Prey 2 Announcement On the Way and Bethesda’s Behind It [UPDATE]
It’s about time we hear something about that Prey sequel. The first game was released way back in 2006 and brought us gravity bending, alien butchering gameplay with creepy organic weapons and nasty vagina doors. I can only hope Prey 2 will have all that and more, but we won’t know until the next issue of French magazine Joystick (what’s up with the French gaming magazines getting all the exciting exclusives?? as it looks like the game will be their cover story.
I really enjoyed the first Prey so I’m amped to see what Bethesda does with the next installment in the series. Hopefully they polish the story a bit while retaining the horror vibes the first game had. So many games these days feature some sort of human on alien action but it’s rare for the aliens to be fairly terrifying. Prey was like Doom just with Native Americans and more interesting weapons. Head past the break to see the full cover and if you missed the first game but are afraid to Google search ‘vagina door’, I’ve included a screen of exactly what I’m talking about, also after the jump. 5/14 UPDATE: The game is being developed by Human Head Studios, uses id Software’s engine (the one Rage uses) and is aiming for a 2012 release date on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Awesome, now I hope you can stomach one of the more disgusting doors in video game history.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply saddened to learn that George A. Romero Foundation Founder and President Suzanne Desrocher-Romero has passed away.
GARF shared in a statement on socials, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Suzanne Desrocher Romero. Suzanne passed away of natural causes on June 24 at her home in Toronto after a prolonged illness.”
The statement continues, “Suzanne was the fierce leader of the George A. Romero Estate and The George A. Romero Foundation. She worked tirelessly to preserve George’s legacy. Her work at the foundation will continue to inspire and live on for generations to come. The family asks for privacy at this time.”
Desrocher-Romero founded GARF in 2018, after her late husband’s passing in 2017, and has been a fierce advocate for his legacy and the arts. It was her mission to “strengthen horror as a serious field of global study,” and she was a tremendous fighter on behalf of Romero’s works and supporting new filmmakers inspired by his legacy.
It was Desrocher-Romero who spearheaded the recovery and restoration of The Amusement Park, and, as the person in charge of the George A. Romero estate, worked closely with author Daniel Kraus on completing unfinished novels like Pay the Piper and The Living Dead. She most recently celebrated the restoration of her favorite of Romero’s zombie films, Day of the Dead, and was hard at work producing the upcoming film Twilight of the Dead.
That passionate advocacy led to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero becoming family to Bloody Disgusting as well.
2023 marked the start of an ongoing partnership between Bloody FM and GARF on The Dead, a scripted audio series spanning multiple seasons that saw Desrocher-Romero working closely with the Bloody FM team and mentoring the series’s contributing writers with GARF. To say her loss will be felt internally is an understatement.
“Anytime George Romero is mentioned is good, because what we are doing is to provide a healthy legacy. We’re uplifting his legacy, we’re supporting the archive, and we’re also supporting the Horror Study Center. So, all of these three things are what the Foundation is striving to do. As far as I’m concerned, the more we say George Romero’s name, the better it is,” Desrocher-Romero recently told BD.
It’s the perfect encapsulation of her unwavering enthusiasm for supporting Romero’s legacy and the horror genre, and just a glimpse at how much she contributed to preserving it. She is, in short, an inspiration.
We send our deepest condolences to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero’s family, friends, and GARF.
