NIGAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

What happened to Prey was worse than what happened to DNF. Imagine getting your shit closed down when it was an actual sequel and then replaced by a zombie SS2 clone, while the parasites behind NuPrey swore that they were "forced" to use the name.

>How do you feel knowing that this masterpiece didn't come out in this timeline?
I'm not weeping over it, considering it's from the same studio that produced such masterpieces like Redfall and the Quiet Man.

>>719733490
You're dumb

>>719733619
You're right, because I also forgot Rune 2, Minimum, Survived By, and all those wonderful slot machine games.

>>719733731
poopy head

Prey is a simple and rather generic name.
I don't believe the morons who claim to be upset by Prey 2017 being called that. It's just too stupid a thing to say.
The new Predator movie was called Prey as well, does that bother you as well? Ofc not.

Tha being said, just from the trailer Prey 2 seemed to be... nothing. It was borderline CGI they didn't really show anything.

>>719732758 (OP)
I just started playing Prey and most enemies feel like bullet sponges even though I'm playing on normal. I wanted to make a sneaky sneaky build but sneak attacks barely do any extra damage.

Am I doing something wrong or should I start over? I'm like 8 hours in.

>>719732758 (OP)
>The people who made the reboot didn't want to name it Prey, they knew it would be a shitshow that would ruin their chances of introducing a new IP
>Publishers forced them to anyway, also a sequel hook

>>719733863
It's not actually that good of a game and I'm fairly certain most of these threads are made by disgruntled human head higher ups.

>>719733356
Put that on ZeniMax Media's tab. Not only did they sabotage the project, they named another project after it.

>>719733840
have you seen the new video posted?

>>719733863
Get a shotgun in the security office in the lobby.

>>719733942
This is a lie.

>>719733942
Someone had posted leaked presentation sliders and it looks like Arkane was in on fucking human head over too.

>>719733979

see
>>719733619
>>719733758

>>719733863
There are skills that increase your damage with guns. You can delete most enemies in 1-2 shotgun hits and 5-6 pistol shots (which is pretty fast).
You'll get to a point where you can get upgrades much easier then you'll be able to experiment some more.

>>719733840
>The new Predator movie was called Prey as well, does that bother you as well?
Yes but not as much since it actually had a Native American person as the MC.

the Bethesda shill showed up in record time holy shit

>>719733840
What's it like being a fucking retard who has no idea what he's talking about? A little research too much for you?

>>719734098
He got really upset that people were badmouthing NuPrey, I'm guessing they're planning a remaster of NuPrey soon.

>>719734027
>since it actually had a Native American person as the MC
... what?
How is that related in anyway?
That doesn't make any sense, the term "prey" has nothing to do with indians. The only connection is that you play an indian in the original game... which is not connected to the Predator movie at all... wtf is wrong with your brain?

>>719733997
>have you seen the new video posted?
No but I was commenting on the past 10 years of bitching/moaning which existed before the reveal of this video.

>>719734006
>>719734018
It makes more sense to me that most of the devs thought it was stupid but the publishers and maybe some decision-maker in the studio wanted it. Similar to the multiple times Naughty Dog was like, "Druckmann don't fucking do that," and he tried to do it anyway (thankfully not always successfully).

>>719734173
They were directly using a screenshot of Prey in their fucking pitch for the game dude, as well as the logo. The story stuff came later, they probably went "well shit, this doesn't have anything to do with Prey anymore, oh well lol we have the IP".

I swear if I make a video game I'm going to name it Prey and make it a sci-fi about alien infestation just to fuck with og Prey fags.
No, actually I'll name my game Prey 2006.

>>719734384

>>719734384
>getting sued by Bethesda to own fans of a long dead IP
Oh no, please don't do that! That would make me really upset.

>>719732758 (OP)
That should we be as forgotten as Brink or Rage

>>719733731
Rune 2 is especially funny because the publisher of it came out and talked about how bad Human Head screwed them.

>>719734170
I'm told you're a schizo shill, so don't expect many more replies from me:
>Something named "Prey" came out that also, coincidentally, centered an Indian and cool Indian stuff, after third "Prey" had erased the first "Prey"'s Indian identity
You're right, it's complete serendipity, but it still made me happy. Now kindly fuck off.

>>719734384
oh man that would make me so steamed grrrrr

>>719732758 (OP)
>How do you feel knowing that this masterpiece didn't come out in this timeline?
Sad because it reminds me people like Bethesda and the disgusting retard of Hines did their worst to ruin a videogame studio, all because HHS refused to be bought by them. The cherry on top of the whole ordeal has to be Arkane studios trying to obtain the IP of Prey, the moment things went sour, in an attempt to save face they lied pretending it was Bethesda's fault alone, and not the malicious collaboration between them and Bethesda that tried to ruin the legacy of HHS and steal their IP.

>>719732758 (OP)
>Pre-Mirror's Edge parkour fun-times
Yeah, I'm sad this never dropped.

>>719734693
The story leaked and it was pure kino too. A great follow up to the original prey.

>>719734675
That whole generation was a bloodbath of "acquisitions". Remember Free Radical?

This is why you never trust conglomerate parasites.

>>719732758 (OP)
Looks like goyslop while Prey (2017) is ludokino

>>719734845
>This is why you never trust conglomerate parasites.
Absolutely.

