    Actually, in the future, wood paneling on space ships and stations would make a lot of sense, especially for rooms with a lot of plants in them - good for breaking whatever bad feelings you might get after living in what looks like a computer elsewhere for too long. Cities contain lots of trees and parks for a reason.

      I think we may run into issues similar to the pen/pencil issue. Organics are much more likely to give off small bits of whatever that can contaminate and cause issues with electronics. Bits of dirt, dust, tiny decomposing tissue etc. That being said, I am sure we would have figured that would before having a space station on this scale.

      You would never layer extra wood on a space ship. Also cities didnt come first the trees did. Cities destroy trees only after the fact do they try make up for it. So we can breath. The look of things doesn't outweigh the problems it creates. For ex wood on a ship is too heavy to be used.

      @@homesliceslices69 I think they were saying the wood paneling would be purely aesthetic. And weight wouldn't matter on a space station. On a ship made for entering a gravity field it would (wood) matter, but things would have to have already gone catastrophically wrong for a space station of this magnitude to be entering a gravity field to a point of a weight differential caused by wood paneling would be negligible. However I feel another direction we would go for space architecture would be some form of display, possibly holographic if the tech progresses enough to make it efficient and lifelike that would display scenes to give a small room the feeling of a wide open space.

    Prey is the game I recommend to people before trying to get them to play System Shock or Deus Ex. It's such a slick, modern take on the immersive sim genre that it's easily the best representation for gamers just starting to discover it. I spent too many hours on Talos I, and don't regret a thing. Thanks for covering this awesome game. Somehow I knew Strat-Edgy wouldn't sleep on this criminally overlooked gem.

    My first time playing through Prey, I was like "wow this game is cool! so many options" then watched this and I don't think we took any of the same routes in the first act of the game. Just reinstalled and played up to the first space walk section and I found even more ways to get through. I abandoned my first playthrough because I went further down the Typhon tree that I wanted to and turned the turrets against me with an engineer build, but I didn't even know the Typhon tree had blink in it. Full Typhon mod playthrough it is!

      If you invest in hacking, you can circumvent the turret issue entirely while still enjoying their protection. When Dahl shows up, if you already have hacking 4, he basically just hands you a free army of military operators. If you sneak beside the dispenser, you can hack them as soon as they spawn and won't have to waste parts fixing them.

    Can we all appreciate, for a moment, the incredible performance of Benedict Wong? he nails Alex's character so perfectly, the oxymoronic sincerity in the way he delivers his lies- the way he reminisces on his and Morgan's childhoods. It's something that suits Benedict perfectly when you look at his other roles, especially as Kublai Khan. I don't think they could've picked a better person for his role and ahis performance alone makes me think better of the game.

    I completely get where you’re coming from with the Typhon designs, but I think Arkane nailed it. They’re not very scary, sure, but the formless design gives them a Rorschach test look, which I think really feeds into the themes of the game.

    • @ToyokaX
      @ToyokaX 2 роки тому +37

      I don't think the game was really meant to be scary so much as it was meant to be unnerving/anxiety-inducing. Playing it for the first time and not knowing when a mimic will strike is the worst feeling (in a good way) when playing this game. Of course, once you know the gimmick, you're either playing super cautiously or going full rambo on every object you see (until you get the ability to identify mimic objects through scanning). After a while, it becomes less about the mimics and more about you handling your resources properly, both of which can be anxiety-inducing (imagine running low on metal to make more ammo for your weapons!).

      I just figured they were made of the coral strands, just not glowing. Like if you frayed apart a rope into all the strands, but they stayed together in kind of a cloud. Then when they die they become little balls of the strands curled up. Makes sense since they're all made by a weaver.

    • @Kizunaut
      @Kizunaut 2 роки тому +7

      Yeah I think the whole ink blot test look is fantastic, I really really like how the Phantoms, Mimics and Nightmare looks like. Phantoms in particular have some extremely unnerving quality to them, it's as if I'd seen one in a dream before, like Arkana tapped into some archetype that I didn't know existed and pulled it out. The Telepath, Technopath and Weawer designs are less exciting but I do apreciate how weird they are.

    • @greenhowie

    I hate how this game is so ignored or worse, misunderstood. The negative reviews really hurt. Sure its not a game for everyone, but it's a game for a lot of people. Anyone who likes Deus Ex or System Shock should easily love Prey. Or anyone who liked Bioshock but was disappointed that it was a linear game should be fucking thrilled Prey exists. I mean, it's quite literally what Bioshock was gonna be, like during the early trailers/interviews and vertical slices.
    Anyways I'm glad you covered it and I'm glad you really gave your opinions because a lot of people either say they love it or hate it and it's all or nothing.

    • @casanovafunkenstein5090

      It really didn't help that it took the name of a game that people were excited about (prey 2) and Bethesda basically destroyed a promising franchise (along with the developer) purely so that they could ultimately slap the name on a completely original project that had nothing to do with either the original or the sequel that had excited so many people.
      If this game had not been overshadowed by the publisher's crappy treatment of their development teams I feel that it would have been looked upon more favourably and could have made a better impression on potential players. The name of the game barely makes any sense at all with the second-hand IP (at least the original Prey was about aliens who used humans as a food source). If they called it something like Endless Morning at least that would have been thematically relevant and could be seen as a play on words that gives a subtle hint at the twist.

    You mentioned how stunning big enemies with the GLOO gun was a bit shit compared to the disrupter, which is fair enough for stunning, but one of my big revelations in the game was the power gravity had! You lure technos and telepaths up high and then just GLOO gun them, let them fall to their deaths, it was crazy effective. Speed impact in general worked well, in the space areas I'd GLOO them and race up to them and shotgun them in the face a couple of times, the impact of them hitting walls when they got launched by the shotgun would help out too.

