That’s it, no story similarities and no real concrete gameplay similarities. The first weapon you get is a wrench in both games (but this is also the first weapon in System Shock 2, the game’s real immediate predecessor).Really the only similarities between the two Prey games are: At the same time, Arkane is sort of going back to their roots with this game, as it’s more like their very first video game ever, Arx Fatalis. On the other hand, Arkane’s Prey is more like a spiritual successor to the System Shock games, like the BioShock games but much better with less dumbing down. It was a technologically groundbreaking unique take on the fast paced FPS genre thanks to its vertical, upside down, sideways, physics defying yet awesome gameplay full of alien technology that you interact with. The original Prey was a fast paced, action packed, bizarre but awesome Sci-Fi FPS on id Tech 4 engine. I suppose that makes Arkane’s game a reboot, but the two games could hardly be any more different. We previously reviewed the original Prey from Human Head Studios.
