It doesn't, there is no proof whatsofuckingever that the sale of a game was affected because of Denuvo and whether they would have sold more without it because there is no way of comparing those statistics. When it comes down to it, /v/ is just like /pol/ on this regard where they will post bullshit statistics or "LOOK LOOK! some obscure dev said that it's good cause they're ""trying"" it, but I can't find where I saw this particular article right now..."

All I know is, there have been PLENTY of times where I was stuck behind Denuvo in pirating a game and decide to dish the money for games like DOOM and Warhammer, and sometimes where despite pirating a good game I decide not to buy it later because it seems almost fucking retarded to simply get something later if I'm not even going to touch it again and have it cobweb in my Steam list. It all comes down to /v/ defending their constantly broke NEET lives.

Maybe after release when Arkane BTFO's naysayers with strong reviews and strong user reviews we will have a Prey thread that's not talking about Prey 2
>>
>>375831307
>Dishonoured is hardly Arx-tier but
I recently replayed Arx Fatalis and lets be honest here:
The game is pretty fucking awful. It has some amazing ideas shinning through at times, but it's an absolute mess on just about every practical level. Dishonored may have been a bit more "conventional", but at least its a functional game with solid and reasonably-ballanced set of mechanics.

>Prey's Raph Colantonio Says Steam's 2 Hour Refund Policy Stands in Place of Demo

>Earlier this week I had the opportunity to speak with Raphael Colantonio, Co-creative Director at Arkane Studios, about Prey. I asked him directly about the lack of a PC demo, and whether people could infer a lack of confidence in the PC version as a result.

>"It's just a resource assignment thing. We couldn't do a demo on both the console and on the PC, we had to choose. And besides, PC has Steam. Steam players can just return the game [prior to playing] 2 hours so it's like a demo already. I also want to clarify that there's no PC port. I keep on hearing 'oh they're going to screw up the PC port' there is no PC port. We do the game on PC. It's a PC game. It's a different engine to Dishonored as well. So we might have our own sets of problems, but we are of course very careful because of what happened with Dishonored 2. So we wanted to make sure the PC version of Prey is good."

>"We have always developed our games on PC, we're PC developers. The thing on PC though, sometimes it's just the wrong timing. The drivers just came out at the same time as your game, or the hardware combinations out there are so numerous that we can't test absolutely everything and sometimes that's just what it is. Bad timing, bad luck. But we've worked on it a lot. I'm not saying there won't be any problem at all, but I'm pretty confident right now."

>>375832289
I liked Dishonored but the more I play it the more I realize how much of a missed opportunity it was and how watered down it was compared to Thief. Then Dishonored 2 comes along and they don't even bother to make a decent PC port of their game. I want Arkane to be good but it just isn't happening and yet people are saying they're the rightful successor of Looking Glass despite them making severely watered down versions of LG's games. They've already hit the tipping point and I'm just enjoying watching them seemingly crash and burn because of it.

Except nobody got mad at Heretic being released after Doom because it actually broke grounds by implementing things that Doom didn't have like an inventory system with many different useful items to progress and survive in levels, and a power system that provides alternative fire to your weapons, you fucking nigger.

Honestly looking back the only thing good about prey 2 was the setting. And no don't go buy prey2017.

>>375832464
First of all, it was not a stealth game. Second of all, I know that you people don't really follow or even connect these kinds of things, but when they changed the guard detection system for Dishonored 2, it caused a massive backlash and was one of the main reasons why the game got ultimately so much negativity (right after the poor PC port), suggesting that yeah: the system works.

>>375832476
>Such as?
The whole magic system was pretty great in theory (though ruined by poor detection system, the idea was neat and The Void later proved that it can work really well). The deep interaction systems, where the player could do things like actually cook by combining individual ingredients and then use those skills in solving puzzles and problems were again, on paper, fantastic. The setting was interesting for sure too. In general, it did a good job creating sense of immersion and presence within the game world.

>Care to explain why on any level?
Well, the ballance is completely and utterly screwed. Like pure casting path basically giving you a spell that can one-shot every enemy in the game roughly 20% into the game. Except for SINGLE encounter in the game where you fight a completely magic-resistant boss. Of course, you can't skip or avoid the encounter.

