Skip intro splash screens for prey

[SCwirl86]

Has anyone figured out how to skip intro splash screens yet?
Any files I need to rename or commands I need to implement?

Rename: in ...steamapps\common\Prey\GameSDK\Videos

Ryzen_Bumper.bk2
ArkaneLogoAnim_Redux_1080p2997_ST-16LUFS.bk2
Bethesda_logo_anim_white.bk2
LegalScreens.bk2

to

Ryzen_Bumper.bk2.bak
ArkaneLogoAnim_Redux_1080p2997_ST-16LUFS.bk2.bak
Bethesda_logo_anim_white.bk2.bak
LegalScreens.bk2.bak

or what ever you want.

I put "X_" at beginning of those filenames. Just something I always do. Worked like a charm.
You're the best, @Plage

Yeah, I really get annoyed when they make those things unskipable in game. Its like I wanna play not stare at company logos for 30-60 seconds.

I never understand why developers don't make them unskippable the first time, but skippable after that.

Mybee it's a contract-thing
"You have to show our logo, or we lick your cat!"

Doesn't work for me. Doing that removes all audio. Making the game act as it did yesterday before Bethesda deployed the first patch.

You know what, I've done those processes of renaming files a couple of times and always put stuff at the end of the file like a dummy. But your way is much better because they'll be alphabetical. Thanks for the tip!

Many thanks!

Indeed, unskippable intros are a pesky thing, just like on Blue-Ray movies with these annoying forced intros, babbling about companies, ads and stuff. Good hints here.

Here's the logic as I understand it.

On PS4/Xbox1, PSN/XBL need time to start up alongside the game, no matter how little time the game takes to load its menu. So, if the menu is loaded early, the developers are asked to show company logos during that time rather than "XBL is loading."

On PC, MS/Sony request that there not be marked differences between the PC and console versions. Obviously there are still differences like graphics quality, but large differences would include skippable company logos.

This is old secondhand knowledge, so it's possible some of it is wrong.

It should only be the first time the game is launched you have to watch them all the way through. After that you should be able to skip. The Witcher 3 is excellent in this regard.

In the interests of escaping that inconvenience, I rip them to my computer ;)

Stumbled upon this and wanted to give a Thank You to Plage!
