Prey (2017) a great game for System Shock fans? - (True PC GAME) Yes! (SPOILERS!)

I think Bioshock is not as complex as this but still a great game nonetheless. Maybe you would enjoy Dishonored, it's by the same devs and has a lot of similarities.

Yep, it is a great game, and it gave me very strong System Shock 1 vibes, especially how you get to navigate the station. System Shock 2 was different (good, but different), and BioShock games for me seem to be a completely different genre altogether, they guide the player far more than I prefer (but I understand why people like them).

Looking forward to System Shock 1 remake, it's been a while since I revisited the Citadel :)

I can recommend Bioshock games (at least the first two, haven't played the third yet), regardless of whether you feel you need to compare them to other games.

How old were you when you played the System Shock games?`There's a lot of nostalgia that makes old games seem so much better than modern ones. Until you try them out again and then wonder ;) (technical difficulties aside on modern PCs).

Prey 2017 was indeed quite amazing, the underlying narrative is just as interesting as the systemic sim elements. The progression system and the world design was one of a kind, but it should have been called Neuroshock and not Prey. I think a lot of people myself included weren't sure what type of game this is before playing it. I love games like this, so this was perfect for me, but I had no idea this was basically Bioshock in space.

I agree Prey was quite the atmospheric fps. Dishonored was a lot more linear and maps ...less interesting than space, Prey also had a bit more humor in the notes and computers in the surroundings, more of a mystery. Admittedly I liked jumping around the rooftops and the usually ironic non-lethal solutions in Dishonored but that was mostly it.

Prey (2017) is essentially System Shock 1+2 Remake. It takes many elements from both of those games and mashes together into one. It is as close to System Shock 3 as apparently we will ever get (I am losing hope the actual third game will ever be made). It is also a helluva more of an actual System Shock spiritual successor than the entire Bioshock franchise combined.

they """re-imagined""" a game from a defunct studio and tryed to sell it to the fan of the previous title in the franchise. some liked it. other didnt. though it was rushed and fullscreen didnt work well. a function that's been standardised since window 2000. you can't alway sell well too. its part of the economic game i guess. i still wonder what happened to that indian PC from the first title. i played the first release on xbox 360 in 2006. to be perfectly honnest, i think it was as good as half life 2. i'm just like that. i like that kind of story-telling.

BioShock games are all about the story, characters and atmosphere of the game. The combat system isn't as complex compared to System Shock 2 and the games are better balanced difficulty wise. Which is why I love the BioShock series.

System Shock games have terrible stories, near non-existant characters and very limited atmosphere (mostly due to the limitations of technology at the time). They have more complex combat systems though, less balanced difficulty (which makes them harder) and less hand holding (especially System Shock 1). A lot (if not most people) that claim to "love" System Shock games haven't played them in a long time so there's a huge nostalgia factor at play. I personally dislike them, System Shock 1 has a really bad user interface but once I got used to it, I at least had some fun with it, though I still consider it a bad game. I despise System Shock 2, it's combat system is overly complex, enemies are poorly balanced and the ammo deprivation is atrocious.

In conclusion:

BioShock if you like story and atmosphere.
System Shock if you like complex systems, harder difficulty and less hand holding.

Never played Prey (except for the original which I disliked).

play the first game by Arknae studios...a gem called Arx fatalis

prey2017 is a great game for system shock fans but not for prey fans, i loved the game but i hate that it was called prey as prey is far better action fps then prey and it has nothing to do with prey, its prey in name only.
