Bethesda removes Prey 2 from its product line-up

Bad news for Prey 2 fans, as there is a high probability that Prey 2 won’t get released on this generation of consoles (and PCs). Back in March, we informed you about Prey 2’s rumored cancellation. According to those rumors, Bethesda had cancelled Prey 2’s development. That was based on the fact that the company had cancelled the Prey 2 event at this year’s GDC, and that they have not shown pretty much anything since the E3 footage. Continue reading Bethesda removes Prey 2 from its product line-up

Success – Crysis 3 will feature unlimited running that will not eat up your suit’s energy

At long last everyone, Crytek has finally realized how stupid it was to automatically activate nanosuit’s speed mode while running. Yes, some people tried to defend Crytek’s decision, claiming that it was due to Alkatraz being hurt and that he could not run without the nanosuit’s ability. Of course, that was a bunch of crap. Truth is that it was an awful decision, a decision that had a major gameplay impact and made a lot of players vulnerable to campers (in Crysis 2’s MP mode). Well, time to forget this dreadful feature as Crysis 3 will sport unlimited running that won’t eat up your suit’s energy. Continue reading Success – Crysis 3 will feature unlimited running that will not eat up your suit’s energy

Remember Gamescom’s schedule which stated that both HL3 and Dragon Age 3 would be present at this gaming event? Well, although we didn’t get any info about them, we got today some leaked information about Dragon Age 3. It’s really fishy as this information got leaked right after the end of Gamescom. The timing is too perfect, therefore it can’t be a simple coincidence. So, according to a leaked survey, it seems that this new Dragon Age game will feature online/co-op modes, special finishing moves, a lot of crucial decisions, drama and suspense, player-controlled day/night modes, better party management and players will control 4 companions at a time. Before jumping to early conclusions, these are not confirmed features yet. Continue reading Dragon Age 3 – Possible Names, Logo and Characters Concept Arts

Warren Spector was going to create a Command & Conquer RPG game; would love to see a Deus Ex HD Remake

Deus Ex is one of the classic PC games. A game that most PC gamers love and would like to see returning. And even though Human Revolution was a worthy successor, it did not have the same impact as the original had a couple of years ago. Truth be told, a HD remake of Deus Ex would be awesome and it seems that we are not the only ones wishing for something like that. Warren Spector, the man behind this PC gem, would also love to see a HD remake of Deus Ex.

Of course and you didn’t, though you should expect it as Obsidian has also cut content from KOTOR 2.
