NBC has ordered a scripted series for summer about a reality show gone way bad.

Siberia, which will bow July 1 at 10 p.m., is about a group of contestants who arrive in a remote Siberian territory of Tunguska where a meteor hit back in 1908. When a player is badly hurt and no help arrives, the 16 contestants realize the strange occurrences on the island are not part of the show.

?The concept of survival, when mysterious elements are at play, makes for a compelling show,? said Jeff Bader, President, Program Planning, Strategy and Research for NBC Entertainment, in a statement. ?We believe a scripted series that offers an insightful behind-the-scenes view of how a reality concept comes together ? especially when things don?t go according to plan ? will connect with our audience in a very satisfying way.?

Looks pretty interesting, but with a premise like this I wonder how many seasons they can get out of it. After maybe 2 or 3, it's got to explain a lot of what is really happening and kind of shift its focus. But it does look kinda cool and weird.

I think it's just a one season thing to show during the Summer

Ye, don't see how this can stay on the air longer than one season. Maybe even get canceled before the end of the season.

NBC will have nothing on so they will show the full season probably unless its abysmal ratings

Ye it s a good point. If they don't have anything else then we can get stuck with a crappy show just because of that :)

Hmm, the "reality show" approach of it is a bit off for me (this coming from a Survivor fan). Almost 2/3 of the first episode was used to set up the reality show feel. I'll probably wait and see if the next episode are engaging enough. The plot is interesting, though.

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
