Rumour: Dishonored studio rebooting Prey 2

Dishonored maker Arkane Studios is rumoured to be building Prey 2 from scratch after Bethesda removed original developer Human Head Studios from the long-delayed project. Unconfirmed reports on Prey 2 fan site Alien Noire and Kotaku suggest Arkane’s parent company may have forced the game on the studio after a short spell in development at Obsidian proved unsuccessful and Rebellion Developments declined the chance to work on the title. It’s claimed that the game is now being built on the Dishonored engine with a new target release date of 2016. We've approached Bethesda for comment.

Last April, Bethesda denied reports that Prey 2 had been cancelled, but said it had chosen to delay the game beyond 2012 due to quality concerns. “The delay is due to the fact that game development has not progressed satisfactorily this past year, and the game does not currently meet our quality standards,” the company said. “We are determined only to release the AAA game that fans rightfully expect, and are unwilling to compromise our quality standards to meet a release schedule.” Six months later, Human Head designer Nathan Cheever said Prey 2 was "in limbo".

In a Prey 2 preview from E3 2011, we described the game as “an open world, Blade Runner-meets-Mirror’s Edge sci-fi shooter,” adding: “Our only reservation is honestly that Prey 2 sounds too good to be true.”

Asus X44H Power Jack Replacement

Here we had an Asus X44H with a somewhat functioning power jack. After wiggling the plug around and getting the contact point just right, the laptop would charge and have power. It was a surprise to have a faulty jack after less then one year of use, especially on an Asus brand.

With some careful disassembley and removing the old jack which was soldered in, the new jack was put in place and the laptop now has power again the way it should!

The first thing is removing the cover plate from the bottom of the laptop and all of the 2×12 and 2×8 screws connecting the bottom and top sides together. And disconeect the WiFi antennas as well as remove the hard drive from the laptop by sliding it over and pulling up.

Once the bottom is taken care, the keyboard has to be removed by popping the top out along the top edge. There are four points that need to be popped out. Once the keyboard is loose, the ribbon cable underneath can be removed to disconnect the keyboard. There are four 2×8 screws then to remove that hold the palm rest in place. As well as removing the power button cable, speaker cable, and video cable from their connectors. One that is done the entire top panel or palm rest can be removed and set aside.

Next, the USB header cable on the bottom right of the motherboard can be removed and the motherboard can be pulled out.

There is now easy access to the power port located right next to the Ethernet jack. Five leads need to be de-soldered and then the jack can be pulled right out. Solder the new jack in place with care, and a good solder joint and everything can be put back together in reverse order.

And there we have it, powered up with the batter charging without having to wiggle the plug around!

Electronic Arts is dropping out of the Online Pass racket, and several of its properties already reflect the decision. Games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Dragon Age II, and Mass Effect 2 have had their pass-gated components priced down to free on Xbox Live (via NeoGAF), and EA says more are to come.

"As we discontinue Online Pass for our new EA titles, we are also in the process of eliminating it from all our existing EA titles as well," an EA representative told our sister site CVG.

"Players will see it first with some EA Sports titles, where a prompt to enter an Online Pass code will no longer appear in-game; with other titles we are simply making Online Passes available free of charge online."

The rolling updates will take effect over the next several weeks, until the used-game monetizing initiative is no more. At least, no more from EA--how Microsoft and Sony plan to deal with used games on their respective next-gen consoles remains hazy.

Does this mean battlefield 3 dlc is free now, too? Reply Report

How cute, but this no longer feels like a gesture of goodwill anymore now that the cat's out of the bag. With the Xbone's DRM system, the online pass isn't necessary anymore anyway. So nice try EA, but you are still a greedy, piece of shit company. Reply Report

I'm guessing 90% of the people who aren't bothered by "always online" are kids who don't understand the possibly terrible future.I can and have taken out and replayed everything from my NES to my Dreamcast. Microsoft wants you to re-buy everything from their last console. What happens when they shut down the servers for the Xbone? Sure they might release a patch but this is a company that said the 360 was b-compatible and they gave up after only a handful of games.So yeah, think ahead children. What you might be able to "deal with" now may come around and bite you in the ass later on. Reply Report

Is this going to happen on PSN as well? Reply Report

Yep, they're rolling it out to all existing EA titles. Xbox Live just came first. Reply Report

This is pretty cool but I can't help but think that this has got something to do with their new partnership with Microsoft :/ Reply Report

FoxdenRacing - 7 hours, 17 minutes ago

Absolutely it does. This tells me [as a software engineer] that EA is maintaining a separate set of servers for the Pass stuff, and with MS handling it for them next gen they see the chance to get rid of the expense for something that isn't cost effective to keep running. Reply Report

In that case it's PS4 FTW! Hoping that they don't come up with any such thing Reply Report

FoxdenRacing - 5 hours, 32 minutes ago

What I want to know is whether PS4 will pursue something similar to what XBone's doing. If they do, I won't bother with them either. Reply Report

Ubisoft's E3 2013 Lineup will include Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Watch Dogs, Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell Blacklist, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and more. The publisher will show off its upcoming lineup on stage at 3 p.m. PDT on June 10 and on the show floor throughout the conference.

“This is a pivotal moment for the video game industry, and E3 is the opportunity for us to share our vision for the future,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said in a release. “We have many incredible games in development, and we’re especially excited to share more on our next-gen titles, which will deliver more connected, immersive and interactive experiences to our fans.”

That's all well and good for us media types, but the general public (by that we mean select Uplay members) can go hands-on with some of the same games at the Uplay Lounge near the LA Convention Center. Keep your eye on uplay.com if you plan to be in the area.