>>719732758 (OP)
UGH!!! I CANT BELIEVE WE DIDNT GET THIS GENERIC COVER SHOOTER THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRST! UUGHHH THAT 30 SECOND CINEMATIC TRAILER LOOKED SO FUN!

>>719734846
kill yourself

>>719734573
Hey Ben, maybe next time don't hire people who worked on such masterpieces like The Dark Brotherhood: Resurrection or hire forty people in the span of a month when most of your studio is just office space for Raven and Lost Boys, hmm?

>>719734152
>I'm guessing they're planning a remaster of NuPrey soon.
That’s probably exactly what it is and whoever leaked the original prey 2 probably got told about it.

>>719734675
>tried to ruin the legacy of HHS
Lol they did that themselves.

>>719734000
I did. That Technopath enemy or w/e still tanks it like it's firing room temperature jizz shells.

>>719734025
>5-6 pistol shots
That seems like a lie. The sIlenced pistol feels like a pea shooter most of the time.

>>719734960
>THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRST
Huh?

>>719732758 (OP)
Always hilarious to me that we got an actually good unique game with prey 2017 but the tards who were mesmerized by a trailer 15 years ago are still whining we didn't get a by the numbers console shooter

>>719734384
>og Prey fags.
Do these exist? Prey wasnt bad but it was just another tech 3 shooter

>>719735107
the astroturfer is lying

>>719735113
Notice how everytime you point out that Human Head's actual track record is total fucking shit (including the sequel to Rune, their only actual good game), they can't even respond properly to it.

Like it's not one dud, it's every. single. release. Even with actual publishers or Sony behind them they still sucked fucking ass.

>>719735107
I know you never played the first, but it never involved a bounty hunting, sticky cover, or cutscenes.

>>719735113
>actually good
>unique
>game
There are a lot of words I'd use to describe NuPrey, and these aren't any of them.

ooooh the shill is really going at it

>>719735260
It was a direct sequel you absolute fucking moron. You were supposed to play as a soldier that was on the plane during the initial invasion, Tommy played a big role in 2 as well.

>>719735107
What I'd really like is for the two to be launched properly.

>>719735218
notice how you should kill yourself for being such an obvious samefag but also being a shill for bethesda

>>719735363
Why do you know so many intimate details about this old ass game?

>>719734384
>wanting to get fuck by BGS and Zenimax lawyers in an attempt to own the fans of a long gone studio
Sure, go ahead.

>Game gets canceleld for being shit
>Name given to different project
>Surely this means the original was cancelled for the other one
>Better spend the next 10 years of my life complaining about a fucking name
You guys care about the name more than you do the game

>>719735439
hm probably the leak? sure your company knows about it by now

>>719735427
Ben please. You wanted Rune 2 to be an Ark clone but couldn't pull it off. I'm sure you totally had a masterpiece on your hands in between designing Minions games.

>>719735218
Compared with fucking Bethesda? HHS were a good studio, Morrowind is fucking shit. Best thing Bethesda ever did was "fund" CoC:DCotE, which they only did to try and acquire them as well, resulting in the cancellation of the rest of the series after they went "lol nah we're not paying you".

>>719735525
I only want you to kill yourself

>>719735363
A direct sequel that has none of the plot characters or gameplay mechanics? Wtf... this sounds like prey 2017!!!

>>719732758 (OP)
We got an excellent System Shock clone instead so I'm glad.

>>719735439
The story leaked years ago and I really enjoyed the first game. You can read the story outline here.

Mad that I'm airing your dirty laundry? How many lead designers did The Quiet Man go through again? Three?

>>719733356
They had a working title, it was going to be a "shock" game. Zenimax is in fact the group that demanded the name change.

>>719735797
Mad that I'm telling you to kill yourself? How many shill posts have you made in this thread? Thirty?

>>719735741
>Man your studio sucked after we torpedoed you
I'm sure it's Bethesda's fault that the Quiet Man decided to make the entire game have zero audio whatsoever (and was so bad during development that Sony's point of contact with them was savage about how much it sucked shit), and also somehow their fault that you refused to do any post-launch support on Rune 2, or even day-of-launch support.

>>719732758 (OP)
it looks very consolized
but still an interesting base to work off of
also the aliens genuinely look cool

>>719735946
I'm sure it's time to kill yourself.

Why is this faggot obsessed with rune 2 and quiet man. What has Arkane/Bethesda done in recent years? They aren’t much better I’ll tell you that much. Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.

>>719735574
>Morrowind is fucking shit
The funny thing about Morrowind was that, because back then BGS thought they would close after Morrowind, for once the people working on the game did their best, including people that would never work again for BGS, like Goodall that said Todd was a retard that appealed to mainstream retards like him.
That's also why Bethesda included modding tools for Morrowind.
I suspect most core members of nu-Bethesda hate Morrowind and their fans, for example Ashley Cheng hates Morrowind and its fans.

But yeah, Bethesda and the people in charge of the studio are a bunch of evil pricks. HHS didn't deserved that fate and ultimately, Bethesda decided to kill the same studios that were adquired by them.

>>719736003
I'm sure you'd be familiar with suicide, given what you did to your studio.

We're living in the autism crowdsource future, where all it takes is a partial design doc leak for a bunch of nerds to make a github and recreate the game.
We might actually be able to play a good approximation of Prey 2 in a couple of years.

>>719736036
>Whataboutism

>>719736041

deathloop and flopfield, fuck the bethesda shill in this thread, fucker knows why he has to defend bethesda and pretend arkane did nothing wrong.

