SPOnG spoke to a 2K Games rep earlier today who assured tehm they are doing everything they can and that the 360 demo should be up "in the very near future."
The game, based on the Doom 3 Engine, features some interesting stuff, including spirit-walking, wall-walking and something called 'the Deathwalk' which allows you to fight back to life when you die.
The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.
well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3
Not even this Prey
Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy
The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.
Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.
Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.
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
Anyone checked today? I hope its today probably for sure by tomorrow b/c I need to play it this weekend!!
When they say "soon"...does that mean a day a two, or a month or two?
I'm getting a little tired of all of this. They should simply not announce if they can't guarantee delivery. They should announce games launch dates as they always did. But not demos or Xbox live arcade games since they obviously don’t feel enough pressure to meet their own deadlines when it comes to demos or Xbox live arcade content. I know developing software it is not easy and video game it’s probably the most difficult form of software development (I am a software/database/web developer myself); but lots of people are having problems managing their expectations, when it comes to promised content. It seems that 95% of the time any new content is announced it end up being postponed without any explanation or any details of when the content will be available. It’s unlikely that this is the reputation Microsoft wants to have regarding Xbox live; but this is the reputation that it is currently earning.
more likely a month or so
we need another online gaming cosole that'll give microsoft a run for their money
