NowGamer: Following Prey 2 developer Nathan Cheever saying Prey 2 was 'in limbo', NowGamer got in touch with Bethesda regarding the status of the project and was told there was 'no updated info on Prey 2'.
You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.
"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"
The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.
I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.
As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up
If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.
One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere
One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.
We go on a trip through memory lane.
Prey 2 and SW 1313 sadden me the most. The internal politics behind those decisions is sickening. Serious feels for the crews that worked on these.
Danny O'Dwyer, formerly of GameSpot, released a documentary on developer Arkane Studios today, through their Patreon-supported company, Noclip. Along with their employees and supported by 4,197 patrons, O'Dwyer managed to talk to the studio behind the Dishonored series about their projects, including three cancelled games.
I hope whatever Deathloop is ends up being amazing but then again considering who the publisher is I don't really have a lot of faith in the title.
"somebody shoot dis mothaf***a"
The first Prey was a fun game.
come on.
Personally I'm kind of happy that this seemed to of vanished off the radar. This was never a Prey sequel in the first place.
Prey was about being hunted, confused and disorientated thanks to the multiple ways you could travel via portals, spirit walks, planetoid gravity and buttons which affected the direction of gravity.
This did not look like Prey at all.
Good or bad. I think Prey 2 could have been awesome. Its not canned per say. More or less they are considering shifting the game to a new game engine since next generation consoles are launching within a year or so.
I still believe this game could hit in 2013. If not anything coming is likely a total remake or its hitting the can. I expect between E3 2013-2014 we will hear something about Prey 2.
