It being a commercial bomb is probably the reason nobody's talking about it.

Could it be there was barely any advertising, and nobody hear plays prey for anything but to see how bad it is?

>>15861591

/thread. You answered your own question OP. Also isn't this just knock off prop hunt?

>>15861600

I tries to be a system knock-off but with space dykes and orange suit asians.

FUCK

>nobody's talking about it? What gives?!

Good, that's what bethesda deserves.

>>15861600

it is and it doesnt even work right. i checked out a few streams last night and when you turn into a prop you get a very visible micro-stutter that betrays you, also the animations of most of the props are janky as fuck when you try to move.

>>15861579

Weren't Dishonored 2 and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider also flops for Arkane? Between the last two Dishonoreds and nu-Prey I'm failing to see how Arkane continues to stay afloat and provide a freakin' multiplayer mode for nu-Prey a year and a half after the game initially launched.

I'm struggling to see how any of the other developers under Zenimax continue to stay afloat, really. Wasn't the most recent Wolfenstein game another flop? Hardly anyone bought it, but Machine Games is making another Wolfenstein. And The Evil Within 2 was a failure for Tango Gameworks, but those guys added in game cheats and a new difficulty to The Evil Within 2 a few weeks ago. How are these developers still around?

>>15861579

>>15861666

we have IDs

>>15861666

Talent pool. I think Zenimax actually understands the value of the people they got chained up, somewhat. Axe the studio, those people go to another studio under a different publisher, and they make games for them. Said studio gets the prestige and recognition of their work instead of Zenimax. That and bombing in today's age means not making 60x the cost in profit, which is ridiculous.

>>15861579

hey cuckchan

No advertising

Requires DLC that had no advertising

Is made by trannies

>>15861811

They're probably antifa trannies, so I'll drop it.

They cancelled prey 2 so I don't see why anyone should care about some shitty reboot. Go look at a trailer from this cancelled game and tell me that the concept of it didn't look 100x better than this game.

>>15861837

Honestly I think it would of been a flawed mediocre game that would been forgotten just like the orginal prey. Not saying by the numbers system shock clone is better.

>>15861862

Maybe today

In 2011 the Open World standardization wasn't a thing yet.

>>15861666

There he goes. He's talking to himself again.

>>15861870

He thought we wouldn't notice

>>15861862

Prey is easily the best id Tech 4 game, but that's probably faint praise to most. It was bullshit to see Human Head get fucked by Bethesda's inner politics just like it's bullshit to see that Bozo Harvey Smith take over Arkane. Look at how normalniggers splooge over a game as mediocre-looking as The Outer Worlds and tell me that Prey 2 wouldn't have been better.

Arkane and their games are overrated garbage.

>>15861890

>Look at how normalniggers splooge over a game as mediocre-looking as The Outer Worlds

It's Borderlands and by Obsidian so the story will be great and have mediocre great gameplay

But it's ok because I love the story of their nigger and faggot filled games.

Talent at Arkane? Dishonored and nu-Prey might be critical darlings but they don't amount to much more than creatively bankrupt regurgitations of Thief or System Shock. Though you're right that publishers have unreasonable sales expectations these days. You always hear Square Enix crying about their new Tomb Raider reboot not shifting enough copies but they still managed to dump out three core Tomb Raider games over the last half decade

>>15861923

>hating Dark Messiah and Arx Fatalis

Sorry you have shit taste I guess.

>>15861579

>A multiplayer mode for Arkane's Prey came out yesterday and nobody's talking about it? What gives?!

You know, I normally give anons the benefit of the doubt when it comes to games they like and want to discuss - but you are definitely a shill. Piss off.

>Prey’s multiplayer mode, Typhon Hunter, sounds like a perfect fit for the paranoia-inducing FPS. Launched yesterday, it puts one player in the shoes of Morgan, while three other players get to be mimics, using their shapeshifting abilities to hide from the gun-toting scientist. Unfortunately, players are reporting lots of issues.

Typhon Hunter was originally due out in the summer but it was delayed for six months. Despite the extended development time, it still seems bare bones, missing things like a tutorial, basic PC options or proper matchmaking.

One problem that keeps cropping up in user reviews is the poor communication options. You can’t turn off voice chat, you can’t mute other players and there’s no text chat. Being forced to listen to someone yelling in your ear for an entire match is certainly one way to build tension, but it’s the wrong kind.

While Prey was developed using the CryEngine, Typhon Hunter is an Unreal Engine game, and for some reason graphics and display options haven’t been brought over in the switch. Graphics settings are limited to four presets—ultra, high, medium and low—while support for ultrawide monitors also seems to have been lost. You also won’t be able to rebind your keys.

It doesn’t address all the problems, but playing with bots or in a custom game with pals at least lets you avoid listening to screaming strangers or hissing mics. The update also includes a singleplayer VR puzzle campaign set in Talos I before the events of the main game. VR multiplayer is in the works, too, due out early next year.

Typhon Hunter is a free update for everyone with the Mooncrash DLC.

tl;dr bruh look at this dood

>>15862432

>While Prey was developed using the CryEngine, Typhon Hunter is an Unreal Engine game

What the actual fuck?

>>15862438

yeah that got a double take from me

When the first I'm hearing about your game is on 8ch, you aren't advertising enough.

>>15861594

(Bethesda's) Prey was good, fuck you. Mooncrash however was shit, and I don't see why I would give a damn about multiplayer given the sort of game prey was and what made it good to begin with.

>>15862438

Probably because CryTech is going down while Epic is on the rise.

>>15862438

Isn't CryEngine terrible for online play? Isn't that why Star Citizen is such a fucking disaster? I mean among all the other awful decisions.

