Dishonered

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

uhh sci-fi, things dont need a "punk" to be cool.

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.

Actually Steampunk is dependent on things powered by steam.

Bethesda is doing a large amount of work here?

So we should expect the game to crash often, and require fan made patches to even run at a suitable level? And PS3 users are screwed?

Good to know.

Bethesda isnt making on the game.

Seriously how do people not get this.

Sooo this is Assassinshalflifebioshockhazecreed? Not sure, not a fan of steampunk really.

Infact I'm not even fully sure what that means but the word is being thrown around this trailer a lot.

Steampunk is a genre which came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction. It involves a setting where steam power is widely used?whether in an alternate history such as Victorian era Britain or "Wild West"-era United States, or in a post-apocalyptic time ?that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art.

There is no steampowered things thus there is no steampunk.

First thing, sorry but I can't stop laughing at the guards on mechanize stilts. Ok I take it knocking them over won't be a easy tasks. I bet there are some "despot" for them to take a piss while still on stilts (pretty much a high rise toliet).

Overall the game look like a early mechanical (can't call it steampunk seeing SajuukKhar is annoyed that word being used in the trailer since there's no steam in the video) version of Thief/ Assassin Creed.

Thought it looked awesome before, even more hyped now. Its like they've thrown together every game feature I like, and put them all into one game.

 

[Nocola]

Looks like Bioshock and Assassin's Creed made sweet steamy love.

I didn't know about this but I'm very excited now.

Steampunk DarkAngel fans unite!

 

[remnant_phoenix]

This my most anticipated new IP in...as long as I can remember.

When I read the Game Informer cover story I thought...did someone hack into my mind and begin created one of my dream games based on what they found?! This is gonna be so good!

I usually try to avoid getting into hype too much, but I can't help msyelf with Dishonered.

When I saw those mechanised stilt-guards and knew about the Half-Life influence, I had to ask myself - are these tall guys just here to supply the tall-thing fix fans of the aforementioned game need?
Or is that what qualifies for innovative and original enemies these days? Regular enemies on stilts?

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.

=/

Note: this is not my assumption but one I had to correct friends on:

The guy has powers, and it's a first-person game in a steampunk setting.

Like I said, I do not believe the statement, but SOME do.

Actually, I wasn't directed the argument towards you but who ever that's saying that...lol

sorry

 

[LookingGlass]

Arkane Studios know what I like. I need no other details to know that I want this game.

A little gameplay footage would be nice though.

 

[Elemental]

I like how a lot of people are correcting other people by saying that it's not steampunk and not made by Bethesda and yet they completely ignores it.

Anyway, I've already read any existing information about this game and I have high hopes, I hope it won't fail because it really does looks awesome, can't wait

 

[Dandark]

It seems there is some confusion as to what Steampunk is. Luckily I have happened by to explain it all.

Spoiler: Steampunk

OT: Looks like an interesting game, I am going to keep an eye out for news about it but im not sure whether I will like it or not yet. I like the setting though, it's pretty cool.

There's some in-game footage spread about in the following video;


Fresh style, I like it.
