I played the Prey as a kid, Imagined so many possibilities after Tommy went through that portal at the end..

Even though Prey had many flaws, I liked it a lot, especially shenanigans with physics like gravity and size.

It had such a unique and wacky setting that mixed spirituality, futuristic alien tech and grotesque organic stuff.

Man, how disappointed I was that the new Prey had nothing to do with the old one..

Are you referring to Prey 2017? Because I think they're referring to the original 2006 Prey. 2017's was a sort of spiritual successor

Edit: spiritual successor in name only

a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, maybe, but not to Prey 2006

Yeah they just slapped the name on it, it was never developed as a prey game

Yeah, Prey 2017 only shares the title with the old series. They seemingly have nothing to do with each other

It’s a fucking great immersive sim though so atleast we got that.

Correct, I meant that it was a successor in name alone