>>719736086
I mean they've got nothing else. The best part about all this is they tried to pitch Prey 2 to a bunch of other studios around the same time as the Quiet Man, every single one passed because it didn't look that good.

>>719736086
What about killing yourself?

OP, it was buggy, unfinished and unpolished. The fact it became vaporware was pretty telling of it's state..

Mmmh. You are a dishonest faggot.

Human Head survived for years after their relationship with Bethesda fell apart. Bethesda wasn't the one making them make slop, or making them ghost their publisher.

>>719736527
Who said that? The name was forced onto them because Zenimax acquired the rights and wanted to use the name to attract old fans.

>>719736573
Yes. The entire studio was a fucking mess, Quiet Man alone was a development nightmare where you had shit like the entire game's code contained in a single Unreal blueprint and Survived By had some lunatic ideas like paying for respawns.

Damn Bethesda is fucking Scientology tier with the way they continue to harass people.

>there is no space bounty hunter game

There is no cope. Only pain

Here are two autists with absolutely bizzare hateboner for Arkane >>719733356 >>719736246

>>719736825
It was Zenimax under Bethesda that wanted the IP, and I'm not going to bat for Bethesda or Arkane at all, but it just goes to show how fucked the whole situation had become for that studio.

>>719736793
Prey 1 was innovative, these portal and gravity gimmicks were way ahead of time. Nu-Prey is just a bland SS clone, doesn't have any interesting ideas and every enemy is goo. Only impressive if it's your first ever imsim. If it's your second one, you'll be going "I've seen that done better" the entire game

>>719736949
I hate Arkane because they're a shit studio and Dishonored kids convinced me to waste time playing NuPrey.

>>719736949
Here is a shill who should kill himself >>719736949

>>719736909
Just typical mismanagement. They brought on a shitload more people to work on all the new titles which, unsurprisingly, were critical and financial failures. It was always weird to me that they needed to grow that much when there were already contract studios like Lost Boys working on these games.

>>719737057

you tell me, you wanted to talk about arkane

>>719737284
Lost Boys wasn't some third world studio, they were another contract studio based in Madison.

>>719737278

>>719737375
>Some game launches go smoothly, and some don't. Very few go as spectacularly wrong as the rollout of Rune 2. More than two years after it was announced, the game launched on the Epic Games Store on November 12, 2019—and on November 13, developer Human Head Studios closed its doors, leaving the game orphaned on day one. As if that weren't bizarre enough, Human Head resurfaced the very same day as Bethesda Softworks-owned Roundhouse Studios.
>"Rune 2 will be the final game for Human Head Studios," community manager Katherine Stull wrote on the Human Head blog at the time. "After 22 great years of making games as an independent studio, economic realities have forced us to make the decision to wind down the company and close its doors. But while we are closing the book on Human Head, we are not closing the book on the amazing team we have assembled."
>Stull explained that Human Head contacted Bethesda and negotiated the opening of Roundhouse Studios, which picked up its entire former staff. Human Head and Bethesda had an existing relationship, though not an entirely positive one. Human Head was the studio that fought with Bethesda over the original version of Prey 2, which the publisher ultimately cancelled before rebooting the series with Arkane Studios instead.

>>719737404
Take your cyanide and accept that a shill's life is worth nothing.

>>719737343
Can you really not comprehend the difference between in-house work with daily checks and "yeah just give it to the other guys" and waiting a week or two for something that vaguely matches the brief to show up?

Anybody who thinks bethesda doesn’t actively monitor /v/ hasn’t been on this board for very long.

>bunch of angry retards can't articulate reasons behind their anger
stay mad, losers
Prey 2 never ever and HumanHead is no more

tl;dr
kill yourself

>>719737480
I wonder if one of their jeets was the guy spamming starfield-chan?

>>719736949
>absolutely bizzare hateboner for Arkane
Don't you mean Bethesda? Oh wait, you can't post that don't you. Because even if you have to defend both, you prefer to let Arkane studios take the blame, instead of Bethesda, which is ironic because Arkane Studios did the same the moment they felt the heat, just ask their main director or read his interviews about the name Prey.

jeeeeeeesus

the original prey from back then was kino
>start in an indian reservate bar
>get sucked up into alien kino

i cant find the original anywhere nowadays

>>719737278
>why did they run back to Bethesda to work on Redfall
They were bought up and assigned alongside id, why contribute that game entirely to them when it's an Arkane Austin game?

>>719737501
nuprey flopped, deathloop flopped, arkane was gutted because they're trash, starfield flopped, you lost, kill yourself

>>719737501
It's funny that it's a bunch of angry retards screeching but can't prove any of the accusations against Human Head wrong.

>>719737560
I think you can still buy a steam key on one of those key websites.

it's funny that you haven't killed yourself yet

Sometimes you get lucky. I found my copy in a charity shop and the serial code hadn't been redeemed on Steam.

No. And what we are discussing here is not if Arkane did a better game or not, what we are discussing is Bethesda and how they attacked HHS

>>719737501
>Prey 2 never ever and HumanHead is no more
They deserve to fade away, they were mishandled and mistreated at the end of their life. That still doesn't mean they couldn't make a decent game.

bethesda shills deserve death

>>719733356
>while the parasites behind NuPrey swore that they were "forced" to use the name.
Indeed, I wonder if part of the reason Bethesda gave them the boot, was because Arkane tried to shift the blame about the Prey situation.

