Well let's hope it's more than just the thinly disguised corridor shooter full of monster closets and some nice perspective tricks that the first one was.
I enjoyed the first one too, I look forward to this. 
Was this made with the Doom 3 engine? I remember playing a bit and it looked good for the time?
I'm guessing this will be another ported console game though.

I liked the first game quite a bit. The spiritwalking bits were a little simplistic, but I guess they didn't have devtime to devote more effort into it. The game was years overdue already at that point.
What I liked the most was the scripting and voice acting for the main character. That was great. And the environments were quite creepy too. I liked those as well.

I don't know if the Prey that was released was late. It was not the original 3DRealms game. I think it was in development for about 4 years which isn't extraordinary. They just built a game on the Doom3 engine that is a lot like a typical Doom3-engine game but with some of the tricks that Prey was touted to have back in the '90s.

Yeah, the Prey that was released was just the original name and the basic concept of "native american saves the world after aliens invade". It's got nothing related to the original idea of the (at the time) advanced portal engine, or the original concept of the main character hunting and being hunted by single powerful and intelligent enemies through alien cities and environments.
3DR farmed out or sold off the IP for a ten year old concept to make a bit more cash while they tried to finish Duke4Ever. They simplified things, did some nice perspective tricks in homage to the portal tech being developed with the original game, but basically just made a Doom 3 corridor shooter with monster closets without so many dark levels as D3.

I look forward to seeing what they do with it. The trailer was fun.

Prey2 will be using idtech4 as well, although it will be highly modified like Brink.
If they have shared tech expect proper virtual texturing and so on.
What's with the Dudebro look of protagonist in every game these days?

My guess, it's bad focus testing. Devs should avoid it as Ken Levine said. But then again, his team succumbed to it as well.
From GAF:
Prey 2: Call of Prey.
Same happened with new SSX. Dammit.
mm... I remember playing the first one. I can't recall if I ever finished it. It was decent.
A shame they switched protagonists. The dying/resurrection thing was refreshing from just revert to save.
The Splinter Cell one is perfect.
