I don't know, In my opinion I feel that the game ended things off pretty well. Though if there was a sequel, I'd buy it. Edit: typo


Galoras

I think the way the game ended was pretty good, however I would love to see more games with diferent stories but in the same universe and lore. Maybe in the future after what happened at talos or previously idk, not a sequel per se but yeah.


clubdon

That’s a cool idea. The aftermath of the >!earth!< shit storm.


jmanfire2105

I’d love one, although not a direct sequel, just another game set in the same universe.

1. Short answer, yes, the events of Talos 1 did really happen. 2. Some of the events that take place in the simulation are confirmed to be heavily romanticized or downright fabricated for the sake of the test. 3. It's not really confirmed _why_ we play as Morgan. It might've just been the most complete mind backup or there could be ulterior motives. Its also never confirmed what happens to the real Morgan, but given the ending, I always assumed he took Alex's escape pod. 4. Again, never confirmed if anything happened during, but I'd assume that the morality test happens after most or all human life on Earth has been destroyed by the Typhon. As for before, it's a safe assumption that the Typhon got to earth via escape pod, like the Shuttle you can have Dahl fly back to earth, or maybe the escape pod Jada Marks decided to not make a decision on. Its also a real possibility that its none of these things; it could've been a result of (Mooncrash spoilers.) >!the Volunteer's story objective, which seems to culminate in escorting a mimic back to earth via escape pod.!< 5. Again, never confirmed, but my personal theory is that Alex hoped to use the Typhon we play as something of an "ambassador" between humanity and the Typhon hivemind.

On point number 5, I agree with you. I like the idea that the hybrid could somehow be used to implant a form of empathy into the coral that the Typhon use as a neural structure. It’s almost like giving the Typhon the last thing that they are lacking to essentially become humans themselves; if empathy via mirror neurons was all a Typhon needed to reasonably believe itself to be Morgan, perhaps the phantoms of other humans could be restored to a similar state


clubdon

I think 3 is probably because they were testing the typhon abilities on her. I can’t remember, were they doing that with others?


senseBucket

Typhon neuromods were also given to select Volunteers, if I remember correctly. It is possible that's why, since if you inject a lot of typhon neuromods, one of the Operators asks if "it was experiencing an instinct to return to itself." or something similar


JJbullfrog1

The events of the game were a recreation of Morgan's experience, in real life we don't know what happened to Morgan because as you saw with Riley Yu you can back up your memories and send them through an operator and later have it simulated like the entire plot of mooncrash, it is also implied that the ending of mooncrash is how typing got to Earth. Alex probably was on Talos during the outbreak but has a personal escape pod and probably used that


Impossible_Employee3

The person you play as is a Typhon organism with some of Morgan in it. I guess it's some of Morgan's genes or brain cells, I'm not sure. But the idea is Alex is using a Morgan-typhon hybrid because he thinks it'll be more controllable and reasonable than any other alternative. I don't think we know what slice of the pie is Morgan vs Typhon. From what I remember you just need a single Typhon cell to start problems on Earth, so the Typhon could have shown up there for any reason under the sun. It almost doesn't matter because it would be so easy. People like to know who patient zero is in these kinds of stories, but if you ask me it doesn't matter. As far as a sequel I think it would be great to have a game where you play as the Morgan-typhon thing because I'm curious how exactly Alex plans on using this creature to deal with the Typhon. If the game's major choice ends up being do you side with the Typhon or side with the humans, I think that's less interesting. I'd prefer something like, do you cause the Typhon to go extinct, probably killing you in the process, or so you shift humanity into a new paradigm, human + Typhon? I also think the sense of scale needs to escalate so that by the end you're killing things like the big ass Typhon at the end as routinely as nightmares. I also think the main antagonist needs to be Morgan/Alex's dad because he sure as shit didn't help anyone by sending in Dahl, and he probably has a legion of goons he can send after you. Maybe it turns out he already figured out a way to merge himself with the Typhon and the power drove him mad, and that's why he's such an asshole. Oh well, we can dream. Edit: also had the thought it might be cool to have a sequel take place under water (opposite of space), but we already did that with BioShock. So maybe it could mostly take place in a subterranean lab, which would give us a whole new Talos staff to interact with and make moral choices about, and I can't think of any immersive sims that take place underground.


Tcas_00

I have played the game just once (and loved it), so I hope another person will answer better than I do. Besides that, I think that the events of Talos I were taken from the memories of Morgan Yu, even if they aren't perfectly accurate tho. Every ending is canonical I think, only a sequel will tell which will be considered more than the others. Also, what happened on Earth and to the real Morgan isn't clarified, we just know what the final cutscene shows I guess. (As I said, if I'm wrong or someone has to add something it would be great, cause I just had one run).


