a cluttered storage area, it subsequently turned crates and toolboxes into synthetic elements that could be used. The powers showcased looked cool too, such as the mentioned Mimic ability and the kinetic push ability (both reveals made the audience go nuts). The enemies seen included both aliens and robots, and looked interesting as well. The alien enemies were crazy hard to fight, being able mimic items such as trash cans and books, propelling themselves across the room and able to take a lot of punishment. One hulking alien enemy was chasing the player during the demo and was able to morph from a big brawny looking hulk to this thinner, longer lizard form. The upgrade system resembled a tree system that also allowed for upgraded strength that allowed the player to grab giant boxes and lob them across the room like it weightless. There were zero g sections that were navigated with a jetpack, and the devs said that the whole station was being treated as one open world that could be navigated this way. The art looked more like a cleaner but menacing retro sci fi style, and the entire demo was oozing the best parts of System Shock and Bioshock. Hearing the game being stressed as a first person immersive rpg from the devs was very reassuring, and overall this was definitely my favorite part of the show.
The trailer didn't do a very good job at showing off the game parts of the game. Outside of that though it sounds like it could be a fantastic game. This video does a way better job at selling the game to me, but I get that what he talks about in it isn't easy to show off in a two minute trailer. Hopefully more extended gameplay previews will show up at some point.Surprised at the tepid reactions, everything we've seen/heard so far looks great. And the writing is bound to be top notch.
