Destructoid Interview: Arkane Studios on Dishonored

Allistair Pinsof writes, "After posting my glowing Dishonored preview last week, I received some comments saying my post was overflowing with hyperbole – they must not be familiar with the track record of Arkane Studios’ Harvey Smith and Raphael “Raf” Colantonio.

"During QuakeCon, I got to sit down with the two Austinites and discuss The Crossing’s current status, the fate of dungeon crawlers and what games inspired Dishonored’s development."

I'm extremely excited about Dishonored. The world looks fantastic and the concept of being an assassin with supernatural powers is just spot on for me!

Plus, you can stop time, strap a bomb to a rat, possess the rat and then use it as a remote control bomb. Awesome.

Did these guys ever make a good game ?

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.

Deeeeznuuuts423d 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

JEECE423d 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.

Relientk77423d 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

RIP Viktor love your work

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 Fenix616d ago

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

Relientk77616d ago

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

TheNamelessOne616d ago

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

Miacosa616d 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.

Psychonaut85616d 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
