A space station full of shapeshifting aliens
8 years ago
So, my dad helped me pre-order Arkane Studios' upcoming Prey for PC at the local GameStop store.
I'll admit I was not so interested when the game was announced a few years ago, especially after the cancellation of the sequel to Prey that was supposed to be open world with parkour, but I got more and more intrigued by this game's premise.
The game takes place on a space station called Talos 1 where a company called TranStar is conducting research on a mysterious alien race called the Typhon that was first discovered by the USSR on their Vorona-1 satellite when it stopped transmitting for no apparent reason.
They sent up some cosmonauts to see if it was some sort of technical failure, but when they made the decision to open it up, the cosmonauts were attacked by the aliens hiding inside it and killed.
There's more backstory in this video here:
You will be playing as Morgan Wu, you're given a choice at the start if you want to be a male or female version of Wu, who is one of the very few remaining living humans on Talos 1 after a massive containment breach has occurred and now all the Typhons are on the loose.
One of the Typhons you will be going up against are headcrab-like things called Mimics that are able to, as you would have guessed from the name, mimic objects in the environment and they generally tend to stick together in order to ambush and overwhelm their targets.
Bethesda and Arkane made a video that gives you some glimpses at what types you will be going up against over the course of the game:
But one thing that's gotten a lot of people interested in the game is the fact that you will be able to get the same abilities like the Mimics, as in assuming the form of an object like a coffee mug, banana and many others, even sentry guns and you will be able to shoot as well.
However, they've brought up that there are consequences to that you upgrade yourself with these Typhon abilities, you become less and less human which will make all the security systems onboard the station think you're one of the aliens, but worse still is that the Typhon will notice you more and more which will attract the attention of a massive type called a Nightmare that can squeeze through doorways fairly easily.
The game is due for release on the 5th of May and I'm looking forward to this, certainly looks more fun then a certain other sci-fi game that just came out.
As a final note, I'm just gonna leave the very latest trailer for the game that Bethesda and Arkane have made along with a sample from the game's soundtrack, which is composed by Mick Gordon who worked on the soundtrack for the Doom 2016 game:
