Are there any other cool and classic Games (like Prey 2006) that aren't available on Steam directly anymore, but are still available on other sites and keystores online?
Any suggestions for games like Prey? (Solo play with great storyline)
When Jerry enters it's very similar and even has the main Native American character "Tommy", same outfit and everything.
I immediately thought of Prey the game that came out on PC and console (it was pretty good if I recall). Neat little detail.
I love both games but why do they call the 2017 game a reboot of the 2006 game when they have absolutely nothing to do with each other?
I specifically remember taking out a game from the library several times and I remember visuals of it but the gameplay is fuzzy. I believe the game was a board game almost like mario party but with a bomberman influence. I remember the characters being little 3d sprites representing the different colors in the spectrum of fire and that there was a lot of fire imagery including the die you rolled and tile spaces being the flame color of your character. No idea how much of this is my memory filling in blanks bit there was definitly different color fire characters and i remember a flaming die
The old one from 2006, not the System Shock clone that came out recently. I just beat this game again, and was reminded of how bummed I was with the sequel being cancelled (even though it really, really shouldn't have). The crossbreed of spirituality and cosmic horror themes is interesting and there's nothing quite like it. Are there any games like Prey in some regard? Like native american characters (besides turok, played all those), the giegeresque visuals and monsters, the weird weapons, or just like how the game makes you feel really small with its set pieces and narrative. Oh, and of course the mind bending physics and puzzles. Doesn't matter which platform.
Honestly I'd even take a book, movie or comic too. Not sure where to go for that though where people would know what Prey is, haha.
I have done so far,
-Deleted and reinstalled prey.
-Cleared the cache.
-Moved the saves to a different storage device
-Deleted the autosave
-Tried again about 10 times.
My next plan is to plug the hard drive into a different xbox and try. Anyone have any more suggestions?
I'm committed to these achievements.
UPDATE: The other xbox did not work.

A few days ago I posted that I had a severe gaming burnout and I was unable to finish almost any game I started.After taking a break for few days,I got the itch to play something again and played prey(2006).I am a sucker for linear fps games and what a blast it has been to play through the campaign of prey.
In prey you play as a Native American Garage mechanic and former army guy,Domasi tawhidi,inshort Tommy,being abducted by some aliens to become their fodder.Prey runs on idtech 4,so the lighting of the game is on point,even to this day.It probably even has one of the best openings for a game I have seen in a while.Every weapon you get in the game is a living being in itself.The guns all sound meaty and like what it should be as guns.The story although not ground breaking was pretty interesting for all the 7hrs it lasted.The only thing I was a bit irked about was the dogfighting portions of the game,rest it was a 8-9/10 experience for me as a whole.It's a shame we will never get a Prey 2,set in the universe as this prey.
Atlast I would like to thank this sub for telling me to take a break for few days so that I might enjoy Games once again.
Looking for books or movies with uncommon alien invasion scenarios, like they did on Cowboys & Aliens or the game Prey (2006)
Any tips?
And would it make sense to play the 2006 one first?
Context 1:

The game was initially released in North America and Europe on July 11, 2006. Prey uses a heavily modified version of id Tech 4 to use portals and variable gravity to create the environments the player explores.
Half-Life: Absolute Zero is open source re-imagining of Half-Life alpha/beta shown in E3 in 1997/1998.

