Dishonored The Game : Developer Discussion

[TheDurvaria]

I admire the work of Viktor Antonov who was also the art director of Half Life 2, RESPECT!

[Shovelhead193]

JESUS CHRIST, WHEN IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED?!?!

[DoctorR3D]

@Shovelhead193 I might be wrong, but I think it's being released december 31, 2012

[3044Producer]

I am STILL waiting to see gameplayyy

[kingbradley6000]

keep doing what u r doing arkane :) i love bioshock !

[kingbradley6000]

past,present,future,fantasy in 1 game O.O

[N17young]

this is my most anticipated game

[blankprobe]

these interviews with Arcane Studios are so inspiring. they must keep doing what THEY want to play, because they seem to have a great idea of what a game should be like. Dark Messiah action was PERFECT.

[sockschappercat]

Edinburgh is pronounced "Edin-borough", not "Edin-burg". Grr.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the game. I hope it keeps its steampunk elements.

[10samm10]

Arkane, gameplay footage, NOW!

[JPO567]

WHEN WILL WE SEE GAME PLAY?

[factorydownhill]

A Bethesda game where you start off in Jail...typical.

[PsycReaper]

@MAJORMODZoCOM fallout 4: Rise of the dark arts ... considering there will be magic in the game

[IvanGold78]

It's art style reminds me of Half-Life 2.

[babis8142]

I have respect for Arcane Studios.They made Dark Messiah one of my favorite games of all times. The combat system was brilliant!

[rangas05]

Please stop saying that it is based on different games already released. If you look into it more than just this video and screenshots, you will find that it has some fairly big steampunk inspirations and contains the basic class structures of Combat, Magic and Ranged. Sure you can spot Bioshock and Half-Life in it, but you have to remember that both of those games are brilliant, and future developers must take those into account. If you ignore the past, you will fail.

[angelpooz]

I look at this, and all I see is Half-life for some reason.

[DaftLinkI17]

BioShock + Assassin's Creed

[FourtySven]

looks like they are copying halflife

aliens and all in the city cmon

thats old who cares

make it more down to earth it will be more fun

more interactive gameplay with people and especially the environment

forget bots and aliens thats old boooring

[superemocookie1312]

@FourtySven the art director from half-life 2 helped with this

[rangas05]

@FourtySven Would you rather it similar to Deus Ex? Oh wait it is! Would you rather it be similar to CoD? Hell no! Most games nowadays take direct inspiration from a lot of different games. There is no such thing as an original idea today. Get over the fact that it is 'copying' Half-Life. FYI Viktor Antonov is actually the guy who made City 17.

[FourtySven]

@rangas05

Hey you know what

i own half life 2 and you know wat i most enjoyed was the rp games available

they got boring overtime

but if this new city 17 guy helps develop a new halflife without caling it half-life then it should be just as good if not better as long theres a mod base for the community.

Most games today fall short after a year of play

there needs to be more interactive gameplay

take gta for ex, after driving and shooting everthing theres nothing left todo

[Ethan07895]

HALF LIFE 3!?!?!?!?!?

[qwerkaz]

Watching this at 4059

[keko4321]

@ATTrimble

i said games PUBLISHED not developed

[keko4321]

guys careful before buy any game "published" by Bethesda .

Hunted: The Demon's Forge been published by Bethesda and the game buggy as hell , no fixes or patches been released .

no support for the game , lot of complains in the official forum , check out Hunted the demon's forge forum and see your self before investing your money in this game

[WizardofCake]

Good luck guys!

[yewu]

really looking forward to seeing more of this

[TheNexus3000]

Is that a tupé?

[TakashiMiike17]

This game sounds dope as hell. Very exciting hearing the developers talk about systemic environments. Games these days usually compromise their systems in favor of creating cinematic experiences. Look at the new Deus Ex - practically no dynamic systems in that game compared to the old ones.

[etherealrhythm]

Awesome video... it's gotten me very excited for the game now.

[dderkas]

"We don't want the game to be realistic, we want it all to be sci-fi..." "So the game is pretty realistic, we copied buildings..." Lolwut?

[iwebber88]

@dderkas I think he meant it in two different contexts lol... I think.

[riserryan]

Reminds me of the machines from the movie 9.

[Mrdirtysanchezstick]

I DONT GIVE A CRAP WHAT HAPPENS THEY JUST NEEDA MAKE THIS OR HALF-LIFE 3 ALREADY!!!! I DONT GIVE A CRAP WHO MADE IT I JUST WANT TO RELIVE MY "VAVLE DAYS" !!!!!

[marcusvnogueira]

@Mrdirtysanchezstick Learn to spell.

[Mrdirtysanchezstick]

@marcusvnogueira y shud eye? i dunt fawken care? eye rite purfectaly and mei gramar is feine tuu, soary ef yur expektaziuns uf mei wur fawls.....

