Support NeoGAF

[dragonelite]

ooh shit just bought Dark messiah with steam sales and the hour i played it i enjoyed the fps combat stuff. Should give it more time but yeah just started learning C++ which i find way more interesting .

Keep this game on my radar.

 

[ultron87]

I don't really see how we've seen enough from this game to be either hyped or pessimistic about it.

All we have is a magazine cover and a glowing write up that was written entirely with the purpose of making you buy the magazine.

 

[Salih]

very intrigued actually. could be big.

They should have shown that game at E3.

 

[Chinner]

Seems to be a lot of talent behind this, something to keep your eye on me thinks.

 

[truly101]

So sad to see ignorant posts like this that look at the perspective and immediately dismiss it.

Look, you have stupid kids out there that will insist Deus Ex and Metroid Prime are first person shooters, well because its in first person and there are guns.

Also getting really sick of the term "dudebro" and would like to see it on the list of NeoGAF banned memes. Its to the point where I see someone use that term as valid criticism that I just assume that person is a fucking idiot. They probably are.

 

[The Technomancer]

City 17 is the new WWII?

 

[Herla]

Skyrim announced -> OMG OMG this game will be awesome OMG game of the forever
New game by the makers of Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah announced -> meh another fps

I hate this world

 

[ced]

I wonder if this will be on ID Tech engine, they are both owned by Zenimax now.

Yep, it's one of those words where are people are just throwing around without even knowing what the fuck it means any more.

Anyway good for Bethesda for trying to help sci-fi developers. I heartily approve of that.

 

[derFeef]

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.

Yeah, taht's it. And honestly it is more exciting then a lot of other reveals. Is it because people do not know what to expect from it? I am confused about the reactions but also glad that we are not stuck in this 2-year-sequel cycle for once.

And I am sorry, but making a buying descicions already that is based on artwork and first batch of infos is just silly.

 

[Sloane]

Harvey Smith? Sweet. Hadn't thought I'd be interested in this announcement.

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.

Satire, right?

 

[Majanew]

Harvey Smith? Sweet. Hadn't thought I'd be interested in this announcement.


Satire, right?

lol, pretty much. Though I am a tad bummed because I was hoping for another game, but I'm interested to get the GI issue to read about the game. Hopefully, there's some screens. I love screens.

 

[TheOddOne]

Zenimax sure does love its FPS's. Still not complaining though, their stuff looks awesome.

GameInformer hype fails again. Wake [me] up when someone announces a new IP that isn't a FPS.

 

[MMaRsu]

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

Wrong.

This seems great, Dark Messiah was awesome!!

Can I wake you up? It's not an FPS.

 

[Interfectum]

*looks at BF3 avatar*

 

[mr. puppy]

did they show the space marine main character yet

 

[GraveRobberX]

Dark Messiah Might and Magic.

I'm in fucking tears over here from the zaniness, fucking lol'ing hard

Oh god the music accompanied with the hahaha......slip n' slide

I choked on my own spit @ the finale @ the bridge, Good Lord, god bless that gamer

Did you read past the first sentence?

 

[truly101]

Some here know I'm PC gaming stupid and I won't even pretend to be otherwise. So in regards to Dark Messiah, I'm assuming its the PC game that was well received because the 360 Dark Messiah is considered to be pretty bad. Are they even the same game or is it a really shoddy port?

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

Satire, right?

lol, pretty much.

Nice save ¬_¬

 

[Kinyou]

oh snap! Looks like we'll get "the crossing" after all!

btw. for everyone who doesn't know what "the crossing" is:

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

I got burned hard by bethesdas last new ip FPS, I won't let that happen again with this game. I'll keep an eye on this one however, the player choice and world sound great. First person perspective is disappointing though.

 

[Derrick01]

huuuuurrrrrrrrr duuuuuurrrrrr another fps.

This thread shows an extreme lack of respect for the talent behind this, and a lack of respect for the concept. Of course we have no idea how it'll turn out but it sounds amazing and we need more deus ex/hitman type games.

This is definitely a pleasant surprise.

The console version of Dark Messiah is a baaaad port. If I recall correctly you can't even customize your character...

 

[Calavera520]

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

I formally retract my enthusiasm.

What is up with this thread? Why all the hate for good concepts and designers who've had a good pedigree in the past. Have I missed something here? Smith was connected to DX:IW, and Area 51 which weren't the greatest, but he also worked on System Shock and Deus Ex so I don't see were all this negativity comes from.

This game sounds great conceptually. I am excited to read more to get a sense of the game mechanics.

 

[jiggles]

Those are some large stilts.

I've never seen stilts so large.

Largest stilts ever?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

GameInformer hype fails again. Wake [me] up when someone announces a new IP that isn't a FPS.

