[QUOTE=usaokay;46374069]It was pretty obvious after the lack of any attention and Bethesda wanting Arkane to finish it for some reason.
Shame too. The trailer and plot was pretty cool even though the theme and tone detracted from the first game by a lot.

Bare in mind the e3 trailer is not indicative of what they were going for recently. They re-drafted the game and wanted to make a more system shock 2 type thing.
Jesus, I remember playing Prey when I was younger.
The opening was the first time I heard Don't Fear the Reaper and I loved it.

Well you could argue they basically ripped off all of TES limbs

It would be a series if Bethesda didn't cancel it, so yes they've killed a series.
To be fair, for a looong time it looked unlikely that the first game would ever be released - it was vapourware for years.
I saw that Prey 2 was trending on twitter, then boom. Hit with the worst news ever.
They could have at least cancelled it for when it went into limbo last year so nobody's hopes would've gone up.
[QUOTE=Diet Kane;46374202]The original studio actually had a pretty functional game, and it was nearly finished before Bethesda canned it.[/QUOTE]
That makes it all the more sad. All that time and effort flushed down the toilet.

Yeah, this has been one of the games I was most looking forward to. Not going to see anything like it now.
I think even though we were all hoping that the game was being developed in top-secret, we all knew that it was just going to get canned eventually.
Unlike HalfLife 3 of course... can't wait to play that.
[QUOTE=usaokay;46377197]If that's truth, then that's a real damn shame. I wanted a space western game.[/QUOTE]
Their base mechanics for the first iteration were decent but they just couldn't seem to come up with good environments and things to make the pace palpable. They felt like they had lost some of the horror charm that the first game had as well as the whole never-ending sequence of bizarre shit.
I seen this coming the first Prey game while a good game wasn't that hugely popular even when it first came out.
