This is one of the few times where a demo completely sold me on a game. One of the greatest, most atmospheric, and most horrifying intros in any game I've played.
People who made this game had vision, style, innovative gameplay ideas, knack for intriguing story and horror - and they were not afraid to take risks. Figures Bethesda would dismantle them and shit all over their original brand by randomly assigning it to other studio's game which was intended to be a completely separate franchise. Gaming executives are among the most idiotic people on this planet.
its like youre a character in a horror movie about where the shit goes down but because youre not a mindless actor it goes the opposite direction of horror movie
I remember getting excited about this game, it was using the doom 3 engine and the graphics were pretty ahead of its time, my computer could barely play this game at the time. I still remember being around 16 or 17 years old counting down the timer for Half-Life 2 as well as Doom 3, those were pretty Advanced for their times as well. I miss those days obviously because I was young and free of responsibility for the most part, the only thing that was important to me was these brand new experiences that I was about to have with these games.
This game was my kind of sci-fi. A Story straight out of a pulp novel, full of action, characters you actually care about with amazing acting; and gameplay moments and scenes that are emotional punches to the gut! Oh and Don’t Fear the Reaper!!
I might guess each games sold on steam is/was tied to serial number like the stand alone copies were and the random number generator that generated all the keys/serials for all the copies must have hit the limit of numbers that the algorithm used can generate. in order to fix that would have to have re written or changed some code and if it happens too long after the came out and is too far out of production companies won't bother or in this case may have already gone out of business which could be another reason but, i don't think they had tanked quite yet at the time Prey copies ran out.
I remember watching my cousin play this as a kid back in the day and it freaked me out so much I've been trying to remember what the game was for years and finally figured out it was this!
Bethesda: Hey, let’s make a sequel to this game and illegally not pay the employees enough so we can buy them out of existence and then wipe this game off the face of steam! [Everybody Disliked That]
Prey 2016: Stupid helicopter scene. Doesn't have Don't Fear the Reaper Prey 2006: Get Abducted by aliens. Kill 2 assholes. Does have Don't Fear the Reaper
To ,me it is the best PREY of all. Regrettably the German Youth Code Officials did not liked what they had seen there and not only cut out scenes from the Into they deemed as to violant but also scenes in the game itself. Like the one of the kids in the school bus being turned into demons- So in the beginning Tommy comes over as some NO Good with anger issues just killing those guys at the bar because of a mood swing. The scene in which those people had attacked his girl friend had been missing in the German cut. I only know this from the Preview - Convention Videos show in Germany. There those scenes had been brought up untempered by the German authorities.
This next to bioshock has the craziest scene in it. I did not know what to expect when you get pulled into the spaceship and back then I just got a good powerful computer and the graphics blew my mind. Also the aliens running upside down and draging people people trapt the n part were you see like a planet in a display case go through a portal and your on the planet looking up at these huge aliens so immersive man
Aperently, the 2nd game would've had a us play a u.s marine that crashlanded on the sphere in the first game and is a bounty hunter in a Galaxy that he would've teamed up with this guy. But Bethesda and every other games company/publisher are all s**t heads.
I am just here for the music and a prisoner making game reviews told me to.
Same! Same.

What a great, intro/ monologue. "The world is full of stories, and from time to time, they permit themselves to be told...."
This intro makes me care about the characters.... can't say that about many games.
i still get goosebumps when don't fear the reaper starts.
I know I'm four years late, but nice last name.
@@Swordsoulreaver better late than never cuzzin!
You’re supposed to. ;)

@@Swordsoulreaver and family REUNITE!
I always liked how the grandpa who knew what was coming, just chills and drinks a beer.
Ikr
Tommy started busting them fools in the kneecaps LOL
Man this game was BIG back then. Huge in 2006. I built a new computer just to play it and the graphics were ahead of its time.
after all these years, I never had goosebumps like this in a game intro
I can't even say this game was underrated, it did well. But this is one of the greatest prologues of any game.
"Hey, Cleans-With-Rags, how about a couple more beers over here."

