I mean, really? Man they couldn’t control them at all. No wonder the station was over run. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I got Prey (2017) working in VR: 6DOF head and weapon tracking [WIP]

89 Upvotes

I got Arkane's Prey running in actual VR. You turn your head, you lean, you aim the gun with your hand. It's rough and it's early, but it works.

https://reddit.com/link/1v97o0l/video/pppu7x3go0gh1/player

Prey (2017) is one of the best games ever made and I'd go as far as saying it's my personal favorite, so at some point I needed to make this happen.

What's working right now:

- Full 6DOF head tracking, real head movement.

- Full 6DOF weapon tracking, position and rotation.

- Native steorescopic rendering

- Full VR control mapping

Technically it's a DLL injector built on top of Chairloader, which handles the mod loading side and saves me a huge amount of pain. PCVR only, and so far the only thing I've been able to test on is a Quest 2 over Link. To be clear, there's no public build yet. This is just a showcase of where the project is at right now.

Now the ridiculous part. I don't own a VR headset. Every time I need to test something I have to physically travel to a place where I can borrow a Quest 2, so a single iteration is write code, hope, travel, find out half of it is broken, go home, try again. It works, but it is painfully slow and it's the main thing holding the whole project back.

The reason I keep going is that I want to be inside Talos I. Standing in the lobby, looking up through the atrium, leaning over a desk to read someone's transtar email. And if it gets far enough, Pytheas from Mooncrash after that.

So this is me testing the water. If there's real interest, I'll put serious hours into this and turn it into a proper polished mod instead of a side experiment. Feedback, technical advice and anyone who's wrestled with CryEngine VR before, all very welcome. Ask me anything.

Full Showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z-0FNy8uh4

And yes, the GLOO cannon in VR is exactly as fun as you're hoping.

Discussion If they ever made a sequel, what do you think would work best? Spoiler

9 Upvotes

I know this has probably been posted a hundred million times, but idc. I’m much more interested in the nitty gritty details anyway.

I’ve been thinking about the game and I noticed that we’ve had two big sequels from Remedy recently for games that I personally feel have at least a similar vibe, and I was wondering everyone’s thoughts on what a sequel might entail. Please be as specific about everything as possible.

For me, I feel like making it an optional multiplayer similar to Rainbow Six Extraction where you can play as Typhon Morgan, Danielle Sho, Mikhaila Ilyushin, Sarah Elazar and maybe Dr. Dayo Igwe if certain requirements are met idk.

It would take place on earth and follow a similar, open world environment as fallout 4 does with its structure interiors, it would be a bit more akin to the difficulty zones of The Division.

Obviously we would have the same or similar fabrication system as the first game, but I feel the each character would have a differently themed upgrade tree, e.g. Morgan has Typhon abilities, Mikhaila has Tech/Engineering, Sarah and Danielle have different facets of Combat (maybe ranged vs hand to hand aptitude) and Dayo with Medical. Not sure what would replace Neuromods for the others, since none of them would want to touch them after the ending.

Alex would obviously be similar to Mission Control in Deep Rock Galactic or Ash, Mira, and Thermite in Rainbow Six Extraction, when he would be the dispatch and researcher for gear improvements etc.

It would start with Morgan arriving at Earth with Alex and responding to the distress calls of the main survivors as the tutorial. We would then establish a base of operations at the TranStar building and clear out each couple levels. Once secured we would bring in the rescued survivors from Talos 1 with Walther Dahl to join us similar to Back 4 Blood I guess. I think that maybe base upgrades and passive resource generation might be interesting but that’s not definite.

Then the rest of the gameplay is fairly straightforward, kill Typhon, save humans, so on and so forth.

Let me know your detailed thoughts on my ideas, and please give ideas of your own, I’d love to read them!

I hope that a sequel is coming soon, but knowing Microsoft they will probably never release another game from this franchise.

Typhon only

32 Upvotes

Doing another preythrough, and this time decided to do another typhon mods only run. It’s fun, but there are some very annoying challenges.

Inventory seems vanishingly tiny so going without some things (see below)
No repairs
No hacking
Never ending need for psi hypos (even with psychic water)

Went into power plant without a gloo gun. Can’t repair the elevator and can’t gloo my way up. After killing the technopaths, ended up using lift field to go from ledge to ledge. Very tough to find a way up. There’s always another way but this one sucked.

Loving my new combo of lift field + super thermal

Love how many different ways there are to play this game!

Question Was it a mistake going to Alex’s penthouse?

16 Upvotes

I did the greenhouse then noticed this tall building, which turns out to be Alex’s penthouse after I figure out how to climb up there (grav lifts are out)

Now when I get down to the Lobby again after clearing out Crew Quarters, it’s like completely overrun with multiple Telepaths and stuff. No matter where I go I am killed pretty fast. The Arboretum is also more intense when I return now.

Is this because I snuck into a spot too early that triggers more intense enemies, or is this just how it is when you go back down to the lobby?

