It looks like David Halsted, a former developer at Human Head Studios, has shared some videos from the canceled version of Prey 2. The first three videos are just early prototypes and don’t show much. But the other two are the ones that will really interest Prey fans.
So, below you can find these two videos. The first one shows the game’s prologue. The second shows 9 minutes of gameplay footage from the game’s latest build.
As you will see, this build had a lot of trouble running. From what we can see, it was running between 20-30FPS. My guess is that we’re looking at the PC build. After all, that performance overlay is similar to what we have in Doom 3. This makes a lot of sense, as Prey was using a heavily modified id Tech 4 Engine.
This cancelled version of Prey 2 was meant to be a first-person shooter set in an open alien world called Exodus. Players would assume the role of a bounty hunter and would have over 20 gadgets with over 40 upgrades for those gadgets. The player would use a variety of Earthly and alien weapons to kill and capture his targets.
Prey 2 would also feature agile combat. Players would be able to jump, climb, and hover with rocket boots to traverse large alien cities. The game would have a morality system in which the player would choose how to act in the world.
It’s really a shame we didn’t get to play this game as it had a lot of potential. It didn’t feel like a sequel to Prey, but it looked like a cool game. Which brings me to the Prey reboot. Similar to Prey 2, Prey 2017 is a great game. However, it did not sell well. A lot of Prey fans claimed that it did not feel like a Prey game. Which begs the question. Would Human Head’s Prey 2 be a commercial flop for the exact same reason?
Anyway, enjoy the videos!