One of the best video game intros of all time. Along with Bioshock.
crazy cuz 2K published that game as well
i remember playing this demo of this on my mates 360, the graphics were amazing at that time man..dont fear the reaper
Honestly? The graphics are still really good, even for today.
i know what to expect, and i still get chills. what an amazing opening sequence.
the action start at 4:58
my fav fps of all times , the atmo the puzzles the bosses, the mechanics, the story everything great
I'm still really pissed, that the original Prey 2 was cancelled.
its like youre a character in a horror movie about where the shit goes down but because youre not a mindless actor it goes the opposite direction of horror movie
One of the best intros to a game ever... followed by a decent actual game.
**Immediately switches the music to Judas Priest and turns it to max volume**
I see you're a man of culture.
Its not Judas priest, a real judas priest fan would know that
Immediately puts on Judas Priest. I approve.
that's blue oyster cult not Judas prei
@@WoodsAreBeautiful you can set Judas Priest - Another Thing Coming on the Jukebox and it's what playing in the background at the bar in the video.
That's the first thing I always did
I like that they played Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper, I love that song
Yes it fits too well. Ood

Oh and Don’t Fear the Reaper!!
Modern game developers could learn quite a bit from this
Civvie11 feeding off my nostalgia brought me here.
this game was such a gem
Haven’t played this game since it came out, somehow just as amazing as I remembered it being. Graphics are surprisingly solid
One of the BEST intro made for a video game (with Half Life 1)
I think it's actually the id tech 4 engine(doom 3).
@@JustNems I think they mean that this intro is one of the best alongside the intro to Half-Life 1, not that this was made on the GoldSrc engine.
@@majora4prez543 ohhhhhhhhh that makes sense
I come back to this intro because it is fucking amazing. Especially with Blue Oyster Cult
This game is pretty good, SO GOOD, that they literally ran out of digital copies on steam. (they ran out of serial numbers)
I was wondering what happened to the store page.
I was wondering the same thing. How is that even possible?
I might guess each games sold on steam is/was tied to serial number like the stand alone copies were and the random number generator that generated all the keys/serials for all the copies must have hit the limit of numbers that the algorithm used can generate.

you can redeem the keys form the physical copy on steam as far as i know. that's how i got it.
Dumbest comment thread I have read.
insanely cool intro, thanks for uploading
I'll never forget the first time I played this as a demo from the xbox magazine.dont fear the reaper is a perfect song in this.
Still looks awesome!
wunderbutt of course ..the best game ever
Civilian 11 wasn't lying this is cool as shit
CV11 sends his regards
"You could have killed them!", As he's bludgeoning their bodies on the floor with a wrench
I remember watching my cousin play this as a kid back in the day and it freaked me out so much I've been trying to remember what the game was for years and finally figured out it was this!
Needs more cowbell!
man the sound of that thing is haunting. the super advanced technology involved is truly terrifying
6:46 that scream, they even manage to capture SCP 096 lmao
This intro is amazing.
I've played this game when I was 17. This game's story is amazing!, this is the real prey game!.
Bethesda: Hey, let’s make a sequel to this game and illegally not pay the employees enough so we can buy them out of existence and then wipe this game off the face of steam!
[Everybody Disliked That]
One of if not the best game intros ever.
I really liked this game but I never finished it, ima have to play through it again.
This is an absolute banger
Most underrated game ever
Civvie11 sent me here
Easily best intro to a game hands down.
It says living after midnight, that's "you've got another thing comin" from screaming for vengeance
Great Game very unique it's ashame they didn't make an actual follow up to it nonetheless to say the 2017 Prey game wasn't bad though either.
I remember watching my older brother play this as a kid. This intro went fucking hard. This shit REALLY made you afraid for an Alien Invasion.
Prey 2016: Stupid helicopter scene. Doesn't have Don't Fear the Reaper
Prey 2006: Get Abducted by aliens. Kill 2 assholes. Does have Don't Fear the Reaper
What nostalgic blast
I came here from civvie11 video on prey 2006
The best game ever!!
Let’s go save Jen!
To ,me it is the best PREY of all.

Why are Germans so soft now
@@nicholash1691as a German myself I’m not soft
Prey is one of the best xbox 360 games.
One of the best intro in the story of videogames
The fact that this mission is based on my home state I love it
♪"Laaaaaa La Laaaa Laa La"♪
If only prey "2" had anything to do with this story...
The real Prey 2 looked so fucking cool too. Space Bounty Hunter Sim.
6:55 you can see yorself looking around in the reflection.... that seem possible
Always listen to the token "old person".
They know something's not right.
dont fear the reaper

But Bethesda and every other games company/publisher are all s**t heads.
Definitely reminds me of the Stroggification scene from Quake 4
Now this is the real prey game not the Bethesda one
I wonder if they chose "You Got Another Thing Comin'" because it sounds a lot like the bar music from Duke3D's Raw Meat level
Here because of Civvie. Cool game
is this game any good ?
A classic. Love it
Way better than the new reboot
Thats like asking is beef from a cow of course it is
Cubbies was right? This is an amazing opening
I remember playing this game when I was 11 years old…. Wow! They don’t make them like they used to hahaha
where did you play this game on pc? it's not on steam.
Wait a minute, so there is somewhere a fully working game prototype of prey 2!? Don't give me hope(
Innuendo in the secret hidden places
1:57 The Stand opening combo 2:27 6:16 hehe
