Okay, so in the start of the game, you were literally inside a simulation, of a simulation, of a simulation
*OH MAN, THAT'S DEEP*
only 2 simulations.
Inside a simulation, inside a taco, inside a taco, within a taco bell
@@blaster5800 buy us we were playing the game, a simulation 😯, and we’re in a simulation

What I want to know is how does a government sell a facility containing DANGEROUS ALIEN LIFEFORMS to a private contractor. Was the money really THAT good?
Lukasz Weglarczyk How else would we get out of debt?
Yup. Money talks mate.
Well, that's the fiction aspect of it. In real life, the private contractor would have bought the government.
Top level governments are just a PR for groups behind it. If you haven't understood that yet: Way to go.
Cause everything the government handles works well... (sarcasm should be obvious)
For ending part, I partly expected to hear "Good Morning Morgan"
Nathaniel Barnaby that would've been so GOAT like
Or
Morgan wakes up in his apartment, and it's year 2017. He's actually a normal human person, who just got this new super immersive VR device from his friend just to test it. Later, he walks to the kitchen and drinks a cup of coffee, while saying "whew, it's looking better then we've expected". The reflection in the glass shows Morgan with nerdy glasses and game developer badge on his t-shirt. As he grabs his stuff and exits his apartment, we can see some advanced VR game projects on some papers lying on the table.
We can see Morgan walking through the apartment building corridor.
Morgan: "hmmph... maybe we could call it.... Prey... yeah :) "
Morgan walks outside and closes the front door. It's a sunny day outside and birds chirping. Credits roll.
LOLOLOLOLOL
That would have been a stupid ending like it was all a dream. But then again it kinda is a dream the whole game.
LEGIT LOL
@@_Killkor or when he grabs the coffee cup it is a mimic
The real Morgan is not a good person. Remember that side quest where you find that audio clip where Morgan has a mental breakdown? Then in the clip you hear Morgan's choices for that personality test from the beginning of the game? All of Morgan's choices were bad.
Yea there's a lot of evidence of that, they even bring up that because of the Neuromod removals his/her personality was changing as well. Mika even says that the new Morgan isn't the old Morgan so he/she can't be held accountable for what the old Morgan did and he/she's only responsible for his/her current actions. (I let her listen to the audio of he father being killed by the old Morgan)
But the real question is: What happened to Morgan?
Darquos Leblack Thank you so fucking much!
@@DarquosLeblack Morgan is the typhon human hybrid. The nuromod injections mutated him and wooed his memory creating someone/ sobering entirely new, the human typhon hybrid. So it is and isn't Morgan.
@@jessniccohl5660 Nope. Morgan Yu was a human. You're a typhon who is playing simulation of human Morgan Yu memories. It's said by Alex Yu himself.
I played the game and got none of the Typhon mods and just went full combat bad ass Morgan and the best part is that the ending actually made note of the fact that I only had human mods.
Imagine if a sequel game did come out and the final boss was Morgan, assuming he survived. That would be trippy
They are NOT Hybrids!
Spoilers Ahead.....
.....
As far as I understood, it was not a hybrid, but a typhon with human neuromods or something similar. On my play-through, I found a room with a research proposal determined to bring empathy and human traits into typhons in a similar way to how typhon traits are injected into humans. However, Alex Yu refused to give it any resources and shut the project down. I suspect Alex changed his mind later and started trying to create a Typhon with human Neuromods, and he succeeded.
And if you think Typhon's can't mimic humans, they totally can. I found an interesting way to mess with mimics in the area with the greater mimic that demonstrated the Neuro-disruptor. If you take the object out of the display space, open the small door to that display area, and jump in it in time, the mimic in the room will become Morgan Yu. It is however in a T-Pose, so it could also be a glitch.
i think that it was a typhon once, but got injected with human-Morgan Yu- nuerons, therefore a typhon with a human mind.
