Prey Story & Ending Explained - "Prey Ending Explained" Prey Storyline 2017 

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*

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?

For ending part, I partly expected to hear "Good Morning Morgan"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The devhaass will kill all the tafaan! 04:19

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?

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.

this game badly needed a teleport between places - got tired of all that aimless walking

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

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

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.

The weird thing is Morgan says in an older transcribe. That we have to escape and warn everyone

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 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’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

Did they get Aaron Ingram to voice this video? ;) Loved this game, they setup a 2nd game very well.

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.

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!

Tahfyn' xD

0:16 WTF, I just finished the game after 50 hours, and had no idea you can use the turrets.

* 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?

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.

6:20 ' taaahphin hoomin haahbrid' lol nice video though, cant wait for more prey!

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.

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

You know it's a high probability that the human Tyson hybrid was most likely Morgan yu

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

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

I appreciate your simple, concise and to the point explanation

Master Chief, clad in future super soldier mechanized suit Link, armed with a self repairing sword that can vanquish evil Morgan Yu, a 9 inch eyeball syringe full of headcrab serum

This doesn't explain how the hell you end up at that hidden location especially after you destroy the station and everyone on it.

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

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.

Government couldn't do anything, yet a private company got something within 5 years. Once again proving the free market is better than government

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.

You can also self destruct, but get on escape pod (which gives you similar ending to leaving in the shuttle)

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 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..

I read every little piece of information in this game and never got that the soviets tried to kill Kennedy

so what did the real morgan yu do?

Wasn't there also an ending where you blow up the station and manage to escape? That one seems pretty cool to me.

Pause the video on 7:06 and press the dot ( . ) on your keyboard slowly for a few times, that will make your video go frame by frame every time you press that key. You'll see on 7:08 that Alex is a hologram and that he isn't in the room with Morgan and 4 Operators. Alex is most likely dead like all humans, and Operators which have human minds in them are trying to save the humanity with this testing somehow.

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.

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

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.

I'm kind of dissapointed. It's hard to really get into a story you unravel when it was just a memory and you're not actually Morgan. I actually felt a sense of "oh shit" when I woke up after Bellamy died in the testing rooms. I just want the actual story with Morgan to be explained too, because at the moment his story isn't truly clear.

There was no boss fight :'(

My ending was so weird. I was planning to do the right thing but when that flash happened where the voice said “they’re lying to you” I just thought “fuck this” I killed Alex on the bridge then activated the self destruct and then killed January and escaped in alexs pod. So it kinda doesn’t make sense that Alex is then alive. But it’s cool cos I killed him again as the typhon xp

Honestly the ending really disappoints me after having put over 50 hours into my first playthrough.

This was really well done; love the animations.

Why would anyone chose to "kill them all" in the end of the game?

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

I wish I could make my Siri’s voice have this guys accent, being from the Midwest I actually find his accent homely.

Does that mean that Morgan died, "cloned", or made up? Any hints on that?

this guy's accesnt man... it triggers me the way he says typhon. TAH -FUN

so if it's Morgan's memories does that mean he's dead?

Yo, this was a fantastic video. I'm glad you spent the time! Great job Cody!

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

Basically, they performed a mind upload of Morgan's personality on an alien brain.

Well the simulation was based on Morgan's memories so he existed. He was thrown into the same situation as the Typhon. We dont know what Morgan did exactly, but we know that he did something that triggered the invasion of earth. He caused it. The crew you can save were real people. Morgan didnt save them. And as Morgan created an operator to his image, the other people did as well. Alex must've escaped with these operators, and wanted to see how this hybrid created by himself would behave in a situation like Morgan has been in. Let's say you played the game through good. Then it is obvious for Alex that you have all human and noble qualities, that many people dont have. And on top of all that, you're y typhon as well. You behave like a good man, and you have powers. That's exactly what Alex wants so that he can save the Earth. And the icing on the cake is, that when you have the possibility to grab Alex's hand, or kill him, you're still in a simulation. That's the last test. Are you willing to connect whit people, or not?. If you kill Alex, he would make another hybrid and try the whole thing again. Morgan had a voice. January had the same voice. Why didn't your character speak? Cuz he wasnt Morgan, but a Typhon-human hybrid. Now, on to the loose ends. Morgan's message. That's an enigma really. There's a lot if possibilities. But i think that it was recorded when the mimics broke out. It was well in the testing period of Morgan, so he already knew that it wasnt the first time that his neuromods have been changed, and his memory reset. He knew his brother wouldn't want to destroy the station, but Morgan thought that's the only way. So he created January, to guide Morgan to the recording. He did this cuz he knew Alex was going to strip the neuromod to stop him. It's possible Alex could do it remotley. However it was too much for Morgan. Not only did he not remeber anything, but he was thrown among the broken out mimics of wich he lost almost all knowledge. He went insane, and either could not reach the recording, or didnt care about it. He did something wrong. So what did Morgan do exaclty? We dont know but at least we know it caused Typhon cells to reach Earth Is Morgan alive? We dont know but he's either dead, or went crazy.

Nice video man!

I think that Morgan ended up turning into the Typon at the end of the game because of all the Neuro mods. The game was just replaying Morgan's memories.

Where did the animated footage come from?

I just finished Prey and thought it would be funny to kill Alex instead of taking his hand at the end. Whadda twist!

i just finished the game, and video were helpful, thanks cody i subbed.

nice job dude, lost it when you said" a sexy southern accent like mine, what in tarnation"

The way I see it is that the shuttle that left Talos I got to earth and the world got over run by Typhon. But the people on Talos I survived(or at least some of them) and are trying to create a weapon that can fight the Typhon on Earth. Sequel foreshadowing just like they did in DOOM.

well stated. epic game. finished it thrice over and got the different endings. at the end of the day, unbeknownst to you, you have an ultimate choice. join or die. in this case join alex or kill them all. bring on prey pt. II. I want to see arkane use the void engine for it when it gets made, because it will. thanks for the video dude.

*THE SIMULATION NEVER ENDED!!*

HOLD UP!! this is some pretty sweet cartoon stuff here! did the people who made the game make it or did you?

God, I still remember how much of a mind f*ck this game was on my first time playing😂

''Devaas'' IT'S DEVICE, D E V I C E

What about those god awful hacking minigames? Surely that tourture had some deeper meaning...

Great vid👌🏽

loved the video. Very well made! Subscribed :)

so is talos 1 still in crisis at the end? or did earth get overrun before Talos 1 did?

i still don't understand why morgan was being tested on for 3 weeks

5:28 you could also do it at the end when you set the bomb off and then use the escape pod

This game could have a sequel very similar to Half Life 2 in gameplay story and overall concept.

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

Where did these animations come from? I don't remember them from the game.

This man is a country boy, and it makes it much better of a video

Just say : "Tie" and - "Phone"

While I loved the game, this ending felt kind of anticlimactic, and a bit overly confusing. I would still love to see the story continued, hopefully in the form of a sequel.

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.

Where did you get those story videos from? Are they from some E3 trailer?

*I watched **1:38:50** of prey only to find out there was an 8 minute fucking explanation.*

Amazing video!

got this game for free but i cant be bothered to play this game throughout lmao but the story seems to be interesting, thus im here

"taphon" "devace" "praace" "tam" your neuromods are failing

taaphon human haabrud - hey are you on a horse lassoing cows when you recorded this? whaat an amazaang thaaght

Awesome man!! Gained a sub

wait, what happened to the real Morgan YU ? and if the memories were a reconstruction, did the events truly happen or was it all fabricated ?

is it possible to use the neuromods to change my name to Cody?
