Thread: Which Prey is the best Prey?

Here's the fun part: Microsoft owns Bethesda who bought id Software. And now Microsoft owns Activision who bought Raven Software.
It's entirely possible for Raven and id to collaborate once again, though whether anything will come of that, I don't know. Both id and Raven are very different studios with different people these days.

Prey! It's been over a decade and it's still my favorite FPS. Such an insane game. Still waiting on that sequel. Bethesda needs to let Roundhouse polish it up and drop it on Steam. Someone's at least gotta leak it.

It might actually be up there as my favorite but it is such a damn shame it never received that bounty hunter sequel or become a franchise in its own right.
It would take a literal miracle, but I wish they could just say screw it and do a sequel and forget about the reboot. That's very unlikely to happen especially since that would cause confusion.

Fuck Bethesda for causing that confusion in the first place, though I got the last laugh as the initial confusion was what caused not-Prey to flop in sales in the first place.

Yeah it would be nice if they would treat the reboot Prey like DmC and just go back to the original and do the sequel. Maybe this time with modern assets but with the same bounty hunter on a city planet type of game.

I know. We'll see what Microsoft does now. Phil Spencer did mention he would like to bring some old IPs back with the Activision deal. Maybe bringing back Prey 2 would be on the table.
I played the original on acid. It was immersive to say the least.
The more modern Prey was alright I guess, a bit annoying.

2017.
Fuck Bethesda for killing any hope of success for this masterpiece by naming it after a dead IP.

Got to the bottom of the first page, increasingly skipping posts as they became a blur of @Explosive Zombie and @gameragodzilla's walls of text and thought surely there can't be four pages of this shit.
But there are, you autistic fucks.

I like the ideas of 2017 but didn't love it. I finished it but nothing stood out to me. But I did play on console which I hear is bad and 60 fps really makes the game feel better. Maybe I will give it a go on PC one of these days.
Prey 07 is far more up my alley. Still a very unique shooter to this day.

I played on PC and nothing interesting stood out to me either, hence why I find it mediocrity incarnate. Worldbuilding and immersion are very important in, well, an "immersive sim".

Immersive sims hardly stick with me. I am not sure what part of my brain it doesn't trigger but only Thief and Hitman have ever really stuck. Might be an Arkane thing though as I never liked dishonored as well.

I don't even really consider Thief or Hitman "immersive sims". They lack the truly multiple playstyles that the genre is based on. Both those games are primarily based on stealth, so they're just stealth games.
And yeah, Dishonored wasn't great primarily because the stealth gameplay was so absurdly, incredibly basic. The lighting based stealth of Thief or the social stealth of Hitman add a lot more to the game than just the basic line of sight stealth Dishonored has.
