Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah were awesome games. Would rather want Arx Fatalis 2, but whatever.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

A sci-fi first person shooter. FUCK YEAH

See, if people actually bought games that offered something different...then maybe we'd be given a lot less first person shooters.

 

[Interfectum]

Wow fuck some of you people. Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah were awesome games.

Nailed it. Bookmarking this thread.

You gotta lower expectations for people's developer familiarity/PC background knowledge. It makes threads like these more tolerable.

 

[StunandStab]

This interests me enough for it to go on my radar, and I usually hate first person games.

 

[badcrumble]

Between this, Prey 2, and Deus Ex: HR, I'm glad to see cyberpunk making its way back into gaming.

"Too many FPS" is a fuckin myth.

 

[Orayn]

Sounds very Deus Ex-y. Color me interested!

 

[Fredescu]

So I guess they should buy this game, being that it isn't a first person shooter.

 

[Seda]

Sounds interesting.

 

[Madrical]

I'm excited just because it's a new IP.

Pretty much. Keeping my eye on this, looking forward to some screenshots that will come with the article. I'm not going to argue with another FPS if it has some of the creative minds behind Deus Ex and Half-Life 2.

Yes! I uploaded my first gaming videos to youtube thanks to Dark Messiah!

NEVER ENOUGH

 

[MirageDwarf]

Sounds cool.

Bethesda Softworks believes in their vision and is giving them all the time, money, and development help (regular meetings with guys like The Elder Scrolls' Todd Howard don't make your game worse) they need.

But it may push you to target for least powerful platform as lead and gimp it for others in the process. Doesn't Zenimax own Arkane now? Wording makes it sound like Bethesda is helping as outsiders.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I was wondering what Harvey Smith was up to. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

 

[pieatorium]

Looks like Half-life 2's City 17.

Well then!

Damn you stole my post

 

[Neuromancer]

Sounds very Thief-y. Consider me interested!

 

[Herla]

There's also EYE, if it'll ever come out...

 

[subversus]

I'm also excited because Antonov's works seems to stand the test of time. That's why you don't need any visual mods for Half-Life 2.

 

[ULTROS!]

I though it was Portal at first glance.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

sounds awesome, can't wait to see it.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

Playing through Thief II at the moment and I'm definitely of the opinion that we need more first-person multiple-approach stealth-em-ups. This sounds very intriguing.

 

[LiK]

I am not excited for First Person Stealth.

 

[Krev]

See, if people actually bought games that offered something different...then maybe we'd be given a lot less first person shooters.

At least this sounds like a very interesting FPS.

 

[KorrZ]

Wow, sounds like Hitman/Deus Ex meets Half-Life. Definitely hyped, hope this comes out next year.

 

[Struct09]

Sounds great, happy to hear it's a new IP

 

[mandiller]

"Watch out! STRIDER!!"

 

[Totobeni]

Since Arkane Studios is owned by Zenimax, I hope it uses id Tech 5 ( and run at 60fps).

 

[Mrbob]

Dark Messiah is awesome, can't wait. Also this doesn't sound like a first person shooter at all from the description. The view is in first person. I guess Mirrors Edge is a first person shooter too then. Or Thief.

 

[daffy]

that ain't Rune Factory 4.

A Hitman game set in Half Life 2 universe.

 

[Drakken]

Great team of people working on it, and it sounds a lot like Deus Ex. Interest piqued.

 

[Neuromancer]

If this game is really anything like Half Life 2, count me out.

 

[Madrical]

Since Arkane Studios is owned by Zenimax, I hope it uses id Tech 5 ( and run at 60fps).

Yum.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

"Harvey Smith, one of the main minds behind the first two Deus Ex games and a legendary veteran of game development, shares the vision and is on board as Dishonored's co-creative director along with Colantonio. Viktor Antonov designed Half-Life 2's iconic City 17 and is lending his talents to Dishonored's world. "

Excite.

 

[mysticwhip]

How would third person automatically make the concept more interesting? Aside from allowing you to cheat at stealth and gripe about the character running animations.

I just prefer tp alot more than fp for adventure games.

 

[imoTEP12]

This sounds really cool to me, hopefully we get a short clip of it to watch in the near future

 

[Deadbeat]

The last game Harvey Smith worked on was Blacksite: Area 51. I am now worried.

 

[tim.mbp]

It's a game about assassination where you don't have to kill anyone.

I hope this is true. I like playing in a non-lethal manner where applicable.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I love all of the people bitching about it being first person, as if the perspective alone makes it "dudebro" or some such.

Jesus, guys, it's a new IP and it's stealth action game that sounds like it has a lot of choice. The position of the camera doesn't make the game.

 

[Dipswitch]

Sounds interesting...oh wait, Harvey Smith is involved??

I formally retract my enthusiasm.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Sounds like Deus Ex in City 17.

How come anything sound any better ?

CoD = First Person = Dudebrah = Teh Shitz0rz
Ergo, Dishonored = First Person = CoD = Dudebrah = Teh Shitz0rz
Internet logic at its finest.

 

[BigKaboom2]

This sounds like my dream game. In fact any game where I don't have to slaughter everyone is welcome.

 

[Muzzy]

It's a game about morality and player choice where the world you create is based on your actions, not navigating conversation trees.

Ha, take that Bioware.

Seriously, it does sound interesting and I'm happy to see more immersive/solo FPS games rather than more COD clones.

 

[Host Samurai]

Another FPS? This generation is really starting to annoy me.

 

[Jarmel]

Look at all dem shades of grey

Just what we've all been waiting for all these years, a plethora of grey.

Really getting sick of stupid posts like this.

Anyway I need some gameplay footage first before jumping on any train.

The worst part is that both games Arkane is known for are in first person. Why would anyone expect it to be something else?

Hype level maximum on this game; regardless of sales numbers this will have excellent gameplay and that's the only thing that matters.

Grey's still better than brown + bloom

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

STRIIIIIIDER!

 

[Majanew]

lol, that's it? I'm not going to buy that game just because GI hyped it like they had something worthy to reveal. lol, blame GI, Bethesda.
