Arkane PREY - Arkane's immersive coffee cup transformation sim - now with Mooncrash roguelike mode DLC

[Morgoth]

Mick Gordon, the guy who composed D44M, is the composer of Prey.

Thanks, then I know I can just turn off his uninspired wub wub right away.

That really looks like standard New Age art http://www.newageart.com/New Age Gallery/newage_gallery.htm
Makes me think that this might be connected to original Prey's story and setting after all, considering its entire quasi Native American spirituality and ancient aliens thing...

Interesting info in Pete Hines interview for Playstation.

It's called a psychoscope:

And it's the reason MC's eye turns red. It will be one of the most important gameplay features.

Also at the end of the trailer, it's not a clone but the MC watching a mirror that actually is a video of himself he recorded before.

Do we know on what engine will new Prey run? Is it Void engine, some tech of id Software or maybe Unreal 4?

Same as dishonored 2, Idtech 5.

Most likely Cry Engine as leaked in 2013-2014

I don't see why they wouldn't use the same engine as their other games. In general, the AAA industry is moving towards the use of unified in-house engines. Like how all EA games use Frostbite now.

I don't see why they wouldn't use the same engine as their other games. In general, the AAA industry is moving towards the use of unified in-house engine and tools.

Well I don't know maybe they moved to Void Engine but from what I understand Void Engine was designed for Dishonored painting look. Pretty sure they'll go the realistic looking route with Prey.

That's p. superficial for an engine. Dishonored 1 was UE3 after all.

Bethesda just likes rebranding engines for some reason, much like Creation is just Gamebryo, Void is just Idtech 5.

 

[tormund]

I recall reading some rumors that claimed how Bethesda intends to turn Void engine into THE engine for their games. Dishonored 2, Evil Within 2, maybe even their future RPG titles.
I don't know if there is any truth to that, but that's why I assumed that Prey 2 is running on it (that and the fact that another Arkane game is using it).

 

[Infinitron]

I'd say it's possible that they'll always have two separate engines, one for open world RPGs and one for everything else, because of the vastly different demands of such games, but we'll see.

 

[Ivan]

why wouldn't they just use Idtech6 since it's ohhh, they had already started on 5 I guess derp

Link?

 

[Excidium II]

We know for sure Dishonored 2 is using idtech, it only makes sense their other game in the same vein uses the same technology.

 

[Morgoth]

We know for sure Dishonored 2 is using idtech, it only makes sense their other game in the same vein uses the same technology.

So you know nothing then. Alright.

 

[Excidium II]

So you know nothing then. Alright.

I know how to use my brain to reach a logical conclusion.

You only know how to pull shit out of your ass. At least I provided a link the previous page, suggesting Prey will run on Cryengine.

 

[Excidium II]

So you're saying Arkane is run by retards that will keep using a dead engine instead of one that is both shared and internal?

Could be but I think that they hired some lead Cryengine programmer to work on Idtech6 lighting system.

Development started in 2013, and at time CryEngine was apparently the only viable option. Id Tech 6 is fairly new and ergo not used, and id Tech 5 (Void) is only useful for mission-based games like Dishonored 2, while it has already been said that Prey is one big open space station.

So yeah, CryEngine is a good bet.

Use logic, faggot.

I wish I could be optimistic that this will be a legendary hardcore Immersive Sim that I can fall in love with, but I just can't.
On the other hand, this will reach the masses and hopefully overwrite Bioshock's pathetic existence. That I will be optimistic about.


"Mick Gordon, the guy who composed D44M, is the composer of Prey."

First red flag.

Give me some solid drum & bass contrasted by spooky ambience as in System Shock 2.

I thought the typical use case for CryEngine was for sprawling outdoors games. This game may have one big space station, but that means indoor corridors and it could still be divided into load zones.