[JZgames]

@Mrdirtysanchezstick this isnt valve lol

[Mrdirtysanchezstick]

@JZgames lol, i dont care i just want something to happen already. valve can't even count to 3 -.- i miss playing half-life , counter strike, and TF2 and all that shit lol

[Emo666Cali]

only thing is no open world it will be based on you do that then next scenario so you have to do it right the 1st time to get to part 2 then 3 ect ..

[blankprobe]

include the fatalities from dark messiah+ a dozen new ones! ':D

and all the sword types, plus logical scientific stats for durability sharpness and swiftness!

I luuuuve Dark Messiah melee fights gahahahaha xD

[bf9562m]

When does it come out!!!!!!!!!!!11

[TheMutantlizard]

i wanna see some gameplay

[Theremanppdas]

do you know this game is crossplayer?? and now its dishonored lol :DD

[Emo666Cali]

Im buying it big time love it !!very steampunk future

[ClankytheGorn]

LOL, before i knew that the guy who made half life design made this I saw the game cover and said "LOL, its like a copy of Half life 2!" which would be cool since there isn't an episode 3...

[m4dTUB3]

@valmanzar16 LOL

[Celidus]

Please tell me this isn't another FPS - this would make an amazing RPG or Adventure. Let's think our way through a game for a change - we just don't need another FPS.

[Coltaculuss]

@Celidus

It's a stealth game in first person.

[10samm10]

Can we please have more of the balls to the walls combat system of Dark Messiah?

[PsycReaper]

as long as I get good melee in this game as well as ranged weaponry

[Mikelauder2009]

Wonder if it's a free roamer

[xbox36o93]

when is this gonna be released

[Daskellhounds]

I'm seeing an almost steampunk setting, I am very exited for this game.

[michaeljohn89]

Nah didn't catch my interest looks lame and slow

[10lettername]

reminds me of bioshock+halflife+beyond good and evil+dark messiah

[DarkRocky]

What a fucking show-off Viktor Antonov is omfg! He boosts himself yet his ideas is not his own, it's taken from other games and mashed into this game I mean COME ON I hope Valve sue their asses I really do, he does'nt have a imagination of his own I have never seen a more pathetic human in my life (refering to the game developers) he really need to take his head out of the gutter and re-think this game!

[Roshan3L]

DARK MESSIAH 2 THANK YOU AGAIN :D

[buzzguy224]

We have a local video store that gets bethesda games almost immediatley after they come out. I rent then buy if I like. Gonna rent this.

[buzzguy224]

lol @ "based on some of the lovecraft books"

boss of storyline=cthulu?

[valmanzar16]

I like this guy, i like the way he thinks. "look at other things for inspiration"...

you should be talking notes Cod art directors.

[MinotorBoss]

@Dovahkiin93 Well im sure this game would benefit from the creation engine, lol definitely, but like I said, its produced by Bethesda, im pretty sure its the engine is from Arkane or whatever theyre called

[MinotorBoss]

It sounds cool, ive been waiting for a solid Industrial, steam-punk era game but every time a company tries it, they think its okay to toss in things like magic and stuff. Gadgets are cool, the style, the setting makes for an almost Sherlock Holmes set-up, but theyre afraid the game would be too limited without magic. I think featuring magic in this game is like eating taffy with mustard. Pretty much Bioshock Infinite.

[MinotorBoss]

@Dovahkiin93 Its Produced by Bethesda

[Yalashaska]

Where's ma' honor?

[SwingDancer61]

I like the look of the game. Need to hear more about it, to decide if it's worth a rental or buy.

[awllop2]

@Dovahkiin93 They're not unfortunately but that'd be awesome!

[Nulz0r]

Bethesda Softworks.. The BEST!! looks awsome.. but first i need the Skyrim!

[Akuma2unlimited]

Ok I made up my mind I'm going to get Tomb Raider and skyrim this year, next year dishonered.

[sweetchinmusichbk]

Hopefully this game will be what fable 3 was hyped up to be like

[saymana11]

Am I the only one who WOULD DIE to see this game in movement and action?

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

WOOooOoOo :o) i excpect great things!!!!!!!! TES + HL = WIN

[TheViceIT]

He talks about not being cliche, but isn't the whole "oppressed society" thing a little dated?

[0RobinHood1]

@TheViceIT you are living in one

[africandude1]

@TheSUBGAMER that's because you're playing for hours, you only need to be playing a couple of hours at a time.

