Kotaku has a rumor of some of the details of the storyline in Prey 2, Human Head's just-announced first-person shooter sequel. They say "a source close to the game" tells them: "players will take on the role of a federal air marshal who is aboard the commercial airliner seen crashing in the spaceship early on in the original game. Prey 2 takes place during the same time frame as the original, but with this different perspective." They offer further unconfirmed details, calling the game an open--world shooter where the player ends up a bounty hunter on "a seedy alien planet that sounds a bit like the future Earth of Blade Runner."

Kotaku has posted some of the details of the storyline in Prey 2, Human Head's just-announced first-person shooter sequel. Here's a taster:
In Prey 2, a source close to the game tells Kotaku, players will take on the role of a federal air marshal who is aboard the commercial airliner seen crashing in the spaceship early on in the original game. Prey 2 takes place during the same time frame as the original, but with this different perspective, we're told.

In Prey, Tommy sees a commercial airliner crashing onto the surface of the space ship he is on and hears a pilot calling in a mayday for "Seajay Air 6401." Later in the game Tommy comes across a human survivor of the crash in a holding cell.

'We were flying over Topeka and then the lights, the lights, the lights everywhere. They took us off the plane... They.. .there's a big one.. It eats... it eats," the survivor tells Tommy before losing it and telling him to shut the cell door.

Prey 2 follows the air marshal as he makes his way through the same ship, fighting off different warring alien factions with his pistol until an alien captures him. After that opening, used to tie the two games together, the game jumps forward, we're told, to a seedy alien planet that sounds a bit like the future Earth of Blade Runner. This is where the game really opens up, revealing the marshal as the only human on an alien planet working as a bounty hunter. The game is meant to be an open world title with multiple ways to complete objectives, but at its heart it is still a first-person shooter, we're told. Players will get clients via a communicator and gather information from the environment and the inhabitants by scanning non-player characters. These scans, we're told, reveal a character's intentions and identity.

We don't know much more about the game, but we were told that one twist to the first-person shooter mechanic is the ability to grip ledges for cover and a heavy emphasis on platforming.​

That is a completely different direction for the game, not sure what to make of it yet.
 
This game is going to be epic.
I wonder if they're still going to keep the rotational thing in the game where ceilings become floors and vice versa.
 
I only played the demo of this game and loved it. Suppose it's time to buy it. It's £1.99 on certain sites and can be activated on Steam. (You cannot buy it on Steam for some reason).

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?

Hard to say really, but I do remember it being the first ever game to "sell out" on steam, due to no more cdkeys left lol. The MP part of the game was good fun as well and reminded me quite a lot of the original UT games.
 
No mention of PC :confused:
Earlier writeup's said it would be on PC. Hope it's not console only.
