PeeKnuckle Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A. Fucking. Men. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/06/19/bethesda-prey-2-simply-not-good-enough.aspx Now go back to what made Prey, probably one of the best underrated games in the last few decades, great. Knock off this lame bounty hunter shit. Continue the story from the first game! Give us Tommy, give us crazy portals and give us living ammunition. Have him talking to himself, have him go into spirit mode and for all that is holy, bring back Talon. No one, and I mean no one, wanted a bounty hunter Prey game. We wanted the sequel that the first game promised at it's end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevnvek Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I don't see why they can't just rename it and still release it with all of the money and time they've put into it. The main problem people had with it is it doesn't really see like Prey at all. They may have been able to recoup some of their losses. Then again, they may have made this decision while the game was still a ways from completion, and even if they released it, it would look bad on the publisher if the game wasn't looking that great even on its own merit.

MrsBadExample Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 It may have just been a terrible game, period - not just for the plot / concept. If it's not up to their standards, there could have been a ton more flaws with it that they don't want associated with them (level design, character design, bugs ahoy, lazy rendering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeKnuckle Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 They also have published some real stinkers lately, and I think they're trying to not put out many/any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectordream Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have never played any games in the series but Its good to see them pushing for a higher standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBadExample Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Game companies need to realize shitting out games isn't exactly the best protocol. We'd much rather wait for a later release date and have a finished product than this half-assed crap just so they can finish by launch.

We'd much rather wait for a later release date and have a finished product than this half-assed crap just so they can finish by launch. COUGHCOUGHSIMCITYCOUGH Deadlines ruin games. Now I know this is not completely universal, but usually games that have longer development times come out much better for it (provided they're actually being worked on, Duke Nukem Forever kept being tossed around by different companies). It depends on the scale and ambition of the game, too. Some smaller indie games don't need huge development cycles, while I think a game like Mass Effect 3 would have been much better with another six months to a year of development so it didn't have to have a deus ex machina (lazy writing tool) for an ending. EA is a huge offender. They buy up developers, rush them, and eventually destroy them, like Pandemic. Look at the difference between pre- and post-EA Bioware. Huge, amazing, lovingly crafted games like Baldur's Gate 2, then admittedly higher budget but much more linear games like Dragon Age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dateranoth Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Only thing to say here is good. I'm glad they aren't going to soil the Prey name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kira Onime Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Assassin's Creed is the next Madden. Look next year for Assassin's Creed 2014: The 60's. I'd be perfectly fine if each AC had an extra year+ inbetween releases but at the same time, had a longer single player campaign. Just about any AC game can be finished in less than a week.