The level design is insanely bad, with some of the most confusing, ugly, poorly laid out dungeons I've ever seen. Entire sets of mechanis exist for ONE puzzle or encounter. The story is painful and so is every character. Melee is incredibly awkward, and so is actually casting and ranged combat.
It's all just a giant mess, systems either don't work as they were intended, or are incredibly clumsy to use.
You can see how good ideas they had, but basically none of them is implemented in a way that would actually really benefit the game in the long run. It's... just painful to play through at times.

You have to admire it, but it's impossible to enjoy it.

These sites usually have some sort of quality control. Game companies aren't targeting these sites because they usually shut down actual thieves when they find them.

>>375832230
>Bioshock clone
It's System Shock 2, not Bioshock. And it's got a lot of fresh ideas behind it. There's a big boss alien who hunts you more aggressively the more powers you get, you can float around the entire space station from the outside, the powers look interesting and the game is selling itself on its gameplay freedom.

That, and it's an fps/rpg focused on exploration, and those almost always turn out good. System Shock 2, Bioshock, Singularity, Deus Ex - games in that vein have a tendency to be great.
>>
>>375833226

Its not really original. We've had countless games like it a long time ago like Bioshock or System Shock, or numerous other indie horror games on Steam. What would be original is if they released Prey 2, theres still a severe lack of space bounty hunting games.

Dead Rising 4 failed. Capcom thought that appealing to a wider audience would earn them 2 million copies and the game didnt even sell 1 million.

I played Prey and it's a very bad FPS that feels like it was made by people who didn't understand what makes FPS games fun, they just saw some Doom footage and thought "we can make this, but more Cronenberg". You can't die, most enemies are insanely boring, the encounters with them suck balls. The story is hilariously insane (easily the best part, though), characters' actions make no sense, some environments and gimmicks are cool (gravity pathways are super-cool but they never do any really fun battles with those) but they don't carry game on their own.

I have serious doubts a game made by fucking Arcane could be a bigger screw-up.

>I played Prey and it's a very bad FPS that feels like it was made by people who didn't understand what makes FPS games fun
Human Head always had a very specific pattern to their game development. They always started by providing very impressive screenshots made in what ever was the currently available engine. Then they started making big public announcements about list of incredibly cool sounding features, fantastic technology, clever "gimmicks" that would make the gameplay look really interesting and variend. As the hype grew to insane degrees, they would release a demo that would blow everyones mind completely, proving everything they promised exists.
And then, when they released the game, it turned out to be an absolute pile of shit. With terrible balance, insanely dragged out pacing, insulting narrative, all of the gimmicks being actually disfunctional and poorly integrated into the actual game - all around just terrible games. They had an amazing talent of making all the things that sound incredible and felt incredible in the demo insufferably boring in the actual full game.

This happened to Rune, it happened to Prey, and there is plenty of indication that that was precisely what was going on with Prey 2. I have no idea how and why people defend that company (by the way, after fucking up Prey 2, Human Head worked only on two other major gaming projects: they provided much testing an ballancing for Brink, and much of level design, encounter design and combat ballance for Bioshock Infinite. Seriously the guys never worked on a game that would not turn out to be a pile of shit) or why anyone ever assumed that Prey 2 wasn't going to be yet another terrible, overhyped dissaster waiting to happen.

I don't know if Arcanes Prey is going to be any good, I guess I won't know unless it actually gets good reviews and then go on for a big sale either.
But my god, the weird boner for Human Head around here completely baffles me.
>>
I'm interested in it from the demo, but the demo was so potently awful that it made me cancel my preorder. I'll just rent it from redbox on friday, if it's good, i'll play it to completion. If it's not, oh well, only $3.
>>
>>375840267
Honestly I really hate to shit-talk people like that when I don't know the full story and what I know suggest they did have problems with Bethesda. But the final product, meaning Prey 2006, is just so impressively... wrong. Your "terrible balance, insanely dragged out pacing, insulting narrative, all of the gimmicks being actually disfunctional and poorly integrated into the actual game" quote is harsh, but it describes my experience with Prey 2006 perfectly.

I think the only other games I've played that felt like "FPS designed by people who never played FPS" were Hard Reset and, to lesser extent, Shadow Warrior reboot, both by Flying Wild Hog. But god knows I had more fun with HR than Prey 2006 - at least in HR you can fail.

