Radar Group announces two games in addition to Prey 2 for PC, Xbox 360
3D Realms was behind the original Prey but the project has shifted over to Radar Group for Prey 2. It was a little disconcerting to hear some say that it was not doing anything else but Prey 2. That is not the case and in addition to Prey 2 for the PC and Xbox 360 platforms it has some additional titles in the works as well.
I already mentioned Prey 2 but wasn’t completely sure at that time if Prey 2 was the company’s only project, I’m glad to report that it’s not.
According to the company, in addition to Prey 2 other games in the works include Earth no More and Incarnate. From the press release (PDF warning),
“Earth No More
Earth No More does away with the “lone-hero” shooter archetype, instead focusing on the
dynamic between an ensemble cast that must learn to work together to survive the threat of an
environmental extinction event. As Will Foster, a DHS chemical weapons specialist, you are
among the first to respond to a gas attack on Washington, D.C. However, it soon becomes clear
that the gas attack is a cover-up for something much more sinister. Earth No More is currently
being developed in close collaboration with Recoil Games and is slated for release on next-gen
consoles and PC.Incarnate
Incarnate poses the question: Can evil ever die? The re-incarnated souls of history’s most evil
people are converging on present-day Chicago. As Thomas Ludlow, you are recruited by a secret
organization to hunt down and capture these ‘Incarnates’. But the further you dig into the reasons
for their arrival, the more you learn of the true nature of your efforts and your own connection to
the events unfolding before you. Stalk your prey in the wide open city, search for them in the dark
places, and maybe you will survive long enough to solve the mystery of your own past. Can you
break the chains of destiny, or will you let them bind you to your doom? Incarnate is currently
being developed in collaboration with a yet-to-be-announced studio.”
They look good on paper but based on Prey (which was a little short of the game’s claims) I can’t see either these games obtaining the fame of BioShock or Crysis – both of which have one or more sequels in the works. With that being the case, I do not envy any company that releases a game to go up against those “Big Daddy’s.”
Only time will tell but the original Prey received somewhere between “mediocre” and “good” scores but lagged behind the greats of the time.

Prey was an abombination, why would they make another one? That’s like Factor 5 making another Lair game, it just doesn’t make sense.
