We review XBox 360's biggest game of the summer. Was it worth the wait or simply another overhyped title for the budget bin? Find out in our full review!
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
it DEFINATELY isn't deserving of a 8.5 out of 10. more like a 7.8. i traded my copy in yesterday. it was quite underwhelming.
You have to play it on a hd television to really appreciate unbelievable detail in the envirements...WOW...on a standard tv...its still good but its just another shooter with some neat twists with the gravity walking. Who buys the game without trying the demo for free? lol...why buy it and return it if you can play the demo. The demo gives you a good idea of what the game is about. lol....All reviews have been giving it a Great score but I agree with IGN saying its a classic and editors choice game. Zypher, did you play the demo? lol....If you liked the demo you should have loved the game. If you didn't like the demo...then you most likely wouldn't enjoy the game...lol...and if you don't have online to get the demo, then You don't get the full benefit of the game. Online frag fest is where its at.
way way too short,no more than 5 hours and while it looks good the hype about online play is only true if you like the "quake" style of play. Me pearsonaly,I perfer battlefield of ghost recon play vs. this type.And more than 10 dollard an hour for single player(what the developers said was the main focus)is just nuts.
Im over 7+ hours in and not done yet. Im happy with how it's going. The expierence is unique, nice to play something out of the norm in the FPS arena! I feel my $70 was well spent on this game.
Outside of Nintendo you will need a HD-TV to truely enjoy the quality you deserve out of your Next-Gen system. I went from playing my 360 on a 14 inch flat screen Magnavox... to a 30 inch Samsung Widescreen HD-TV CRT! and the difference is astonishing. Prey looks f**king amazing on my tv. I hated Perfect Dark on my regular tv but I pulled it back out the other night and Im addicted to it, the visuals on my tv (regardless of how you all feel about the game) got me back into it and has me trying to be the game now.
Also I can't wait to get my broadband internet as I will definatley be taking Prey online! Prey was very much a welcome addition to my FPS collection as it easily should be in everyones!!!!
Im not saying Wii is not Next-Gen just because it don't utilize HD-TV!!!
Im so getting one!!!!!