If you walk up to the glass sometimes it’ll turn into the Yu family photo too
That could totally be what Alex meant when he said something along the lines of
“We always tried to put what I can do into us but never what we can do into you”
did you see noclips documentary, they mentioned the t-pose glitch for mimics lol
What I think was really going on is that they got Morgan's conscience digital copy which was put into a Typhon via neuromod. And if I remember correctly from the game's audio logs and messages, it is even mentioned during playthrough that people's consciences could be copied into a digital form. January, Morgan's assistant robot, was actually just that.
Key thing that was mentioned by the scientist who studied Typhons was that there were observed no mirror neurons, which basically means Typhons have no sense of individual identity and that they are not capable of empathy. They only follow set of strict instructions which I assume are: "breed, seek and assimilate"
That's why last Alex's words were that they finally tried to put what makes us humans into a Typhon - a conscience and ability to emphasize.
See, I like this game. It respects the fact that you have a consciousness and allows it to partake in the game play experience as well. Leaving you with interesting thoughts to ponder after you finish the game.
Looking at you Mass Effect 3.

I think that, although there were many problems and improvements that could've been made to the game, it was great. The gameplay was fun and overall, the story made me feel like the entire game was worth the 15 hours it took to beat. I think that Arkane did an excellent job with the game and I would love for them to make a sequel.
Oh you didn't mention that the final scene is itself possibly a simulation. There is a moment where the screen flickers and shows the robots but without Alex there. What do you think the implication of this is?
Helois Gevit Cody didn't want to speculate to much, but it is more than possible. Ill let him address your questions when he wakes up!
Maybe morgan made the operators to preserve human lives, He said it was a literal back up of him. The operators that you see at the last scene are the minds of real humans that are dead. Alex Yu might be dead, if you pause at the right moment near the ending scene where the chair turns or the pictures of what remains of earth show, a frame will show where only the 4 operators remain.
From what I can speculate maybe all humans are dead and the only thing that remains are the operators and the typhons, operators being the minds of people who are dead and doing the experiment to preserve human life.
Alex said that the memories where real memories of Morgan Yu and almost none of it were fabricated, most of it at least.
For all I know earth was already invaded humans was doomed, but Morgan Yu created operators to make sure humans have a way of preserving themselves, but then he was killed, luckily he was able to finish the operator in time and preserve his memories in it, Alex took this chance to experiment on Morgans memory inside January as well as use the technology used to create operators and used it on crew members in Talos-1, use the memory inside January to inject it in typhons and see how they would react, Alex died because he got killed by one of the experiments, while the operators that he created continued his experiments.
Ive gone through the ending several times, and it does not flicker. Its a bug, the entire head does a 180 and back again.
If that's the case then why is Alex missing from the frame? I suppose we'll see if a patch changes this or not, that will be telling.
He is missing because hes turning you around, like literally your head turns away from him and to the robots.
I just fuckin loved this game. This game gave me the same feeling when I finished Half Life 2. It was simply brilliant.
All I hear in my head is CORALLLLL
dana94a "Get back here CORRAL!"
CAAARRRLLLL
Coral!
I wouldnt mind a prey 2 where we are on the ruins of earth as an alien/human hunting down aliens using kickass powers where instead of us being the prey the aliens would be the prey... although that may be too unoriginal
Teal'c, former First Prime of Apophis have you heard of doom?
Every time mor Morgan wiped his memory he made a personal operator to help him do something. Every time that happened he named it after what month it was.
Superb game and really interesting twist there in the post credits scene. Depending on your decisions I assume Alex's intention is to make a whole lot more Typhons like the player to fight the attacking Typhons on earth. I mean.... Alex and one hybrid can't exactly do that alone.
Thijs van Abs I hope he doesn't make more than 1 because then in the sequel you would be fighting with NPCs and I hate when you have to fight with npc
or it could be a messenger as it could communicate with both tython and humans
this game badly needed a teleport between places - got tired of all that aimless walking
Af0 Glad the jetpack movement felt so fun or I would've quit.
i followed the guides most of the time...by the time i figured out its faster to go out in space and travel - it was almost the end of the game...plus you actually have to open the hatches in each area which takes time.
