Why's this allowed?
>>
fuck
>>
I mean, the new one doesn't look generic
>>
The original devs wouldn't allow themselves to be bought out by Bethesda, so all negotiations were cut off and Bethesda waited for the game's rights to go back to them and let the old nearly finished game die so they could reboot it.

I will never get over this fucking bullshit.
If it didn't meet their god damned standards, then why in the Sam hell would you outright can a game with as much hype as it had? Was there really no way to save it? I can't believe that developing a whole new fucking game from the ground up was the right answer.

Whats hilarious to me is that when prey 2 was originally announced, it was faggots like you whom were
actually calling it generic, and that it looked nothing like the first one. Fucking indecisive faggots.

I can play this game too anon.

>with as much hype as it had
Most of, if any, the hype the game originally had came forth during its last days right before it was cancelled. Most people hated it when it was first revealed, since
it looked nothing like the first.
>>
>>341000156

There is literally no information on the new game yet outside of the teaser. Calm the fuck down.

The game was massively hyped by the Internet and people were pissed when it got cancelled

Okay so you've neither seen Blade Runner nor played System Shock, cool.

Also fuck Bethesda Marketing for thinking nobody would enjoy Tommy because he's Native American and deemed "too whiny" in the original.

Anybody suspect that they are still going to use the Prey 2 assets/setting/idea and continue to branch it off to become it's own game?

I mean, Prey 2 was looking to be a great game. Why would they waste that?
>>
>>341009146
Really? Only the CGI trailer looked good.
Gameplay released look like pretty generic shit. And repetitive as fuck.
>>
>>341009352
Which is why now they could go back and improve and call it something else other than Prey 2.
>>
>>341009146
It's already called Prey and not Prey 2, I doubt it'll contain any of its ideas.
Knowing modern Bethesda there's gonna be no spirit animal the guide and aide you, that's the real loss here.

It's about what makes mmmmooonnneyy
>>
>>341013651
They literally said Prey 2 didn't meet their quality standards and that's why it was canned.
>>
>>341009895
That's the difference between prey 2 fans and others.

One of them is more interested in gameplay than fashion.
>>
>>341013908
More like they gave them 0 budget and then bankrupted the studio when it couldn't perform to ridiculous demands set by publisher, very common tactic.
>>
You can look into the history of Prey 2 if you want. It's al been very well documented.

Bethesda were trying to pressure Human Head into acquisition by setting impossible deadlines and withholding bonuses on that basis. Human Head then essentially starved to death and started having to port games to PC as they couldn't afford AAA development anymore. Bethesda then scrapped their game and gave it to Arkane.
>>
>>341014119
I'm not saying they were honest or correct, just that that was the excuse they gave
>>
>>341013908
It didnt meet their abitrary milestones they set up so they can fuck over Human Head.
E.g. something like setting up a milestone that the game has to reach beta stage after 1 year and as such Bethesda didnt pay Human Head a single dimme for the game and Human Head not wanting to end up like other Bethesda or EA victims choose to blow themselves up.
Very likely the reason why they didnt use anything of Prey 2 is because due to weird legal state they didnt own the code of Prey 2, as the contract was terminated and Human Head made the game off their own accord financially wise.

Just bought Prey (2006). What am I in for?
>>
>>341015041
a run of the mill shooter from that era

what made it special was at the time the MC and friends were native american voice actors

outside of that the level design was cool and weapons were kinda cool
>>
>>341015210
Cool. Picked it up for $10 so even if I don't like it, it wasn't a big waste.
