Andrew Borman has shared a video, showing one minute of gameplay footage from Human Head Studios’ cancelled version of Prey 2. This prototype version will obviously never see the light of day so it’s pretty cool that we are at least getting some videos from it.
Seems like a good day to post a short video I was sent from @humanheadgames cancelled Prey 2. Still look forward to the day that I have more to share. #prototypes #prey2 pic.twitter.com/3Fl0lB4puN

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 which would play a large part of the game. 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.

More than happy with the one we got thanks.
So am i, but i still want this, i mean its so different from most open world games that come out
Bethesda: “Dont worry we are working on a sci fi open world game called starfield”
YOU STAND WHERE I CAN SEE YOU AND DO NOTHING BETHESDA, EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH TURNS INTO TRASH.
“YOU STAND WHERE I CAN SEE YOU AND DO NOTHING BETHESDA, EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH TURNS INTO TRASH.”
I laughed at that one. Well done sir.
Well look at fallout 4, just look at it, i dont think anything bethesda makes anymore can be interesting or improved from their previous overhyped trash.
it is less generic than most games that come out these days.
you can free run, you got shoulder mounted rockects with lock on, you can threaten npcs to get information or snipe them, you can arrest gang members or kill them, which affects your faction standing and they put hits on you, there are 3 different ares on the planet, completely different even in terms of gameplay, Bounties will try and bribe you to leave em alone. There are big enemies that are slow and you can slide and under cover to evade them or use a jetpack to get on high cover. You can take enemies as human shields, you got various stun grenades and other gadgets to crowd control.
Its not generic.
Well we are talking about a game that got cancelled. There is more footage outhere. We are not talking about a game that will release.
“Definitely more generic than the new Prey,”
Id like to debate this. Prey is focusing alot on stealth like most games and on upgrades. Prey has a karma system like alot of games. It has sidequests like alot of games. The weapons of prey are generic apart from the glue gun. Its not like you use weird weapons or have jetpacks or you are able to explore a planet. You can however go outside the space station which is impressive.
So yeah i wouldnt say there is a day night difference in terms of who generic one game is or the other one. I had my system shock fill with prey and its goty of last year but i still would rather have this than shadow of war, far cry 5, assasin creed and all the other been there done that 100 times trash that come out.
Well, you can slide, use jetpacks, wrist mounted rocket, electric bolas, you run on trains and chase bounties.
I wouldnt call it generic. Oh well we will never get it. Still better than any fps that has released the last 2 years apart from prey ofcourse.
unfortunately true. it was clearly embracing lots of bad console trends. and yet, I’d argue it had more potential to be an overall worthwhile game than the recent “PreyShock”.
I rather liked the new doom..sure they killed dooms older brother, but I like doom better anyway.
New doom is awesome, wolfenstein 2 though…pfft. But its ok we got dusk, amid evil and ion maiden.
hows it feel to be a pleb, and to have bad taste?
Pretty good thanks as I got many hours of entertainment from it. Unlike you I’m not a miserable git that feels the needs to insult people just because I cannot comprehend how others can have a different opinion to my own.
At least try and grow up John.
“cannot comprehend how others can have a different opinion to my own.”
its not that you have a different opinion than mine, its that your “opinion” is wrong and completely based on a lack of education in video game knowledge. sorry matthew, you need to stop being a little sheep and play more than whatever (((AAA))) title is pooped on your plate kiddo.
That is the most conceited and stupidest comment I have ever read on here, I seriously pity you.
ITS OKAY! Maybe you will get laid one day and read a few books/play good video games and not be a mainstream sheep. but if not, its also okay the world needs plebs and the uneducated to work at mcdonalds and plumb my toilet.
*edit* p.s i bet your poor
I’m glad i’ve got the play Prey it was a good game but man this one looked fun too! Had a Doom vibe to it.
Sad we can’t get both 🙁
I know right? Gotta question the industry’s ethics. The way Bethesda saw no issue in killing off what was to be an epic franchise is disheartening. The petitions and the hype did nothing for them due to their hostility towards the developer. It would certainly rub me the wrong way if their upcoming Sci-Fi game ends up stealing a lot of ideas from Prey 2. If that ends up being the case then just like the new Prey they won’t be getting any cash from me.
“It would certainly rub me the wrong way if their upcoming Sci-Fi game ends up stealing a lot of ideas from Prey 2. I”
I disagree with that. Bethesda sucks, they cant make anything other than elder of scrolls. They learned NOTHING from new vegas, eveything that was good about fallout 4 was ripped off from other games like the whole minecraft building and weapon customization. I WISH they steal ideas from prey 2 so they can make a decent godamn game.
ALSO you might want to google prey 2 ending, they really did have a great idea for a story.
I haven’t exactly played some of the latest from Bethesda but they seem like a hit and miss dev to me. Doom looks really good, will play it at some point. But I was instantly disappointed about how familiar FO4 seemed back at the E3 reveal. Graphically they didn’t really give it their all either. Sure I don’t care if they end up making some kind of fast paced Sci-Fi shooter (we kinda got one already, it’s Doom) but if it ends up mimicking all the things that made Prey 2 stand out it’d be hard to separate this new IP from the old. When I play games I don’t wanna have to be reminded that this was going to be something else entirely. It’s why I can’t bring myself into playing the rebooted Prey, it just isn’t Prey to me.
And yes I do remember looking this up, really interesting plot but it kinda does seem reminiscent of Duncan Jone’s Moon. But I’m sure they were gonna do something clever with it as they did with the first game’s basic plot of alien abduction. It’s a relief to know that Tommy was bound to make a major appearance and play an intricate part to the whole plot. But also a pain since we’ll never get to see it in action. Kinda like we may not see another Half-Life game since the original writer decided to share the synopsis of what was to be Episode 3.
Salt, meet my open wounds…
Played prey for 20 minutes and couldn’t get over the fact that they 100% ripped off bioshock, felt like a cheaper version of bioshock and I completely don’t regret getting my money refunded.
Thats called my own personal experience, deal with it.
“Everything (except story) was dumbed down in Bioshock.”
Well bioshock is copying system shock to such a point that even the person who tells you what to do in the radio is infact the bad guy taking over the identity of a dead person.
“has one of the best designed and scariest enemies i’ve encountered in over 20 years of PC gaming.”
I wouldnt call them well designed or scary, like i wouldnt call the weapons satisfying to use, but they are definitely interesting.
is it me or does Prey feel like it lacks weapon variety.
Aside from the soap dispenser none of the weapons look particularly interesting.
Of course it does, no assault rifle no sniper no machinegun and the laser weapon is meh.
They didnt rip bioshock, bioshock ripped of system shock 2 and prey was originally gonna be system shock 3, there are even leaked documents about it, heck if you see any visual similarities with dead space thats because dead space was also gonna be system shock 3.
Something about system shock is not meant to be, even the remaster is put on hold and god knows whats going on with system shock 3 being developed right now. If you gonna argue they ripped off something, then argue they ripped off prophunt.
no sht and then they made biosht infinite. Godamn it game devs.
Prey 1 was not a success maybe this sequel will be better if it is not cancelled.
Not sure where you got that info from. Prey was actually a success and had a reasonable amount of praise from critics and gamers alike. They earned enough sales to grant themselves a sequel which was close to completion in fact. The overall production was 90% complete from what I remember.
He got that info by the fact that the price droped by half really fast.
I wish it is sucesfull though.
y u do dis? 🙁
So the fact this is cancelled means we can have Prey for the Gods 2?
meh… shoot shoot shooty nice lighting..
Doom 3 lighting was top notch till 2011 so i disagree. But having seen lots of gameplay videos for prey 2, it has the rage texture streaming issues.
I would rather have this game than Rune: Ragnarok.
Well, at least they had the decency to let us know beforehand unlike this Star Citizen joker

