Currently, mine just says it can’t connect to Steamworks and gets no further. Anyone else having that issue? I would expect the game to fall back to offline mode at least, but even with Steam in offline mode, I get the same error.
Oh damn, I didn’t realize this was out of EA. I impulse purchased it a couple years ago and it felt pretty lackluster, but I recognized it had a lot of potential so I shelved it rather than refund. Looks like they’ve added a ton of content and gameplay changes, so I’ll definitely check it out again. Hopefully they implement native controller support, as it seems like a perfect candidate for Steam Deck (yes, I know about Steam Input configs, but those are sometimes pretty hacky and don’t feel all that great in a lot of games).
I haven’t played since the first couple months it came out in Early Access. It was a lot of fun, but there was nothing to do in the end game. I’m curious if they’ve added end game content that keeps it replayable.
Good choice, a favorite of mine as well. In the middle of the night when I’m supposed to be sleeping with a theme that often makes no sense in reality but I’m bought in 100% anyway until my alarm goes off.
Exactly! I spent an entire night playing a football game over and over in my head that didn’t happen and wasn’t important to the team. But John Elway just could not throw for a first down to save his life…
One of my all time favorite games. The only thing that would have made it better for me is a time-based story a la Dead Rising. Though that would have probably made the game even less successful than it was.
Prey was the true successor to Deus Ex and system shock. Its a miracle of technical design with one interconnected world that the gamers always say they want. Fun powers, a trippy story that demands to be seen through.
There's a port of the game that runs on Quest and Pico VR headsets that's dope as hell. Officially comes with the demo version and requires pulling files from the PC version to get the full game which is a bit difficult to get legit at this point, though there are other ways. https://github.com/lvonasek/PreyVR
We were going to be badass BOUNTY HUNTERS on an ALIEN PLANET and it would’ve been so fucking cool! I loved the original game, I love Prey 2017, but I’m salty we never got the 2 they revealed.
“Remembering Prey”? The game is 7 years old, and has a release on current gen consoles. The nostalgia cycle is starting to spiral in on itself. Get ready for “Remember Baldurs Gate 3” next month.
If we want to talk about a game that is about ready for a nostalgic revival, featured unique gameplay for the time, told a story with interesting lore, and had the potential for interesting sequels, let’s remember Prey (2006). Also, it had a bus full of evil ghost kids on a spaceship. Can’t beat that.
Prey is barely functional on modern systems. They never had a PS5 update and it barely hits 30fps there. The PC version is quite buggy and crashes for many.
I try to replay it every once in a while and just give up. It’s unfortunate.
I don’t know if Prey is my favorite game of all time, but it’s on the short list. I can, however, say that it is the game that most fills me with awe. Talos 1 is an extraordinary playspace filled with incredible detail, choice, style, and diversity. The narrative, possibly the weakest element of the game, still packs in a lot of cool ideas and genuine surprises.
Prey also contains by far my favorite opening “level” of all time. Without spoiling, the immediate tonal shift, the creepy mystery, the complete recontextualization of your first 10 or 15 minutes, it’s an absolute spectacle.
In a perfect world, all these devs get absorbed by WolfEye Studios or something and they get a bunch of funding to make another massive masterpiece.
I only played until my first encounter with the enemy that hunts you, for some reason I couldn’t get past that dude or escape and got frustrated enough to give up
The Nightmare Typhon that has a timer? That sucks. I don’t remember having too much trouble in my first playthrough - I have memories of just hiding in a bathroom that it was too big to enter until the timer ran out for one of the encounters. But I can imagine that if you’re in a particularly bad area when it comes for you it could cause problems.
It really did fuck things up which is depressing. The game was a masterpiece of an immersive sim and the atmosphere of the whole game is like no other. With a different name, I think it could’ve sold better. Even I avoided it because I was mad about Prey 2 being canned and the reused name, until I saw Markiplier play it and fell in love almost immediately. Such a beautiful game that deserved better.