>>375840719
Hard Reset was pretty crude, Shadow Warrior 1 had a lot of flaw too (the second game is actually, I belive, one of the best and most underappreciated shooters of the recent history though - even if it really isn't design to appeal to most people and has some fundamental design issues). I think both were better than Prey 1 though, even if Hard Reset may actually be a pretty decent comparison point.
I remember Prey 1 being one of the most painfully boring and slogged out game I've ever completed. I don't even know why I finished, I think at the time I just wasn't as willing to give up on a title. And the story... oh my god. You said it's insane and at least entertaining. But I still fucking remember that scene where you are supposed to kill your girl-friend, and how the game presented that whole sequence without a fucking trace of irony or self-awareness, and it still may be one of the most insulting, hideous scenes I've ever seen in a game.

I like flawed gems, and I usually go pretty far to find something good about titles. Hell, I'm defending Shadow Warrior 2 here - and that games requires digging pretty deep to find it's virtues. But Prey 1 was just awful.

And I was there. For the hype, for the previews and interviews, for the demo and the reaction to it. Hell, it dragged me in so much that I forgot how much burned I got with Rune few years prior.
These guys were assholes. And while I don't know the whole story between them and Beth, I do know for a fact that they are, at least in some respects, lying through their teeth in their version of the story.
And considering its a company that has not been honest with their audience once in their history, and who described every single one of their own games as AMAZING TITLES THAT REVOLUTIONARIZE THE INDUSTRY (Prey 1 and Rune included), I know that you could not belive a fucking word they say.

Initially I hated the premise of Prey, but after playing the demo, I will probably get it. The atmosphere and visuals are great and the Mimic gimmick has some serious potential. If they don't fuck the story, and they have some nice enemy variety, it'll be a day one purchase.

Prey does feel like a slog despite being a pretty short game, I think it's because the shooting is so boring. Your main enemy are those ugly alien fucks who look like the most generic evil humanoid alien imaginable - Mangalores from Fifth Element, aliens from Duke Nukem, those guys are a bit of those, a bit of that, have braindead AI and shoot you with assault rifles that sometimes function as snipers. And they have alien dogs who are pure melee. That's what you fight for like 90% of the game, it's like Doom 3 and endless imp encounters except somehow even worse - Prey made me actually appreciate Doom 3, which is no small feat. And then there's the whole flying sequence which has one bright spot that has nothing to do with gameplay - you see some kind of miniature star being used to power something.

The story is completely amazing, though. They start it by throwing a bunch of problems you don't fucking care about because you don't care about characters (yet, and probably ever). Then there's a melee combat introduction, where a bunch of racist redneck parodies tries to rape (?) your gf so you beat them to death with a wrench. Each redneck takes like 10 wrench hits, too! Then finally the game opens in a neat scene which is honestly the highlight of the game and then you meet ghosts of dead kids (who you have to shoot for some reason), your DEAD father offers to teach you some mystical shit but Tommy says he "doesn't have time for these superstitions" WHILE BEING DEAD AND TALKING TO YOUR DEAD FATHER IN AN AFTERLIFE, you rescue your gf with some local Rebel leader who is dressed in a stripperific and very impractical dress, then a guy who can make portals attack and you LEAVE YOUR GF YOU JUST SAVED BEHIND without any protection... God, and the ending where the boss reveals she's an American Indian and offers you to join her or something, and Tommy yells "I AM A CHEROOKEE WARRIAH"... You can't make this shit up.
>>
>>375841337
And wrt the Bethesda/HH conflict, I admit I'm a bit biased about Beth, being an Obsidiot and all. And there's been rumors about them treating the people behind Dark Corners of the Earth poorly (which is a broken and kind of shitty game that nonetheless has some of the best Lovecraftian atmosphere and setpieces I've seen in a game like that).

