Like another member of the forums I called my local Gamestop up and they say it is still in their systems but has been pushed back to next year in January. January 1st to be precise but I'm guessing this is a placer date.

As a general rule if a date hasn't been announced to the public, and it's more than a month or so away, its a placeholder conjured up by the store.

WTF !?!?!?

... feels terrible.

What the heck is going on with Zenimax http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/122/1221518/Prey2Tweet_1332541903.jpg

And about the silence - these publishing guys really can't say anything without approval - what kind of customer connection this is ...

Pushed back is fine with me. Being cancelled, is not.

Personally I'm not too surprised, I had heard a few months back from an ex-employee that Human Head was having some difficulties and to be fair I'm not that dissapointed either. This isn't too different from what happened to the first game, having started development in 1995 then having most of the team leave in 1996 and then having to be restarted in 1997 only to have the lead programmer leave in 1998/1999 which resulted in it to being canned, until eventually being restarted again by Human Head in 2001. You have to wonder if the name "Prey" is cursed

This game better not get cancelled, it looks amazing and I am really looking forward to it. TBH I would rather have this game than New Vegas just because it looks and sounds like its gonna be awesome.

Welll according to the so called "leak" it was supposed to be announced last week, no announcement was made.

it is also a leak from a so called "bethesda employee" but human-head is actually making the darned game

oh, and appearently Human Head was surprised by the fact that Zenimax pulled their talks, soooooooo . . . . apparently they are still working on it

Maybe Bethesda was surprised by the negative publicity and the amount of criticism they received from gamers......

Dear Bethesda, IF YOU CANCEL PREY 2 I AM DONE BUYING YOUR GAMES!!!!!!!

What negative publicity and criticism? I haven't any at all.

» Wed May 02, 2012 12:36 pm

Yeah, there was no negative publicity. Everything about the game was extremely well-received, except by a handful (and I mean a HANDFUL) of Prey 1 purists.

I hope it's just a delay, because a cancellation would be infuriating.

» Wed May 02, 2012 6:46 pm

So, still no word from Human Head? I wouldn't be too surprised if this was pushed back to add MP

You guys mis-understood. I am saying that maybe because of the bad publicity and criticism, they have not made the "announcement" about the game being cancelled and are reconsidering.....

» Wed May 02, 2012 8:05 pm

I don't understand why they would even consider cancelling from what I have seen it was getting positive comments from the demo's they have done.
the only negatives I have seen so far where about it not even needing to be part of they prey IP (story)

» Wed May 02, 2012 11:49 pm

Really hoping its a rumour too. Prey 2 looks great fun, after that sweet CG trailer you'd think it would have been a solid release. If it is getting canned, there must be a pretty good reason.

» Thu May 03, 2012 3:35 am

I don't understand why they would even consider cancelling

We don't know if they ever did consider canceling - so far this is still just a rumor.

» Thu May 03, 2012 1:12 am

I hope whole this story is fake. If the game is released, ill be the first in the shop to buy it. So, dont cancel it please. Sci fi open world, what can i ask more?

» Wed May 02, 2012 1:56 pm

I didn't think it would be cancelled there's to much development that has been already done. I'm betting it's been delayed to add co-op or multiplayer.

I know there's no official word yet and this could just be rumor too but I hope it's true.

» Wed May 02, 2012 6:28 pm

As I said on the cancel thread, I wouldn't be surprised if it is delayed to add MP or/and co-op just so they could slap on an online pass and increase DLC revenue as they will be able to release both sp and mp DLC

» Wed May 02, 2012 12:44 pm

Sweet you refferenced my work.

» Wed May 02, 2012 11:15 pm

Lol yeah I kinda jumped the gun there. Glad they removed my topic, ugh how embarrassing :blush:

Guess I let my emotions get the better of me instead of stopping to think, and read posts thoroughly :confused:

» Wed May 02, 2012 11:58 am

it has been over 2 weeks I wonder if they will ever officially respond to this rumor ?

» Wed May 02, 2012 2:47 pm

I'm tired of looking up info on this rumor! If it's true bethesda has screwed me again... first Brink (crap game waste of 60 bucks) and now this!!!!! WTF if it ever gets released I will pick it up but I'm done worrying about it!! See yah Prey 2 community.

» Wed May 02, 2012 10:37 pm

I remember that a few days ago the game's Facebook page didn't have the new interface and now http://www.facebook.com/prey2. It might means nothing but still some kind of update.
