Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
I do wonder if Emily/Corvo will have any interaction, and/or if either/both are voiced this time around.

I can't imagine they wouldn't pass up the chance to get Chloe Grace Moretz to voice her again.

Yup. That was pretty much the entire reason I watched the conference.
Worth it. Can't wait!

I can see the bad ending where
Emily becomes a tyrant and rules through fear be the canon one. Maybe the usurper had enough of her tyranny and took matters to his own hand.

I would have preferred to see some gameplay but I already know I'm going to enjoy it. Very happy to have this announced,

There was some graffiti in the background about royalty killer or some such.
Dunno.
OP missin biggest news
2nd playable character is fucking Emily Kaldwin
Shockingly she's actually the main marketing character to boot.

God, dual protagonists?
I'd be down with just playing Emily. But Emily and Corvo? FUCK YEA!

That was such an amazing trailer. Loved everything about it. So well crafted. Just great.
That is honestly what surprised me the most. In a good way, obviously.

There were actually three endings, most people don't know about the third. The first she's a good ruler, the middle is the one everybody knows as the "bad" ending, and the last she dies. It's likely either the good or middle ending can be taken as canon.

It's not shocking if you think about it. They already know that people who will play as Corvo (myself) will get the game and play as him. They now need to advertise the shit out of Emily so those who want a female protagonist know she's a playable character.
But you can bet they'll have Corvo on the back of the box and emphasize "play as Corvo or Emily" somewhere

Old man Corvo and young blood Emily? Interesting indeed!

Day one!
Eagerly awaiting this and the DE.
Eagerly awaiting this and the DE.
It's more that historically most developers with chooseable protagonists lead with the male one and if someone is on the box, put them there.
It's very rare to see the reverse.

I know about the three endings. What I was referring to was the middle one, which is Bad imo lol. If I was referring to Emily's death ending, I would've said "Very Bad" or "Worst" 
Also, how doe we know that it's Spring 2016? I didn't hear that I think.

Didn't they say the throne had been usurped by an otherworldy outsider or something?

Can't. Fucking. Wait!!!
I hope they show some gameplay demos throughout E3.

That's what the YT description says. But yeah the official twitter account only says "next year", so I imagine we won't actually get it that early.

It wasn't, op got this confused with Doom

It's not a daily/flash deal yet, it will probably get cheaper in the coming days. You might also want to consider the Goty edition, DLC seems to be mostly good.

I'm really impressed and pleased that Arkane Studios has pushed the boat out a bit with their art style and environments. The first Dishonored is quite a dark game most of the time, a lot of night time and rain but here we see day light and a more tropical setting. It just goes to show that their visual look is great enough to extend into another kind of location.
OP is quoting the official trailer description on youtube, problem is that it's likely they got that messed up with Doom 4.
No release date was given at the conference, they won't release this and Doom at the same time. I think this will be released at the end of 2016.

I mean the key situation I saw it in was Mass Effect, where broshep was in the cover from the beginning. An open world first person action game can probably do fine in advertising with a female lead even if they have a male one. But I guess it all depends on test groups? I don't know
I mean to be fair putting a darth vader looking motherfucker will likely get you to sell copies.

Even if that's a CG trailer, I'm pretty stoked about there being a Dishonored 2 and that Emily is a playable character in it. It would be awesome if you could import your saves from the first game and that would alter the second in some way. I always loved talking to Emily at the inn and seeing how my playthrough affected her drawings and what she would say. She was a frightening little monster in high chaos runs.

Man I love the art style of this series. And this evolution is even more gorgeous. Almost stop motion-esque. Pretty stoked for this.

So is there gonna be two seperate story modes or interchangable characters in a single story?