I'll ask this again - why does the position of the camera alone make the game not worth playing?

 

[Sloane]

What is up with this thread? Why all the hate for good concepts and designers who've had a good pedigree in the past. Have I missed something here?

Seriously, it's almost like people don't want new IPs. Oh, wait...

 

[daffy]

Speaking of great covers, have you all seen the EGM cover with Bioshock Infinite. Wowza.

 

[Terak]

I'm so hyped! Love Arkane, really talented guys. Dark Messiah was awesome. Can't wait...

 

[Majanew]

Nice save ¬_¬

Well, I figured the would help if some didn't pick up on it. I wouldn't write a game off based on hype or no hype.

 

[Calavera520]

Speaking of great covers, have you all seen the EGM cover with Bioshock Infinite. Wowza.

Hmm, somehow with even just this peek I'm more interested in Dishonored than I will ever be in Bioshock Infinite. Maybe I'm alone in this but I didn't care for BioShock. I wanted an actual successor to System Shock 1,2 not the pop-philosophy amusement park ride that Levine and crew delivered.

"You can open tears and press B to bring in Ammo, X to bring in cover, Y to bring in a turret!"

-___-

 

[subversus]

Most people here didn't play System Shock and Deus Ex + they don't know Arkane, they don't know Antonov, they're are clueless and there's nothing wrong about that.

Wait till gameplay hits.

 

[GJS]

STRIIIIIIDER!

I know people are saying strider due to the legs but it doesn't really look like a strider. It's a guy/cyborg/whatever on robotic stilts.

 

[Dipswitch]

Smith was connected to DX:IW, and Area 51 which weren't the greatest, but he also worked on System Shock and Deus Ex so I don't see were all this negativity comes from.

Ummmm, because he's a hack? Smith worked on Deus Ex and System Shock with Warren Spector and the folks from Looking Glass who deserve the lions share of the credit. So arguably he got a good name in the industry by riding their coat tails, even if this wasn't his intention.

He's then put in charge of Deus Ex 2 and produces one of the most maligned sequels to a beloved series in years. A product so disappointing that he even rags on it (I'll give him props for admitting he fucked up).

Afterwards, he goes on to work on Area 51, which was not only a bad game, but featured ham fisted political commentary that pleased no one. And then he whined that "No one got it". Which wasn't the case at all - everyone got it Harvey, they just thought it sucked.

So yeah, putting Harvey's name on the box isn't likely going to be a strong selling point these days.

 

[Sloane]

Most people here didn't play System Shock and Deus Ex + they don't know Arkane, they don't know Antonov, they're are clueless and there's nothing wrong about that.

Deus Ex was 2,50$ or whatever on Steam just a few days ago and every PC / laptop / netbook can run it, so I'd like to disagree with you on that, good Sir!

I wanted an actual successor to System Shock 1,2 not the pop-philosophy amusement park ride that Levine and crew delivered.

Same here -- but I guess that's a topic for a different thread.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Nice save ¬_¬

Yeah. Junior definately did a 180.

Anyway, I'm interested in the stealth/assassination aspects. Hopefully there are some truly innovating mechanics.

 

[Kinyou]

I know people are saying strider due to the legs but it doesn't really look like a strider. It's a guy/cyborg/whatever on robotic stilts.

Well the design is done by the same guy who did Half life 2 so some similarities aren't unlikely.

 

[notworksafe]

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic was awesome so I'm onboard the hype train. The stealth stuff makes it sound sorta Thief-y too.

 

[Technosteve]

They had me hyped at The Crossing, i will measure out my hype until i see game-play. I'm just happy Arkane is still alive.

 

[GJS]

Well the design is done by the same guy who did Half life 2 so some similarities aren't unlikely.

Antonov didn't design the Strider though.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

FPS - Meh.

New IP - YES!

 

[bengraven]

I'm in.

You don't mention Bethesda, Deus Ex, and City 17 and not get me interested.

 

[Majanew]

Yeah. Junior definately did a 180.

Geez, bright crowd. And there definitely isn't an 'A' in definitely.

 

[aeolist]

I was always disappointed that The Crossing never made it

Good to see Arkane's got some backing that's letting them continue with high-concept stuff, I know they can make something awesome

 

[Timber]

stealth action/adventure could mean a number of things and the mag's hype-fueled description leaves room for many questions

but

if you're gonna come in here with a fps? meh! routine then you are a Stupid Man

 

[Nirolak]

Title on the back of the magazine ?



Also, odds of this Arkane game releasing on HD consoles ?

It's an Unreal Engine 3 game, so astronomically high.

 

[cuyahoga]

Now this is a legitimate surprise and a good one at that.

Spoiler

Finally, an actual sequel to Deus Ex.

Every video game future vision must feature robots on spindly legs. It's mandatory.
