Face-Off: Dishonored

EuroGamer: "From a design perspective, developer Arkane Studios adds plenty of its own ideas to a formula long established by the likes of System Shock. The visual style is particularly striking, with Half-Life 2 art director Viktor Antonov putting forward a brooding, pastel-toned world and cast of characters to service a tale of betrayal. From the smoggy distilleries to the Athenian sheen of the capital city of Dunwall, we see a clash of the industrial and the monarchical at every turn, and each is vividly realised through a very capable iteration of Unreal Engine 3.

But which version makes the best of it?"

"@60fps, what resolution are you playing on?"

I play all my games at 1920x1080 atm.

till I get my holy grail IPS display. ;-)

Summary... PS3 version looks slightly better than 360. 360 version performs slightly better than PS3 version. And no surprise the PC version looks and performs better than both console versions.

PC has MLAA and FXAA. FXAA looks cleaner in some ways but MLAA seems more crispy in others.

I haven't tried to override the settings via Nvidia control panel settings, but I'm figuring that I will need to wait for a driver up-date from Nvidia to do it properly, but I will try it right now.

So far, no frame issues, butter smooth @60 FPS with hardly any drop at all.

@60fps, what resolution are you playing on?

knowyourstuff4234d ago

I know, talk about splitting hairs, with a 1% difference in screen tearing, and with just slightly better colours and textures on PS3, most people would be extremely hard pressed to determine any difference just looking at the two in person.

aquamala4234d ago

no surprise here. xbox360 and PS3 are about the same, both are equivalent to "medium" setting at 720p resolution on PC.

The Magic of 'Dishonored’s' Blink

It’s a shame, really, that so few games have “borrowed” Dishonored’s Blink – in the right hands, such a power could be game-changing.

It felt kinda cheap to me… both in terms as a tactic, and game design

Abnor_Mal450d ago (Edited 450d ago )

There was a small game called Aragami that “borrowed” the blink, that was a good game.

Unfortunately I heard the sequel wasn’t good so I stayed away from trying it out.

The sequel changed some of the mechanics from the first game but it was still a very polished and enjoyable experience. You should definitely give it a shot sometime. The game's currently on sale on Steam

Abnor_Mal449d ago

Okay thanks for the heads up, will look out for it being on sale one day.

I really did like the first and played it back to back as soon as I finished the first play through.