[TheSUBGAMER]

Dear developers do you know that you are making a game?Stop with the fucking gray,blurry dark maps and retarded visual effects like headbob and other screen shakes

yes this looks cool if you take a screen shoot and frame it and look at it,but when you play the game with this kind of visual it sucks

and all games now make shit like this,if not then they make a game with colors that blind you

make a fucking realistic looking game where the sky is blue,grass is green and blood is red

[KUNGLO]

@TheSUBGAMER Errr how many games have you made ? Making a game is like painting a picture or making a movie. Not all pictures/painting/movies are realistic. it depends on the mode your trying to create or the story your trying to tell. So its down to theme of the game/movie/picture that the creator(s) are trying to make and the story that they are trying to tell ....its called artistic style. Not everything is realistic that's why most of us play games because its not like real life !!! Geez.

[TheSUBGAMER]

@KUNGLO Kid that is all cool,but the problem is that they go overboard with visual effects

game does not=movie,picture,music video

you play it for hours,

with bloom,blur,constant screen shakes,dark maps,high contrast it causes too much eye strain

so people get headache,red eyes,etc.

[BillyTheMilkMan]

@KUNGLO Ye, just look at how many people like minecraft.

[awllop2]

@TheSUBGAMER "where the sky is blue,grass is green and blood is red"

This game has all these things lol.

If you don't like the art style, then watch another video and move on. Don't come back and try to bring people down.

[TheSUBGAMER]

@awllop2 lolu really are retarded

peace

[awllop2]

@TheSUBGAMER I would suggest you wait until the game is released, and actually play the fucking thing before making blind judgments about it. At least wait until reviews are out. At that point, whatever conclusion you draw is your own opinion and you are entitled to it. But instantly dismissing it at this point in time reeks of arrogance and naivety.

[TheSUBGAMER]

@awllop2 chill fag

peace

[awllop2]

@TheSUBGAMER Now you're on the defensive, but I can't blame you. You took a childish approach to this and I took a level headed one. Take this time now to slowly remove my shoe from your ass-crack.

[xT3RPSx]

@awllop2 Haha, my god sir you're an expert.

[Robomonkey101]

@awllop2 lol

[SloeElvis]

@awllop2 You actually need to talk back to a retard like that? And ask him to admit he's wrong?

Don't be like that, bro. You're just slowly dragging yourself to his underwordly level. He barely understood your last comment.

[RAJTeunis]

@TheSUBGAMER lol GTFO!

[Coldcman]

@TheSUBGAMER Now there is someone who actually never liftet his ass of World of Warcraft, hasn't ever played System Shock, STALKER or Half-Life, and eventually never thought of the meaning of the word "art." There indeed is beauty in pure detailism. But there is also another kind of beauty in impressionism, abstraction and all others. It is the same with music and literature - The fact you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. You just like something else. So keep it - and keep your mouth shut.

[TheSUBGAMER]

@Coldcman chill fag

[pabsensi]

Anyone thinks Valve might press charges?

[TheAgentAssassin]

@pabsensi the guy talking created city 17 in Half Life 2

[10lettername]

@TheAgentAssassin

sounds like he really only has once concept he's good at.

[dvem4e]

@TheAgentAssassin true, actually he is Bulgarian and city 17 is kined of a copy(much darker and broken) of Sofia Drujba !

[Littlemeister]

@TheAgentAssassin I saw it right away... And not going down the road of halflife style 2 style... why not, its one of the best game ever! And still no fps game have copyed of what made halflife 2 such a good game... Sometimes I wish they would copy (and improve of course) a little more ;)... sometimes...

[Danyel992]

@pabsensi This game is being made by a group of creators that did HL2, Deus ex and Arx Fatalis. Amazing combo right there :)

[ABL36]

@pabsensi he was a designer in half life 2 dude..

[pabsensi]

@ABL36 seriously, are you retarded or something? Don't take it seriously, but you must have seen the thousands of replies that I was given before you wrote the comment.

[ABL36]

@pabsensi NoI I already knew. I've been following up gaming for a long time because I want to develope games as well.. Plus is it not obvious by the designs?

[Ph0be]

@ABL36 Actually you are fucking retarded, all you did was read the top comment and then pretend you knew he designed Half-life 2

[Spitfire0818]

@pabsensi HAHAHAHA!

[ImNotJoshPotter]

@pabsensi do your research



[pabsensi]

@ImNotJoshPotter go. fuck. yourself.

[Mrdirtysanchezstick]

@pabsensi nah they're to lazy to do that either =P XD

[snowdjagha]

2:10 "where to fock you"

[grandmasterhack]

2:36 wouldnt the "like your reading a book" hint to the linearity of the story. not that i have a problem with linear good stories. just as a gamer and aspiring game designer, i'm just wondering how this would be handled.

[syntallas]

I hate to say this but i would need to have this game have a semi infamous assassins creed style of getting around. Cause when i think around i really thing scaling buildings and such.

[AjarJunkman]

i might get this game JUST becuase i like the design.

[Atrahasis7]

EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW AT 6:40. Thief and system shock... rip looking glass

[VGAnxiety]

6:26 EA reference

[velisaar]

hl2 beta

[MrPollyphonic]

half life 2 influence :)

[TyphorT38]

inspiration from lovecraft!? it's a pre-order!

