PREY 2017 - Main Menu Theme (Experiments in Confusion)

[@stickkey]

I loved the soundtrack in this game. It wasn't necessarily scary, but when themes like that played throughout the game, it made me feel genuinely uneasy and anxious. I love that over cheap jump scares.

[@kaba1996]

Best game.

[@kemanorel3110]

You could feel the love for System Shock Arkane has oozing from every pore of this game. It's not outright scary, but it is very unsettling and eerie all the same, just like System Shock was. This is easily the best spiritual successor to System Shock I've ever played, I actually liked it even more than BioShock.

"we are looking at the remnants of a dying giant called Talos 1. The peak of our attempt to reach the stars, to discover something.. something out there, out of our reach, something powerful and deadly.. We are looking at a dying station, that once used to be a living organism, where hundreds of people lived, worked... dreamed and loved.. they loved and they hated. That does not matter now.. the station is dying. Everyone is dying. We are staring into the deep dark space through this opening, there are no lights, no sings of life.. we are alone, in cold wastness of space. We are beyond the point of expecting a rescue.. it's all lost.. i'ts just now and here.. we must act or die with it"

Mick Gordon's abilities are amazing. How he made a seamless transition from 2016 DOOM's absolutely brutal, djenty, techno metal soundtrack to 2017 Prey with this mellow, deep and harmonically beautiful soundtrack is something i can't exactly understand. Also, first time i launched this game, i stayed throughout the entire menu soundtrack without touching the screen, just to take it all in. Really sets the tone of the game!

Arkane Studios are by far the most underrated developers ever (and also the best). That's my opinion at least. edit: but I was disappointed by Prey: Mooncrash and have no interest in Redfall. Hoping that they can pick things back up.

[@julianh2177]

[@najib9093]

PerrySport True but every developer other than this one need to work heavily on their level design and not make you run in a straight line killing things for no reason.

[@darcgibson5099]

The Dishonoured series and Prey are my favourite games of all time. Yes, story could use some work, particularly in Dishonored, but the gameplay and, most importantly, the world-building, design, style & atmosphere are so immersive & awe-inspiring. I could spend 100s or hours just looking at every building, background, object, art, character etc etc in the environment.

[@imjustsomeguy5048]

Well, if you are interested, you could play the games that inspired this: System shock 2 and Bioshock.

[@najib9093]

Play Bioshock series or Alien Isolation. If you liked the stealth/level design/freedom/strategy side of it then you're looking for immersive sims (by far my favourite game design) like Dishonored or Deus Ex. I actually thought the same after beating Dishonored games do the 3rd time and checked this out because it's Arkane Studios as well.

[@私の名前を翻訳しないでください]

@@najib9093 Hey, are you getting Cyberpunk 2077? I'm really excited for that game as it pretty much contains everything that I love about Arkane's games. Optional stealth, a bunch of choices, multiple routes and possibilities, and it's open world to top it off.

All these comments have inspired me to replay and finish Prey. I stopped playing it as I lost interest in it. Few have mentioned it's similar to BioShock so I'm down.

[@theoldwitchsoul9929]

@@HragFarraGaming Its a beautiful story, few games leave me with such a sense of terrible dread and hopelessness, and none do it like Prey. Ultimate apocalypse scenario in my book. No worse way of going than having your consciousness being devoured and forever enslaved in a state of infinite terror sealed within a neural network by a shadowy dark space living hive mind with a hatred for any other life. Pure Epicness. So underappreciated.

[@adaptorperish1322]

Surprisingly, despite being mute while we play as him, Morgan is a great character. We never hear him talk, only on the tapes, but there are other things that mention him which builds his character. And I absolutely love the voice actor for him! Incredible work from all sides, this is probably Arkane’s best game yet. I can guess that the female Yu is the same, but different voice, but haven’t played as her, yet.

Amazing voice acting for all the characters, btw. This game is such a gem, I cannot recommend it enough anywhere possible! This is a huge step-up from Dishonored games (not that they were bad, but it’s almost incomparable. Hoping very much for Prey 2. There is a lot in the story to be said, hopefully that will happen and the launch will be better that it was for Prey 1.

I know this game is a spiritual successor to System Shock 2 and Bioshock, and I loved those games but I think I love Prey even more. It's an improvement in nearly every way as far as I can tell, not downplaying the others,great products of their time, but this is a damn fine progression. Atmospheric, carefully crafted, numerous ways to play, challenges to be had with solutions to be found and never before have common fodder enemies been able to keep the game tense all the way to the end and dont even get me started on the awesome job Arkane did with building out Talos-1 as a game space. Simply great, a game I'll be happy to keep in my library.

[@adaptorperish1322]

Widget The studio of the Arkane studio was one of those who worked on System Shocks, both and on 2 OG Deus Ex games. He actually worked with Ken Levine (the creator of BioShock) on those games, too.

[@aevvah_flxwer8550]

Love this brilliant OST and this stellar game. All of Mick Gordon's works are just golden, especially Prey (2017)'s soundtrack. The pain, sorrow, fear and pure doom and isolation aboard Talos 1 -- along with the hope for survival, redemption, and the act of saving lives -- are all thematically within this OST and that's why I love it so much and listen to it daily XD And the game is just excellent. The worldbuilding, universe and lore of Prey (2017) are all very interesting, too. The Talos 1 space station seems like a tangible place and the dev team REALLY worked on the fact that human beings lived and worked and almost all tragically met their demises there, in-game. I love all the parts of the station, the Power Plant especially. It literally sustains all human life on board, like one little mishap from the engineers and that's it, everyone dies, constant repairs need to be made, etc, etc. The character voice acting is great, and I liked all the characters and their side missions. Of course, I liked how you got to save all of them in the end. Oh and the Typhon organisms are fascinating, and terrifying. One TranStar employee remarks in an email that the Mimics have a "weird affinity for TranStar coffee cups." It's proven unfortunately at the very beginning of the game that well...employees like their cups of deep, delicious fresh coffee. The Looking Glass feature is just so cool, and strangely almost tangible. Some of the weapons, like the GLOO Cannon and Recycler Charge, I find ingenius. I love how you can use the GLOO to scale walls and recycle damn near ANYTHING, including Typhon and human corpses. Imagine your cadaver being re-shaped into a badass weapon and ammo. Or something. The attention to detail in this game is insane. There are so many solutions to solve a problem. And I love how you can craft Neuromods, makes the game alot easier...of course you CAN beat the game using none, but since I like being op in games and love turning myself into various objects, I use them in any preythru I do. Even if Neuromods are so horrific in nature. And one last thing -- I really like how this track is called "Experiments in Confusion", as during the whole game you're a very confused result of an experiment. It also really reminds me of the track song 'Wings for Marie (Part 1)' by Tool. Idk, to me they sound...similar. Everything I said in this gushy comment is in my pov, and is very subjective, etc. Thank you for reading all of this, to Hrag Farra for uploading this vid, and obviously tysm Arkane for your interestingly meta game!
