By fitting the model to the experimental data of fish Pagrus major, we show that the model can clearly explain the observed multiple preferred ETs. The optimal ET was determined by maximizing the time difference of arrival at the edge of the safety zone between the prey and predator. Here, we constructed a novel geometric model that incorporates the time required for prey to turn and the predator’s position at the end of its attack. Although such a high ET variability may confer unpredictability to avoid predation, the reasons why animals prefer specific multiple ETs remain unclear. Previous geometric models predict a single ET however, many species show highly variable ETs with multiple preferred directions.

Judging only by the time it was released, it maybe doesn’t have the authentic depiction of Native American life or nuanced interrogation of masculinity and hunter/prey dynamics that the film does, but if you liked the film, surely it’s worth a shot? If it’s awful, you can always watch the movie again, fully dubbed in Comanche this time around.The escape trajectory (ET) of prey – measured as the angle relative to the predator’s approach path – plays a major role in avoiding predation.

It had portals before Portal – yes, shoot-throughy, teleporty, return-journey-y portals – and a variety of alien tech to take chunks out of your otherworldly enemies with.

I’ve not played it, but Prey looks like a pretty good game for something that came out in 2006. Besides, at this point that search probably only shows results for Arkane’s decidedly non-Native American game of the same title, although that might not have been the case when the film was pitched to producers back in 2016, before Arkane’s sci-fi shooter was released. I’m sure it’s one of those weird coincidences, and it’s entirely likely that the filmmakers weren’t even aware of the 00s game (which appears more inspired by Alien than Predator anyway), but a quick Google of their potential title would have likely yielded a result that was unerringly similar to their prospective film. But the fact they have the same title puts the weird cherry on the cake. Tommy and Naru both using the alien’s own weapons against them is also the natural course of such a coming together. Pitting a Native American character against extraterrestrials is not so unique that I’m accusing the film of plagiarism or anything like that. But for a film with the exact same title as a game released 18 years prior, there are a surprising number of parallels. There are differences, Tommy is Cherokee whereas Naru is Comanche, the game is set in the modern day rather than the 18th century, and Tommy fights hundreds of aliens on their own spaceship rather than battling one xenos hunter on Earth. There’s also a bunch of stuff about separating your spirit from your body to pass through doors and come back to life and stuff, but the basic premise is strangely similar to the 2022 Predator film of the same name. Unlike Prey (Arkane) – which was, again, inspired by the 2006 game in title alone – Prey saw a family of Native Americans abducted by an alien spaceship, and you (Domasi ‘Tommy’ Tawodi) must fight your way out.
