From Bethesda.net Even during the earliest days of development, Arkane wanted to avoid any clichés when designing the aliens – a mandate that came from Creative Director Raphael Colantonio. “We wanted to avoid what Raf [Colantonio] calls ‘Orcs with laser guns,’” says Lead Designer Ricardo Bare. “We didn't want to do troopers with blasters, or some kind of squishy, slimy, gory monsters. Instead, we wanted to evoke something more mysterious, unknowable, paranormal. It took a long time to get there, but basically the Typhon body shapes are amorphous. They’re hard to pin down. They’re very threatening in an ‘I don't really know what that creature is thinking’ sort of way.”So, if that isn't terrifying enough, read on... Prey – Typhon Guide

Yikes! Looks good, though.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I'm hoping they spent as much time on the game play mechanics, story line and character progression as they did the enemies of the game. For me, this genre of game seems to always lead to a let down, because they all turn into Doom at one point or another; one against many, guns against aggressors, impossible odds, scary hallways, big crazy boss at the end. There are very few that rise above that formula. Don't get me wrong, being a fan of RPG's I'm bound to formulaic gameplay, but those feel a bit more multi-dimensional. This one looks like it has some interesting twists, keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh, yes... more mayhem please! The original Prey is still one of my all-time favorite games. I also hope the weapons are as equally cool. The aliens are definitely the stuff of nightmares - very much looking forward to this one.
Gardens put to bed for the winter. Time for some gaming!
