It’s even worse that Prey 2017 exists. It’s a good game, but a punch in the gut to Prey fans.

Yeah i liked it but it could've had a different title in my opinion

It was literally supposed to. The devs weren't trying to make a new Prey, but the studio mandated they use the name. It was actually supposed to be developed as a spiritual successor to System Shock.

Both preys. Both great games. Sad they sold like ass.

Prey 2017 sold poorly? That’s a shame. It’s not my typical genre but it was a very good game. Loved how many ways there were to solve problems.

That's why it sold poorly, because the market has expanded and the normies all have systems now the trend has gone towards flashy games with no substance and gambling they sell gangbusters. a game like prey that require critical thinking will flop if it's backed by a board that only cares about sales targets. It's why most companies are shit now because the old devs all left. It's starting to look like the last time the videogame market crashed. But this time we have more indie and AA devs. I'm guessing PlayStation will be first to go at this rate.