>>719737752
>That still doesn't mean they couldn't make a decent game.
Their track record proves otherwise.

>>719737873
Actually it doesn't because they made Prey 2006 which blows nuPrey out of the water. Also, kill yourself.

>>719737501
Only a Bethshill would celebrate that, because as far as I remember, Arkane was also sacrificed by Zenimax and Xbox.

>>719737885
I didnt remember this being a doom 3 prequel huh

>>719737885
That's the one I played, you can't buy it these days.

>>719738031
yeah it's actually feels pretty similar

>>719737873
Up to 2012 they had a good standing, and that was in the timeframe that Prey2 was supposed to be in production if the IP hadn't been given to Zenimax and they were shipped off to work on slop.

>>719738031
>>719738148
That’s because it runs on the doom 3 engine

>>719738243
I think I like the doom 3 engine

>>719737995
Not everyone who thinks your game looks derivative is your schizo boogeyman, fucking hell.

>>719738309
Hell is where you're going when you kill yourself.

Reminder that there’s a modded VR version of the original prey came out not that long ago and it’s fun.

>Ive lived long enough to see people shit on prey2 just to own someone
what a time to be alive

>>719739104
>Why couldn't we have gotten both?
Because HHS probably didn't agree to get completely acquired by Bethesda and be stuck making the same kind of garbage Arkane did.

If they had done so, we probably would've got a watered down Prey 2, and NuPrey with a different name.

>>719738661

No, you lived long enough for the actual truth of the game's development come out, once it became clear that the studio making it is just incompetent.

>>719739431
Speaking of people who have lived long enough: kill yourself.

>>719732758 (OP)
This is one of the greatest tragedies in gaming, up there with the likes of SW Battlefront 3 and that vertical slice of Cyberpunk.

>>719739574
Not really, those were actual playable games.

I still have the coming soon pamphlet of prey 2 that came with a Beth game I have. I forgot which one it was.

>>719739271
Or it could be that people are tired of retards with a persecution complex claiming that a studio used an incredibly generic title just to spite the legacy of a game, its unreleased sequel, and its fans.

It's natural, acceptable, and even encouraged to be hostile towards shills and other paid agitators.

"What happened to Prey 2, from where I sat, was political. And petty," says ex-Human Head narrative designer and writer.

Jason Blair, an ex-Human Head employee, recently spoke out on his Prey 2 and had given the project to Dishonored developers Arkane to complete. "This Prey 2/Arkane rumor is giving new life to a lot of old lies," the writer said, "I'm been quiet about this whole business but can't stay so anymore."

Blair was the narrative designer and writer on the Prey 2 project for the last six months of its development, and he claims that the game was much more than "just a demo." "Prey 2 was a full game. And a crazy fun one," he said, adding "What happened to Prey 2, from where I sat, was political. And petty."

But while Blair "mourns that Prey 2 won't belong to Human Head," he is willing to admit talent in Arkane. "As for Arkane, I've enjoyed what I played of Dishonored. They have the chops. If the rumor is true, they'll likely do well with Prey 2."

Prey 2 was to be the sequel to 2006's Prey, which was also developed by Human Head but published under the now defunct 3D Realms. Human Head set to work on an ambitious sequel, which would have the main character travel to the homeworld of Prey's alien race and become a sort of bounty hunter. Unfortunately, they soon butted heads with new publisher Bethesda, which ended with the project being trapped in limbo

Arkane is going under in less than 5 years.

>>719740964
You will not be God's son if you keep talking to his children and your siblings like that.

>>719741169
>Prey 2 and had given the project to Dishonored developers Arkane to complete.

Damn wtf

>>719741204
Oh really because I spoke to God and he told me to tell you to kill yourself.

>>719741171
arkane is already dead, all of the talent left years ago

>>719741384
And I spoke to God and he told me to tell you that you are not aligned with His will. He also told me that he's going to make you reincarnate in India to teach you a lesson.

What exactly is the problem here? I think we can all agree that the following should have happened..

>Prey 2 finished development under Human Head and was released
>Prey 2017 should have had a different name on release
>Bethesda is gay

>>719741538
Agreed.

I'm confused. Is this game good or not?

>>719741689
Original prey? Yes. Prey 2017? Yes. Prey 2? We’ll never know.

>>719741689
Probably not, given all their other games.

>>719741781

Yeah, probably.

>>719741689
Unfortunately we'll never know, anon

I just want something like Prey 2 or Bernband. I can only hope Bernband actually gets finished some day...

>>719739246

That's not the point, Prey 2017 (not 18) is a great game, but it would be nice if Prey 2 came out and Arkane's game came out with a proper name. But some psycho from zenimax thinks that would be forgotten kek

>>719742936
It says the team was 40 people, at most.
40 people, no matter how shit or good do not influence a modern AAA project. You cannot disprove this.

>>719742651
I believe that games should see the light of day, good or bad. This kind of attitude ends up being marked, the community doesn't forgive.

Despite being dissolved by MS, Zenimax is still not dead enough.

I liked prey because it captured that Art Bell midnight in the desert vibe with Native American shamans, UFOs and shit.

>>719732758 (OP)

>>719743182

I think even john karmak hates them with all his heart.

