id Owner ZeniMax Obtains Prey Rights
by Chris Faylor, Sep 08, 2009 10:40am PDTZeniMax Media, the parent company of Doom creator id Software and Fallout 3 developer Bethesda, has now acquired the rights to the gravity-bending shooter franchise Prey.
While the company has yet to make an official statement, superannutation dug up a document that shows Radar Group transferring ownership to ZeniMax in July, backing up an overlooked report from Duke4.net. More recently, ZeniMax registered the Prey trademark under video games, books, movies, and television shows.
The first Prey (PC, X360) made it to stores in 2006 care of Human Head, which had worked with then-property owner 3D Realms on the long-in-development project. A sequel was later announced by Radar Group--a so-called entertainment incubator formed by 3DR exec Scott Miller--but nothing has been said since. Going by the USPTO, Radar handed the rights to ZeniMax within a month of getting them from 3DR.

The multiplayer was tacked on and very shitty I would agree to that. But ultimately if I were to only grade it on the singleplayer campaign then it is a game that presents many new and creative gameplay elements never before seen in games preceding it, is backed by a great story line and ingeniously executed on the technical side of things.
I'd LOVE to see a sequel to Prey!

BTW, If you own it for the Mac and haven't played it in awhile install it after you install Snow Leopard to see some MAJOR improvement in frame-rate.
I'm still blown away that the thing even saw the light of day.