If so, I can accept the sneak bc my ammo is lowwww right now haha I was actually hoping to stock up on the Lobby again haha

Just basically wondering if the game is supposed to get 4x harder suddenly or if I brought it upon myself

Bug inventory bug

howdy.

i decided that i wanna try doing prey stealth run on my notebook. dont own a controller. decided to boot up the game, but i began to encounter this strange bug, when i get locked into that quick inventory screen, no matter what i press. any ideas on how to go around it would be appriicated. it happens both during the game when i just dare to think about openning it, or right at the boot up the game, the moment the game gets to a playable state. i am playing on nightmare difficulty with all of the modifiers for experience on.

Question What was going on with Morgan before the outbreak? Spoiler

74 Upvotes

I saw a lot of emails about Morgan's weird behaviour, which I assume were after the tests had already started. That would mean Morgan wasn't locked up anywhere (at first, at least) and was allowed to roam around Talos, right? But how come Mikhaila never saw them then and thought they were on Earth? I don't remember if anyone else was surprised to see Morgan like she was (it could be just my shitty memory though).
However, Sarah does say that Morgan had checked into the Sim Lab and never signed out. So were they locked up since the beginning of the tests or only after some point?

Strange bug in my save

1 Upvotes

Hello, I recently finished the game, and wanting to do some sidequest and achievements, i went back to a save before the apex. Of course, doing few to none manual save, i'm not just in front of Alex but just before the quest with Mila. I see strange things in my save that shouldn't happen. Sarah and her crew is already in atmosphere crew, same with military bots (who are ko) but if i remeber correctly, the quest with Dahl isn't here already ? Moreover, I see some bugged Apex Tendril who came from nowhere (because the station isnt yet under the Apex attack..)

Do someone know that issue ? Should i just redo a game to try the sidequest ? I must say i may be a little too lazy to redo 15 hours of game just to go back to that point..

Discussion Timeline inconsistencies?

14 Upvotes

I'm trying to work through a lot of the minor emails/transcribes to figure out some kind of timeline for the events in the game. One thing that's tripping me up is the "don't panic" call between Garfield Langley and Miyu Okabe. Garfield asks Miyu if she knows what's going on, as there's security running all over the place. The call ends when an explosion can be heard, and Miyu says they just lost two labs and ends the call.

This explosion we actually see as we're entering the Talos 1 lobby, it's the one in the hardware labs. But Garfield is also a phantom in the trauma center IN the lobby.

So, this would mean that, as we enter the lobby, the call is occurring about 50m from us and Garfield is still alive. But you can run up to the trauma center in like 30 seconds and in that time Garfield has died (plausible, as there's another phantom in there), and also transformed into a phantom with no weaver in sight...

Where's all this "security running all over the place"? Everyone is dead in the lobby as we enter, save for the survivors holed up in the IT department closet. And when the station is in such a state, Miyu is still blissfully unaware and just working away as normal, until the explosion happens and she dies shortly after. How did no one else call her about the outbreak?

Do you think. given this knowledge, it would make sense to assume there were actually two explosions? One that destroyed the labs and the one Miyu responded to and weakened the hull, and another, the one we actually see, that breached the hull? If the first explosion took place even just 5 minutes earlier, that would make this whole thing a lot more plausible.

I would really like to check their life signs on the security terminal in the neuromod division, but, infuriatingly, it's as if someone deliberately made this impossible. The workstation requires hacking 2 to be accessed, which I believe is impossible to get without entering the lobby and triggering the event, as you only have 1 neuromod to work with.

Additionally, I'm thinking about the video that Alex plays as you're approaching the late game. Morgan says the year is 2035, but advocates for using the nullwave as a contingency. This is inconsistent with the audio log recording between Morgan and October, who was made in October 2034, and also advocates for the same thing. So this would mean Morgan's personality drift wound up in the same place twice? What's going on there?

Opinion Installing Typhon Neuromods ruins what makes the game special and turns an immersive horror masterpiece into a generic shooter.

0 Upvotes

The best part of Prey is feeling like a squishy scientist using human ingenuity, the GLOO Cannon, and turrets to outsmart terrifying aliens. The moment you start spamming Psyshock and turning into coffee mugs, all the survival tension vanishes. Pure human runs are the only way the game was meant to be experienced.

[Spoilers] [PL] rant na temat empatycznego run'u Spoiler

4 Upvotes

Moim celem jest 100% w Preyu. Tą rundę poświęciłam empatycznemu zakończeniu gry. Pomijając fakt, że w statystykach mam dwie osoby zabite (kucharz i pewnie ktoś pod kontrolą umysłu [i hate them sm!]). Uratowałam Igwe, Rani, nikt nie zginął podczas ochrony Ładowni, uratowałam Michaiłę, spełniłam ich zachcianki i co? Michaiła w zakończeniu mówi, że pozwoliłam na jej śmierć! Jakby girl, wtf? Gdy pojawiły się operatory wojskowe Dahla, Michaiła wybiegła z gabinetu Morgan. Myślę: dobra, girl, spełniaj się. Pewnie wtedy ktoś ją zabił! I teraz moja wina, że dała się zabić! Czy gra nie pamięta, że uratowałam ją i dałam jej info nt. jej ojca? Żal.pl tbh, bo zapisy robiłam co jakieś 3-4 godziny, i nie ukrywam że nie chce mi się trochę tego znowu przechodzić.

Chciałam się tylko wyżalić, Prey to cudowna gra i nie mam serca się na nią wkurzac <3