I played Prey a couple weeks ago because it was sitting on my backlog and I thought I'd take it out before playing the new one. The people who act like Prey was an amazing game are nostalgia-fagging hard. So much of Prey 2006 is straight up tedious. I swear you have to do sequences like this OVER and OVER again

>Oh no I'm blocked by a Force Field
>Gotta Spirit Walk through it and then pretty the terminal to turn it off

>Oh no there's no way to get further
>Oh I have to activate the terminal and then that will activate the gravity walkway

>I'm blocked by a password
>I have to turn on Spirit Walk and then find the numbers that's written down in the level

Again and again. The best things about Prey is that it works fine with modern hardware and some of the guns are fun to use. It's also the most casual game in existence since the dying has no penalty, enemies don't even gain back health after you kill them.

Yeah I would have liked to have seen Prey 2 with Alien Bounty Hunting but it looks like Arkane has made a new Spiritual Successor to System Shock so sign me up since I love System Shock.
>>
>>375843656
>enemies don't even gain back health after you revive.
Fixed.
>>
>>375840794
Have you seen a game studio post, let's say, 2010 even come close to what Arkane is doing? The 90's are gone, and so are Looking Glass Studios. In this day and age, I'd much much rather have a watered down but still good LG game than anything else that's on the market.
Games like the ones Looking Glass did won't work today because it's a catch 22 situation -- entitled gamers won't pick them up unless they look good, and they won't look good and also have good gameplay, good story etc. unless the studio is well funded. The money won't come unless it's appealing to the masses, in one way or another, and Looking Glass' games are too hardcore for the average gamer today. It was cheaper to develop games in the 90's.

>You can't make this shit up.
When I played the demo, which essentially showcased the bar opening and then some of the shrinking, gravity play and portal-opening technology, I genuinelly though the game was a parody. I thought was like a spiritual sequel to Redneck Rampage.

My problem was, as I played the real thing, the realization that they are, actually 100% percent fucking serious with this shit. Like the children shit. It was SO PAINFULLY OBVIOUS that this was a completely genuine idea of some braindead fat nerd thinking this will blow everyone away. And it just went on and it played itself with a straight face and often frankly disgusting naturalism and obsession with gore and violence that I'd be entirely OK with if it was not... actually presenting itself to be serious. I'm not easily disgusted by a game, Prey was one of the few that did actually make me feel slightly sick. I think the only other that managed to do the same was Duke Nukem Forever at one point, and even then it was much more tolerable.

Like: they actually fucking tried to jerk tears and shock out of that killing your GF scene. It was so fucking disgusting and stupid and they still tried to play it straight.

It wasnt even boikers. It was stupid, sure, but it was not crazy completely out there stupid. More of a "we are incompetent tasteless fucks but we are still damn sure we are blowing everyones mind with your serious space drama" bullshit.

But you know, what ever. Story is not what ultimately condemned the game. It made a huge negative impression on me, but it wasn't why I despise the game.

The incredibly boring gunplay was. And I remember the game to be very, very long. Like, HL2 long or even longer. Maybe my perception was distorted by the rigor-mortis like state of boredom the gunplay got me into though.

Remember the vehicle sections? People complainted about vehicle sections in HL2, but I just remembered the vehicles in Prey and felt riveted by Water Hazards.
>>
>>375844757
I'd gladly see Arkande get dethroned if SS3 turns out to be great. In the meantime, I've been enjoying Dishonored 1 and 2 and will soon enjoy Prey, since nothing else has come close in the past decade.
>>
>>375844942
I don't know, it didn't feel all that gross to me. That's the funny part - they banked on space gore horror thing, but I feel like even Quake 4 did it better (a game I actually liked for all its faults). Vagina/orifice doors were done by System Shock 2 in 1999. They were probably supposed to be one of those "wow isn't that GROSS" moments but for me it felt more like "hey I remember playing System Shock, I liked that game, it had a wrench too, wow".

I don't think HL2 is long, in fact I remember it being short was one of complaints when it came out. And yeah, I mentioned Prey's vehicle sections. They were ass.
>>
>>375829621
Dark Messiah was amazingly fun too
>>
Arkhane delivered Dishonored 1 and 2, and by today's standards, their level design and visuals blew me away. The demo went in the same direction, so it's day one purchase for me.

