Lady Evenstar Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Dishonored sounds like a great idea. But it's Bethesda, and Bethesda has published only crap outside of their franchises so far so.. we'll see. Except Zenimax bought Arkane, so like Id they're now family. Hard to say whether that will make a difference, but it could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Remember Zenimax/Beth is a privately held publisher, so they don't answer to share holders and quarterly pressure. They also publish Prey 2 which is shaping up to become pretty neat. 2012 is indeed one of the finest year for games. Rain makes everything better.

Syraxis Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Speaking of Bethesda I wonder what Tango Gameworks (Shinji Mikami's studio) is doing. Perhaps an open world zombie survival game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Playing Arx Fatalis and it's quite good. Just has literally the worst controls I've ever seen. You whining about DS3 on PC? Play this 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. Holy crap. Sold. Right now.

Sannom Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Not sure if serious. Same here. Although I still think that the 'Guide Dang It' thing with the human blood was unnecessary and unwelcomed. How the hell am I supposed I have to take it right now, Arkane? HOW AM I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Heh, not serious - it's not that bad, but certainly the controls & interface, combined, make for some borked functions. Clicking a stairs icon on the top right of the screen to go up a floor? Dialogue subtitles that scroll up into view depending on how long the line is, so that (a) half the time you wait 5 seconds to see the subtitles, and (b) you can't even skip until a certain point? Weird stuff. I have a high tolerance for usability issues, but I can see a lot of people just give up on it. I also have a lot of problem making the magic system recognise my rune tracings, but I'm assuming for now that it's me doing something stupid.

Hell Kitty Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'm assuming for now that it's me doing something stupid. Probably not. The magic system is a nice idea, but in reality it's kinda tedious. This Dishonored game sound like it could be right up my proverbial alley, though the image just make me think of HL2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entrerix Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 20? i guess that could work, she looks a little older to me, 23-25 I'd say. anyone who thinks she looks 15 obviously has not seen a 15 year old before.

GreasyDogMeat Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I do not understand all the praise heaped upon BioShock. Sure the themes of the game might have been a bit more 'mature' than your average shooter, but they were explored through fricken audio logs and actual friendly characters are only met once or twice. This BioShock, on the other hand, definitely has me more interested than the last two. It looks like it might have much more interesting mechanics and some actual interaction with friendly npc characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey. ... i wasn't talking about "jugs". look at her face, yeah its anime looking with big eyes etc, but it doesnt look like a 15 year old. there is a big difference between how a 15 year old girl looks and how a 23 year old girl looks.

Purkake Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Bioshock brought the FPS/RPG experience to the console mainstream(with some streamlining, but basically). I never liked it, because I bought into the hype back on the 2K boards in 2007... The art deco stuff is pretty awesome, though. I don't really think Infinite will be particularly different, but at least they rotated ALL the environment/ideology/period dials this time. Bioshock 2 was just a cheap cash-in.
