I can't wait for Prey from Arcane Studios the same way like I can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077 from CRPROJEKT if that makes sense. Basically I have total trust in what they can pull off while it's great to see them venture into a completely different setting.

Haha "Prey is a very good name for a game. It is succinct and easy to remember and it captures the essence of the game’s themes even without any reference to the original Prey IP." I mean, it's not like it wasn't already obvious but it's funny to hear directly from the devs that the game's name is pretty much pure marketing and there's no connection with the original whatsoever other than 'both are sci fi'.

I really liked Prey 2006, it was great. I didn't get any hype for the cancelled Prey 2. I'm looking forward to this Prey a lot. It's still mildly amusing to me that this game that obviously takes place in a different gameworld is called Prey because marketing. They could have called it Dead Space and it would have as much in common with that franchise as it has with Prey 2006.

It should have been called Space Shock or something. Preyshock, Coffeeshock, 1 Cup 1 Shock.

No key resellers are legit, there are just some not known enough for devs to bother writing about. You can buy from them at your own risk but please don't post about them or link them, thanks.

I think Prey 2006 was a good game. I remember its gravity gimmick being way cooler and more prominent than portals but people remember the latter because of Portal. It's a game that doesn't need a sequel though and hasn't left a legacy that can be ruined or whatever so a reboot is more than welcome. I'll take another attempt at reimagining System Shock no matter how it's called.

Yeah, Bethesda's marketing division is legendarily inept at selling games they publish or even recognizing what those games actually are. A series known for crazy fast action? Let's take it slow and show you this hell level really carefully and now it's time to focus on non-interactive finisher moves. A game focused on exploration and giving you a variety of tools for emergant gameplay? Let's show none of that and instead shoot some headcrabs, pew pew pew.

I'm optimistic about Prey's PC performance because it doesn't run on Dishonored 2's engine but on Cryengine which has been proven as trustworthy time and time again in many games.

This game isn't good, it's freaking amazing. There's so much optional stuff to get lost in and there are always cool rewards for exploring. Piecing together the story and filling-in the blanks and details owns as well. There's still a question how the game plays later on but so far it's pretty much the next big thing.

I like the little touch where you look through a telescope and see a corpse drifting in space in front of a space billboard and then a few hours later you can actually get to that corpse.

Prey 1's strongest gimmick was the gravity changing while portals were not present in the game that much. There was also the spirit mode and there were some simple puzzles combined with it (plus a cool game over mode). Overall the combat was pretty tight and I thought that it was a sweet game for the time. It had a horrific final boss though.

I'd say it's on par with Alien: Isolation when it comes to scary elements. It's not really horror but it's tense and there'll be jumpscares but that's it.

I love this game but I can't get over how much the hacking minigame sucks. I know that hacking sucks in most games but here it's way more jarring when you experience it in stark contrast to how much attention was given to everything else, ability interactions, permutations etc. It's just so mundane that it feels like nobody thought about its mechanics at all - they were late for a deadline, somebody threw an idea at a meeting and they went straight to developing it.

Anyway kinetic blast loving owns. I killed 5 mimics in a room with a single one and when used on phantoms it instantly knocks them out for a lazy finisher with the pistol. Something's telling me that fully upgraded powers absolutely break the game. Is remote manipulation useful for anything in the game? It feels like gloo gun + the much more multipurpose (not mentioning cooler as a mechanic) morph ability leave not much for it to accomplish.

Yes, sequence breaking that is acounted for makes it so much more impressive.NoEyedSquareGuy posted:Is there a way to break the DRM on fabricating neuromods without upgrading hacking to level 4? There seems to be no way into that room besides the giant door with the broken keypad on it.

System Shock comparisons don't come from horror elements, 'horror' wasn't a defining System Shock characteristic. It comes from the nature of level design, the variety of approaches to combat, the interactions between gameplay systems, the depth in which RPG elements are used in the game. The sci-fi space station setting also helps. I too see things inspired or filtered through Bioshock in this game but Bioshock mainstreamed the System Shock formula to a point where it stopped mattering and felt like a corridor shooter with a couple of systems thrown in for variety while Prey takes it back to its roots.

When it comes to suit repair kits for the life of me I can't understand why you can't use them from the action wheel. You can trigger medkits and psi hypos there but to fill the third bar always visible on your screen you have to go to the inventory. It doesn't make sense.