I wasn't grossed by the vaginas - I found them without any actual context like the ones in System Shock hillariously stupid, but not offensive in any way. What bothered me was the violence against children and women, to a point where the game completely needlessly forces you to be the one pulling the trigger on your supposed love interest. I don't have a systematic issue with either of those things: I don't think there should be a blank taboo on anything in any medium, but if you are going to do something that is this disgusting, justify it by some context.
Instead, they included those segments purely and exlusively because they were edgy. And when you are using this disturbing imagery purely to showcase how edgy you are, that is annoying me. Maybe "being offended" is not the right phrase, it's just "after this, I have zero respect in the author" thing.

HL2 was pretty damn long for its time, and incredibly long for todays standards, actually. Maybe the memories got muddled, or you had some odd expectations at the time, but it was a pretty crazy long game and surprisngly varied, as for its lenght, it really switched tone and pacing and mechanics up regularly to rarely ever make you feel like its dragging on.

In terms of pure game lenght, it was about as long as FEAR, but it felt three times shorter simply because it wasn't so padded up.

>>375847854
Eh, the vaginas have pretty much the same context, the Sphere is a techno-organic mess, and they plop out some kind of monsters, I think the rocket launcher ones? I feel like defending Prey a bit since if there's anything I liked about it, it's a lot of Sphere environments. They repeated a lot, but some of them were genuinely cool.

I wasn't really bothered by "violence against children and women" or edginess. I mean, I have pretty high tolerance for edginess. Like, something like Hatred where your goal is explicitly killing civilians with gruesome executions might raise my eyebrow, but in Prey you're killing ghost kids (with real guns... somehow) and they just pop out, and gf fight is hard to take seriously. I think the thing that offends me the most about it in retrospect is how boring and safe it is - it's just the upper part of her model stuck inside some large monster with double machineguns. Even her clothes are intact! Honestly, if I were to give the game a "feminist critique" for some reason, I'd target the rebel leader outfit first. What the heck was that.

In the end, though, bad/mediocre writing in an FPS game just doesn't bother me all that much. The thing with Prey is that it's more like completely batshit writing, where evil aliens drive their dropships into American Indians' spirit realm to... kill the dead people? What? How?

>HL2 stuff
I like HL2, but I don't love it. I feel like it's shorter than HL1 or quite a lot of FPS that came before. And I was influenced a lot by Far Cry when I played it, which still is one of my favorite FPS to this time. It's also really damn long and hard, with a strong core gameplay and little gimmicks/deviations form it, an opposite of what HL2 is.

"Any sufficiently advanced idea is distinguishable from mere magical incantation provided the former is presented as a mathematical proof, verifiable by sufficiently competent mathematicians."

"Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

"Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science!"

"Any technology, no matter how primitive, is magic to those who don't understand it."

Aliens, advanced science and technology ARE magic, you fucking retard!

The funny part is, there's gameplay footage you can find. It looks pretty linear and not very exciting.
>>
>>375852581
it's fake, the game didn't progress far enough to have gameplay.
>>
>>375835315
Is this a real photo or in-game? Did whoever wrote this get in trouble?
>>
>>375852838
there's a ton of screenshots though
>>
>>375852940
they're fake. the game didn't progress far enough to have gameplay.

/v/ is crying over ubisoft trailers that promised them the world, basically. it's sad, because i think Prey 2 looks very compelling
>>
>>375851682
>that was infinitely more compelling than the first one.
Except, it wasn't. Or at least there was absolutely no reason to assume that it going to be compelling.

>>375852838
OK, tone it down there. There was a gameplay demo, and the game was in development for about five years, Bethesda extended the budged and dead-lines twice before it was canceled, and there is gameplay footage as well as a pretty massive gallery of screenshots from what we presume was late alpha stage of the game that only surfaced recently.
So the game was pretty far into development and it was very likely playable, or at least had a playable prototypes.
They did look pretty bad in retrospect, and the game was massively delayed by that time and stuck deep in development hell, but something playable did exist.

>>375851682
>The "outrage" comes from the cancelled Prey 2 game that was infinitely more compelling than the first one.
the game was made by the same people who made the level design for bioshock infinite, all we saw was bullshots.
>>
>>375853464
>5 year development
>got to late alpha
>canned

Man, so many great games get delayed and take 7 years to come out! Too Human, Final Fantasy XV, ........you get the point
>>
>>375854341
Look, I'm not saying there is any reason to assume the game would be good. Human Head never worked on a game that turned out good, before and after, the development was clearly a nightmare even if Bethesda has been fucking them over, because we know for a fact they completely missed their own deadlines by massive margins before they even declared that bethesda is being mean to them (and they did get second and third shot, insanely enough).

