My favorite memory of Prey is when I passed through a portal and it took me to the surface of a small planetoid in a glass box I saw some minutes before... And the terrible visage of a Hunter looking very closely to me from the other side of that very same glass. We don't have moments like this in any modern games. Not anymore.
It's unforgivable that this game will probably never get a sequel thanks to Bethesda's actions back in 2011.
I just played through this game for the first time recently. The puzzles and gameplay are ground breaking for its time. Great story and amazing to have a Native American protagonist. A must play for enthusiasts and game preservationists. Deserves to be among some of the best FPS
There's gotta be a way for Bethesda to allow this game to be released, without have to confusing it with the Arkane's reboot.
They already absorbed Human Head Studios to work on the damn Redfall game and terminated them with layoffs! It's a shame!
What the hell is Pete Hines doing with this IP?!
I have this game on CDROM. What impressed me the most was how original this game is: I believe this is the first time someone introduced the concept of a portal. I remember when I found that room that has a small planet enclosed in a box, and when you enter the portal, you shrink and enter that small planet where a battle begins. It was crazy to discover those antigravity paths where you can walk on walls or even on the ceiling, its so crazy that eventually I lost the sense of what is up and down...
Awesome game with lots of neat tricks, surprises and cinematic moments. It's pretty insane how the copyright struggle is what holds it back from being available (as far as I know) - especially since how one of the most awesome moments of the game is when Don't Fear The Reaper is played during the abduction sequence. The game introduced the Blue Öyster Cult to me, and I can't be thankful enough for that.
Something to note:
Bethesda has to do a deal with Take Two to be able to re-release the game. This is due to Take Two having the publishing rights.
Any existing retail box (3CD or1DVD) keys will work on Steam, as this was set up by 2K Games years ago.
Pete Hines is no longer employed by Bethesda. He retired in 2023.
Human Head joined Bethesda in 2019, long after Prey 2 was canned, in a twist of irony.
It was around... 2007? I had just gotten a steam account, had redeemed my half-life keys, and was checking the store. Everything was so expensive for me at the time. Saw this game's trailer, and I was so impressed by it!, it looked so amazing! and the little story I watched intrigued me so hard! I had to have it! But no money... I found a way to play it, and passing through my first portal was an incredible experience! Not to mention all the floating and the use of magic that I hadn't seen in any game before this. Even tho I played through it, I decided I would buy it when I had the chance. It wasn't too far from then, when the game started to appear on Steam as "Sold Out" for some reason. How do you run out of copies for a game you sell digitally?! It was ridiculous! I couldn't even find it on stores anymore, and back then I didn't trust buying physical things online. Regardless, I bid my time, and waited. Perhaps it'd be "on stock" again at some point? Nope. It suddenly disappeared some time after. By the time I was able to spend a lot of money in a Steam Sale, it was not even remembered anymore in the store, and later; when they announced the new Prey, imagine my Immense Disappointment when I found out it wasn't a continuation, not even a retell or reimagining, of the scary, tragic and immensely cool adventure you had as Tommy in that horrible Sphere ship thing. It was something else entirely. I don't think there was even any reference to the original. People HAVE to be able to play this game. It's SO DAMN COOL! IDC if the name needs to be changed, call it Sphere, Tommy, The Hidden, IDK! You think of a cool name, even a lame one is ok. Just please, retrieve this Marvelous Gem from oblivion.

Panzer Dragoon II ZweiPanzer Dragoon II Zwei is an "on-rails" shoot 'em up game released exclusively for the Sega Saturn. It was the second Panzer Dragoon game released but it is a prequel of the series. It was developed by Team Andromeda, one of Sega's internal development studios.Action
Panzer Dragoon OrtaThe fourth installment of the Panzer Dragoon series has you playing Orta, a young girl who has been imprisoned by the Empire. Under a wave of attack, the prison camp is broken through by a mysterious dragon, and Orta takes it upon herself to ride the dragon, and destroy the Empire once and for all. Along the way, she will also discover her own destiny, and the mystery surrounding her new friend.
Simply put, you have limited control of the dragon for most of the game, as your trigger finger will be shooting non-stop at the enemies that fly around the area. Orta will be your main source of fire-power when you simply press the fire button, but by pressing and holding, the aim cursor will change, allowing you to fire a burst of power from the dragon at whatever the cursor aims at.
The dragon itself can change into three forms at a press of a button. Each form has a different style of attack and power ability.
A port of the original Panzer Dragoon is included.Action Science fiction

The game also marked the directorial debut of game designer Yukio Futatsugi, who was 25 years old at that time.