[blankprobe]

03:44 - Haha, YES! Victor Antonov´s signature allright. Behold the combine panzer truck! :')

Coming to think of it, he actually resembles Mr. Freeman a bit. Omg omg omg! After the DMoMM combat system and the talk about integrating a non-lethal level crossing in this amasing world of Dishonored, I can barely wait to try it out! xD

[darthvatrayen]

WHY YOU NO GIVE TRAILER?!

[baron8107]

I hope this has at least some gunplay.

[rustydagger456]

I am so very excited about this game. I hope it ends up as amazing as it sounds

[vashlashwagon]

WHY NO TRAILER!?!?!?!?!?

[plukoman64]

This game looks really cool. Dishonored, you've just gone to the top of my must-buy list.

[Monsterdrow]

It's like Half-Life+Fable :D

[DonaldMurf]

I loved thief deadly shadows so much. Games that push AI to be more realistic are so bad ass

[BlestTheJediThug]

dudes!!! im getting oblivion 4, fallout 3 and new vegas, rage, skyrim, and THIS. oh fuck yes THIS!

[beanzieb0y23]

@BlestTheJediThug What the hell is Oblivion 4?

[endlessillusion34]

why does this have to take sooooo freakin longgg to come out :'(

[xcgillx2]

looks good it seems like a half life but back in history

[Bluesage2009]

VERY IMPRESSED!...... FINALLY, someone who knows what they are doing!

Bring on the new era of PC gaming!

[atokombeled]

Mr. Antonov for pres!

People like him move the gaming scene forward.

Thinking, creating, doing a responsible job with attention to detail,

instead of doing a slave job by making a half-baked makeshift sequel to Honor of Battlefield 7.

[Vagitables]

Bioshock Infinite & Dishonored Im really looking forward to

[99dragonborn99]

STEAM PUNK!! YAY!!

[whatsupninjabread]

According to game informer its coming out this spring!

[TheSmokedon]

awesome game made by an boring person

[cjs0071]

About time!

A real PC game!

[bigj651]

VIKTOR ANTONOV! <3

[hai31]

Duh, it's Bethesda. Of course it'd be AWESOME

[asendimchev1996]

Bulgaria FTW !

[HowItsEvenPossible]

Viktor Antonov = cool art direction

[MrDeejayjfx]

Looks interesting!!!

[SuperEngage1]

This game will be phenomenal.

[Fabregasgunner4]

Sounds fantastic- one to look out for

[Flawless9183]

@EnderGraff1 Yea, I got the Dishonerd GI, it it does "sound" amaizing

[joeyjav]

I like the two Nerds trying to look like bikers.

[EnderGraff1]

The latest edition of gaminformer had an exclusive coverage feature on this. They said it would be out Spring of 2012 :)

[xalener]

Everything about this game sets it up to be incredible.

[MrNebulos]

@xalener You're right, just read an article on it...really cannot wait for more on this. Hope it's not a late 2012 release.

[xalener]

@MrNebulos

I kinda do. I think a concept this ambitious needs the most time it can get. Plus what I've seen of the graphics could use some SERIOUS refinement. I love the style, but the execution is pretty lacking. That's all I will let myself comment on, as everything but the game's graphics are on point from what we've been hearing.

[MrNebulos]

@xalener Don't forget it's still in development, it's not even in alpha yet. Graphics is one of the very last things that will be polished up on.

[xalener]

@MrNebulos

Nah, I'd say the graphics are the FIRST thing that gets done. I mean sure there's block tests of the maps, but they only stay that way so long. You need characters and an environment set up before you can build a game into them.

[MrNebulos]

@xalener No they aren't, that's why they have pre alpha and alpha stages of development. Yeah the certain vital areas in the world are built early on, so that the development team can build the levels, sort out gameplay, story, game mechanics and shit. But then everything is fine tuned at alpha stage. That's why a lot of early trailers for games have "pre alpha code" on the screen. So yeah, graphics are one of the last things to be fine tuned.

[kilsya1]

@xalener  The first time I read about it I proceded to starngle my cat yelling "Y U KNOW RELEASE IN 2011!"

[gregearley011]

or 2011

[Solarpoweredspaz]

@1:11

"Right now there are so many sequels and sequels and sequels in the video game industry."

Too true. :/

[Rueyful]

@Solarpoweredspaz sequel ?

[sandmand101]

I love the car at 3:45

[Zenzer04]

good job man thisis the first actual officiial dishonored video i have seen. im really excited for this game i hope it comes out this year

[TheAgentAssassin]

@Zenzer04 me to this game sounds epic, they said 2012 though for the release date

[GejmFrik23]

@TheAgentAssassin i sure hope so

[TheRindill]

@Zenzer04 2012. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was late 2012 either.
