Shock thread. Is prey any good? edition

Prey's ok, I found it kind of annoying. Sadly it's nothing like the original prey or like quake.
pretty much just a generic spooky shooter pirate it if you want it

They weren't related? That explains why it wasn't similar or good then.

prey wasn't a popular IP, only people who would care are:
A. internet autists (see: a mirror)
B. humanhead

it was probably a last shot pissing move and to also economize on spending a few thousand on the IP years ago.

So they made an uninspired clone of a game so they can say. this is like an old school game guiz only real gaymers will play it.

WOW

Prey is fun. Bioshit is literally Call of Duty with Bible versus plastered everywhere.

I turned on the laser just to see what would happen. I wasn't disappointed that they allowed you to do that.

I've played both bioshocks. They're alright in their own ways. Far more shooter than rpg, compared to System Shock.
Haven't played Prey, though I feel the deco style looks WAY better in bioshock then what from I glimpsed in Prey due to time periods and not just some arbitrary aesthetic choice. Just doesn't fit, imo.

nuPrey is Bioshock though, complete with shallow absolutely 2deep4u writing and ending.

no they made it cuz they spent like 40k on an ip, didn't get the return they wanted after a failed hostile take over, and figured like fuck it hey arkane you wanna do something with this?

there's old leaked power point slides that talk about how arkane's prey remake will be like a system shock 3.


the game play itself looks pretty decent but there's no way I'd pay for this shit

Not really. You can atleast freely explore most of the space station. Bioshit is just point A to point B.

yeah I think every system shock game except for the first one failed to capitalize on the return to old areas to do new things idea, shock 2 had very little of it with "hey this keycode is for a closet on deck 1" that you'd find on deck 4 or 5 and get a ton of ammo and stuff. system shock 1 is more like a 3d metroid game than anything which explains why the team behind metroid prime had the game turn out so well (considering iguana hired a lot of ex-origin staff in 1998)

I think they partially did it to get points for fulfilling fan interest in a new Prey, giving the impression they really care about "gamers." You know how some fucking idiot faggots will eat it up that never even played the original.
