LOL That countdown is absolute bullsh*t, You really think a real publisher would make a horrible countdown like that!?

It would be some kind of flash thing that looked a lot more impressive.

Prey 2 is dead!

I actually saw the site (probably a glitch), it's just screenshots, videos and interviews, a forum, etc. Also in their news page it says they have a petition for the game.

It's got nothing to do with the makers, it's a fan site.

It's also obviously some kind of CMS site, Joomla or something.

It's apparently the launch of a fan-site dedicated to Prey 2. Here is what the author had to say:

People are going to be very angry and they have a right to be.

For those who cannot currently access the site: It is a fansite. We never expected it to get the response it did. Sorry for the subterfuge.

"A couple of months ago, some Prey 2 fans hungry for news and concerned for Prey?s legacy, set about creating a place fans could gather to show support for the next chapter in this exciting series.

We posted a countdown to the formal launch hoping a few diehard fans might take notice. We were surprised and overwhelmed by the response, with 50,000 hits in the first 48 hours!

Prey 2 means a lot to many people. While we?re not an official site, we hope our efforts to research and include all known Prey 2 material will show the depth and value this game experience can offer to fans old and new. Who wouldn?t want to play an open-world first-person shooter as a bounty hunter in an alien-noire setting? We hope others feel the same way and drop by to show their support for the game."

Prey was good, but seriously nothing to hype a sequal about considering how many alien FPS's we have today. Prey was just a Quake 4 with a cooler storyline imo. If a game dies, it's often for a good reason, just like Duke forever should have stayed dead.

Which is the difference between a good game and a great game, storylines makes all the difference, if Bioshock didn't have the storyline it did, it wouldn't be half the game it was

Prey also brought in some neat game mechanics, portals, gravity floor, even the resurrection system was unique.

While I doubt they can meet expectations some people might have for a Prey 2, I welcome the chance to be disappointed or surprised, if we went around thinking, well this might suck, we better not make it

We'd have nothing.

Yeah, Prey storyline was better than quake's. but to compare it with bioshock... wow!

I think you misunderstood, I wasn't comparing Prey to Bioshock, I was saying that if Bioshock didn't have the story it did, it wouldn't be half the game it was

It would be like every other crappy FPS out there, possibly in line with Duke Nukem.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