>>719734845
Free Radical was done in by their own inexperience/stupidity tbf.
First off, Free Radical only existed to make Second Sight, even before TimeSplitters branched off from it, that was their original product.

What happened was they burned bridges with Eidos unnecessarily and it cost them later when the Lucas Arts BFIII contract fell through, their other project that eventually turned into Haze fell through multiple times and then failed cause Haze sucked, all after having to fight to find a publisher for it and then they had no other publishers to fall back on for the new TimeSplitters as their last ditch attempt to save the company. They bit off more than they could stomach and were swimming naked.

Sucks because TimeSplitters was awesome and even Second Sight was great in retrospect.

>>719743590
I think they're going to remain under Microsoft's wings until the end of time, for good and ill.

I don't know tencent/netease market analyist. Ask ChatGPT. I'm not doing your job for you.

>>719743798
>unnecessarily
You never know what's happening behind the scenes, remember Core Design? They got absorbed by Edios, and their entire staff left after Edios shafted them on Tomb Raider, made their own studio, and then they couldn't get funding anywhere and got reabsorbed into Edios and made shovelware until they died. Timesplitters was probably on the verge of the same kind of fate, getting rebadged with a new team because Free Radical complained too much about the retarded changes Edios was requesting on TS3.

If they enjoyed prey 1, why would they be excited for 2 which would have played completely differently?

>>719741986
I think it was Neuro-Shock.
And literally just got the kibosh because the publisher owned the name and some dipshit marketing goon thought making it a "sequel" to a "recognized product" would help it sell more, (and then proceed to do a shit job on the marketing making sure it wasn't going to sell).
And its just such an awful title, its generic and bland, and the only way you can make the title apply to the game is by using some real mental gymnastics that only sort of makes sense in hindsight and trying to fit the square peg in the round hole.

>>719747286
it looks like scripted setpiece slop anon
i've played this game before
you press a button and your character does all of the shit for you

>>719748179
>crushing a shit dev
they should nuke themselves if that's true.

This demo probably took them fucking forever to make, and it's just setpiece galore.
The target will always run the same routes, and some targets probably would run the same routes themselves.
If this even released it probably would have been very middling.
It shouldn't have gotten cancelled that's for sure, when bethesda published fucking ROGUE WARRIOR and Wet, and fucking Brink.
Like imagine if Brink was cancelled and gameplay leaked now we'd have threads just like this for it crying "WE WERE ROBBED"

>>719737465
Because when you keep making financial disasters, the smart move is to not try to hire MORE people who you need to spend MORE money on. Contract work until you've built back up reserve capital is what literally every B studio worth a shit has done since the 80s. Ninja Theory got to keep putting out dogshit because they lent out their mocap studio to British films for a fee and now they've got Microsoft money. Human Head was full of retards, the only reason Bethesda even gave them the time of day is because they like exploiting retard studios as much as they like exploiting their retard playerbase.

>>719746806
>Nobody has heard of those games
So just like Prey 2.

>>719747725
>enemies would always run to the exact same locations every fight
>>719748368
>The target will always run the same routes, and some targets probably would run the same routes themselves.

there is literally nothing wrong with this. you are supposed to play this bounty exactly ONCE. who the fuck cares if a repeat would play the same? not every game needs to be meant to be played more than once. it's okay if a game is meant to be played once and then you play the multiplayer or wait for a sequel or DLC.

>>719748687

I think it's two separate Human Head employees at this point. One pointing out shit was fucked, the other having a meltdown telling people to kill themselves for daring to point out it's impossible for 40+ human beings to somehow not have any agency whatsoever.

>>719748951
I don't think OP is a human head employee just because most of them got let go and fucked over by the studio. If anything there'd be a lot more disgruntled ex devs out there.

>>719748667
I mean you will get a different target that runs the same routes, probably even just reuses the animation too with a different model.

Faggots constantly feeling the need to drag down Prey 2017 because they’re salty about this tech demo getting cancelled really makes me not give a fuck about it and glad the fags who like it are suffering. Prey 2017 is a genuinely fantastic video game that was forced by Zenimax and Bethesda to use the name.

>>719749534
That's from Todd's power to control retards, same way he gets people to buy new releases of Skyrim. Turns out that works really well when it's an entire studio full of retards.

>>719733863
You’re not supposed to be a tank out the gate. Your best course of action is to sleuth around enemies until you’ve gained the strength to confront them.

>>719749590
I love how you keep calling it "Prey 2017" over and over in your shill posts. It would probably be easier to shill your garbage game if you switched it up occasionally, bud.

>>719733863
You aren’t thinking creatively enough.

>>719749590
>Prey 2017 is a genuinely fantastic video game that was forced by Zenimax and Bethesda to use the name.
I like Arkane's Prey but all signs indicate this was a lie, their pitch document that was leaked showed they were using the Prey 2 name from the outset. Never trust French people, they lie as much as Todd.
This also isn't some black and white "There's a good side and a bad side" situation, everyone in this saga is either malicious, an asshole, incredibly stupid, or some mix the three.

>>719749662
>Turns out that works really well when it's an entire studio full of retards
Guess Human Head was a good fit then.

>>719749590

This is the first slide of their leaked pitch doc: >>719735479 which was first leaked here: https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/719672958/#719680482
Additionally, plenty of leaks and admissions from Arkane that just before their version of Prey's development they were all hands were primarily on deck with a Half-Life 2 spin-off called Ravenholm only to suddenly 360 with being "tapped in" for Prey (with leaks of this coming out years in advance including multiple email leaks similarly verifying it was always going to be called Prey, see here https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/312827628/#312828546 ).