>>15861579

BEGONE SHILL

>>15862539

You'd figure star citizen would have enough money to just buy the source code to the engine and fix it

>>15861870

>>15861886

I was about to say "not an argument" but then I noticed.

>>15862569

I mean they hired some CryEngine guys to help them out, dunno how that went. They also outsourced one of the games to a company that was literally "we make awful games but they're online with CryEngine", only for them to make a shit game and they had to scrap it. This is why I think anyone who says Star Citizen is a scam is retarded, what's actually happening is everyone on the team keeps making terrible decisions only for it to turn out that the terrible decisions fucked them over hard.

>>15862583

Agreed. Star Citizen certainly isn't a scam, but it's a far too ambitious game made on an unsuitable and already poorly optimized engine. Not a scam, but everyone who dumps their money on this shit is still retarded.

Prey should do fine though. It's not an open world game, and any engine can be customized and optimized for online play. I don't believe it would be as difficult as making an online gameplay on Creation engine.

>>15862569

I thought they were on the Amazon fork now.

>>15862432

>While Prey was developed using the CryEngine, Typhon Hunter is an Unreal Engine game

…On top of which, Zenimax also owns their own top-end engine (id no longer licenses to other publishers!) from another acquisition, id Tech, which Arkane has even used in Dishonored 2.

>>15861579

You really shouldn't call them "Arkane." Arkane were the studio that made Arx Fatalis, that made Dark Messiah, and that were making The Crossing. They were a good developer who shouldn't have to share their name with Todd Howard's Arkane.

>>15862432

>hissing players

Lmao that sounds funny as fuck. I don't mind those players at all.

>>15861579

>it puts one player in the shoes of Morgan, while three other players get to be mimics

<DID PREY INVENT PROPHUNT?

<1vs3 prophunt

>>15864514

same, I actually really enjoyed nuPrey despite its flaws but if you can give me anything close to System Shock I'm happier than a pig in shit. But Dishonored 2 was a slog. I feel sorry for the people in the background that made the game because whoever was responsible for steering the story of that turd done goofed by letting commies and trannys try to current year it.

yes I know that prey had some of that shit in there too but god knows they were slapping you in the face with their girldick over it

>>15861666 (go away satan)

>Dishonored 2

>Dishonored: DOTO

>Wolfenstein

do you see a pattern? they're all woke games. They'll continue to produce these commercial flops as long as they feature political propaganda. Then they'll release another port of Skyrim to recoup the losses

>release Mooncrash

>A really fun soft roguelike where you are playing through the simulated memories rebuilt from damaged neuromods detailing a Typhon outbreak on the moonbase. Play through characters with different skill trees, stats and roles to get through the same issues different ways, but the corrupted simulation mutates so what might be easymode for a hacker might now be full of issues like radiation leaks or rooms on fire.

>Is a fucking great expansion for the game and every first person sim rpg could or rather should do the same thing

>Fucking nobody buys it or talks about it

>Release prop hunt clone

>Garys mod autists love it and screech about it.

Fuck all videogames forever.

>>15861579

why would you give a shit about a mediocre system shock clone?

>>15865664

Because for as bland as nu-Prey is, it's going to be the last competent System Shock clone that we're getting for a long while. Nightdive's System Shock remake and System Shock 3 will be rubbish, though I'm sure I don't need to remind you.

>>15868534

But you can play multiplayer for GTA3 and have been able to for atleast a decade, its just that people only play SAMP, Oni would be cool but how would sytem shock work?

>>15868493

the crossing was gonna be shit. Valve also had to do with that cancellation.

>>15868534

>>15868541

System Shock 2 has an official coop mode that was added in a patch and barely works most of the time.

>>15868534

Nice try arkane dev, the game was gonna be good and you just wont let anyone have it

>>15868551

I wonder if anyone has done a full playthrough of coop deus ex yet

>>15861579

>giving a shit about Nu-Prey after what Bethesda did to the studio that developed the first one

>giving a shit about a shitty Bioshock-clone that wants to be System Shock but has way too shitty of level design to make it interesting.

kys shill!

>>15869606

Bethesda are cunts, but that's not Arkane's fault. They just developed a game with the license they were handed. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just some other game they were cooking up, before Bethesda did what they did.

>>15869663

>I wouldn't be surprised if it was just some other game they were cooking up, before Bethesda did what they did.

It literally was, it was going to be called Typhon or something like that.

>?!

Shill.

>>15861579

>A multiplayer mode for Arkane's Prey came out yesterday and nobody's talking about it? What gives?!

It disgusts me you all gave this shill attention.

>>15869046

>coop deus ex

wait, WHAT

>>15861666

oy vey

>>15861579

Prey is a better System Shock than Bioshock was, but only plays weebshit and fad games: more people play VNs than shooters here.

To add insult to injury, the Prey 2 devs are all unemployed faggots who shill against this game like mad. Prey 1 was a 2nd rate Doom 3 clone

You can tell OP is some newjack who works in the game industry. You sound like a fucking faggot.

>>15878186

I don't remember system shock being filled with revolting gay tranny niggers.

>>15877945

Deus Ex received an official deathmatch mode and modding tools in a patch about a year after release. Following that, a number of abortive efforts at coop MP (both modding the original campaign, and coop-specific TCs) were made, but none amounted to anything beyond simple experiments.

>>15878186

Prey 2 was going to be a cyberpunk bounty hunting game, and looked super cool though.

>>15862438

Cryengine is on the brink of death at this point so many developers are abandoning ship for any other sustainable engine.

>>15878514

what's the most stable one and where do I find it?

>>15881295

Yes, looked super cool. You know the gameplay would have been nothing special.

>>15882156

I didn't play it, so I don't know that.

>>15882156

Everyone who played the e3 demo said it was good.
