Dishonored: seven things Arkane cut to improve the game

OXM - I've argued in the past that learning about what developers cut from games can be as fascinating as what they leave in, showing how creative priorities have shifted in the course of the project. There are few better examples of this than Arkane and Bethesda's Dishonored, the most impressive new IP of recent years.

I would have loved to see the Asylum - everything else seemed to be a necessary cut.

dont forget they can still release the things they cut as dlc's

I would have liked to possess while standing still.

Arkane Co-Founder Says Dishonored and Prey Fans 'Will Be Happy' With His Next Game

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.

Marcus Fenix46d ago

Can’t wait to see what they’re working on

Relientk7746d ago

If it's something like Dishonored, then I am totally here for it.

TheNamelessOne45d ago

Let's hope. Their first game, Weird West, really wasn't my thing.

Miacosa45d ago

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.

Psychonaut8545d ago

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.

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_Mal583d ago (Edited 583d 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.

sairenfox2099582d ago

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_Mal582d 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.
