First, the original game beats portal to portals, generates tons of hype, then hits development hell and disappears for ages.

Then the game gets a miracle revival that is actually incredible and unique, and it gets largely forgotten, and even called derivative.

Then despite having a vastly overlooked original, the game manages to get a unique and interesting looking sequel, only for it to vanish.

Then the series gets rebooted to something completely different, which still manages to be largely overlooked despite still being fantastic and offering some amazing dlc.

The series must be cursed :/

Seriously.

Prey 1 was amazing for its day. Probably still is in many ways. Really solid, unique shooter.

The bounty hunting aspect of the second seemed like a great concept for a game and we havent really seen anything like it

And Prey 2017 is Bioshock / Deus Ex and System System shock levels of good and no one gives it the credit it deserves. Its one oft favourite games ever.

Not giving any reviewers early access killed the 2017 Prey.
Caused reviewers to boycott it. It's a shame.

Prey 2016 was a masterpiece. modern successor to system shock, further beyond what bioshock tried

I love love LOVED Prey 1 and I would do pretty much anything for a sequel. Starting out with Tommy in that bar with some Priest rockin, then getting abducted by aliens? That shit was phenomenal

Prey 2 was definitely good but it wasn't my style. Really wish the original series didn't die.

If it had a different name it would have probably been viewed better.

Ignore when people say that the title length is not important, that a title should just convey what the game is about. They're just jealous theirs isn't as long

2017(?) Prey was amazing and I'm annoyed I didn't play it sooner.

The same thing happened with Doom and that sold fine.

I appreciated both for what they were.

The first Prey will always have a soft spot in my heart since Native Americans rarely get any representation in video games when they aren't cultural caricatures or killing dinosaurs.

I own the newer one but haven't played it. I still have fond memories of "Don't Fear the Reaper" on the jukebox as the aliens invaded.

It was one of the first games I played on 360 and it was fantastic.

I still would love to play Prey 2 hearing so much information about the game it sounds so great and the demo was amazing. To bad Bethesda fuck over Human Head Studios.

I agree. It was less of Doom 3 style shooter and more of a Bioshock style FPS with crafting.

Two entirely different flavors.
