Alien Noire Site More Than Likely a Hoax, Screens of Prey 2 Taken from IGN Gameplay Preview
OnlySP: We're all shaking our heads in disappointment right now. A site that popped up online last month was counting down the days to what was a supposed Prey 2 re-reveal, but it seems that we've all been duped.
(Next-Gen, PC, Prey 2, PS3, Xbox 360)
A spokesperson of Bethesda told Joystiq: "I don't know what that is or who is doing it. It's not something we're doing."
That's not really confirming that it is a hoax. The fact that their spokesman doesn't know anything about it, is not confirming that it is a hoax. It happens a lot in the gaming industry for example the boss of Sony Europe found out a few hours before the Playstation event that the PS4 is going to be announced...
But if it was a hoax, Bethesda would send their lawyer hounds on it just like they did with the whole "Scrolls" lawsuit thing. And that has not happened. The site is still running with every logo's. I think it's the real deal or really good fanwork.
It seems more like something counting own to some sort of announcement than a fansite, and I doubt Bethesda or it's lawyers would be happy letting people think that this was officially endorsed by them if it's unofficial.
Sorry about yelling - but geez - can we please stop equating CG with actual gameplay?
