This was doomed from the gecko.

Blaiz0r,

I could care less

The only thing you need to know is that Randy Pitchford was involved. This guarantees it’s going to be a shitshow.

I went to Rotten Tomatoes to read the reviews. Had me cracking up with how negative they were. Lol

They dished out a huge flop - there's no way this will pay the production cost

This movie’s development was a mess and it had weird casting, it was basically destined to fail

If from poster alone you can tell they failed to capture characters, you know it's bad

I’m not surprised. I knew this was going to be bad from the first trailer. This movie had trouble being made for a while, being shot in 2021 then had re-shoots in 2023 from another director I believe.

Also didn’t a writer want their name removed from the credits?

Not just any writer: Craig Mazin of Chernobyl and The Last of Us fame.

The casting choices are really questionable here. Looks like the casting was done to bring in a generic movie going audience that watches movies based on the cast, but this was only going to succeed by appealing to the actual fan base. Jack Black and Kevin Hart don’t need to be in every movie. I’m surprised Chris Pratt isn’t in this honestly.

theangriestbird,

maybe he would be if he hadn’t landed Mario

Annoyed_Crabby,

Jack Black is quite fitting with the role but he isn’t the only funni guy around, can even hire the OG VA for claptrap since they just need the voice.

apotheotic,

Probably a good idea not to hire the original voice actor for claptrap… 😅

Annoyed_Crabby,

Umm, why?

apotheotic,

This ^

I have no doubt that Eddings wouldn’t want to have anything to do with anything remotely close to Pitchford after that kind of treatment. If he did, that’s a toxic as fuck environment to create.

Good immersive sims are few and far between. I’m cautiously optimistic.

Let’s fucking go. Let’s fill the Deus Ex void

I’m interested.

ConstableJelly,

Same, though interested is an understatement. Prey is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. I enjoyed Weird West, but it left me feeling more like a POC of what the studio wants to do than anything up to the actual standards of Arkane’s best.

If WolfEye fills the void of Arkane’s deplorable closure, they’ll get all the support I can give.

theangriestbird,

I really have to get around to Weird West

Dymonika,

Prey is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played.

Yep, and yet, for some reason, I just can’t bring myself to play through it a second time.