Like I said, there's no innocent dindu nuffin side in this story. Everyone was either malicious (Bethesda), an asshole (Arkane), or just plain fucking stupid (Human Head).

>>719747670
The dumbest part of this is *shock would both satisfy the "attached to a known brand" issue AND fit better with the story and gameplay. MBAs ruin everything.

>>719750460
And right after posting that I actually found a clear pic of that email leak. It even directly references the pitch document, specifically the "Spiritual Successor to System Shock 2" slide.

just because the trailers looked cool doesn't mean the actual game was going to be good. Usually there's a reason games get cancelled.

The original prey is incredibly overrated anyways, I would know I bought it and played it when it came out and haven't ever replayed it again or ever wanted to.

>>719750436

This looks like a rough prototype, like something you'd see in a NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN thread.

>>719750556
>that email
Just how deep the rabbit hole goes?

>>719750613
Question do you think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj56okQaxZI
this

was also a finished game

>>719746894
We're in the wrong timeline

>>719750559
Wow that's awfully convenient huh, that every game that ever got cancelled deserved to get cancelled? It's kinda like how the good guys just so happen to win every war.

>>719750613
Wow. Bethesda should be killed.

>>719750768
How is a pitch deck meant to prove anything?

>>719750841
Never heard of it.

>>719750940
I suspect there's a lot of thing you haven't heard of.

>>719750926
Just sharing some neat stuff, no need to get your panties in a bunch.

>>719748687
Human Head faggits seething their shit game got put down like a dog

>>719750989
yes saar never heard of lot of thing saar

>>719750613
The verticality looked great. It also seems like there were multiple ways to enter buildings too. The pistol sounded and looked awesome.

>>719750841
I used to, but one of the devs came out and shared more details on it that made me stop wanting it.

shills aren't human, it's okay to kill them

>>719751354
Zenimax shills are especially subhuman.

>>719751427
I'd like to see them burning alive, their skin melting off their flesh.

>>719749773
>>719750556
it says it all right there "Doing a new IP was not a possibility" they were not allowed to do their own thing from the outset, they were forced to work on an existing zenimax IP

I used to sort of want this game but the people around it are so fucking annoying and deepthroat Prey 1 so hard it turned me off it

>>719751554
Funny, I used to want nuPrey but the people around it are so fucking annoying and deepthroat Arkane/Bethesda so hard it turned me off it.

>>719750559
>Usually there's a reason games get cancelled.
Usually. We can look at the facts here.
It got announced in 2006 (Which was a 3DRealms issue) but Human Head didn't even start development until 2009 (They didn't have any known work in between 06-09, if they did it was either heavily NDA'd or simply undocumented because looking it up gets you nothing). Bethesda didn't pull the plug on them until 2013.
I don't know if it was truly hate for Human Head or more a lust for money, since around the same time they put out the 2011 announcement they were contracting HH to help Splash Damage with Brink and I imagine they weren't dumb enough to do that for free.
Could it have been near done after effectively after that 4 year dev cycle? Absolutely! 4 years is a very normal dev cycle - especially back then when the yearly game release pipeline was in full swing for most of the AAA world. But the fact we didn't get these gameplay/devbuild leaks until a decade after, which is all still demo assets. Besides one screenshot of a cutscene with Tommy leaked a few years prior, there's been no attempt by them to show anything not already revealed. It'd be a slam dunk case to just leak all this shit and go "Yeah Bethesda absolutely screwed us, here's some documents showing it plus some gameplay we didn't get to reveal." CroTeam reused assets from their cancelled Doom game they were working on for Bethesda prior to Serious Sam 3 as well and nothing happened to them so clearly there's no confirmed precedent of any specific behaviors they might engage in with personally made assets.
That said, that doesn't exonerate Bethesda either, they chose to maintain opacity over this for no good reason so clearly they weren't up to any good either.
I think it's somewhere in the middle, Bethesda were being typical corporate jew demons demanding more with less, and Human Head reciprocated because you can take the dev out of the 3DRealms but you can't take the 3DRealms out of the dev.

>>719750768
just link this you dumb retarded faggots
https://archive.thedatadungeon.com/prey_2_cancelled/documents/pitches/

>>719751554
I don't even get it. It's not even a particularly revolutionary game, either one. It just looks like a mid mid-2000s game.

>>719750556
Based Raph killing shitty tech demos

>>719751761
People saw a game they wanted, it got cancelled in favor of dogshit. What do you not understand?

>>719751551
Do you think Prey was the only available IP Bethesda had available to reference? Bethesda has multiple unused sci-fi IPs that would've fit just as well as Prey, like Istvan Pely's works (Symbiocom, Zero Critical) or Damocles.

>>719751931
>it got cancelled in favor of dogshit
but the turd Prey 2 got cancelled?

>>719751931
This isn't disappointment, it goes into straight up derangement.

Like I'm upset over Megas XLR never get a proper DVD release or a third season, but I've seen these threads being made for fucking years with a seethe that's on the level of them killing your wife or something.

>>719752010
Oh, you weren't asking honestly. My mistake.

>>719751936
Prey fits better

>>719750556
You've never had to write an internal memo, have you?

