Prey 2... Cancelled?!

  • March 23, 2012 8:47 PM EDT

    Well, I was just looking at my IGoogle page and look what I found

    Prey 2 reportedly canceled

    Nooooooooooooo!

    That SUCKS! I was so excited for that game. A first person Bethesda shooter with futuristic open-world! And now it seems they have cancelled it. It doesn't seem to be completely known if it has but it sounds like it is. That really sucks, one thing though I don't get is that they had a gameplay demo of it, the had convincing and cool gameplay in the game but still they scrapped it? It seemed pretty close to done. It says Bethesda just cancelled their plans for showing the game off at some thing.

    I'm hoping to god that this is just because it isn't ready and these 'reliable sources' are unreliable

     

    What are your thoughts on these unfortunate turn of events? Will the promising shooter really go down? And by a company like Bethesda that obviously has enough money to support it?

    Besides, what else are they going to make? They just made some FO games, and they JUST made Skyrim. They haven't even gave out DLC for Skyrim. Don't they only make 1 game per console generation for ES? What about FO? It seems like this Prey 2 would be a great in-between project.

    I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW IT SUCKS it does suck the game looked absolutely AMAZING but as jcalberta said it does come down to money i guess we will find out soon whats going on but if it does get cancelled i just hope some other company buys off the rights and continues the game

    The only thing is that if someone buys it off it's most likely going to lose all or most of Bethesda's magic. That was one of the best things. This was BETHESDA doing an open world game.

    Not many other companies are going to do the same awesomeness as they could.

    From my understanding Bethesda Studios didn't design it, they're just publishing it. Kinda like RAGE, Brink and Wet. Big difference. I'm sure Bethesda's having problems with Human Heads Studio. Maybe deadlines aren't being met, etc. so Bethesda's like "screw these guys" sort of thing. Prey2 will probably be out on a different publisher. It's all politics I'm sure, hence Bethesda's not saying anything do to lawyers and shit.

    I could be wrong, but that's just what I've gathered. I also was keeping an eye out on this game and looking forward to it! It will probably be pushed back 6months to a year now.

    I knew it.....Bethesda wasn't happy with how progress was going.
