Yes, Prey is awesome.

However I made the mistake of also playing Doom 2016 at the same time so whenever I switch back to Prey it feels like I'm playing a game with auto-walk permanently on.

I'm upset I slept on Doom for so long. Play on Ultra-Violence, I thought it would be frustratingly balanced but no this is ideal difficulty for the game.

e: checkpoints suck though. Please outlaw checkpoints in FPS games tyia

Well the shooting is also really flimsy feeling in Prey but it's a totally different game approach that just happens to share a camera perspective. I imagine playing both at the same time would be disorienting though

I wish it was anything close to that instead of the reality of "hey we don't want to pay rent until you actually fix this place up and pay to get pest control to remove the bed bugs, also, stop acting like the bed bugs will go away if we put our belongings in a bag for 2 days, that's not how this poo poo works" and her response was to try and sic her dog on me and calling us rats and parasites because she was convinced we actually had 2 apartments and she was just letting us stay there out of the goodness of her heart and that we were being unfair to her by not giving 6 months notice before moving and also stealing all of our electronics and valuables and acting like she didn't take them even though her boyfriend was trying to give them back to us and then when we had to go in with a police officer (who really didn't like helping us and we had to pull teeth to get him to come along because he said it was our fault for renting there and that he doesn't care that she stole from us) to retrieve our stolen electronics and valuables, there were several missing or damaged beyond repair and her excuse was that some else had kicked in the door and taken those particular items, and then she asked if we happened to get back a jewelry box that belonged to KCB because the landlord was all "hey uhhh I put some of my..friend's medication in there... do you have that still, my friend really needs it" but we'd already dumped the contents because it was just filled with drugs and we were just so completely livid and pissed off that

It's weird that the thing no System Shock alike copied were the various speed boosts. The first game has Jet Set Radio electric skates which is awesome and maxing agility in SS2 gives you Doomguy speed.

The OSSC is cheaper, but also the people that made those sound really excited about a thing they're getting ready to sell called a RetroTink 2x which takes composite, s-video, or a component source to HDMI and is like a third the cost of an OSSC and doesn't need you to mod your console.

They only have signups for preorders at the moment, so it's not available to sell yet.

But yeah don't use cheap scalers. If your tv has component, you can usually plug composite cables into it. It won't be great but neither are most cheap solutions and this is free.

The OSSC is great if you want to add scanlines to older consoles, and emulates a CRT display pretty flawlessly. The new device is much cheaper but only does basic linedoubling. It doesn't accept composite but does take SCART and adaptors for the latter cost like £1.

Prey doesn't have any BFG-type uber guns because TranStar doesn't want their space stations taking excessive damage.

Maxed Mobility lets you run at a decent clip and jump like eight feet in the air, which I wish Doomguy could do sometimes.

you want a framemeister or nothing
IMO having gone through this a year or so ago, the UltraHDMI mod is your best bet even if it is a bit of a nuclear option. Of course if you can get it to run fine on your TV with either a Framemeister or OSSC that's probably going to be cheaper/easier (but still requires a RGB mod).

In that time period, yes boards were released, but as you might expect right now they're sold out again (at least on retrofixes which is where I got mine done). I had my ear to the ground for a fair while and IIRC got the update asking for pre-orders from the retrofixes twitter account.

E: Looks like retrofixes had preorders up as recently as April of this year
