Bethesda has announced that it has removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from the Steam version of Prey.
BY JOHN: There are lots of commercially successful games that are, to put it mildly, not very good. Whether they launch broken, or they’re just a cookie-cutter version of another title, some games just hit the jackpot when it comes to sales numbers.
But, what about those games that are well worth playing but don’t sell well? It can be too easy to miss a great gaming experience just because it wasn’t a commercial smash hit, despite having a strong story or interesting gameplay mechanics. This can be due to poor marketing, the timing not being right in the market or dozens of other reasons.
Here are ten games that flopped commercially but are well worth checking out.
Prey shouldn't have been connected to the original, they should've changed the name. It looked good and had decent exploration but it was way too long and the ending was trash. Definitely gets more praise in the comments than it should.
I couldn’t get into Prey when I played it. I own it so I’ll try again someday.
I think the issue with Prey is how the media were infatuated with everything done by Arkane Studio and the Dishonored Universe.
For some reason they need to remind us all the time that Dishonored is among the best games and everything related to that suddenly becomes near perfection.
cue the same treatment for Deathloop.
Game Rant Writes "With Redfall's launch on the horizon, Arkane Studios shouldn't miss out on the renewed popularity of a particular genre with a sequel to Prey."
It was ok but not a great game . Plus gamepass will prevent physical sales. It’s not a system seller type of game
One of the best game of the generation with the worst name ever. Neuro Shock (not Prey 2017) alongside the Dishonored franchise should be given the 1st Party treatment by Microsawft.
Why buy absolute monster studios like Arkane just to waste them away making Gamepass bait? Don't you have Rare for that? Soon you'll have ActivisionBlizzard for that too.
Give this Redfall: Rebellion version of the game to a low tier studio and let Arkane make a true 1st Party Single Player game about vampires called Redfall.
SMH...
I enjoyed prey but if I remember right the original stuff had you playing a alien bounty hunter. Would've been so much more fun
Xbox Game Pass Quests recently reset for the month of October. So if you try to collect as many Microsoft Rewards points as possible, there's a new set available now.
Seems Denuvo is creating technical problems to games
Took them long enough. I found it ran pretty well even with it though.
One of the most underrated games this gen.
This game is still on my to finish list, it's a great game I just keep getting side tracked by other games.
Does anyone know if Assassin's Creed origins uses de novo because that was that complete mess
