more info about its level structure:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016- ... -adventure" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

...going for a more open level approach this time like metroid. (ie you can explore and go anywhere you are capable of going)

Looks like you play a crazy man that hallucinates all the time and sees dead monsters which believe he is thier mother like the baby metroid in super metroid. You can learn powers so you probably more like Kain in Legacy of Kain than Samus, who had a suit.

Yes will be getting this.

Does Pat even come to this board anymore? I thought he said he was studying to be a medical doctor or something last I heard which was years ago? Probably killing people by accident by now due to malpractice because the wii surgery simulator he trained on wasn't accurate to the real life enough.

Fan of SS2, haven't tried the demo, but I will wait for reviews and impressions of the PC version before I touch it.

I bought it. I've only seen like a few mins of gameplay of it, but it's getting good impressions on steam and GAF. And other positives are, it's 18GB and runs very well on PC. But I still shouldn't have bought this. I'm a sucker for these games. Let's hope reviews like it or I'll look like an idiot again with my impulse buying!.

Reviews from youtubers says its good. Basically System Shock and halflife and metroid had a baby and Bethesda snatched it away from the parents so the government can use it in child porno for the satanic elites who have become demon possessed vessels for the fallen angelic rulers of earth.
Dishonored was good so I do not see why this game would suck. Will get this when I can play through my backlog of games.
Sounds like a game you can replay in different class to get a different experience based on the way the environment locks things up if you don't have the correct skill/ability/item much like metroid. So each person may experience different thing on first playthrough based on the build.

Only weakness to me is that the aliens look too good at stealth. If you can change into anything, that kinda makes them overpowered imo. I think aliens that evolve into different forms is still the best idea in alien design. You become familiar with the alien limitation based on the form it is and immediately identifiable. But Alien already did that, soooo I guess they had to go with more generic idea of shapeshifting creature to make you paranoid. Will probably play a stealthy run on first go. Glue gun sounds like the perfect anti-terminator-1000 weapon with its freeze ability. Reminds me of one of the powers of the G1 Autobots. (would use glue to stop people like spiderman would use webbing)

Purchased on PS4 yesterday at JB for $59. Believe it was a launch day deal. About an hour or 2 in and so far I'm enjoying! Never played The Dishonoured games (well only played about an hour of the first game) so I have no basis on how much it uses from that series. Enjoyable so far!

Seeing so little hype about this game even now that it's out, but everyone who has played it have been really positive about it. And it sounds just like my kinda game.

I reckon it will be the next Titanfall 2 or Dishonoured 2 and drop in price pretty quickly. I'll snap it up then. And it will probably end up being a strong personal GOTY contender just like Titanfall 2 last year.

Ever since Doom release they have had a policy of not giving the press early head start in access to the games.

Makes sense. It gives them time to fix any flaws, avoid negative review scores, and let smaller critics play on an even playing field so thier voice is heard along with the establishment critics who give Call of Duty 9s all the time lol

If you are a system shock fan this is the game for you. Was going to buy Dark Souls 3 GOTY edition but I might get this first at that price.

Eurogamer only gives it a recommended (they are becoming hard to please. Horizon Zero Dawn didn't get amazing review either)

Got my copy the other day. Will begin to play on weekend.

Please don't show Candy and Tomby the review of Horizon Zero Dawn by eurogamer where they called it "generic"

...he'll say nintendo paid them to give it a shit score the crazy tinfoil conspiracy nutter.. :lol:
But all kidding aside, Sony is winning the console war and maybe they have gotten too cocky that they feel they don't need to give out moneyhats anymore so that's why it didn't get an essential. Maybe EG probably asked for too much and sony told them to fuck off, causing them to rate it low? They are anti gamergate so I don't trust them. Anyone that isn't for honest game journalism should probably not be trusted.

Really started to get into this one now. Had a fairly hactic week but decided to devote some proper time to it past couple of days. Really enjoying it. Getting some strong Bioshock vibes from this game. So far it's definitely worthy of a purchase.

Have barely started it but liking what I'm seeing so far. Understand the Bioshock references, but I'm also seeing more RPG elements than Bioshock. So maybe it's Deus Ex with Bioshock's atmosphere with a Metroidvania design over the top. I haven't played System Shock so unsure if that's a better comparison :lol:

IGN's review, while I get scoring it lowly due to a pretty serious bug (which has already been patched out and after reading around it was actually patched out before the review went live), is the height of hypocracy given they gave Master Chief Collection a 9 at launch, when that was just even more broken and took months and months to bring up to scratch.

And I'm sure they've reviewed other broken games just as highly as MCC, that weren't patched as quickly as Prey, or run as smoothly.

Aaaaaand IGN have updated their review to take into account the patch. 8/10 which seems much more consistent with the general consensus.

Recent Patch v1.05 increases performance for PS4 Pro users:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... ly-stutter" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
First up though, let's assess the scale and scope of the PS4 Pro improvements. The bad news is that resolution remains at 1080p, but visual quality is clearly improved. Screen-space reflections - which were previously exclusive to PC - are now available on the Pro and look excellent, while dynamic shadows feature improved resolution, though pop-in on these elements can still look somewhat off-putting.

Anisotropic filtering is improved from 4x to full-on 16x, enabling sharper detail in the distance on elements such as ground textures. The additional 512MB of memory available to developers is also used to eliminate the occasional texture pop-in you get on the standard system, while dynamic light sources are now visible further into the distance. It doesn't fundamentally change the look of the game but the overall presentation is certainly more refined and looks much closer to the PC version running at 1080p. It would have been nice to see support for a higher resolution but still, it's great to see the game improved at last.
yes that is what people wanted at the beginning of the generation. Keep up the good work developers. We want smooth framrate at 1080P over high res at 4K but stutter. Optimise that shit for the Pro and eventually people will see the benefits of upgrading even if they have only 1080P tv.
I think more effects, more smoothness > having higher resolution with stutter. 4K with consistent framerate (60FPS) with all fx on should be the goal for next gen not mid-gen machines.
The good news is that the latest patch 1.05 update released yesterday finally resolves the issues. Properly frame-paced 30fps action is back on the table, with the stuttering and tearing issues gone, bringing the PS4 version of Prey into line with the Xbox One version - which never exhibited any of these issues. We did a quick high-speed camera capture of the game in motion to check on controller latency, and while the measurement is not quite as precise as we would like, input lag is now in the region of 133ms - slightly high for a 30fps game but clearly a huge improvement overall compared to the launch code.

While Prey is a game that is still best played on PC, it's great to see that PlayStation 4 owners now get the complete console package, with Pro owners retaining the visual enhancements detailed below. It's an excellent game and it's great to see that its lingering issues on PlayStation have been resolved.
framerate consistency is what defines console versions of games. Without this, hardcore gamers on low budget will see no reason to play on console. In the old days when a console version of something came out you could at least take comfort knowing the people playtesting it would pay attention not to stress the machine too much and put in too much detail which would chug the framerate down too much. (consoles keep the bastards honest and reminds the codeers the limits of their skills to achieve smoothness at certain detail level without gameplay being affected too much) With patches that focus on framerate consistency it brings back a reason to play the games on slightly more powerful machines again. As long as they focus on framerate consistency (gameplay above pretty textures and details) then we are happy. If people want the pretty version that's what the pc is for. Console should stick to aiming for smoothness and consistency of framerate at the expense of looking nice. (ie for low budget crowd who just want to enjoy playing the game on big screen without getting a headache)
