Was very cool, indeed. We may need to start voting for "Trailer of the Year" after this and the Dead Island trailer.

I think its a cool story concept, literally fish out of water being the ONLY human on an alien planet. There is no reason to think that the original Prey's protagonist won't show up as he did enter a portal to take him to another world at the end of the game. So far I am liking the concept, but that has nothing to do with how the game will be. Hopefully we'll see some cool stuff from E3.

Damn... can't wait to play this one. I already beat the first one a long time ago.

Very cool teaser trailer. And considering the "whiny bro" dies in the video, I doubt the video game switches to his perspective.

Why is it so hard to just make a trailer that shows off the GAME?

Well it's just a teaser trailer, not a full trailer. The point of it is just to get an awareness of the title out there... An advertisement for future advertisements... Get people talking about it.
But I get your point.

Because this is just to get you to know the name "Prey 2".
And I can guarantee this teaser will make you remember "hey, that's the game where they had that trailer that didn't show anything about the game, but for some reason I remember it really well! WEIRD!".
Plus there's the fact that Prey was awesome... But that's irrelevant.

Remember when games had personality, what happened to that?
Bethesda is very good at making sequels to games and removing everything you liked about the one before it.

Teaser confirmation... Prey 2 WILL SUCK!
Nope... I have faith that this game will rock, considering how it's not BETHESDA making it, it's the company that MADE THE FIRST ONE!

1) Really? Shooting a gun on an airplane? Never really a good idea.
2) Come on, Justin. The videogame press always bemoans sequels that are simply remakes of the prior game. Would you really have considered another Prey with another angsty Native American metal head chasing his kidnapped girlfriend an "upgrade"? Personally, I'm glad to see Human Head taking a different (not not necessarily unconvergent, as Sammo21 pointed out above) direction and perspective.

Let's see how you respond when alien invaders board your plane and you're the only one whose armed. Pretty sure you're going to do whatever you can do defend yourself.

@MrWolf Mythbusters debunked (http://mythbustersresults.com/episode10) the whole bullet whole causing massive rupture myth. Only concern is confined space and possibility of ricochets and hitting innocents. I'd prefer to take that risk than whatever dangers lie with the aliens.
I'm another who needs to finish the campaign for original...hopefully I can find a copy.

Wasn't there a scene in the first Prey where you walk out and see a crashed plane somewhere? Or maybe you see it crash? I dunno, I finished the game but don't remember a whole lot about it. Just thinking maybe this is some kind of prequel, or parallel story to the first one.

And in the beginning. While you're being abducted, you see a plane get pulled in. ....if I remember correctly.

There is a scene in the first game of a airplane crashing inside the huge mothership. Maybe this is just a rewind from the first game showing how that plane became hijacked, and maybe the person who survived that crash is the person you play as in the game. Or.... it could be entirely unrelated.

good observation. i also remember one of the radio broadcasts from art bell that had someone talking about how planes were getting snatched out of the air. so i think it's safe to say that the invasion claimed more than one plane....

@Liquidfingers I'm pretty sure this means this game plays out concurrently to Tommy's story on that alien worldship. It's not like the aliens left and then are going to be like, "Just kidding, we're totes back!" and re-invade.
I suppose it makes sense, it was a damn big ship.

@zamardii12 Someone else mentioned the end of the first game and the character going into a portal. Maybe this will end up being a Left 4 Dead-esque style shooter with the Air Marshall, Tommy, and other people abducted from around the world. It would definitely make for an interesting story.

Apparently the character you play as (supposedly the marshal who was shooting) is on an alien planet, and the missions are supposedly open and can be completed different ways...

Doesn't sound very much like the first, but could be a nice sequel none the less!

Terrible. Live action trailers for video games are just god awful. At a pinch you can show me prerendered footage so long that it follows the art style and feel of the game.
In the first few seconds I thought "oh WOW this engine looks magnificent!".. "oh it's real" "oh it's cheesy"
If anything this has harmed my anticipation of the game.

Hey Bethesda, I'm not going to watch this video. Game companies take notice, people are sick of live action trailers or CG videos that do not represent the game you are making. Just give us in-game footage and stop wasting your money on expensive CG or actors for live action video and put that money to better use, oh I don't know, maybe put it towards the development of the game.

@Mrblonde57 I can't believe people are defending this garbage. I bet you liked that Dead Island trailer as well. Guess what, they are trying to mislead you. In the case of Dead Island they are trying to sell you something that doesn't exist. CG trailers are never representative of the final game especially when that trailer promises some sort of emotional content. Dead Island is just going to be yet another game where you stab zombies in the face. When people not only like being lied to by these trailers but actually defend them we know the marketers have truly won. It's crazy how easily they can manipulate you by using sad piano music or live action to make you want a game.

Hey, Bungie spent tons of time making live action trailers for ODST and Halo: Reach and the gameplay of both were still pretty solid. If the game is good, you shouldn't really worry about the ads.

Why do sci-fi trailers lately ALWAYS seem to end with that fake static-y splash screen with the product title? Are they really hoping to instill fear in us the viewer by showing "Hey, our trail--er is los--ing fa-ke sig--nal, thi-s is ver-y scar-y boo-ooo!".
Yes this bothers me more than whiny bro.

I really liked the first game, looking forward to the sequel. I hope Tommy and the Native American themes return in some form, though. I thought those aspects were pretty unique and interesting.

You can't fight a species that doesn't even value it's own life enough to board an airplane and blow itself up!
Maybe this game will have you shooting infinite-spawning baddies for years on end while you wait for a diplomatic resolution.
There will be aggressor aliens and civilian aliens. Shooting one aggressor will create two civilians, let's say,... But shooting one civilian will result in the creation of four more aggressors!
Endgame is having a certain majority percentage civilians vs. aggressors.
But be careful, both groups are fairly indistinguishable.
Oh and don't forget, the inevitable MP mode that lets you play as the aliens hunting down humans will raise an uproar and get banned from sale on the International Space Station!