i dont fully agree with this, atleast they do show us that they are working on the game, they got stuff to show. Unlike cyberpunk that we havent seen jack sht since 2012.
Chris Roberts has almost certainly lost his way and CDPR might have too but I hope not in both cases.
Time will tell.
LOL. As far as i know Cyberpunk is not funded by the community like Star Citizen so why are u even comparing the two i have no idea, since you know they are completly diferent cases
Mate if funding a game by a community is the solution then lets ditch publishers and order the kind of game we want and have devs made it.
Bethesda poopknuckle’d this one. Prey 2 would’ve been incredible but instead we got some bland, uninspired Bioschlock knock-off.
“we got some bland, uninspired Bioschlock knock-off.”
ehmm it was originally gonna be system shock 3 there are leaked documents about it.
it would have been a very bad and uninspired system shock 3
looks better than the meme prey reboot we got
y u do dis? 🙁
Ah man… the first Prey has been on my mind all of yesterday and a bit of today. Was listening to the soundtrack a bit just a few mins ago. Never been so bummed over a game’s cancellation. I truly think the first game was underrated as heck. The voice acting is great, soundtrack is phenomenal and the gameplay is certainly unique. It was really trying to be it’s own thing unlike the so called “reboot” we now have.
Such a shame we won’t be able to continue Tommy’s adventure. Found the whole Native American theme in that game to stand out the most, especially for its time. Prey 2 looked amazing in its own right (looks more exciting and fun than the current Prey for sure) but I was always worried about how generic the main protagonist seemed. I mean we knew nothing about him so I can’t say much. Lol still looks more impressive than most games today, gameplay wise and graphically… Ugh, praying for a spiritual successor one day or at least for Human Head Studios to reclaim the IP and name it something else going forward.
Would be so cool to play as Tommy again and hear his humorous commentary towards every freakish thing that comes in his way. Clearly I’m a huge fan of the whole universe in case nobody can tell haha.
Again google prey 2 ending.

Thought I’d share another interesting documentary for others to see. GVMERS make some really solid content, some of the best I’ve seen on Youtube.
and hes so underrated for the damn good work he does.
Indeed, he has the voice for it. The whole format feels like a TV production to me. Although he’s just the narrator. Other people do the editing and the script for each episode.
He or they deserve more atention
