I'm stoked for any Prey-related news, and for anything that Arkane might come out with. They do great stuff.

In the latest group pic on the Prey twitter feed (it’s “Prey Day”) there’s someone holding a calendar with June 10 marked. That’s a Sunday

Yeah it's Bethesda's E3 conference.

I'm sure Arkane would love to, not so sure Bethesda would be interested. Though I wasn't expecting DLC either.

It would be much scarier if they used telepathy so you only heard the Jaws theme

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

My only real misgiving is that I wasn't a big fan of the Dishonored DLCs for various reasons, chief among them that they changed / slimmed down mechanics (I also found Death of the Outsider's scavenger hunt vision exhausting and dull). I want more of what I'm getting with Prey, not more-from-less.

My hope against hope is that they'll at least patch in a survival mode for the core game (a real one, unlike the mod hacks out there now). They did much the same with Fallout 4 but, obviously, F4 probably made more money in its first few hours of release than Prey has in the 9 months it's been out.

If you remember the handful of status effects in the current game, there were originally going to be a lot more of those and their mechanics were more in depth.

Include the need to poop. Adds two new Typhon:

1. Mimics that can emulate toilet paper.
2. When a Typhon Weaver encounters some poop, it creates a Poop Phantom.

It's not hunger, it's traumatic injuries that require treatment more elaborate than just medkits. Radiation and fear are examples still in the game, but bleeding, blindness, concussions, fractures and burns are all more or less implemented and just need to get plugged in to work.

They sound kind of annoying at first, but when I played with the mod that reenabled them I actually liked it a lot. They can put you in incredibly dicey situations and drain your inventory of organic material that would otherwise be spent on medkits. That stretches out the span of the game where you're just barely scraping with resources for much longer, which means you end up approaching certain situations much differently.

The number of break rooms in Talos 1 also begins to make much more sense.

Oh I guess I encountered that, actually. But I killed 90% of all weavers with my deathray gun before they could actually shoot me so I guess that's why I barely noticed.

Voltaic phantoms and technopaths were the bane of my existence if I hosed up and got hit by their electric attacks, though :haw:

They bump the contrast of the image if you're close to them but they don't induce the actual condition like the Weaver's glow shell does.

I got Fear when I first encountered a Nightmare and got in close with it. I also got it when I tried to Psychoscope the Apex Typhon - that defeated the fear-immunity chip and also put me at death's door.

Game devs don't just announce things anymore, it has to be an arg leading up to an announcement and then another arg leading up to the release of the thing. Thanks Portal 2 :geno:

But this just seems horribly paced if there's no follow up. You don't usually drum up buzz only to go radio silent as things are getting interesting. Especially not when you're this niche.

Well the other half of that is they probably can’t release it early, so if they announce the DLC now 3 month’s before we get it, they’ll eclipse their own hype. If hey wait until it’s a month away to announce it, we’ll care more at the right time and pre-order something we otherwise might have already forgotten about.

There's going to be something. Maybe just dlc, or a standalone like Death of the Outsider, or even a full sequel (probably not), but there is definitely something in development.
