I wonder how many people who didn't buy Dishonored 2 or Deathloop are going to complain about Arkane making a Marvel game instead of working on an original IP.

isarai861d ago

I didn't buy either, but I still feel like the Arkane that built Dishonored is actually an amazing fit for Blade. Sadly I don't know if that Arkane exists anymore as over 70% of the staff including many veterans left their Austin studio cause they didn't want to make redfall and didn't like where things were headed. And Both Dishonored games were a collab effort from the two studios.

Now Lyon is apparently heading this game, not sure if they collaborating with Austin, and the last game they made alone was Death loop which, while mechanically great, had terrible AI and the loop was a poor excuse to turn a 5hr game into a 16hr game, which was really just the premise of the Prey DLC repurposed.

But we'll just have to wait and see, if they can still nail some buttery mechanics, but fill out their shortcomings in content and AI, I'll love the hell out of this game, I love blade as a character, from the comics to the films and cartoons he's badass and I always wanted a game to really pull it off.

Arkane Austin had nothing to do with Dishonored. They made Prey and Redfall. Arkane Austin losing staff has no effect on Lyon, which is the actual Arkane dev everyone knows.

@porkChop

You're wrong bro, Dishonored 2 was the first time they split up and did separate projects, but they both developed Dishonored 1. it's all right here bruv.

I couldn't care less who makes it as long as the game is good.

Profchaos861d ago (Edited 861d ago )

I brought death loop I loved it but it's done I don't want a sequel that would wreck it. I admit I didn't like the dishonored franchise though.

I also enjoyed the blade movies that nightclub scene was the most brutal thing I saw as a kid so it'll be great to see someone bring this to life in a game.

Also arkane are actually great at environmental storytelling. I casually played through death loop but didn't feel I missed much of the story which was largely told by picking up notes and diary entries this is actually a skill that many games try and fail. I feel as if the day Walker will probably benifit from that style of game

Flawlessmic861d ago

well im not expecting this to be a graphical power house, especially based of what little we know it looks like it going be very stylised.

Either way, please let this be good!!!!! Give us the Blade/Wesley snipes game we always wanted!!

im just glad a blade game is coming seeing as the movie reboot is in shambles atm.

the first blade movie to this day is still my favourite marvel movie

shinoff2183861d ago

This game has potential to be dope as fk. I remember watching blade when I was younger and just mesmerized. Fantastic stuff

BrainSyphoned861d ago

What a coincidence! It's also being developed for the console everyone is aVoiding.

DivineHand125861d ago

I was hoping the game was going to look photo realistic like a UE5 game, however, it seems the visuals will likely look like Death Loop. The performance of this engine is significantly better than UE5 so hopefully the gameplay will be fun.

Abnor_Mal861d ago (Edited 861d ago )

The artstyle of the characters look like many will be top heavy with little skinny legs and feet.

Others look like they may have the look of that avengers cartoon where they were short but had big hands and feet, let’s hope it’s not that, always hated that look.

I hope the game is dark and the vampires employ a blink teleport style similar to how you used one of your powers in Dishonored. Lots of gun action with silver stakes and holy water, crosses and hand to hand combat.

Really loved the preview, and enjoyed seeing what you had to say about it as well!

On another note, the article mentions posting the video once you are allowed to—were you given a different embargo date for it? We were simply told the article and video footage were restricted until 8:00 AM Central Time.

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg1d 16h ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k41d 12h ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS1d 16h ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