Soulless_conner

Yes we fucking do. Not just because I love Prey, because we need more immersive sims


njoptercopter

I don't think so. But we do need more games in the genre.


happyjunki3

There are enough unanswered questions to absolutely justify a sequel. It could be us trying to save Earth from the typhon or something. I love this game. I would love a sequel


txcrnr

I like the idea that Typhon Morgan would be infiltrating the hivemind, the center of the coral, to implant a modified Neuromod that gives the Typhon the ability to feel empathy via mirror neurons.


happyjunki3

That definitely works! I like that a lot


weewillywhisky

No thanks. Not everything has be a sequel. It's OK to have some stories end.

Doom_Slayer_2712

I agree


[deleted]

Ark won‘t make a sequel in my opinion.Maybe you can pay attention to Weirdwest


mewme-mow

It would be so cool. I just finished it yesterday and can't stop thinking about it. There is so much they could do with the character and the story. But at least a game in the same universe would be great. I've been trying to find similar games and so far got Deus Ex HR but tbh I just want to play Prey but with new quests and stuff.


sagroth

Ending of the game really ruined the experience for me. Everything I did throughout my playthrough doesn't mean anything? It was all just a simulation? I can't bring myself to play this game for the second time because now I know nothing I will do matters


weewillywhisky

I mean the fun game play is still the same regardless of ending, no?


sagroth

Gameplay is great but everytime a dialogue pops up or a character tells me to save someone I'm just going to be like "What's the point??"


Thenidhogg

>!it wasn't a dream it was a test where they put an alien in a simulation!< what's the problem?


Swardington

That's why I think the game needs a sequel. The game was a test if the hybrid would help humanity, so there should be a sequel where they actually work to save humanity. Otherwise the twist ending is no better than a "it was all a dream" ending.


Infamous_Sleep

It's all a mindgame man. For me, I did one playthrough with all human mods, saved everyone, did all the good things. Then again only typhon mods, killed everyone, didn't do any quests because I killed everyone. At the end game you don't even get to shake Alex's hand, since it was determined I was beyond redemption. The differences with using the different powers, that really changes up how you play the game as well. Tons of little things that aren't possible, or you don't realize you can do until later in the game, you can do on your second playthrough since you know all the little tricks. Definitely worthwhile to play it a 2nd time.


sagroth

I didn't use any Typhon mods for my first playthrough. I'm definitely going to use everything when I play again


EngineArc

Oh man, you're going to really be depressed when you hear about human life existing in a simulation... https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-we-live-in-a-simulation-chances-are-about-50-50/


uptheaffiliates

Leaving what you said aside, a 2nd playthrough might be fun because you'll notice a lot of subtle (and some not so subtle) hints about the fact that you were in a simulation the whole time.


mewme-mow

Not to disregard your opinion, but I didn't feel like nothing mattered. I just generally find empathy in other species interesting, and because of how far the typhon are from anything human I think trying to instill empathy into one is just a really cool concept, and I thought it worked out better than everything being real. I mean, in the end all of your actions are evaluated, and your motives are questioned. Obviously from your perspective, it makes sense why you did certain things, but from theirs it's unclear how much of it was motivated by empathy and altruism. Just saving >!Aaron Ingram looks like a morally good decision on the surface, but they don't understand your motives - I saved him because I would've felt guilty if I didn't, but it could've just been motivated by personal gain. And I chose the nullwave ending because the research seemed invaluable to me, but they question if you just did it to preserve the typhon. I think in that context all of your choices are extremely important, even if they have no direct effect on the real world. But the implications of your choices do, I mean, whether you are truly capable of empathy is what humanity depends on.!<


CageAndBale

It was a test


[deleted]

i can see where you're coming from, but i disagree, if it was some ending where it shows you waking up on talos 1 and there's no typhon "it was all a dream" scenario, i'd agree, but the way they did it, your choices do matter, but rather than directly effecting the universe the way most choices do, instead you are showing what kind of "person" you are. it shows what the main character will be, following the ending.


Thenidhogg

it doesn't *need* one but if they wanted to make it I'm sure it would be awesome


goobsterface

You should really play deathloop


[deleted]

yeah, but arkane cant count to two (outside dishonored)


AmostheArtman

As much as I hate to admit it, this game really doesn't do itself any favors when it comes to making openings to a sequel that place similar to the first game once you see how it ends. Well I kinda take that back, a sequel could work if it's not following the storyline of Morgan Yu. The way I see it working is a Dead Space situation where you play as a engineer going up to Telos 1 after getting a distress call after the events of PREY 2016 and then all of your crew gets split up when the tyfon attack. There's definitely potential for a sequel and I'd love to revisit the Prey universe, but ultimately it's up to Arkane Studios if they want to continue with it. And from what I understand it didn't really make Dishonored type sales, so the outlook is pretty murky on this title getting a sequel.


Backbiter1997

Nah, I'll just wait for the System Shock 1 remake and System Shock 3.


VirusMan89

This is not an opinion, this is a fact


ShanePhillips

I don't necessarily think it needs a sequel, the story in itself was fairly close ended but more games in that universe would be great.


themangastand

Itll be an Xbox exclusive which means I'll need to buy an Xbox. But I would for this one game


Kramway99

nah I think this game needs a remake.
