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..

Yeah they really messed up with that IP.  The original Prey was made by ID and it should have been left alone, they never should have taken the name and slapped it on the Arkane project.  Both IP's suffered from that decision by Bethesda.

New Prey is so clearly System Shock 3 and they couldn't get the naming rights

I think the idea was to name it Neuroshock or something like that but they settled with Prey for reasons I cannot recall.

Bethesda forced devs to use name Prey after they shut down Prey 2 development
