Game reactor to reveal "Secret Game"

karera · Mar 2011

Hey!

Couldn't find this anywhere, so perhaps this is a local Swedish thing.

But, the game magazine Game Reactor is to reveal a secret game the 15th of march.

They have revealed some details about the game. So far these images:

I've been doing several attempts to Photoshop something out of these. And I have my ideas... But It would be fun to hear your thoughts.

Magazine has said that they're gonna reveal a long awaited follow up on a classic game.
So spare me of any games that already is in the loop...

I turn to you guys now. The best detectives there is

a game... WITH A GUY HOLDING A GUN

Wahlgren · Mar 2011

A guy, that does things!

eld · Mar 2011

Ground control 3!

I see a penis

dfacto · Mar 2011

Thank god, I've been waiting for another Commander Keen game for AGES.

teaandcigarettes · Mar 2011

Blargh, I can't make out anything from that pixelated image. Even when I size it down like bajillion times it still looks like pukes.

Extreme Assault II: Assault Extremier

karera · Mar 2011

Guys, pull it into Photoshop, pull some levels

Valandar · Mar 2011

15th of March? Maybe something referring to Caesar and the Ides of March?

pior · Mar 2011

So hmm basically you posted this just to tease us because you figured it out ?

kwakkie · Mar 2011

Uhm... if it was an anticipated game why would they bother revealing it in a 'local' magazine instead of something like gameinformer or edge?

I'm not sure,but seeing that it is the Swedish edition of this magazine, i think it might be Starbreezes Syndicate game.

my money is on that aswell!

karera · Mar 2011

Yeah, since it's been rumors that starbreeze new game currently entitled project "Redlime" is a remake of the classic syndicate... Most indicate that it might be it.

Since it's currently not announced but Starbreeze had said themselves that they will reveal the game soon.

I pulled some levels in photoshop:

pior · Mar 2011

Ha yeah sure for that bottom cover (it shows on the original image already on my screen), but what about the pixel thing?

Wahlgren · Mar 2011

or a new just cause? Could be syndicate aswell.

I think "thats" the cover. Pixelated. The 2nd one is just the outline of the character of the cover. Overlap them too and you might figure out some more

Edit: Or, fill in the blanks! Let's draw some and have them spread, go viral crazy!

leilei · Mar 2011

I think that pistol grip and the explosive shape on his chest is a dead giveaway it's Syndicate.

Don't see no coat though. Maybe those are being deleted like man hair has been deleted lately

Pix · Mar 2011

Somehow it looks like Evil Dead main character.

R3D · Mar 2011

Its a spoiler for the Meet the Medic Trailer

movento · Mar 2011

It seems like its Prey 2

i'm really

in this "redesign" of Tommy. He looks nothing like the original.

odium · Mar 2011

ITS LIKE SAM FISHER HAD SEX WITH GENERIC MARINE 97 FROM CALL OF DUTY AND GAVE UP HIS NATIVE AMERICAN ROOTS!!!

*sighs*

I'm not even sure that's Tommy.

glottis8 · Mar 2011

I am not excited for this at all...

Maybe this is an alternate universe where Tommy was adopted by native american family.

fearian · Mar 2011

Yeah if it is, Tommy changed ethnic groups, soooo...

From the looks of things, I'm gonna guess its a story of human resistance fighters, and they picked a nice generic white guy to tell the story of. MARKETING FUCK YE- awww.

eld · Mar 2011

Maybe it's like a pocahontas story, where he gets to learn THE WAYS from this hot native american cyborg girl, and walk upside down.

Still, it's one of my favorite games, so I have full faith in them.

daphz · Mar 2011

I loved Prey! I think it's awesome they announced a 2nd one but...that character... doesn't excite me.

Entity · Mar 2011

Heard this will run on id Tech 5

I just read a post on NEOGAf from someone who appears to work for this magazine,and he says:

Uh, guys, the press release doesn't say ANYTHING about id Tech 5

Also, the game is very, VERY different than what you think it is. I'll be curious to hear your reactions when you read our feature story.

So it might be running on an upgraded id tech4, like Brink?

teaandcigarettes · Mar 2011

That doesn't look like the Prey I played.

HonkyPunch · Mar 2011

Perhaps Tommy from Prey wasn't the world's most creative character.
But at the very least, he wasn't entirely generic.

roosterMAP · Mar 2011

Prey took 9 years to make... how long will Prey 2 take? 18?
lol

Yeah, for one thing, he had HAIR!

Arac · Mar 2011

Prey is one of the few recent FPS's that I finished, that game kicked ass untill the end.

The redesign of the character has me worried the sequel will become a generic "makerting approved!" shooter. Let's hope not

glottis8 · Mar 2011

"Contrary to the entire games press’ presumption yesterday, semi-unexpected sequel Prey 2 is not going to use the very shiniest, newest version of id Software’s graphics engine, id Tech 5, after all. Bethesda’s Pete Hines waggled his finger at IGN to correct the misconception, claiming that Prey 2′s been on the drawing board for so long that id Tech 5 essentially turned up too late."

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/03/15/prey-2-id-tech-5/

I guess it will take a long time for this one as well.

glottis8 · Apr 2011

So, Prey 2 is dropping the elements of portals and trying to make this a little bit like fallout with a hint of mass effect. To add a little more encouragement, this is what the Prey 2 wiki says: “We are thrilled to be working with Bethesda on Prey 2,” said Chris Rhinehart, project lead. “Prey 2 will provide gamers the opportunity to explore a new facet of the Prey universe, one that offers fast-paced action in an open, alien world . We’re excited to show gamers the title we have been working on and hope they will be as excited by this title as we are.”

I like the concept, i don't really care for the bar image. Any thoughts?

rooster · Apr 2011

its almost like they were working on some random space game and at the last minute slapped a 'prey' sticker onto it. Looks cool I guess, but surely they could release *something* that referenced *anything* from the first game? apart from 'space stuff' obvs

A space western.

Now, where really is Prey 2?

Fomori · Jun 2011

I find those alien designs to be complete naff. Not impressed.

Jeremy-S · Jun 2011

Hmmm, normally when people say "open world" I start to switch off. The game might be good, and all, but I tend to lose interest in open world stuff. It feels more like "here's a city. Fuck around till you get bored, and switch it off" I'd MUCH rather have a story, and a sense of urgency to get something done. If the game is linear, with an immersive story, then I'm happy. if it's open, with a bunch of random shit going on, that may or may not involve me in some way, then I don't care anymore. I'd rather do something else.

About the aliens, well... Not a fan of those designs either, but hopefully there will be different species that will be cooler. Like the guy at the end of the trailer.
