Arkane is yet to make a game that isn't amazing. I wonder if Prey is going to be an exception or not. Normally I would only be worried about optimization of the PC version, considering that Dishonored 2 was the worst optimized game I've ever played, but I upgraded my PC recently so that shouldn't be an issue. I do wonder though if maybe Prey is being made by their "B-Team" that might not be as good as their "A-Team" that made all the good stuff. That's my only concern. Otherwise I would've pre-ordered it right away.

I haven't played the Demo, since it's not on PC but let me get this straight. You can pickup all the random garbage to make crafting materials out of it. The main enemy type can hide as any random garbage to spook you. Is that right? I might have to buy myself a pair of brown pants to wear while playing this.

Haruhater posted:So just a heads up: if you check out the thread on NeoGAF about this demo you will learn quite a number of things: To be fair NeoGaf is heavily HEAVILY moderated and you can easily get IP banned if you disagree with a mod about anything at all so I don't think that people who are primarily posting there are the "average gamers".

The biggest thing Bethesda could learn from Arkane is how to make good level design that isn't some variation on "a bunch of dudes in an empty corridor" or "a bunch of dudes in an open field".

I'm still not sure if I want to get this one or not. On one hand there haven't been an Arkane game that wasn't amazing but on the other hand I'm a massive pussy and this whole "we'll punish you with jumpscares for your OCD" mechanic will probably give me a heart attack eventually.GET MY BELT SON posted:Gunplay was a little too wonky for me. Ended up wasting far more ammo than i should have. Think i'm gonna hold off on this one. I heard that the console version doesn't have autoaim. I imagine that the issue.

Incidentally, separate regional release times seem to be a thing with Prey. So from what I can tell, New Zealand will get their Steam copies unlocked in about 24 hours. So impatient people could VPN it in theory.

It's called Prey and yes, the devs said that they called it that because it sounded good and for no other reason.

Huuuuh... The game is a tad smaller than I thought it would be. I know that pre-loads are compressed but still. Dishonored was like twice that size.

Mr. Fortitude posted:It's good to know it's been fixed now but it also shouldn't have released in that state either. It hasn't been fixed still. I waited several months trying to play Dishonored 2 on my GTX 960 back then and it was impossible to squeeze out acceptable performance on any settings. I had to upgrade to a 1060 specifically to be able to play it.

Deus Ex: MD's was actually fixed within two weeks or something, unlike Dishonored 2. I was at least able to play it on a GTX 960 with reasonable performance after the first big patch.

GTX 1060; 1080p/Max Settings; Lowest fps I get in the apartment is 85. It doesn't say a lot but it seems to be at least better than Dishonored 2 in term of performance. I don't think any place in it gave me 85 fps.

They were literally playing PC version of Prey on stream yesterday with no issues. I think the problem is not with the game but with Steam distribution. They probably messed something up when it comes to players downloading the correct localization files from Steam.

HOLY poo poo! The thing you do the second time you wake up in your apartment is so cool visually. It a really neat effect. Also incidentally, the same effect they used in Dishonored 2 would put an enormous strain on my machine but in Prey the framerate is super stable even on max settings.

Dang! When I went up to climb into the chopper at the start of the game I took the portable lamp with me and dropped in into the helipad. When the chopper arrived to a different building the same lamp was there too in the same place. At first I thought it was a weird coincidence but alas, it was not. That's so cool.

Anti-Hero posted:DH2 had audio mixing issues, too. Never got fixed, either. I don't remember noticing any audio mixing issues in DH2 and I finished that game 3 times. Prey's audio mixing is really distracting though. It's insane how loud some of the audio cues are compared to everything else and not even even the jump scare cues either.

What's the deal with the game raising image contrast every time you fight a mimic? Like every time I get into a fight with a mimic, somehow everything gets darker and results in mimics blending into literally any surface. Is that a game mechanic or an unfortunate visual effect or what? I cannot see what I'm fighting. EDIT: Also jesus loving christ, the "objective updated" sound isn't supposed to startle the player more often that god drat enemies. Why is it so freaking loud and sudden?

The combat was extra good until the point where you get an actual gun. I accidentally took the longest possible route to the Pistol and had to fight a whole bunch of Phantoms using nothing but the wrech, gloo gun and tazer and it was pretty loving great. There are a whole bunch of environmental hazards you can exploit, especially with the gloo gun which lets you make them stay put while you're setting up some exploding canisters or rupturing toxic pipes.
