Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?
evujumenuk@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoWhat aspects of the newer Prey make it more like Doom than the older Prey? To me, that’s kinda like saying, “System Shock was just Wolfenstein 3D 🎶 in space 🎶”

I know the atmospheric design is doom like (aliens, weapons, paltforms…etc.) but gameplay mechanics were totally inovative and original (wall walking, portals, spirit walk) and chracter focus was also cool (native american).
I’m not saying Prey 2016 is a Bad game, I just found it sad that they totally changed the franchise spirit 😄

I thought the original Prey was boring as hell. It’s not like it didn’t have any interesting features, but the lack of penalty for dying meant that failure is impossible.
Prey isn’t really a franchise at all, just two completely unrelated games with the same name.
The newer one was supposed to be a sequel when it was being made by the original devs, but in the end it’s a completely separate game with no connection to the first.

I don’t deny that Old Prey was an innovative game. But stating that everything that wasn’t Doom was stripped out while implying that nothing else was added in feels a bit disingenuous.
