That's a weird way of spelling Syberia.

Laxman4985d ago

As awesome as the game was, its atmosphere and environments are limited in comparison to Bioshock.

Voxelman4985d ago

Metro 2033 is up there as well

NYC_Gamer4985d ago

i agree,it's a shame many folks over look that game.

MidnytRain4985d ago

I haven't played it, but I'm really looking forward to Metro: Last Light next year.

Hopefully the sequel brings it into the spotlight, althought I'm still not happy about the MP aspect. The first game was brilliant without it.

Clearly they never played STALKER

AntoineDcoolette4985d ago

I disliked Bioshock's atmosphere so I disagree.

BrightFalls764985d ago

It's an easy agree for myself in part because the art direction is brilliant and in part because my favorite time period for music, film and architecture is the 1930s/40s.

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

JEECE125d ago

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.

Relientk77125d ago

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

Ethereal125d ago

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 Fenix318d ago

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

Relientk77318d ago

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

TheNamelessOne318d ago

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

Miacosa318d 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.

Psychonaut85318d 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
