Dishonered

[NoNameMcgee]

Sorry to spoil the party but lets not get our hopes up too much. Remember Dead Island? A debut trailer that doesn't show an ounce of gameplay should maybe interest you, but not excite you. Otherwise you're setting yourself up for a fall.

Looking at this objectively, the game is developed by Arkane Studios, only known previously for making Dark Messiah of Might and Magic which received mixed reception at best.

Btw, if anyone is expecting the visuals to be ANYTHING like the pre-rendered CGI trailer (some of the assumptions the gaming community makes continue to shock me and the youtube comments seem to point towards most people believing these are genuine game visuals)....

Go to: http://www.dishonored.com/

There's some screenshots there, its using UE3 and as usual with this outdated shitty engine the game looks low quality with the exception of one screenshot on a boat. Art style is nice though.

How the game actually plays remains to be seen so real visuals are all we can comment on at this point.

Until I see some IN GAME game play...I don't care.

 

[Quaidis]

I will stay skeptical until the game comes out. We've all seen pretty cutscenes before, especially lengthy ones. And it's high time everyone knows that a pretty cutscene does not equal good or even okay game play.

 

[Laser Priest]

It's a supernatural, Neo-Victorian Assassination game, apparently with developers from the original Deus Ex and one of the Thief games involved.

I hope the game is as good as it sounds. Until I can find out, I suppose a cinematic trailer will satisfy my appetite...

>Steampunk/Dieselpunk styled theme

Except it isn't steampunk/dieselpunk because nothing in the trailer was powered by steam or diesel.

What the fuck do you call it then? Whalepunk? Blubberpunk?

 

[Flack]

Yep, very excited. The trailer reminded me of assassin creed (the whole assination/roof running thing, duh) and the robot/cybord/whatever men reminded me of the Combine from Half Life 2.

Wait so... we get to, we get to play as Jesus? Cause I mean the guy in the beginning looks exactly like Jesus.

It's been said a few times but Publishing is not Developing. Developing means you are putting in the man hours to code or program. Publishing means you're backing the project with funds and as such have some creative control. Perhaps too much, but... c'est la vie, no?

Seemingly Victorian culturally, while post-modern technologically. Lets call it Techno-punk. Or Hydraulpunk, or Numatipunk, or Non-Conventional-Locomotion-punk... Fuckin' nitpickers...

I was excited until I saw the first person scenes. Then I just lost all interest.

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

Very excited for this game since I saw the trailer. I love the world's design, especially that mask. Very very cool design, and the story doesn't look half bad either

 

[Zeema]

i can't wait too play it. Steampunk stuff is pretty cool

 

[JoesshittyOs]

Ya know.... I'm strangely not looking forward to it. Something about that trailer just didn't flow well with me.

I have a feeling it's gonna be one of those games with a neat idea and setting, yet falls on it's ass with gameplay.

 

[Deadyawn]

It looks pretty interesting. If I had to geuss I'd say it's probably going to be an FPS with "magic" a la bioshock. Unfortunately that clashes somewhat with the whole free running/stealth/assassination thing they had going there. I can't really imagine an amalgamation of the two without it becoming a complete mess.

 

[Bat Vader]

The guy who did the concept art for Half-Life 2 is doing art for this game so in terms of style its gonna be top notch.

Everything in that trailer reeks of COMBINE.

If they do a Collector's Edition I would love to see an art book included in it. I love how it looks like Half-Life 2 but set in the Victorian Era.

 

[Thoric485]

Arkane know how to do combat, can't wait for this.

 

[Nomanslander]

People are going to be crying "Bioshock ripoff!!!

How is it a Bioshock rip-off? Only similarity I see is the theme which is steam-punkish.

Either than that I don't see any Big Daddies or underwater cities.

Steampunk =/= Steam Powered

From what I understand, steampunk is basically science fiction as conceived from a victorian perspective, which means that steam-powered gadgetry is common, but not necessary.

OP:
Wasn't even vaguely interested in this game, then I saw this trailer. Pretty freakin hyped.

Could the term "telsa-punk" be used ? Since it looks like they have some kind of electric system. It could be magic but from what the trailer showed, magic is in the hands of certain people.