I'm just saying that regardless how little respect for Human Head I have, there is no point in lying about them. The footage they provided was pretty clearly an in-game gameplay footage. Not impressive, clearly scripted and made for showcasing - especially since it followed the pre-rendered trailer to the T, but it was gameplay footage. And same for the screenshots, which by the way surfaced only a few months ago: it would absurd for Human Head to sit on them and not use them as promo materials if they were staged.

It's just about factual accuracy, really. There was no reason to assume that Prey was shaping up to be good. Frankly, the whole premise and setting was already suspect as hell. But there is also no point in declaring that the gameplay footage or the late leaked screenshots were faked either.

I really dont understand where the hate for this game is coming from. Everything seems great to me. It's exactly the system shock successor that people wanted.
>>
>>375854881
>it followed the pre-rendered trailer to the T
Well, it showed more than those. Like the ability to see your target through walls which clearly shown that while you were dealing with mooks the target would sit in the next room instead of running away, because god forbid you actually lose your target in a bounty hunter simulator...

Except people don't want System Shock successor. Some pretend that they do, but really, even for majority of those people System Shock is a vague excuse to bitch about modern games that they never really played, or don't really want to play anything similar anymore.

People are either clamoring for dumber and simpler games, or just far more interesting in reasons to be mad and pissing their pants and righteous anger, or proving how edgy and clever they are for shitting on everything than they ever care about actual games.

People who care about games, who want to play some games, are in vast majority satisfied with games like Uncharted. People who even know names like System Shock are here just to bitch, not to actually play anything, or learn about what they could or should not play.

This my friend, is the absolutely ultimate "I have absolutely nothing to reply to you, but somehow I'm still angry and I need to put you down even though I've got nothing".
Stop doing it. It's just fucking embarassing. If you have nothing to say yourself, don't draw attention to it, just ignore the post.
>>
>>375852385
I can see how that would have turned out

try to find the target's location by talking to npcs or searching through a dead open world
find target in a bland copy pasted base
kill them and receive money/xp/loot
rinse and repeat

maybe I'm just jaded but I've played way too many games to hyped up by trailers and interviews anymore
>>
>>375855436
>Except people don't want System Shock successor.
I do, hell I even want a new thief game but all devs dumb everything down since gaming is mainstream and most gamers are retarded.
And after seeing game play of Prey I can see that normies have a hard time playing this game which warms my heart.

It failed after it was announced.

>tfw preordered two copies for me and a friend

Looks fun desu. What I am most puzzled about is DoW3 being top seller on Steam. What the fuck is going on??
>>
>>375856352
RTS fans are desperate at this point.
>>
Who cares if it fails or not? If its a good game then i will play it and enjoy it, if its not then i will simply skip it.
>>
>>375855436
>People don't want a System Shock successor

YES I FUCKING DO. System Shock 2 and the first two Bioshocks gave me a raging hard on for fps/rpg hybrids and nobody has bothered making any worthwhile ones after those titles. Fuck your shitty 'massive open world' meme rpgs and give me a decent immersive sim.
>>
>>375855368
that's Black Mesa footage...
>>
>>375856971
I can get behind this. As much as I hate to jump on the open world hate bandwagon a lot of them have been underwhelming and I'd rather play on smaller better designed maps
>>
>>375828640
>wanting things to be bad and fail
Fucking loser
>>
>>375828640
Just bought it on steam, what are you going to do about it faggot?
>>
>>375857086
Tell me about it. It pisses me off to no end that the industry let dungeon crawlers die.
>>
>>375856352

>Why would the latest installment in a popular RTS franchise be selling well in its opening week?

The reviews are generally "good but not as good as the previous games" so most fans will probably buy it. I'm holding out for a demo 2bh, heard too many negative things about it
>>
>>375857543
I was immediately turned off by the first trailer. The artstyle is a huge step down and abysmal. It looks like saturday morning cartoon style drama and not a Warhammer game.
>>
I'm eager to play it. It's the first time I feel hype in a long, long time.
>>
>>375856993
fuck ing jeeeej
