Whispers of Prey 2

by Matt on December 19th, 2006

Computer and Video Games once again has the link. Today they took a look back at Prey and talk to some of the developers about certain features of the game. Such as Tommy’s girlfriend (Jen) and the alien ship, and the spirit walking deal. It’s a good take on seeing what they envisioned for certain areas and why certain things are the way they are in the game. One of the more interesting tidbits:

“The idea was that the children were being taken over by the dishonoured dead, who were following Tommy back from his Death Walk.”

I had no clue. I just figured they were being creepy little alien abducted kids. Not that it actually changes anything in the game but it’s nice when you get the meaning behind certain things that you weren’t too clear on.

One of the last things they mention is work on Prey 2. Now, for those of us who completed the game and stuck around through the credits we know that they set us up the sequel. My thoughts drift over to Valve’s game Portal. With that being released soon and Prey 2 probably further off in the timeline I wonder how similar the games will be. Whether or not they’ll basically be the same thing but just in different environments. Obviously Portal looks more like a prisoner trapped in a test lab game and Prey is the aliens in space with technology variety. I’m curious as to if they’ll feel like the same game. We’ll just have to wait and see.
