“Remembering Prey”? The game is 7 years old, and has a release on current gen consoles. The nostalgia cycle is starting to spiral in on itself. Get ready for “Remember Baldurs Gate 3” next month.

If we want to talk about a game that is about ready for a nostalgic revival, featured unique gameplay for the time, told a story with interesting lore, and had the potential for interesting sequels, let’s remember Prey (2006). Also, it had a bus full of evil ghost kids on a spaceship. Can’t beat that.

What are they going to replace it with? The X button is so iconic! … oh, gotta finish reading the headline before commenting.

Thanks for the suggestion, YouTube.

I think the show is great and presents complex stories in simple ways. Assuming the creators of the show have a big hand in writing for the game, then I’d have confidence in this game.

What in the Wizards-of-the-Coast is this shit?

I actually cannot figure out where the logic is on this sort of thing (apart from CEOs having big cartoon dollar signs for eyes). You create a product, give it out for free, then get salty when people use your free product and demand payment in retrospect? And not just a ‘commercial licence’ payment, but a cut off the top of every game sold.

I can’t wait for visual effects software companies to start charging James Cameron $0.20 on every ticket sold for Avatar 3.

Or Tesla to start charging their drivers a fee anytime they use their car as a rideshare vehicle… actually I wouldn’t put that one past Emerald Boy.

So your suggestion is to not play the open-world part of the open-world game?

I understand that the 3DS and Vita are older handhelds, but it still doesn’t feel right to refer to them as ‘retro’ yet. Especially I’m the case of the 3DS, it was essentially the latest platform before the Switch.

I’m not staring down the barrel of my own aging mortality. YOU ARE!

What a big pile of nothing that was.

Not sure I vibe with this. Just from the trailer it feels a little generic story-wise, and the gameplay felt like a MOBA, which I’ve found is fine for the length of a match, but don’t think I could handle for a whole game.

Beautiful game, until you have to look at the puffy, uncanny faces.