    I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, so I'll bring it up because you claimed that Stims are more valuable than neuromods: There's a sidequest you can do in the life support area that makes the water give you back 50 psy points per sip. Almost every area in the game has at least one sink you can reliably get back to whenever you want, so once you complete this sidequest(Which you can do basically as soon as you get through the guts and bring the elevator down) you're pretty much a god as long as you hydrate constantly. This also means you have pretty much nothing else to use your exotic matter on BESIDES more mods.

    I love how you can playthrough the game completely without getting neuromods. (Like how you can playthrough Dishonored 2 without powers too).
    The Nightmare-Survival no-neuromods run is one of the most exhilarating gameplay experiences I've had.

    "Trolley problem" the game. :) It makes one wonder about this social ethical question, doesn't it?
    Interestingly, the game's expansion revolves around a story of saving a bunch of separate people from a moon outpost. But they must work cooperatively to reach the game's goal. I think devs try to give us some message through their works.

    This is an amazing christmas present.
    I remember watching your original prey video back when it was released and being super intrigued. I then promptly went and asked my parents if I could play it to which they said no (I was 14 at the time).
    Since I couldn't play it I kept on listening to your video so many times, to the point where even now I still remember half of those opening 30 minutes and it brings back chills whenever I hear those lines.
    I played the game myself a year or two ago just because of your video and it was amazing. I've played it multiple times since and it's one of my favorite games of all time. I didn't even consider the possibility of you making another video but seeing this pop up in my subscription feed makes me very happy and it is a great christmas gift thank you.

      Are you like a total casual or something? I too played on medium but after a while the game became a cakewalk and i dominated everything and had so much supplies even in maxed out slots over half space was taken by them. I also had 247 neuromods used (65 skills purchased) so that helped a lot (i played slowly as it took me 35 h to finish my first playthrough but i explored a lot). After few first hours it became quite easy. So how it was difficult for you? I rarely get why casuals have problems with games so im interested to see what points made you "hobble" though the game. Unless i misunderstood your comment.

  • @youngthinker1
    @youngthinker1 2 роки тому +3

    I played through Prey as a first person shooter with a focus on hacking and crafting. Yeah, crafting the neuro-mods allowed you to bypass some of the difficulty spikes, except, I failed to ever kill or damage a Nightmare without being killed quick fast and in a hurry. The ability to run through the last parts of the game, where the enhanced enemies swarm you, made things exciting and fun.
    As for my choices:
    Killed the fake chef => He murder everyone he ran into, and attempted to deceive me.
    Saved everyone else => More meat to the grinder to keep the aliens off my back, or provide back up.
    Caused the station to emit the psychic pulse => Exploding the station would not stop the aliens from coming. The pulses and the visions indicate a higher intelligence. An explosion causes an investigation, so more big aliens sent over. A psychic feedback to them, lets them know, we can fight. Hopefully, brings them to the table for talks. The old Greek proverb: "If you wish for peace, then prepare for war."
    In the ending scene, I felt tempted to kill Yu, because they basically experimented with my species. After some thought, if we could properly communicate, then maybe, we could of avoided said situation, however the lower lifeforms tend to be unable to do much other than procreate.
    From the research tapes and the like, I figured out a bit more about the Typhon. They consume our nervous system to reproduce, and need specific types of advance nerves tissue to do so. Never found records of Typhon consuming an insect.
    The doctor's nervous system illness provides a clue on an effective bioweapon against the Typhon. Her degenerative disease allows her to walk around the ship with little worry of Typhon attack. Since, we produce large amounts of bioweapons, and some specifically nerve agents, then it makes since to use these weapons on them. Shoot, I'd figure out how to kill them, after figuring out how to breed them off of lab grown nervous tissue. It would be the ultimate fail safe: a sprinkler system filled with the toxin.
    The last conclusion, is the Typhon, we see at least, exist as smaller components of a larger organism. Coral acts as the nervous system to this gigantic being, with the lesser Typhon acting as the circulatory, and immune system. Hence, these "cells" lacking a part of the being makes sense. From a scientific stand point, witnessing the completed being appear, a being the size of a planet, or a moon, then trying to understand it, would lead to multiple interesting theories and the like. The realist asks how to fight such a being, and how to communicate with it.
    Might be interesting to see these questions answered in a sequel or more likely, a book.

      It's too bad that the recycler has a limit to how many things it can recycle at once. I've once put a whole room's worth (and then some) of things into a small, tight room and it only ate up like 8-10 things :(
      It's unfortunately not very efficient either, but it's good when you're low on a particular resource (for me, it was either exotic material or metal).

    Lol, did you know that within the audio recording & prodduction community it is well known that reel to reel tape recording & playback is in fact the highest format of technological advancement atleast whenever it comes to audio fidelity. The analog format is free from recording through sampling rates, thus the audio recorded is literally fully fluent and precise as it can ever be.
    We have moved mostly to digital formats because it is just much more convenient for audio manipulation, playback & storing purposes.
    Also, messing with analog gear is much more of a pain to deal with than digital because it is much more sensitive and for it to work properly it has to be constantly taken care for & calibrated.
    Though, quantum computing seems to be on its way and allot of granular aspects of analog audio that digital can not capture I'm sure that quantum would, or at least I'd hope so.
    .
    So yeah, a world where scientists evolutionized reel to reel analog recording, playback & storing and stuff like that would actually be a world much more advanced than where we are currently at.
