I don't see how it's a reboot. Granted, we know next to nothing of this game but the first one was about aliens abducting people and you being a native american dude. This so far is nothing like that. Reboots usually have something to do with the original at least.

In order for something to be called generic there needs to be at least tens of games that fit the same description.
There's no such thing as a "Generic "scary" "psychological" shooter" and you fucking know it. You can be salty abut Prey 2 never going to be a thing, I am too, but that doesn't mean Arkane can't make something interesting with this new PREY.

As an end user I'll play it as long as it's quality software.

But I'm furious that they moved away from the Alien Bounty Hunter plot of Prey 2. That original trailer was cool as shit.

It's a pretty fucking poor reboot then since the only things it has in common with the original Prey is the very basic premise (stuck out in space with nasty aliens) and the fact that they're both first person games

The story is different, the setting is different and the gameplay is most likely going to be very different
>>
I don't mind stupid inappropriate game titles, but there's one thing that just pisses me off with things like this. From now on, whenever you google "Prey", you'll have results for the new one at the top and finding the original will be more of a pain.

Offcourse there is reason.
They wanna market it for people that never played them.

Don't do this. Their fanbase and relationship just can't compare, they go away with things no one else can.

Regarding Bethesda, if you remember or were around before Fallout 3 confirmation and release, one of the discussions around it was if it would be calloud Fallout or Fallout 3, Bethesda choose to number it as a reassurance they would keep faithfull to the Fallout legacy. So in a way, it was also part of a marketing stunt.
And if you look at Elder Scrolls covers, the subtitle gets more emphasis than the actual title.

Bethesda rushed publishing New Vegas to the Christmas market.

https://www.engadget.com/2012/03/15/obsidian-missed-fallout-new-vegas-metacritic-bonus-by-one-point/

>Unfortunately for Obsidian, Fallout: New Vegas currently has a Metacritic average of 84, a single point below the average that would've earned the company royalties on its product.

http://gamerant.com/publishers-abuse-game-reviews/

>Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment, later said that they agreed to a compressed timeline for Fallout: New Vegas, and subsequently they wound up scrambling a bit in development. That compressed timeline, which the publisher pushed for, ultimately worked in Bethesda’s favor. Fallout was released with bugs that drove down its Metacritic score (to one point shy of the target), and subsequently the publisher didn’t have to pay Obsidian a bonus.

Bethesda is a really scummy company.

They had several more months to do QA. Bethesda said "lolno" and kicked it out the door just to get out of paying the bonus.

Plus, it wasn't the first time Bethesda abused their devs.

Zenimax/Bethesda were in charge of handling quality assurance for the game, but they completely half-assed it (there's only like 3 QA people in the credits).

That coupled with the tight release schedule meant the game ended up being pretty fucking buggy at launch, which resulted in some less than stellar reviews. Those reviews caused Obsidian to miss out on royalties because the game's metacritic score was ONE point below their goal, as a result a lot of people had to get laid off and they most likely would've gone bankrupt if their kickstarter hadn't been successful.
>>
>>341864131
>>341864445
Obsidian agreed to only get their bonus if it got an 85 on metacritic. Obsidian agreed to a compressed development cycle. Obsidian's games are notoriously buggy and under-perform so they had to take a bit of a rough deal but that's not scummy on Bethesda's part.
>>
>>341865309
However, it is scummy that Bethesda was in charge of QA and failed and that regard, ultimately leading to the metascore falling short of a single point.

The only ''psychological'' games on that list are Call Of Cthulhu and System Shock/Bioshock 1/2 (3 isn't even out, Infinite wasn't even scary).
The others are either action games with horror elements or simply use cheap jump-scares.
And even all the games you mentioned were psychological horror then you'd have 17 games across 20 years, which automatically dismisses the idea of a generic horror/psychol. FPS.

I thought the combat in Fallout 4 was alright, didn't they hire a someone from bungie and asked Id to help? Hopefully they do the same for TES VI

That's because FO4's combat was standard FPS shooting. You have to be completely retarded to fuck that up.

>just want dark messiah 2
again, after the dishonored debacle I doubt they're ever going to release something of that calibur again

now you have raphael deadeyes, working on prey by himself with their b-team, and harvey "invisible war" smith working on dishonored: now with a gender slider

A few years ago I went online in Prey on xbox 360 and met 2 other people in the servers. We boosted all of the online achievements in a couple of days since nobody else joined the servers ever

Neither did prey 2 when it was in production. What's your point.

yep. I can't believe people actually liked prey. I mean, it had some interesting puzzles, but the rest of the game was pretty terrible. and tommy was an annoying cunt.

This looks far better than Prey 2
God that looked like shit
No I'm not baiting
You're lucky a sequel even got made with how fucking terrible the first game was

A 5/10 game gets a sequel? That shit would never happen now.
