My understanding..most games start on the PC which works well with Microsoft's OS, tools and optimization and since the Xboxone will also take advantage of these same strengths, I expect the Xbox one games to run very well.

the architecture is even closer this coming gen with X86, hardware and software.

It's all about optimization and using good tools. Not always Raw specs. Like Apple iPhone and Android hardware comparisons.

I cant wait until the tech really just gets maxed out and we see the true potential of these games.

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.

Deeeeznuuuts448d ago

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

JEECE448d ago

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.

Relientk77448d ago

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

rokos448d ago

RIP Viktor love your work

Ethereal448d ago

Damn... Dishonored has such amazing art. RIP.

Arkane Co-Founder Says Dishonored and Prey Fans 'Will Be Happy' With His Next Game

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.

Marcus Fenix641d ago

Can’t wait to see what they’re working on

Relientk77641d ago

If it's something like Dishonored, then I am totally here for it.

TheNamelessOne641d ago

Let's hope. Their first game, Weird West, really wasn't my thing.

Miacosa641d ago

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.

Psychonaut85640d ago

Fuck yeah. Even if it’s just a spiritual successor I want more titles like Dishonored in terms of art style, design and gameplay