The location guide is VERY deceptive.
the spacewalk is the new teleport from the old game.
Use the main lift, the exterior, and the GUTS.
yea man exactly, they made a fucking lift which i didnt get to use it till the end of game the fuck was that! hahah yea srsly running up and down most of the game wasnt fun at all. I liked the game, but by the end it got very very boring actually.
Tahfyn' xD
Lmao
I’d honestly love to see a sequel of this game with similar but still different gameplay, I just beat the game, I had a fun time, the ending explains a lot about what I already saw but left new questions unanswered
That's what I thought the first time when I saw the image with the Earth, that it was eventually invaded. But the second time I understood that they just used neuromods on all humans and those yellow lines are not the aliens invaders, but are the telepathic connections between humans. This is because Alex says "Look what we accomplished". This is a positive thing, and an alien invasion is not something positive.
I appreciate your simple, concise and to the point explanation
Did they get Aaron Ingram to voice this video? ;) Loved this game, they setup a 2nd game very well.
I found the ending incredible unsatisfying, the decissions you made have barely any impact considering it was all a simulation and early in the game you hear an audio log of morgan suggesting to alex to reverse engineer the neuromods to use it on thyphons to communicate with them and for a moment it thought, what if we are that thyphon? I dont know why my brain jumped to that conclusion, but to me it wasnt even a surprise to see.
Anyway its a great game and absolutely loved it.
Played this like 2 yrs ago and felt to watch some content about it just now lol.
Your video its really well put together and concise.
I played like three times, love this game, but unfortunately the story is the low part of this, i always thought that i was playing a simulation, even when i tried the demo, the game isn't even subtle with this, Morgan doesn't talk when you control they, but they always talk during logs and videos(i felt a shouting inconsistency there), Dahl reprograms the dispensers to fabricate military defense operators when he invades, but if the dispensers could do such thing, why Talos I crew didn't even tried to do such thing when the Typhons escaped containment instead on relying on very weak turrets? Why Danielle Sho who promised to help, escaped alone lauching one of data vaults instead on trying to communicate to get more people to leave with her(if she did it before we even get to contact with her in the window of the crew quarters gym, how she escaped the station since when we launch out of the Deep Storage, she completely vanishes from the game?), and the glimpses you get when you play through the game just reveals that your adventure is essentially worthless, and it's never explained what truly happened in Talos I, what happened to the real Morgan, did the station blew up or was nullwaved, why Alex is the only human there. sounds like everything gone to hell. It's a Awesome game, hell it's probably one of the best of 2017 and the DLC is awesome, but christ the story sometimes feels rushed.
The weird thing is Morgan says in an older transcribe. That we have to escape and warn everyone
Cody, great video. I do have some questions for you to look into:
1. Thoughts on what happened to Morgan? Did they use his corpse to make a Typhon? Or do they just have his memories and keep using them to upload to a Typhon and keep running experiments?
2. Where is Alex and the robots at the end of the game? Another Space Station? Somewhere else?
3. When does the game actually take place. How much time has passed? Why are the other characters in operators, but Alex is actually there, and appears to be the same age, or is he an illusion, as there is that one frame where he disappears..
4. What's with the "Survivor's Account of the Evacuation" texts on Talos One? These seem to be describing the Typhon invasion of earth, but those events take place after Morgan's adventures on Talos one.
Just curious about your thoughts on this great game, thanks!
Yo, this was a fantastic video. I'm glad you spent the time! Great job Cody!
Thank you very much!
6:20 ' taaahphin hoomin haahbrid' lol
nice video though, cant wait for more prey!
Lol I love his accent.
loved the video. Very well made! Subscribed :)
You can also self destruct, but get on escape pod (which gives you similar ending to leaving in the shuttle)
I chose to blow up the station, but after initiating the self destruct I used the escape pod. It shows the same cutscene of the station blowing up, but with the escape pod barrelling towards Earth.
the screen definitely does flicker during the final scene as some people have mentioned. i caught it because i saw the youtube video of the screen doing the same thing at the start during the helicopter sequence. very curious indeed and intentional, not a glitch.
