How much of a performance impact are you guys getting with the 2 screen space options at full resolution?
First few minutes with maxed settings 1440p using GTX 1080.

Anybody tried to run this on the minimum specs? I've only got a 7850 so I'm curious over if I'd be better picking this up on PS4.
I've got the same as you, I'm confident we can run this fine, as others have mentioned, the game isn't loading very high-resolution textures, and it's mostly enclosed spaces.

Are you finnish? I saw press VAIHTO to sprint and I had to do a double take haha
Did a little testing with the FOV option in the config file.
The maximum value is 120, and it's a true HFOV control - which is not ideal, since that means the height is cropped the wider you go.
I prefer a 74° VFOV in all games, which requires a 122° HFOV on a 24:10 display.

The viewmodel doesn't seem to scale with FOV at all, so the weapons are going to remain giant no matter what you set the FOV to - though the 24:10 aspect ratio helps a little.106° HFOV 16:9 (74° VFOV)
106° HFOV 24:10 (58° VFOV) - cropped image.
120° HFOV 24:10 (72° VFOV) - very slightly cropped image.

First video of the game I've watched. It really does look like a sci-fi Dishonored, right down to the HUD aesthetics

this may be stupid but is there xbox controller support? mine isn't being recognised as a controller.
nvm restart fixed it. Nope restart did not fix it.

Oh man, I hate the massive item models.
At least good that we're able to change the FOV itself.
Sounds like some sort of permissions issue. Does the game work if you right-click the executable and run it as an admin? It's tucked away under SteamApps\common\Prey\Binaries\Danielle\x64\Release.

Strange. The first picture here is the default FOV and the second is when I changed it to 90. Nothing's cropped. Unless it only crops super wide resolutions and not standard 16:9 ones.

So where can I VPN to unlock this thing?
Instructions are in the second post.
No. Same thing.
Also my Profiles folder
C:\Users\André\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\Prey\Profiles
Only has the default folder inside.

Thanks - my bad
Perhaps the "é" is tripping up CryEngine. Some engines don't play nicely with special characters.
No harm, no foul.
I wish it wasn't that, since there is no easy way to fix it without fucking my windows installation

Can you not make another admin account? Having to switch accounts just to play one game isn't ideal, but it's only a minor inconvenience.

Anyone else getting a displaced mouse pointer when trying DSR resolutions? The mouse pointer UI element is in one position, but the effective point that you have to place over things you want to click on is invisible and displaced downward and to the right. I have no issues at all in my native resolution of 2560*1080, but DSR resolutions don't work. Maybe a 21:9 bug?
Because it is an HFoV control rather than a VFoV control, the wider the display gets the more the height will be cropped.
90° HFoV:
4:3 display (1920x1440)
16:9 display (2560x1440)
24:10 display (3440x1440)
As the aspect ratio gets wider, the height is cut shorter.
If you keep the aspect ratio the same, you aren't going to see this.
With an HFoV control, you need to increase the FoV as the aspect ratio gets wider.
90° HFoV on a 4:3 display becomes 106° on a 16:9 display and 122° on a 24:10 display - but Prey's limit is 120°.
If the game used VFoV instead, you would just choose 74° VFoV and all three aspect ratios would provide the same height image - they'd just get wider.

Ah, yeah, I see what you mean now. I misunderstood.
There is no embargo. No one got review copies.

Bethesda policy. They don't do it for any games. Doom, Dishonored, etc

It's a shame that UW users have to trade vertical FOV for horizontal FOV, but hopefully Arkane patches in better control over the FOV at a later date. In the meantime I just hope that the sacrifice in vertical FOV won't impede me too badly.

Bethesda has been doing this for awhile now.

Because early review copies are a risk in terms of pre-orders and day 1 sales. They're willing to trade potential positive review coverage to remove that risk.
Quoting for visibility:
Anyone else?

Wasn't D2 PC Gamer's GOTY last year?
Just shows you how good of a game it is if they can name it that even with all the issues it had.
You could still consider a game as the best while it performs or looks bad (within reason.) Dark Souls had Blighttown but many of us still loved it more than other 2011 games.

To be fair I thought it was one of the best games I've played in the last two years. I also didn't have technical issues weirdly.
Played for 4h without any issues. Paragon is right doe mouse sensitivity being halved while sprinting is just bad.
You ain't wrong there.
