Utvecklare talar ut om Prey 2

Nedlagt, utvecklarbyte, lagt på is eller ingenting alls... Uppgifterna går isä om vad som hänt med Prey 2. Nu har Volition-anställda Jason L. Blair - som tidigare jobbade som bland annat narrative designer hos Human Head - bestämt sig för att ge sin version av saken på Twitter.

Om vi ska tro Blair var Prey 2 ett kalasspel som dessutom kommit långt i utvecklingen: "I've worked at/with Human Head Games for years, including different stages of Prey 2 development .I was narrative designer/writer on Prey 2 for the last six months of its development at Human Head. It was a lot more than a demo. Prey 2 was a full game. And a crazy fun one. The team was small but you wouldn't have known it."

Men vad som hände sedan var enligt Blair inte vackert: "What happened to Prey 2, from where I sat, was political. And petty. And potentially litigable. Human Head had a great game. I was heartbroken when Prey 2 went into limbo. Human Head deserved to have that game released. Frankly, they needed it."

Angående ryktet att Arcane Studios nu ska göra Prey 2, så tror Blair att det kan stämma och bli bra i slutändan, men han är ändå inte helt nöjd: "As for Arkane, I've enjoyed what I played of Dishonored. They have the chops. If the rumor is true, they'll likely do well with Prey 2. But I mourn that Prey 2 won't belong to Human Head. I mourn that my friends won't get recognition for what they accomplished."

"Instead, they get the same old "Prey 2 was never a game" and "It was just a demo" thrown around. Shameful. And completely untrue", avslutar han.