>>719751931
>a game they wanted
Yet another cover shooter with regenerating health, a pitifully low sprint speed, a limited arsenal, and an obnoxious amount of blue and bloom? There were a solid 20 other games like that that released every fucking year from Prey 2's announcement to cancellation.

>>719752054
I honestly think Prey is a shitty Doom 3 clone and that Prey 2 looked like shit yes

>>719732758 (OP)
There was no game, it was just a vertical slice tech demo. It was still too early in development to be even considered to be a "masterpiece". The premise is cool but in reality, there's probably a reason it got canned.

>>719734960
Cope, Prey reboot sold like shit and sucks ass

>>719752114
It looks like an asset flip. Like it looks like the Horizon Zero Dawn prototype, not a full game.

>>719752081
How? It's as detached as any of those IPs would be. They chose it pretty arbitrarily.

>>719752050
Eh, so what? Everybody has to stop talking about something because you personally don't care about it?

>>719752081
No it doesn't, kill yourself.

>>719752202
Chanting "kill yourself" to anyone who doesn't hold a 100% agreeable opinion with you isn't exactly talking about something, it's just yet another in a staccato of mental breakdowns over a video game that probably would've been a 7/10 at best.

>>719752114
I'm sorry you don't like it :(

>>719750613
That looks extremely unfinished, not even a vertical slice but like a proof of concept at best
>most of the UI is just a text field
>heavy motion blur
>generic tileset pieces
>most of the effects look like default effects included with the toolkit
>no real polish on anything, even for a game developed during that time period

>>719735612
No one cares about Tranny Shock faggot which is why it sold like shit.

>>719752334
How's that my problem?

>>719752360

>>719751451

>>719752382
No one cares about Doom 3 with portals

>>719752202
The thing is you never stop talking about it. It's older than the average poster here. Not even the PT people are like this. You're not upset at this point, you're obsessed.

>>719752438
I do

>>719752348
>No you see YOU'RE the angry one, but me telling people to kill themselves almost 30 times now because they didn't agree with me is completely normal!

>>719752472
>you never stop talking about it
Oh, we're doing the schizo thing huh?

>>719752472
>Not even the PT people are like this.
they should be, PT at least would have been interesting unlike this shooter

>>719752502
I’m not even the same anon retard

>>719752516
He's doing the schizo thing.

>>719751936
No, I think it's the only relevant one they had because of the prey 2 hype and it was a valid path for ralph to get what he wanted, which was making another immersive sim, it's pretty clear he didn't want to have any connection to prey or prey 2 beyond appeasing suits to get his game made, considering it has literally nothing in common with the original prey or its sequel

>>719752502
That was me that told you to kill yourself, not him. And it was more than 30 times. Here's another one:

Kill yourself.

>>719752585
What a normal behavior. Post a recording of you reading off your posts in this thread to your immediate family, they're so normal the reaction should be reasonable.

>>719752583
>prey 2 hype
lol

>>719752472
I would understand being more upset about Rune 2 being the most derivative slop game possible, but I don't think many of these posters were old enough to remember Rune 1.

>>719752619
Please post a recording of you killing yourself.

>>719752619
>What a normal behavior
Sir I...

>>719752583
I don't think I've ever seen anyone hyped for Prey 2 outside of the echo chamber you're trying to make these threads into.

>>719752729
I was hyped for it

>>719752729
I was hyped for it as well.

>>719752771
You're not very smart, are you?

>>719752672
I will if you do what I suggested. I promise it, swear on it even. If you post a recording of you reading off your posts in this thread to your immediate family, I will livestream my suicide. I promise.

>>719752619
>Shill being told to kill himself
Sounds normal to me.

>>719752729
i was so many hype for it i even builded a new pc to play it in 2011

>>719752729
Here’s a random thread I found on a forum

>>719749178
that's nonsense. these bounties are scripted so heavily because they were going to be part of a linear progression of bounties all of which you get to do exactly once.
>wouldn't this scripted quest in a game suck if it had to be done over and over
can by applied to any game. yeah, IF the content was repeated it would suck. but there's no indication that they ever planned on reusing any of it.

>>719752837
No, you'll kill yourself regardless. All shills eventually realize they're less than human and end themselves for the good of all.

>>719752645
Given that they were trying to still get it released even when they became Roundhouse Studio, it'd be funny if it finally did see the light of day and, predictably, it was total shit.

>umm sweaty I'm really concerned about your health
why do shills do this?

Microsoft should have put everyone working for Zenimax to death, including BGS.

>>719752967
Then the schizos in this thread would just bitch about how the mean old publisher made the finished game not reach its true potential.

>>719753061
It’s projection anon

>>719732758 (OP)
looks like whatever, its loss will not be remembered.

>>719753174
But it’s 13 years later and we’re still discussing it.

>>719752729
ok zoomer faggot listen here, I'm not in support of human head, I think they were mediocre developers and prey 2 would've been forgettable at best but there was considerably more interest for prey 2 at the time than whatever the fuck the anon i was replying to was suggesting they use for an IP as an alternative

>>719753230

It seems like you're screaming at anyone that points out it's probably not going to be that good and was never actually that good.

>>719753260

>>719753256

Only if you post the recording. Otherwise I'll keep taunting you, even when the thread 404s I'll knock on your windows and I'll knock on your doors and I'll remind you in all the voicemails you keep ignoring. There's no getting rid of me otherwise :)

Somehow even obsidian shills aren't that deranged.

