Ravi: "When Thief 4...I mean, Thief was unveiled after a long, long, long time of hype, it was amazing to note the overall structure of the game. A world ravaged by plague and kept in a kind of police state under someone who wields absolute power while the shadowy Garrett pursues his own agenda – but doesn’t that sound a little familiar? It immediately brought to mine Arkane Studios’ Dishonored, a tight little action-stealth game that emphasized the rewards and challenge of sneaking through and lethally disarming your enemies versus going on a total massacre. So it leads to the question: If the new Thief can be inspired by games like Assassin’s Creed, why not do a few things that Dishonored does as well?"
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.
Thief has already done all of these things, minus the silent protagonist. Really, Dishonored drew from a lot of things that Thief originally did, but put its' own spin on them. And that's why Dishonored was such a success, and why the new Thief will probably be one as well.
