Dishonored Developer Diary: End Game

Dishonored Developer Diary: End Game

A look back on the game's development

Written by Lexual on 19 September 12 at 15:00

One of the most interesting new IPs of the current generation, Dishonored, is nearing release and we’ve seen the game take shape since it was announced back in July of last year. In the latest developer diary for Dishonored, the team at Arkane Studios reflect on the development process of taking the game from its early conceptual stage to a fully fleshed out world ready to be explored through the eyes of supernatural assassin, Corvo.



Dishonored is due to be released on October 9th in North America and throughout Europe on October 12th.

I can't wait to play this. I was so stoked when I thought it was gonna be like a hack n slash RPG but was kinda disappointed when I found out it was stealth, however the gameplay footage I have watching for this just looks amazing that it's got me back to being excited about it, dying to play around with that Blink ability

Random Gamer said:Can't wait for this! / Day 1 Purchse. / Looks good.Interested to see what role the loot you steal has in the game. Presumably there will be some form of fence/shop to offload it at and buy upgrades or new equipment .

Hoping the powers can be put on hot keys (the d-pad for example). Using that power wheel will be cumbersome in mid fight as it looks like it doesn't pause the action.

Hoping there are more powers that they haven't showcased because if not the options for combining them will be limited and then being able to replay the game using a varied skillset will be less apparent (I'm thinking like Bioshock here. My second playthrough I used all new combinations and it felt very different).

I'm getting the game but I have my concerns. It will be good but how good it will be remains to be seen.
Put it on vibrate.

I really, really hope this doesn't lean towards then side of Rogue Warrior, or Brink. We all know Bethesda either hits the mark amazingly, or missing horribly.
