Story:
what we knew already: year is 2032, character Morgan Yu
Morgan can either be male or female
He/she is big part of private research project that works on advancing the human race
Your home is Talos I, a research station that belongs to the company TransStar
Talos I will be overrun by mysterious aliens
your goals: save the station and get behind the secrets of Talos I, TransStar and yourself
Aliens:
most common enemies were called "Mimics"
they can change into any objects: bin, coffee pot, weapon.. you have to pay attention to your surroundings
three more aliens were visible: a humanoid melee fighter, a flying enemy and a monstrous and aggressive "alien bigfoot"
Gadgets:
gloo gun, recycle charger and neuromod were shown
Zero G Propulsion System was briefly mentioned, no info on that though
gloo gun shoots black stuff that allows you to glue enemies to the walls or kill them
gloo gun's "ammunition" can also be used to build stairs or to close leaking pipes whose fountains of fire block your way
recycle charger is a handy gadget that can be thrown and will "clean up" the area around it, it's also able to disassemble things into parts (organic or metallic components, etc.)
recycle charger will be used to craft things with the help of blueprints
neuromod is kinda like an augment and allows you to take on human and alien abilities, example: kinetic blast (shockwave)
mimic ability seems the most fun: you can change yourself into any object.. even a coffee pot to hide from enemies or a metal ball to roll through a small opening
mimic even allows you to use other abilities as well: you can turn into a coffee pot and shoot yourself up a small shaft with kinetic blast
Gameplay:
simulation, story, open world, missions
every playthrough is supposed to be new and different
you can either go aggressive or calm, much like in Dishonored.. Prey gives you a choice about your approach
no big shootouts as there aren't a lot of guns on the space station
you'll be able to explore the space station and the outer areas aka. space in general
weapons alone won't do it, you need to be creative and also solve "puzzles"
