I had the same reaction to Marathon as well as the new Black Hawk Down.
Comment on Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets

Great, I’m in.
“It’s a multi-player extraction shooter”
Nope, I’m out. This smells like a “Prey” situation.

But Prey was actually good.

Prey was sooo good.
Sucks for the people who wanted a continuation of the original tho.

It was really good. I just wanted more indigenous themes if they were going to use the Prey name. It was such a disappointment in that respect.

prey 2 was going to be nothing like prey. I’m glad it didn’t happen tbh.

For real, immersive sim fans that haven’t played it are missing out. It probably should’ve had a different name though.

It did at one point, but I think they were forced to change it to Prey at some point in development. It had a “Shock” title to put it in line with System Shock and Bioshock.

Believe it was ‘Neuroshock’

That rings a bell now that you mention it. A shock title is so much more fitting!
