Prey 2 Cancelled - Inside Source
I let myself get really excited for this game, and that rarely happens. I really hope it isn't cancelled.

Haven't they put a lot of money into this already? If it actually is cancelled, it's an oddity. Even if it's going to sell at a loss, businesses usually don't cancel something they've put a whole lot of money into.
tell that to blizzard :(
they crushed my dreams with starcraft ghost
God don't let that be true. The game's parkour-esque combat and chases was literally something I wanted to try out.
This is too bad...the game looked like it had some interesting mechanics outside of the usual FPS realm. Maybe another dev will pick it up..
Prey 2 looked great, it would be a shame to have it cancelled outright.
EDIT: It will probably come out sooner or later, maybe given to another developer. I mean for fuck sake, Duke Nukem Forever is a retail product you can buy with money.

Yeah but the first Prey, in classic 3D Realms fashion, took like almost a decade to come out, so maybe this one will just be canned completely.

It only got 500,000 views for its trailer on Youtube. This thing wasn't going to be profitable.
Bethesda had done almost ZERO marketing. Most people don't even know what kind of game it is. The fact that it got 500k views is a good thing.
Anyway Bethesda, you better take a good long look at your publishing part. Except Skyrim and Rage, you have published shit shows such as ... well let's see: Hunted: Demon's Forge. Rogue Warrior, Wet and Brink (Though I kind of liked Brink) and you cancel this game. Bravo.

Wow, good fucking point.
Good job, Bethesda. You cunts.
Are you serious?! I was pretty pumped for this game. There was alot of positive buzz around it, makes no sense why they would just trash it.
Considering their "No comment", I think it is either cancelled or being transferred to a different studio. Considering shuffling around in the company recently, I'm hopeful that its development is just being taken over by someone else.
Terrible if true, it looked awesme... :( I have a veryhard time thinking all the work done sofar will be scrapped, so we will see much one way or the other sooner or later, but Prey2 looked well worth playing months ago, so that is honestly the way I'd rather see it.. If it needs more timegive it more time, but don't cancel it.. pleasseee..
This is bullshit, whilst everyone was screwing around with a stupid Mass Effect 3 petition, there should've been a petition to save this game!
The dates are a little off between them but still. This game looked legitimately awesome, the concept is fucking amazing. How could it not come together? Bummer. Hopefully someone with fucking common sense will pick it up and put it out, like someone said, Duke Nukem Forever came out right?
I'm a pessimist so...I believe it unfortunately.
I also thought Prey 2 was looking great but considering how little we've seen maybe they cancelled it because it wasn't in fact as sweet as we all thought it looked?
It's a bummer, but I can't lose too much sleep over a game that nobody knows for sure was actually going to be good or not.
This was one of my most anticipated games this year, just behind Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us (if that is even coming out this year). It would suck if this rumour is true
I am not sure if this has been linked yet or not, but VG247.com has the hot scoop on this news.