Good, make some more posts like that.

>>719753496
The obsidian shills chopped their own testicles off.

>>719753496
Ohoho, got some PTSD from getting your shit rocked in a New Vegas thread, shill?

>>719753496
Obsidian fans finally realized that Obsidian wasn't that great of a studio.

>>719732758 (OP)
Honestly? I can't decide whose right and whose wrong, 2 looks surely great occasionally but also looks like average 2010s cover and shoot slop and Prey 2017 was great at some moments but variation of weapons and monsters are too poor, 'underqualified' to be masterpiece of immersive sim
I can't decide.

>>719753776
he's going to post the chad fallout 3 meme

>>719753697
Man that reminds me, I'd be more mad about how much Bloodlines 2 got fucked up. And how much Bloodlines got fucked up. And those were actually good games.

>>719753828
lol that's the first thing I thought of

>>719753806
Go with your guts.

>>719753693
No, I'm talking about Tyranny, Pillars, Avowed, Outer Worlds, all being 6/10 at best.

>>719753859
Bloodlines 2 never had anything good to show.

>>719753946
Never played 'em. New Vegas rules! 3 sucks. 4 sucks. 76 sucks.

>>719753950
It could have had something if Troika was allowed to make it.

>>719753859
Even though Bloodlines got fucked up it still had so much soul! And Troika's previous game, Arcanum, is a TERRIBLE video game, but still one of my absolute favourite CRPGs.

>>719754016
Perhaps.

>>719754071
>Arcanum, is a TERRIBLE video game
It's better implementation of the systems in Fallout 1 and 2 while having way more fun things to play with.

>>719754160
Unpatched, it sucks to play. My original copy had masses of visual bugs and the rules governing the AI would completely freeze on a regular basis.

>>719733356
I can't even tell how it's an actual sequel. Wasn't the original about a normal Earth man being abducted? Prey 2 looks like Cyberpunk Star Wars

>>719754291
That's just standard for any Troika game.

Arkane is unable to make an original game, all their games except Dishonored are literal clones of other games

This game was probably complete shit. Publishers WANT to release games, it's the only way they can recoup their money. For 99% of games to get cancelled they have to be absolute dogshit or just totally busted on a technical level.

>>719757893
wrong. just releasing games is not the priority of publishers. they want to put their resources where the BIG returns are likely to be found, and the assessment where they are found changes weekly among the suits who don't play games. on a whim all singleplayer titles can be canceled, which is typical of the era Prey 2 was canceled in. or more recently snoy greenlights 50 different live service projects, then cancels 40 of them a couple years later. if publishers had some aversion to canceling projects, even projects far along in development, it wouldn't constantly happen.

>>719750768
kek

>>719758121
0.45 ROI > 0 ROI. While you can declare it a loss on taxes, that doesn't necessarily make it worth more than what you could get by releasing it. Consider all the boiling dogshit Bethesda willingly published with their name on it, and then make you wonder what the Hell they could've done right that Prey 2 must've fucked up on that they believe the ROI would not be worth it.

>>719758365
Their return was acquiring a studio.

>>719757893
Yeah sure. Rouge warrior would have never been unleashed upon the world if this argument were true.>>719755991
And we could consider Redfall i suppose. And yes there is some irony with remnants of HH being a support studio on that. But what about Fallout 76?

How bad could have Prey really 2 been? i don't think it's the reality of the situation. It was probably as HH described of being studio politics. Bethesda unleashed Starfield on the world for christ's sake. They threw out their own arguments a long time ago.

>>719758365
Oh yeah it looks sooooo ba- ACK!
>>719751451

>>719758365
you don't understand. they aren't worried about losses. it's a casino. if you "win" with something like WoW, COD, farmville, minecraft, stardew valley or CSGO you make BILLIONS. it won't matter at all whether you let those devs finish their 50 million dollar game by giving them another 15 million dollars and they made back 30 so you were only down 35 million instead of the whole 50. it just does not matter at all. if you're convinced that the game isn't a WINNER you can write it off as a loss instantly and every penny you have left can be put into the next slot machine NOW. that's how publishers think. some bigwig probably heard the devs saying they wouldn't do tacked on multiplayer, his blood pressure rose and he made a phone call to some underling who made a phone call to some underling and so on for a dozen stations until finally the last guy in the chain told the devs their game was canceled a month ago.

What a clusterfuck of total morons this thread was.
We have RPG nerds attacking Prey 2 because they thought a shitty system shock clone with survival crafting mechanics was good because RPG Codex are retarded posers and won't admit it was just modern slop.

We have Todd Howard tards defending the honor of his company as per usual. You know the ones with absolutely no taste and think Fallout 3 was good, those people. And put the chad image in front of all Bethslop.

I just wanted a space bounty hunter game because it was actually original. How hard is that to understand?

You don't even know the size of the game. It didn't exactly look fay cry scale. The developers in the interviews practically never wanted a make big deal that it was open world. So in other words it's open world was small and more tighter design in all likelihood. Why do you associate ANYTHING that is open world as bad? when it's not always the case if the scope is smaller.

Similar to how HH rode off Prey for about the same amount of time, yeah

I'm mad that Colantonio permanently associated his game with Prey 2006. And then all his fans come out later and say ASCKHULLY no one liked it. Colantonio is one obnoxious motherfucker to think that this was a good idea to accept the name, but his fans are worse.
