First Prey 2 Image. Hey…That’s Not Tommy!

Who is this guy!?  That’s not Tommy.  Where’s our long haired spiritual Native American mechanic turned alien slaying badass!?

Yesterday, Bethesda announced Prey 2.  Well…

The Swedish gaming magazine Game Reactor has Prey 2 as their new cover story.  However, on the front is a man we’ve never seen before.  Perhaps there’s a new protagonist?  Perhaps this is the new antagonist?  Or maybe it IS Tommy and he’s just umm… yeah, that’s not Tommy.  For those of who who don’t remember…THIS is Tommy:

So just who is this guy on the cover of Game Reactor?  I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.

    This cannot be Tommy, considering how the first part ended.

    No, that’s a different character… and it sucks! Just another white guy in a FPS. The first Prey unique and original and that’s because the main character. Tommy kind of had a personality, which is not something many shooter protagonists have. He had an identity crisis, he didn’t like living in a reserve. In a sea of lackluster, generic and forgettable military leads (usually some white guy), Tommy was a refreshing down-to-earth average Joe with a girlfriend and a grandfather that loved him dearly who worked in a bar on an Indian reservation. He was conflicted about his heritage, argued with his grandfather and girlfriend about following the beat of modern society, and generally behaved as far from a super space marine as possible. Sure, it was cool he was a minority, but even without his Cherokee heritage, he was still one of the most normal and relatable protagonists of any FPS ever created. He was just a normal man with normal problems, not some bald space marine in battle armor and the personality of a houseplant.

    Look at nearly every FPS of the past decade, and you find three variations of the same character: your wisecracking smart ass (Duke Nukem, Gears, Bulletstorm, most of the characters from Borderlands), your completely silent protagonist (Bioshock, Half Life), or your standard military or marine super soldier (Halo, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor). It was nice to see a game focus on a seemingly average, down to earth guy who is dealing with family and relationship problems and whose quest isn’t to save the whole world (again) but initially just to find his loved ones and survive.

    Prey 2 is going to suck!
