This Summer Sale on GOG.COM starts with a journey into outer space. In Prey, a climatic sci-fi FPS game, our hero awakes aboard Talos I, a space station orbiting the moon in the year 2032. It appears that he was the key subject of an experiment meant to alter humanity forever - but at some point, things have gone wrong. The space station is now being overrun by hostile aliens and now your goal can be only one - survival.

Until the end of Summer Sale - on 15th June, 1 PM UTC - Prey is available on GOG.COM with a special 70% discount.

Yeah!
I've been holding off on this because of the DRM, instabuy here though!

WoW you released TWO denuvo'd infected AAA games at ONCE!?

What a way to kick off the summer sale Gog; thanks for bringing these over now I'm glad that I didn't buy them on steam and I can now remove them off of my steam wishlist!

EDIT: Now all we need is the rest of the tomb raider series and we'll be on to something!

mqstout: How does this relate to Prey (2006)?
Funny story, they bought the rights to make remake only to create a completely different game, which is also good, but everyone would rather make this game as succesor of System Shock than Prey.:D

So, if you like System Shock, you will like this Prey.:)

op_2020: I would also like to see Prey (2006) here in the GOG library.
Possible legal issues aside, I think Bethesda is probably satisfied with pushing focus on the reboots of series they hold the rights to. Which means being left out in the cold when it comes to Human Head's Prey and Raven's Wolfenstein ever seeing digital re-releases.

GameRager: Anyone know if I can play this somehow?
I have the minimum RAM(8GB), and shaders and such are 5.0.....but I just have this cpu(Intel Core i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz) and only 128MB of dedicated video ram(but can use shared general ram if need be).

So is there any way to play this or should I just get it on console?
It depends on you graphic card. The CPU you have is somewhere there as the recommended minimum.

Here is a comparison (Passmark):
Intel Core i5-2400 (desktop) - 3765 / single thread: 1559
Intel Core i5-7200U (your cpu) - 3366 / single thread: 1771

Recommended GPU:
GTX 660 2GB, AMD Radeon 7850 2GB

128 GB dedicated video RAM is simply not enough.

According to THIS you have an Intel 620 onboard gpu.

I cant see any specific discussions on steam mentioning it, or other intel hds.

Did find this video though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv5xXtRAYXk
Looks like you'll get a low framerate experience. You can boost that a bit by having twin ram (unless your laptop manufacturer has made it a nightmare to add / change hardware), but even then you may be better off buying on console.

Edit: wait, looks like i was looking at the older Prey game on steam.
Edit2: have a look through THESE.

Thank you for your reply. I didn't know that. Quite a sad thing.

Finally! Finally this masterpiece came even on gog!
Posted May 27, 2020
So happy to see this here! Been waiting for a while! Thanks again for bringing an awesome game to the fold!

You're probably right, and when it comes to the original Prey, it's entirely ignored by this game, but Raven's 2009 Wolfenstein is actively referenced and canon within the story of the newer Wolfenstein games, so it not being available anywhere makes less sense.

I have shared ram, which means a game can use regular ram(and maybe mem stick as ramdisk) as video ram....would that work somehow or no?

Maybe. Can you tell what GPU you have? Only the integrated Intel HD 620 as Sachys wrote?

Thanks.....it is appreciated.

Btw could I maybe use a mem stick as ramdisk and boost my shared ram that way?

(The video chip can use system ram, and I wonder if it can make use of ramdisks on mem sticks as well)

Yes.....though as said to Sachys, the vid chip can use system ram...I wonder if it can use ramdisks on mem sticks as well?