This was really well done; love the animations.
I really, really liked this ending, but the one thing that kind of puts me off a little is typhorgan's hand going all human when you take Alex's hand. To be honest, on my playthrough I didn't even notice it happening, which is odd.
So, what do we take from this? Did the introduction of human "empathy" make the Typhon mimic the human form, or did the Typhon part 'die off', reverting back to human? Humans become Typhon in the game, so I assume the reverse might be possible too.
I think it's a pretty basic symbol that the typhon has full empathised with humans. It's mentioned in the game how the typhon aren't like humans in that they can't empathise with anything, or at least not humans - becoming one with us suggests a large amount of empathy.
I guess that is meant to be the message there, but it still feels a bit weird. A visual representation of something that's been more subtly worked on is kind of weird. Like seeing a rainbow in the sky over earth, and having Alex say: "you know, kid..I think it's gonna be aaaawwwwright!".
it's also strange cause you can't actually see your reflection when playing, except for the non cannon, 4th wall intro where you choose a gender.
I think it tells us that the after credits scene is a simulation also and only after taking alex's hand(if you choose to so) will you be awoken into reality. If you kill everyone they kill you and start over with another typhon.
@@Toasty2I hate to be that guy but often times, you don't get your reflection in video games because the real time render of a reflection like that (moving and getting very close) would affect performance quite a bit and cause a massive fps drop. So devs find it better to just remove it all together. The shadows work though and they look just like Morgan.
Imagine that in a potential Prey 2, it turns out that Tommy from the original Prey (2004) is behind the Typhon Invasion, considering the ending of that game and the overall theme of outerbody experience and body snatching. (^_^) jk, u know
You miss the little touch developers added to the game, the ending (if good) reveals you are in another simulation (Yeah basically a simulation inside a simulation inside another simulation). The last choice is in fact the real test you are facing, whether after all those experiences you are willing to help humans or not. If you decide to kill them, you would probably be executed instantly and you would die thinking you killed while in fact they were testing you for a last time making you think its finally the real world.
A clever idea since you could have realised one way or another you were in a simulation all that time in the station while the final revelation barely gives you 5 minutes to realise the whole enviroment is "fake"... Simulating the real room, almost fully, where you are would definetely make you think you are out of the simulation.
Fascinating idea indeed
I'm convinced there is a way to successfully escape using one of the escape pods. There is a ton of talk in emails and documents that make it clear that none of the escape pods were designed to work, but one guy was working on one to operate as intended. I gotta find it
You can escape via Alex's escape pod or Dahl's shuttle at the end. The ending video just changes what escape vehicle you use. You just can't use Alex's shuttle until you activate the Nullwave or Self-Destruct otherwise you get a rather quick ending calling you a quitter.

Amazing video!
The game was really fun when I played it, I was worried I might not get the secret good ending but I did on my first run
such a great job! liked and sub'd
i just finished the game, and video were helpful, thanks cody i subbed.
yooooo so quick simple theory here. alex says the whole experience was morgans memories on board the ship.
from this we can safely assume that morgan did save everyone on board talos1 and used the nuerowave device as a cannon ending. thanks to the memory of those people surviving and the fact that we wake up a typhon having had a human neuromod installed. BUT this has a major implication. this means morgan partook in every neuromod available.
this doesnt really change the ending unless even the final scene is a memory but i highly doubt that as the ending is made specifically vague for a sequel opportunity.
Nice video man!
Thanks man!
Thank you for the work you put into this which helped me to fully understand the endign i experienced minutes ago :)
awesome, glad to be of help! Thanks for watching!
Def subbed thanks bro
Great vid man
Thank you! -Cody
I don't think it's a hybrid, i came across i diary that suggested putting human mirror neurons that make empathy into a typhon, thus giving it human emotions. that's what I think you are. A full-blown typhon, but with the feelings of a human
Subscribed!
