While I admire their passion for the game and like the rest of us desperately want it to still come out let me just say this... SIGH.
It's an independent site but you can sign a petition to get prey 2 finished. Only 100 sigs so far so get over there and sign it
http://kotaku.com/we-hear-the-people-behind-dishonored-are-now-working-on-510646344 Arkane might have taken over development. (Just a rumor for now, nothing confirmed.) (I guess it follows the same path as the first game which was quite different back in ~1999 - http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/05/prey-beta-1997-version/ and then restarted.)
Bethesda starting over on Prey 2? http://uk.gamespot.com/news/bethesda-starting-over-on-prey-2-6409109
2016? Hmm... I hope they will use the same engine/visual style. E3 2011 GameSpot Stage Demo looks fantastic.
This actually makes me kind of sad. I loved what was shown of what Human Head had created for PREY 2. While definitely different from the first game, it had created an interesting concept in an amazing world... and one I couldn't wait to explore. While I'm not against Arkane Studios. I LOVE DisHonored. I'm a bit bummed they are (rumored) simply restarting and creating a new game from ground up. Specially with the rumors stating they are taking inspiration from System Shock. I love System Shock (and SS2 is one of my all time favorites)... but in no way do I think PREY and System Shock would meld wonderfully. It sounds like a very odd and... in a way, bad choice.
Personally I find dishonest to be extremely bland, just a mix of half life 2 and bioshock 1. Great on their own but mix it together with that boring, over used cartoony look and it just seems so... So boring. All the trailers I've seen so far have been refreshing compared to what's already out, but if this is all scraped or even the fact that someone else is now doing it, we'll then im out.
Ex-Human Head developer accuses Bethesda of lying about Prey 2 Code: http://www.dso(removethis)gaming.com/news/ex-human-head-developer-accuses-bethesda-of-lying-about-prey-2/
Sweet as then. If what this ex-employee says is true, then i wont be buying any more bethesda games. You cant top Human Heads work on prey2, going by the trailers that they've shown so far (imo).
