He was a relatively unique protagonist, not only in personality but also in the fact that he was Native American. Now he's being replaced with a generic white guy.

I don't understand why they replaced Tommy from the first game. He was a relatively unique protagonist, not only in personality but also in the fact that he was Native American. Now he's being replaced with a generic white guy. Prey's ending left the story wide open for Tommy so it's dumb to just drop him completely. I guess they were afraid that a Native American protagonist wouldn't sell as well.

Prey was unique but tasted bitter because it they should have been working on Duke Nukem Forever. They should have waited until DNF was released before announcing this...it feels like there's 12 year old salt in my wounds.

An Air Martial? What are we going to do...bust someone for smoking on the plane? Why can't we be someone more dangerous like an accountant or attorney?

3D Realms weren't involved in the development of Prey (at least not in the product that was actually released) and neither are they with this one. I don't even think they owned the IP anymore after the first.

Or a Internet commenter? :p

Scott: When we act as a producer, we often contribute significant funding to a project, which allows it to reach a point where it is much easier to pitch to publishers. We also provide design guidance, marketing guidance (for example, I was a prime mover on all marketing for Duke Nukem 3D, Max Payne, and Prey, leading the design of the retail boxes, game ads, picking the screen shots, writing all of the marketing text, etc.), and at the end, we are deeply involved with play-testing and polishing. It’s quite a lot of work, but then, it’s also really fun.



A calm moment in Prey...
Prey was well received by press and gamers alike, so just how much input did 3D Realms have in its development?

Scott: All of the above! Big money. The overall concept came from me, and was then co-shaped by Human Head and me together. I brought in all three of the external writers and worked closely with them, and Human Head, to lay-out the story and characters. Human Head and I worked on all of the key gameplay ideas, some coming from me (death walk, spirit walk, Talon) and some from Human Head (gravity and wall walking). And many from 3DR were involved with the game’s play-testing. It really is a big collaboration.

Yeah, the first Prey was soooooo amazing, right?

I loved how it was totally impossible to lose because you resurrected after an arcade-style bow and arrow mini game.
