First-person gaming is a much-maligned beast. And rightly so – the genre’s getting lazy, homogenous, restrictive and sequel-obsessed. Enter Dishonored, a triumphant ‘screw you’ too all those conventions. Let’s look at how Arkane Studios is righting the industry’s wrongs, one at a time.
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.
Gaming does not need saving. Stop talking crap.
not clicking each page sorry
In order to save something it would need to be in need of being saved. And if then to say that one game can somehow save a billion dollar industry is fallacy.
May the creator be used to play Fifas and Kinect? I don't remember the need of save gaming, and not with those reasons. I'm still sceptic for this game, and I will remain until I take my hands on a demo or something.
He needs to stop being a game journalist or gamer if he thinks gaming needs saving
