I loved the unique level design of PREY. Walking on the walls and ceilings. I will never forget walking on the baseball sized planet and seeing the titanic baddie spot me there. Such designs are what made the game memorable. However from what I hear they are ditching that. They are taking away the one thing that made it a truely memorable game.
well there arent going to be levels exactly
its a mostly open world
the problem with creating too distinct of environments in open worlds tends to lead to loitering in those distinct places
I am sure they will have some good stuff like that, but you have too remember it doesnt take place on the sphere