Great video man
5:28 you could also do it at the end when you set the bomb off and then use the escape pod
good job explaining every thing
Awesome man!! Gained a sub
Marcus sears glad you enjoyed!
Great video, resumes very well the game!
I just finished it 5 min ago :D
* What were the ''Real Morgan'' tests about? It's known that he went in for an extended testing period, which is considered unusual. They also switched from weekly testing to daily testing.
* Why did they start testing on Morgan on a daily basis? For how long? They had a couple of days on the whiteboard.
* Did Morgan create the Operators (January, October, December) during this weekly testing? Was he just utterly confused, but still had access to all facilities inside Talos 1? There are some documents and audio logs that imply Morgan was active on the station in between tests (during weekly tests I suppose), but for example Mikhaila states that she thought he was earthside (this is after they switched to daily testing?)
* Were they testing Typhon power neuromods (mimicry, remote control) on Morgan? Maybe they switched to daily testing here? This seems likely because you fail all the tests no matter what you do in the beginning, and there are mentions of changing the tests to ''spooky action'' (at a distance) and I think something to do with mimicry?
* Did testing of these Typhon power neuromods have something to do with why the Typhons ''attack''? Or did it start with the first Neuromods? Aliens were discovered a long time ago, but the introduction of Neuromods definitely seems to be a catalyst. I seem to have forgotten most of the lore about Psychoscopes, I'll read up on that!
* Neuromods were being smuggled out of the facility.
Thanks for the vid, especially the first part about he history was pretty good, I was fuzzy on that. Where did you get those animations?
kankeriseenziekte I believe you can find the animations on Bethesdas channle.
What i think they were trying to do is see if morgans typhon neuromods are working or not
I can't remember who but someone mentions how you're given a blank neuromod for that day, so when you fail ALL 3 tests the scientists get really confused.
kankeriseenziekte i think the movie momento applies here perfectly
Buddy, doe eens effe rustig. Caps Lock zit als het goed is links op uw toetsenbord. Ik discrimeneertje helemaal niemand.
Finished the game last night, will replay it sometime soon!
Well written and well spoken explanation. Thank you.
Great vid
I just want to know why the phantoms kept asking about the shapes in the glass. I heard the Psychiatrist say it in a transcribe but was hoping more would come of it. and the looking glass technology, wish there had been more sbout that.
Its probably too late now, but the typhons didn't have a self identity, and the ones that "borrow" human bodies to become phantoms are caught saying one liners. But it is established that they do it purely out of the shadow of the once human dna, memory, or mind they devoured.
They don't actually talk and mean what they say... at least not until the very end when you're trying to get the arming keys.
@@iheartdonuts662 never too late! Thanks for chiming in.
dont know if you know already but theyre just saying things thatre in the brains of the corpses they posess. Just random words and sentences of their host they got the body from
I read every little piece of information in this game and never got that the soviets tried to kill Kennedy
The way you say timeline was enough for me to subscribe and give a 👍 😃
Wasn't there also an ending where you blow up the station and manage to escape? That one seems pretty cool to me.
Where did you get those story videos from? Are they from some E3 trailer?
Thank you so much for this! I appreciate the time you put into this, it was very helpful.
Great job, mate
nice job dude, lost it when you said" a sexy southern accent like mine, what in tarnation"
Every time I beat Prey, I always choose to activate the Prototype Nullwave because I love the station so much that I don’t want to destroy it but I do want to save the data and save the world at the same time.
I will be doing a run where I blow up the place.
Where did the animated footage come from?
You know it's a high probability that the human Tyson hybrid was most likely Morgan yu
I do declare, thanks for the video kindly....
Late for the party but I figured this out. Preys entire plot and meaning is in the inkblot image. If you look at one side of it, it looks exactly like the brain found on the monitor screen at 'The Hidden Place' computer. If you look at it that way the image represents two minds connected in the center which means Alex didn't create Typhon neuromods but made a Human neuromod to link into the Typhons mind allowing them to experience and feel human emotions which they were incapable of. Our character is a Typhon/human hybrid and the entire experiment was based on seeing if Human neuromods could be implemented to make the Typhon understand us. Weather or not Alex succeeded though is another question as the ending is ambiguous.
