Bethesda Announces 'Dishonored'

Bethesda Announces 'Dishonored'

Featured on next month's Game Informer

Written by osubluejacket on 07 July 11 at 18:00

On behalf of Ohioans everywhere, let me say that many of us are still upset about LeBron James "taking his talents to South Beach" and "joining forces" with Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. This sports trend, however, is now being followed by many game developers who are stockpiling big talent to publish games. Today, Bethesda and Arkane Studios have joined that list by revealing Dishonored, a new, first-person action title.

The talent behind the game is what has many insiders intrigued, as the creative team includes Raphael Colantonio and Harvey Smith, two of the people behind Deus Ex, and Viktor Antonov the artist behind City 17 in Half-Life 2.

While details on this game are very sparse, the lads and lasses over at Game Informer have put Dishonored on the cover of their upcoming August issue and have had a chance to see the game in action.

GI's Adam Biessener raves about seeing the game in action:

Dishonored is the antithesis of a edge-of-your-seat roller-coaster ride. It's a game about assassination where you don't have to kill anyone. It's a game about infiltration where you can set up traps and slaughter the entire garrison of an aristocrat's mansion rather than sneak in. It's a game about brutal violence where you can slip in and out of a fortified barracks with nobody ever knowing you were there. It's a game about morality and player choice where the world you create is based on your actions, not navigating conversation trees.

Dishonored is a game we can't wait to tell you more about.

Dishonored is currently set for a 2012 release.

It's a game about morality and player choice where the world you create is based on your actions, not navigating conversation trees.If this is even half true, and implemented well, then this may be very good.

Having said that, I don't think there's ever been a well implemented morality system in a game, which genuinely affected anything other than the next minute of gameplay. So meh.

Based on that cover alone, I'm excited. The art direction looks awesome.

Mass Effect 3 promises I think over a dozen endings and several branches within the actual game based entirely on the morality choices in the all three games.

Fuck Cleveland. ;) I'm all for talent hoarding. It means better titles. So what if one company makes them all. It's called getting a good rep. I'll but Bethesda all day because I like the quality of their games.
Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?

And in ME1, there were 2 endings. Did each differ depending on what you did throughout the game? Nope! It was what you did right at the very end. Everything up to then was irrelevant. You could've been as good as anything, but evil at the end, or vice versa. And that's my point.

Sounds like this game has the potential to be pretty amazing! Love Bethesda and enjoy everything the article says the team has been involved in. Another $60 to prepare my wallet to spit out I guess smile
I aim to misbehave!

Also... Cleveland is inferior to Columbus in almost every way.

I'm a little shocked that people are saying it's a day one buy.

After Brink and Hunted, I need to see a review before I buy another game from Bethesda.

As usual, I'm hoping this game actually does what it says, unlike every other game that sounds epic and then sucks because they tried to take on too much.
It's not a Star Wars reference.

More so, I'd rather read more information on the game and see it in action though. Always welcome new IPs smile
