The fuck? I was looking forward to that you fucks.
Because fuck original and good ideas
Holy shit, that was really unexpected. I was looking forward to it. :(
[B]Are you fucking kidding me[/B]
Wasn't this near to completion?
Really unexpected and out of the blue. I really hope this is just a rumour and if not, I hope it will meet the same faith as True Crime Hong Kong (now known as Sleeping Dogs) and the developers get another publisher with a new chance to realise their project. I really do hope so, it looked so promising.
[QUOTE=evilweazel;35265831]Because fuck original and good ideas[/QUOTE] The Doctrine forbids them apparently. Nonetheless it sucks that fresh original stuff isn't valued as highly in this bitter winter of discontent that is the recession, with repeated iteration believed to be a more reliable source of income by the big-wig fat-cat capitalists. Even though people are comfortable with what they're familiar with, they should be more appreciative of things that're original. Big-name publishers just get in the way of creative spirit; if it's possible to self-publish then you should do just that, since word of mouth is a powerful tool (certainly worked well for Minecraft, with "worked well" being being quite the understatement) and if the game is interesting enough you could get a lot of cool smart people having a gander at it and maybe even throw their money at the screen. That aside, RiP Prey 2; saw promise in the build I saw back at Eurogamer, I liked what I saw, so sad it's been scrapped. Bethesda's got some big explainin' to do.
Well that was surprising.
Fuck, and it was looking [I]so[/I] good too!
They were making Prey 2?
What the hell, the gameplay previews looked so good! I was really looking forward to the free-running futuristic bounty hunter premise. God damn it Bethesda. [editline]23rd March 2012[/editline] Wait what, those tweets are over a month old.
Had a really strong impression this was being published by 2K real shame if true because it was looking good.

Well, guess I can forget learning more about Tommy and whatever he did after Prey 1.

Bethesda has always sucked balls.
[QUOTE=BenJammin';35266267]Bethesda has always sucked balls.[/QUOTE] Bethesda, the publisher has. Bethesda [U][I]Studios,[/I][/U] the game company, has never sucked balls.

It's a shame, it looks like it was made to be fun, rather than to just make money. I mean, from the cinematic trailer, there are ideas in there that you can tell were just put there so that the player would have fun. There's no way the developers were taking this entirely seriously, which makes it feel way more fun. I mean, the guy the main character's chasing is a stereotypical gangster guy, who speaks exactly how you'd expect, but he's an alien who can teleport.
Well, that is the shittiest news of the day. [editline]23rd March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Daniel Smith;35266320]Mass Effect 4 [editline]23rd March 2012[/editline] I haven't played any of the Mass Effect games so it is just my opinion.[/QUOTE]What does Mass Effect have to do with this?
[QUOTE=Lambeth;35266353]eh skyrim got pretty boring fast[/QUOTE] I didn't mean the games they made didn't suck, I meant that the company isn't filled with assholes, like Ubisoft or EA.
Actual gameplay, to be honest it doesn't really look [I]that[/I] good/fun imo. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu_RCAMjA0E&feature=related[/media]
This looks fun.

NOONONONOONONOONONONONOONONONONONONO FUUUUUUUUCK FUCKING FUUUUUUUUUCK I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS SO HARD YOU MOTHERFUCKERS I HATE YOU ZENIMAX BURN IN HELL THIS WAS THE CLOSEST I COULD GET TO A BLADE RUNNER-STYLE ACTION GAME
let us prey that its just a rumor.
[QUOTE=Fisk;35266482]Actual gameplay, to be honest it doesn't really look [I]that[/I] good/fun imo. [/QUOTE] Holy cow the gameplay looks TERRIBLE.
A new original great game that would make a lot of money? Lol nope, let's keep milking the games we already have!