Bloody excellent story telling and explanation of prey keep it up.
Where are those animated sequences around 0:50 from??
I really enjoyed the prey experience here in 2020. Really cool station to explore and loved the Deus ex interactivity of the work stations/food.
No complaints at all except that I can only imagine it would have been a lot better as a next gen PS5 era game.
The engine didn't do the ideas justice and it's time for the next gen anyway
Nice video.
0:16 WTF, I just finished the game after 50 hours, and had no idea you can use the turrets.
He just mimic the turret
great video keep it up
I have another theory... All this visions during the game not the "Typhons trying to talk to you", many times we hear explanation that Typhons doesn't have mind in any way similar to ours, they are too much alien, and that we don't even exist for them. So there no reason for them to talk to us, they just don't need and actually just can't do that. No, this is real Morgan conscience in you trying to tell you not that this all is simulation, but that this last talk with Alex about conquered Earth etc after post credit scene is a lie too!!!
We saw in this visions same scenery of Earth that Alex showing to us in the end with and without coral in few fast flashes, and Morgan's! voice (same gender as you choose) tells us that they lying to us. We know that simulation is restarting every time Alex doesn't get result he wants, so what if this last talk is just part of another bigger test/simulation, who knows how many times we having this conversation, maybe part of Morgan's mind installed in Typhon and that can actually perceive existence of time itself (Typhons doesn't know concept of time at all) starting to remembering previous "versions" of this conversation and trying to tell us about this. Plus Alex doesn't seems like guy who gonna risk his life trying to convince alien monster he himself created, he's to smart and calculative for this. And it's not gonna be first time when simulation ending up being part of another bigger simulation, and continuing this scheme can become the "triple plot twist"!!!
Sorry for language..
Where are the animations from? Is there an animated series about Prey that I dont know about? I want in! Also, just finished this game and I haven’t been that interested in a story since half life 2. So good.
so is talos 1 still in crisis at the end? or did earth get overrun before Talos 1 did?
Ever notice how desk plants look like Markers from Dead Space?
Basically, they performed a mind upload of Morgan's personality on an alien brain.
I came finally to the end of Prey when i helped Alex.
The ending was unbelievable but i just hope that they bring out PREY 2 for more typhon action maybe on earth !!! ;D
You sound like you're form Mississippi I'm from Alabama Love the southern Drawl Ya'll and this is a great video
he said seven operators but I only saw four and only four in my play through to.but there's one thing I don't understand what actually happened to Morgan yu after
This man is a country boy, and it makes it much better of a video
I wish I could make my Siri’s voice have this guys accent, being from the Midwest I actually find his accent homely.
so my understand is
base of morgans memory is basically you do in whole singleplayer whateverr you blew up talos 1 or save all? im pretty sure.
but i kinda enjoyed this game alot since like deus ex style
Welp, time to save the world as a hybrid Typhon-Human powerhouse in Prey 2.
My mother language is italian and I understood perfectly everythig, thank you, I finished the game yesterday and I was pleased
I read this comment so fast, I was like, your mother language is ALIEN!?!
Where did these animations come from? I don't remember them from the game.
Who made the animation used in your clip?
is it possible to use the neuromods to change my name to Cody?
I liked this game a lot, only thing i didn't liked was how complicated some of the archievements/thropies are to get XD
Thanks I was a little confused. This game is SIIIICK
God, I still remember how much of a mind f*ck this game was on my first time playing😂
good job bro
The Typhon have not invaded Earth. Alex says this himself: "We've spent years trying to put what you can do into us. We never tried to put what we can do into you." They simply used the Typhon tech to augment Earth.
Great Vis Cody.Subbed
Thank you very much!

very good vid deserves more views
Happy Gaming thanks dude!
