News that Arkane studios-developed, Bethesda-Published Neo-Victorian, first-person, mystical, Stealth and a whole lot of other adjectives action game Dishonoured would come in at about 12 hours – for those who like to rush through things – has been met with mixed reaction.
Half-Life 2 art director and Dishonored designer Viktor Antonov has died aged just 52.
One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.
Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor
Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.
And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.
So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3
WolfEye Studios president and co-founder of Arkane Studios Raphaël Colantonio has said Dishonored and Prey fans “will be happy” with his new studio's next game.
Ouch, already placing a sales cap on this is potentially bad as these games never seem to sell all too well. Hopefully the budget is in check so no one gets laid off after launch.
Fuck yeah. Even if it’s just a spiritual successor I want more titles like Dishonored in terms of art style, design and gameplay
"As a developer - and as a player - it's always sad and it always sucks to see studios close and devs lose their jobs. I really hope all those people land on their feet, because I know our indusutry is better with them in it," Patel tells the outlet. "As for me and how I look at things, I guess first and foremost: I don't believe in living in fear," the Avowed director.
Then gets shut down the next day. They should know better than to talk crazy like that.
Long enough to know I'm getting my money's worth.
Don't they check this? If the game is too long it won't fit in the disc drive...
Seriously, there's usually a spot you should reach for, if your game is repetitive and you know this then don't drag it on but don't charge £40.
100-300 hours, let's do it!
No more bullshit, step it up people
The game promotes diversity. If it can be replayable enough, 12 hours seems fine.
I love how everyone wants games to be long because they are $60. Have any of you played any old nintendo games as of late? Those games are easily within the 1-3 hour range and when they came out they were $50 or more so i don't understand the complaints? Just like back then not ALL games are going to be long it's how it has been and always will be. Contra can't be as long as Dragon Warrior just like Call of duty can't be as long as Elder Scrolls. Two different games its just not possible.
