Dishonored appears to have had phrases like “potential Game of the Year” and “Once in a generation” levelled at it consistently over the past few months. Does Arkane’s stealth action title deserve such praise? Of has the hype machine been in full swing? Dishonored places you in the shoes of Corvo. The once revered protector to the Empress who now must fight to clear his name of her assassination. After a daring prison escape Corvo finds himself located in Dunwall, a grubby looking port city. There he joins with the growing Loyalists resistance against the newly appointed ruler. A ruler who just happens to have been the instigator of the Empresses murder. Corvo is out for revenge and redemption.
Half-Life 2 art director and Dishonored designer Viktor Antonov has died aged just 52.
One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.
Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor
Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.
And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.
So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3
WolfEye Studios president and co-founder of Arkane Studios Raphaël Colantonio has said Dishonored and Prey fans “will be happy” with his new studio's next game.
Ouch, already placing a sales cap on this is potentially bad as these games never seem to sell all too well. Hopefully the budget is in check so no one gets laid off after launch.
Fuck yeah. Even if it’s just a spiritual successor I want more titles like Dishonored in terms of art style, design and gameplay
"As a developer - and as a player - it's always sad and it always sucks to see studios close and devs lose their jobs. I really hope all those people land on their feet, because I know our indusutry is better with them in it," Patel tells the outlet. "As for me and how I look at things, I guess first and foremost: I don't believe in living in fear," the Avowed director.
Then gets shut down the next day. They should know better than to talk crazy like that.
Really want to pick this up... should i be worried about it being glitchy? Since it seems almost everything that has Bethesdas name on it turns out super glitchy on the PS3. Anyone? Thanks in advance :)
Hey guys - game runs fine on all platforms :) PC looks the best as you'd expect but the game is Unreal 3 based so you know what to expect.
Had zero problems with the title during my review - so don't worry and just enjoy :D
