An innovative and and refreshing fps title which I enjoyed a fair amount. Will keep one eye open for the second.

Prey was a great game, just good to finaly get something away from the norm.
looking forward to this.

It was a decent enough game, but I'm struggling to fathom why they've suddenly decided a sequel to be a good idea at this point. Did the original even sell that well?

Even odder news than The Darkness 2. Just seems a strange IP to suddenly decide to revive. Or is this just somebody picking at the corpse of 3D Realms? Are we going to get a Shadow Warrior sequel soon?

LOL, yes. Plenty of bum holes and female bits in Prey. Maybe they'll have male anatomy in Prey 2.

Great game, hope this is as good as the first.

I couldn't physically play this game. It made me feel really sick. Going upside down and spinning around. *pukes*

Crikey, motion sickness and disorientation from a game, didn't think it was possible.

Arcane · 14 Mar 2011 at 19:20

It's using iD Tech 5!

Astro97 · 14 Mar 2011 at 21:17

I enjoyed the original. It never quite managed to hit the highest level consistantly, but there were some great bits (like when you come into a room with a small glass case with an asteroid on, then go through a portal & get shrunk & end up fighting on the asteroid).
It had enough to pull me through to the end, which is a complement in itself.
I did think his whole native american identity thing was shallowley done, he starts off being totally negative about his heritage, then comes round to the idea when it gives him super powers. It just seemed like a well meaning, but ignorant outside perspective on the whole thing.
The sequence getting beamed into the alien ship was great (I do remember the bit where you could turn the machine back on and murder some people & your man's reaction).
BTW, this sequal was actually confirmed (with no shots or anything), like 3 years ago. Just don't think anyone noticed. Given that it was never cancelled, I'd say this is business as usual.

Devs apparently confirmed earlier it's a heavily modified idTech 4 engine like Brink, not Tech 5.

Pigeon_Killer · 15 Mar 2011 at 01:08

I played the demo, I liked what I saw so I bought it. Wish I had just played the demo for 5 hours and spent the money on smack or something. Prey 2 will have to be very good for me to even bother with a demo if there is one.

Do you have a link for that? I assumed from below that it'd be iD Tech 5.

Bethesda Blog said:
Prey 2 is being built on the cutting edge id tech engine from id Software.

Blues News said:
The Bethesda Blog has the official announcement of Prey 2, saying the first-person shooter that surfaced on Friday courtesy of a French magazine is expected to be released next year for Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The game is in development at Prey developer Human Head Studios, using "the cutting edge id tech engine from id Software" (presumably the Tech 5 engine from RAGE and DOOM 4). "We are thrilled to be working with Bethesda on Prey 2," says project lead Chris Rhinehart. "Prey 2 will provide gamers the opportunity to explore a new facet of the Prey universe, one that offers fast-paced action in an open, alien world. We're excited to show gamers the title we have been working on and hope they will be as excited by this title as we are." They have launched a Prey 2 Facebook Page where they say more information will be revealed next week.
