This is ridiculously well trod ground, but Prey also wasn’t at all helped by Bethesda’s marketing.

They had what is probably the truest successor to System Shock 2 that’s been made on their hands and Bethesda made Arkane use the title of a 15 year old portal based shooter that had absolutely no relation to the game and didn’t do particularly well because they owned the IP.

The entire Bethesda-Arkane relationship has been pretty thoroughly mismanaged.

Wait, I thought that was just a remake of Prey. System Shock 2 is one of my favourite games of all time.

lol and this is exactly why that decision was so baffling.

The game has absolutely nothing to do with the 3D Realms Prey game. It’s truer to System Shock than the Bioshock series ever was. It routinely goes on sale for next to nothing – highly recommended if you’re a fan of SS2.
