Why did it fail?

Good game, bad marketing.
After the price dropped significantly, more people played it and said it was pretty good. Then the devs tried to make some money with the DLC but people didn't buy that either even after playing and liking the game.
Afterwards the owner/founder of the studio said "Fuck this shit" and stepped down.

Anyways, it's a really good game
>muh unfinished prototype
Fuck off
Prey isn't that much of deal. There are way more people that go "I remember that game, it was neat" than retards pretending that Prey(2018) was a sin to humanity because it isn't really Prey

Bethesda absolutely dropped the ball on marketing.

Hey, man. I bought it eventually.

The ending was rushed and complete trash. I didn't even realize it was over when it happened

bethesda

mooncrash is better

It was a good game, but not a good Prey game.

Terrible marketing
Didn't need the Prey name

Also the ending fucking sucks but it's a good game

Should have called it Typhoon.
NPCs are hung up on names and don't understand pubilsher politics to preserve their rights to IPs.

Does it have any connection to the original Prey?

it's about aliens

So you could ask

I ask myself the same question when I see filtered troglodytes hating this game. Clearly the parents must be asked this instead.

Because this type of game needs to be made on a smaller budget with way more focused marketing. It's always like this, Deus Ex sold like 1 million copies in the time that Half Life sold 10 million.
'Immersive sims' are just never gonna be AAA blockbusters and it's gonna be a car crash if you budget it like that

Bethesda being retarded with pr campaign

I wonder why do retarda bitch and whine about Prey 2. Literally nothing was shown about it but they act like it was le epic hecking cancelled masterpiece. Is tgat some form of ironic trolling or some ecelebfagot made video about prey2?

>Another repetition of sperglords throwing shit at each other for liking/disliking a game and strawmanning some shit about Prey 2
Getting really tired of these reruns, you should make another Spec Ops thread OP, we haven't had one in like two days

>prey 2006
>great shooter
>literally dnf tier crap and in 2006
Neck yourself

i'm still mad

Retards will tell you shit like "It's because it has nothing to do with the original Prey!" or "There was no marketing!" but that's all bullshit. The game had marketing and nobody gives a fuck about the original Prey. Sometimes shit just doesn't sell. Doesn't matter if the game is good. Doesn't matter if you spend a fortune on marketing. It just doesn't gel with the public at that time.

naming the game prey

>terrible, non-existent marketing
>inexplicably used the “prey” name despite it having nothing to do with the OG prey, and the IP being relatively unknown so has very little selling power
>marketed as an FPS, but is actually an action RPG, if you play it as a shooter it is awful
>extremely bland visual design, couldn’t possibly look any more generic if it tried

I would wager the above are the main reasons. Also, not a huge marker for immersive sims other than Deus Ex because of its notoriety.

Sure looks nice but ultimately the experience felt a bit flat compared to the games that blatantly inspired it (like deus ex and system shock).
