Shit.

 

[luffeN]

Noooooo!

 

[Slo]

Damn. Looked promising.

 

[Sinatar]

Wasn't linear enough to chase them COD dollars.

Fuck this industry.

 

[Riggs]

Some how not suprised and I don't know why

 

[GameE]

Holy shit if true Never heard of this site tho

 

[Metalmurphy]

I thought it had a really good reaction by the press that played it?

 

[Wario64]

Unheard of site + google translate = skeptical

 

[Neuromancer]

NO FUCKING WAY

Will be so pissed if this true. So pissed

Unheard of site + google translate = skeptical

Yeah

 

[Enkidu]

Huh, that's unexpected. The game looked pretty damn promising as well.

 

[Kusagari]

Honestly, not that surprised.

The game sounded really ambitious. Too ambitious.

 

[Lingitiz]

If true that sucks, looked awesome at E3.

 

[Flame Lord]

WTF? I was starting to dig it too....

 

[Zeliard]

Just when I was actually looking forward to this. Cyberpunk open world games aren't exactly a dime a dozen.

 

[sflufan]

Well, what does lend some credence is that Bethesda pulled the Prey 2 demonstration that was supposed to be at GDC.

 

[McBradders]

Noooooo!

..

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. This game looked so promising. A refreshing change of pace in the sci-fi genre.

 

[Majanew]

If true that sucks, the gameplay looked pretty cool. Sad that it's such a departure from the first game, but I liked what I saw.

 

[evlcookie]

What the fuck? I thought it had a really strong showing at previous shows and looked somewhat feature complete.

Maybe they fear it will bomb like rage did?

What a shame.

 

[slaughterking]

The press seemed to love it. Hard to believe.

 

[Thomper]

Is PSFocus the only source for this? As far as I can recall they're a preeetty small and insignificant Dutch site. It seems weird for them to have the exclusive scoop on this news.

 

[BlingBang]

Hopefully not true. Game looked promising.

 

[Gravijah]

if truly canceled i will cry.

 

[NIGHT-]

NOooooooo!!!! One of my most anticipated games this year

 

[Dipswitch]

Wow. Just rewatched the trailer again the other day. Looked cool. Game was probably a money pit though.

 

[Raitosaito]

....I wanted this game so bad

 

[Patryn]

I'm skeptical as well, because it seemed to me that every time it was shown off, it just impressed people.

I hadn't really heard any bad press.

 

[sflufan]

Is PSFocus the only source for this? As far as I can recall they're a preeetty small and insignificant Dutch site. It seems weird for them to have the exclusive scoop on this news.

Yes, the only one for now.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Man this would really really bum me the fuck out. Was enjoying the slight increase in cyberpunk worlds again...

 

[Zoibie]

Fuck, I hope not. One of my most anticipated games this year.

 

[Keasar]

 

[Cmagus]

this was looking so good I sure as hell hope not

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Maybe moved to next gen? Would be strange to cancel a game so late into development.

 

[Sinatar]

Maybe this is more "embarrass the press" bait to see how many major sites grab this without verifying.

 

[Grisby]

Dammit (if true). I was looking forward to this.

 

[Ashodin]

Maybe they needed to collaborate on DOOM 4 or something, lol.

 

[Neuromancer]

Well, what does lend some credence is that Bethesda pulled the Prey 2 demonstration that was supposed to be at GDC.

To be fair that could have been for any number of reasons.

 

[Thomper]

Yes, the only one for now.

Has PSFocus had any scoops in the past? Don't recall them having any deep contacts within the industry. Something might be going on with Prey 2, but I don't trust PSFocus to break this story first in any way.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Please be a lie. Please be a lie. Please be a lie.

Prey 2 looks awesome as fuck. If it got cancelled, I'd bet that it was heading towards or already in development hell and they decided to pull the plug before it wasted too much money.

 

[Moaradin]

What the fuck? That actually looked promising!

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

one of my most anticipated games of 2012!!!!!

GamesCom demo looks soooooooo goood :O

 

[DTKT]

Oh what the fuck.

It looked awesome.

 

[Kaako]

This better be some April Fools shit because Prey2 looked freaking awesome when they showed it and got a shit ton of positive reception. It has to be a joke.

 

[i-Lo]

I am highly sceptical atm. That said, if true, it would be terribly disappointing.

Wasn't linear enough to chase them COD dollars.

Fuck this industry.

That's a bit of knee jerk reaction. I don't think every game needs to chase after CoD sales figures.

But just to add fuel to fire:

Perhaps they realized the game did not have the potential to be properly annualized.

/trollface

 

[Lavalamp1138]

That's cold, man. Too cold to start a fire.

 

[Khezu]

I don't believe it.

I refuse to believe it.

 

[Lakitu]

Fuck. It better not be. It looks so promising and a kick in the teeth for all those who worked so hard on it. Plus, I love cyberpunk and it's one of my most anticipated games this year.

 

[Jarmel]

WTF IS THIS SHIT?

Come the FUCK ON. We barely get enough high production sci-fi games as it is. Come the fuck on.

 

[Akia]

holy freaking crap, this can't be right. zenimax has already invested so much.

 

[Tashi]

Whoa wtf
