There are no HUD options.

Motion Blur is not optional.

No FoV slider. edit: Apparently you can tweak the FoV in game.cfg

Many people are reporting stuttering issues.

You can turn off motion blur in game config

Seems like this is out on Steam, although there's no official announcement post yet.

For anyone interested in Chris Avellone involvement in Prey, interesting read :

Also lead designer Riccardo Bare claiming his favourite game of all time was Planescape Torment. Incline.

People on the Steam forum said the stuttering is caused by the latest Nvidia driver, and it's fixed if you roll back to the previous one.

Don't really want to say that, but... if everyone is gonna wait for 50%, Arkane may end up making the Avengers games.

So if what they're saying is true the stuttering is caused by the Prey Game Ready Driver™

Lawl, if you have the original Prey in your library, this overwrites it. http://steamcommunity.com/app/480490/discussions/0/1327844097114154360/

Oh hey, the punchline to this ridiculous trend of rebooting single-installment franchises. Finally.

Not really overwrites it, both games kind of co-exist inside the same folder/directory. But it doesn't make one or the other unplayable, as the executables are in different folder structures.

and then you want to uninstall and then reinstall later, what now?

 

[Zarniwoop]

"Rebooting" ANY franchise should be a death penalty offence. But doubly so if it's a single installment one.

eh yea, but my massive backlog is a pain plus bethesda dont do regional pricing which hurt sales in asia or eastern europe or latin america

 

[Darth Roxor]

you better pray that Prey does really well if we want to see more AAA immersive sims.

who the hell would want "more AAA immersive sims"

 

[Trodat]

I don't really want to nitpick, but not having a fov-slider for release is just weird. You can easily alter it from the config file, but EVERYONE knows that it's the first issue what PC players will bring up. Are the developers seriously playing the game with the default ~80 fov or so?

They do. Game costs *only* 34 dollars in Russia.
I also have a massive backlog of games, but as I grew older I realised that they are all shit and waste of time&$, so I have a lot of free time to play Prey until I eventually lose all interest and stop playing after beating 1/4th of the game.

 

[Latelistener]

It was twice less for a few hours when they opened preorders (1049 instead of 1999), which means around $18.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

Welp I just picked it up on GMG for $48. If you don't care about supporting Arkane/Bethesda, it can be had for $35 on G2A

It might be the case of testers playing the PC version with gamepads, hence with a higher distance from monitor.

Bethesda has some truly retarded pricing in the region where I live - nuPrey costs 1/4th of a minimum wage. ONE FOURTH of minimum wage in a country where piracy is king.

I'd have bought it if it were around 35USD. Not at 70. I'll get it in a year at 50% off, maybe.

Can't use global keys from G2A?

 

[Great Deceiver]

Isn't G2A a shitty scam?

 

[Sam Ecorners]

Nope, bought quite a few games from it. They are keys bought with stolen credit cards, but these days they promise to help you if your key is busted. Just keep an eye on the seller rating

 

[toro]

Bought the key from cdkeys.com so at least that site is working. They also give the preorder bonus (3 neuromods + a shotgun) which means that the beginning of the game is easier but it doesn't matter overall.

After ~5 hours I feel that the game is incline and it has the potential to be on par with SS2. I know that this sounds like blasphemy but it's that good. Open-world, no hand-holding besides tutorials, decent stealth and solid world design.

I did not play something like this in years. /back to lurking

 

[Infinitron]

The toro endorsement. Wow.

 

[Rahdulan]

I hold off from buying anything Bethesda these days purely on principle because it's always a better deal to just wait for GOTY instead of getting shekel'd with DLC. Arkane is already an offender with Dishonored in which case it still comes out cheaper to just re-buy the goddamn game in form of the complete edition instead of just two pieces of DLC I want. Not happening.