Wow what an amazing game. Canβt believe Iβve never played it until now. The plot, the setting, the premise, the weapons, the puzzles, itβs all so unique and creative. It nails that classic creepy Area 51 aesthetic of aliens showing up in the American Desert with the opening in the diner and the radio calls you hear throughout the game.
The weapons are so freaking cool. The grenades arenβt just grenades, theyβre alien crabs that explode when you rip their legs off. Thereβs a cannon that has a facehugger attached to it and it shoots grenades out of its tentacle. Thereβs a gun that lets you suck up different types of energy in the environment to create different effects like lighting, ice or plasma. Thereβs a gun that fires the exploding crabs to act like a grenade launcher except it can also put up an acid barrier that protects you from enemy fire.
And thatβs not even mentioning the insanely cool portal, spirit walking and anti gravity puzzles. The concept of mixing sci fi horror with native american culture is so interesting. The voice acting is great, the music is great, the enemy designs are great. Itβs easily one of the most underrated games iβve ever played. On top of all this, the game was apparently stuck in developmental hell since like 1997. The fact that it went through all those delays, engine changes and dev team switches ended up this good is a miracle. It couldβve easily been the Duke Nukem Forever of 2006.
What an absolute shame the sequel got cancelled. It looked so promising. The first game already nailed everything it tried to do. I can only imagine a bigger, better sequel with higher production values and more advanced technology. Prey 2βs gotta be up there with Silent Hills for most disappointing cancelled game.
What are your guys thoughts on this game? And is the reboot any good? From what iβve heard and seen, itβs basically a new IP that Bethesda slapped an old name onto just to squeeze out what little brand recognition they could get, which is disappointing but it could be a good game in its own right ignoring the title.
Personally, I think Prey is a fine title, but I do understand that it may have been disappointing to fans of the 2006 game,
And Iβve been thinking about it for a while, but I canβt think of a better title than Prey.

Sri Lanka's first medal from WL in Commonwealth Games. Can't find the footages from Youtube
Havenβt played Prey 17 but just finished Prey 06 after not playing it for years, and my god what a masterpiece. I was so bummed back when the 06 sequel Prey 2 got canned. One of my favorite aspects of the game was its lore and the incorporation of Native American ideology/imagery into the story and gameplay.
Does Prey 2017 share a similar identity or any commonality from Prey 2006?
I have a very vague yet distinct memory of going to Best Buy as a kid and playing a demo for a video game shortly before the FlatOut series existed. It was just a basic sandbox type thing where I was driving a green hatchback (could be wrong on the details, but that's how I picture it now) around a generic stadium full of interactive props. There's a chance it could be the original FlatOut, but I distinctly remember buying that game and being disappointed that it wasn't the same one from Best Buy. Also, it was not Test Drive Eve of Destruction. That game was an obsession of mine which is why I liked the similar gameplay of this demo. And that's all I remember.
I can't explain how amazed i was the entire time. There's no reason for you not to play it. it's old, it's abandoned ware, the installation is pretty easy, theres a patch that even easier to install and adjusts it to modern systems, you dont need a high end pc (i played it on a regular laptop and it worked just fine). Sooooo go play it. Just see for yourself.
I've seen a lot of people talking about the Sonic the Hedgehog movie online lately as part of a larger discussion about movies based on video games. We all know that overall, these things rarely ever capture what made the original game special while also failing to provide an interesting story to go along with it. Hell, a lot of video game movies have almost nothing to do with the games they're based on at all!
But then you have Christophe Gans' SILENT HILL from 2006, a movie that not only understood what people liked about the games, but managed to tell a compelling story with great visuals, soundtrack, and performances on top.
I revisited the movie yesterday to see just how well it held up, and my God, it was fantastic. First of all, the ways in which the cinematography directly mirrored some of the game's camera angles were extremely well done. The sound design of the town and creatures was amazing, and the general feeling of unease remains constant throughout.
I think that fact that the film also uses actual music from the games as well was a very nice touch, helping the filmmakers capture the eerie aesthetic of the games without overdoing the references that only fans would get.
Finally, the film actually manages to take some aspects of the games' story and condense them into a more Hollywood-friendly narrative, one that I think actually fills in the blanks nicely. In a way, the movie tells the story of Silent Hill more succinctly than the games ever did, avoiding weird convolutions and bizarre characterizations.
I truly am amazed that this movie exists. It feels like a high water mark of adaptive filmmaking. With a solid grasp on what was good about the source and what can be done with a different medium, SILENT HILL proves to me that better game adaptations are possible. The question is why so few rise to that challenge.
TL;DR-I really love the SILENT HILL movie and wish there were more movies like it! Thanks for reading.
I loved Dishonored, however i couldnt get into Prey for some reason...
Do you guys think this is more like dishonored or prey? I felt in dishonored the level design and your powers made it so much fun to try and stealth your way into places, in Prey i dont know i just felt maybe it wasnt as fluid and you had to rely more on reading notes to find your way around rather than trying for yourself. So basically my question would be if youd say that the game is more similar to dishonored or Prey?
