Support NeoGAF

[texhnolyze]

Neat.

Will buy if it supports 3rd person view.

 

[Ghazi]

I am SO fucking hyped for this.

 

[paragonpro]

Neat.

Will buy if it supports 3rd person view.

Thats not what dishonored is. Dishonored is a first person game. Thats like saying you wont buy an fps if it doesnt have third person.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

If they're releasing it in November they're presumably hoping to sell at least 5 million copies if not more.

10+ million is not an unusual target for a game in that month.

How much did the first sell?

I know it was a hit but those numbers are much higher than I'd assume this franchise would go for.

 

[Andodalf]

Bethesda keeping it on point with the short announce to release!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Bethesda keeping it on point with the short announce to release!

The game was announced last June and was supposed to be out this spring.

 

[DukeBobby]

I think I'll celebrate with some whiskey and cigars tonight.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Bethesda keeping it on point with the short announce to release!

A year and a half is short?

 

[Acquiescence]

The first was a solid 7/10 for me. Terrific stealth gameplay, underwhelming everything else. I'd like to see the sequel deliver a more interesting, less rote plot this time around, with some more varied environments to boot.

 

[Nirolak]

How much did the first sell?

I know it was a hit but those numbers are much higher than I'd assume this franchise would go for.

It did about 2.4 million on Steam: http://steamspy.com/app/205100

I'm not sure what it did at retail on console.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Lol how is Corvo cool? He's not even a character, he's a floating camera with arms.

uhh he has a... cool... mask I guess? that you never see

 

[ActWan]

Great! Really close.

 

[JaseC]

How much did the first sell?

I know it was a hit but those numbers are much higher than I'd assume this franchise would go for.

I don't think Bethesda has ever dolled out numbers, but launch window sales were "far exceeding expectations". SteamSpy has the PC version at ~2.65m (~2.4m ROW + ~260k RU -- they're separate apps and both versions are 100% Steamworks).

 

[Samimista]

Beautiful artwork of Emily. <3

I'll be buying this on Day One.

 

[Filthy Casual]

Really enjoyed the first one, intrigued to see some gameplay of this.

 

[Acquiescence]

Lol how is Corvo cool? He's not even a character, he's a floating camera with arms.

Exactly. It would be nice if, this time around, we played as something other than your stock, non-existent, silent protagonist.

 

[STILLethal]

Loved the 1st one, day 1 here

 

[disappeared]

Looking good. Hoping the amazing level/world design from the first game remains intact. Solved the first game with Blink only and zero kills.

 

[carlsojo]

DAY FUCKING ONE

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Exactly. It would be nice if, this time around, we played as something other than your stock, non-existent, silent protagonist.

Did you ever play the DLC? Duad is a much stronger character than Corvo, with a real personality. Harvey Smith said that was something that wanted to carry over into Dishonored 2, so I know for damn sure Emily will be a more fleshed out character. Corvo is gonna talk, too.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Day goddamn One.

Dishonored was my GOTY 2012

 

[Zaventem]

Holidays way to crowded.

 

[Incendiary]

So between CoD and Battlefield. why.

I have no interest in either of those, but I'm definitely picking this up. It's good counter programming for those that don't play those types of games.

 

[Alastor3]

Should I play the first game?

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Should I play the first game?

Yes.

 

[KooopaKid]

I knew it! Let's see how they improve over the first one. No load times please!

 

[jett]

So what's the deal with Prey 2? Is Arkane also making that or is it better to just forget about it?

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

"First person action game." No mention of open world, hallelujah. Very excited to see how this turns out. Had a great time with the first one.

They already said the mission structure will be similar to the first game. But yes, no open world is a big plus.

So between CoD and Battlefield. why.

It will get delayed, don't worry.

 

[Zaventem]

Also i hope they don't split up retailer exclusives like how disguising they did last time. Shit turned me off so much i waited until the GOTY to get everything. I understand retailer incentives but THIS was way to much.

[badcrumble]

I loved the warping mechanic from the first game but I hope this one sees a major expansion to its skill system similar to what Deus Ex: Mankind Divided seems to be getting. The basic gameplay loop was delightful but it got a little bit repetitive IMO.

 

[Confusion Illusion]

I enjoyed my time with Dishonored so I'm looking forward to this.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

It did about 2.4 million on Steam: http://steamspy.com/app/205100

I'm not sure what it did at retail on console.

Yeah, that's around what I'd expect, I guess.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

So what's the deal with Prey 2? Is Arkane also making that or is it better to just forget about it?

Arkane is made up of two studios. Dishonored 2 isn't their only project.

 

[Nestunt]

Can't wait

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Will get on PC if it doesn't have the fucking Bethesda launcher.

 

[Nirolak]

Yeah, that's around what I'd expect, I guess.

If it did the same between PS3 and 360, that'd put it at about 5 million. Maybe we'll get an update at some point during this game's marketing.

[demosthenes]

Intend to get this day 1,hope it lives up to the first.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

At least they won't pretend this is a stealth game this time, right?

 

[catapult37]

Happy Dishonored Tuesday!

 

[BlizzKrut]

Very excited for this one, for sure something to keep an eye on, and another game to be excited for E3

 

[wild wild rice]

At least they won't pretend this is a stealth game this time, right?

Well technically they call it a "first person action game," but what do you mean pretend? I remember being pretty stealthy in the first one.

 

[TheOctodad]

Lovely


Whatever happened to this guy? I miss his Badman parodies

He does a podcast and a lot of standup still. Have a mutual friend that works with him sometimes and got to meet him last year.

 

[MastaKilla]

Loved the first one! But here's my question: do I replay the first on PS3 or go ahead and buy the remaster on PS4? I think it's only 20 bucks.

[Strike]

I've been waiting for a better look at this one. Here's to hoping my target preorder still goes through.

 

[John Kowalski]

Uh... are they abandoning the whalepunk aesthetic?

The last thing i want in my Dishonored are renewable energies :/

 

[Akuun]

This year has too many good games. It's right when I'm at my busiest too.

I'm sitting here doing shit while I want to play XCOM 2, Dark Souls 3, and so on.

 

[-BLITZ-]

Whaaaaa...tt. Sam Rockwell in Dishonored ? Can't wait to hear is voice.

 

[Shredderi]

GI also listed the voicecast for the game:

So I guess they're gonna personalize Corvo more this time since they're giving him a voice actor.
