Bethesda Reveals 'Dishonored,' a New Action Game from Arkane Studios

@Deusx: I can't tell if the misspelling of "Deus Ex" in both your posts and your username is intentional or not.

It sounds great but... It sounds like Deusx Human Revolution so yeah not very original.

That's a joke, right?  Please say either yes or nothing. Please. 

No it is not a Joke. That game sounds like fucking Deusx... I know it is from the same creative directors but they seem to be following a trend now that they know Deusx is going to be awesome. ALSO... U MAD?

No. Are u?

I will wait for gameplay. You can describe terrible games to sound awesome if you take enough time and effort.

Man that concept sounds amazing. Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah are both great games as well, so this is definitely on my radar.

Already a Strider on a GI wallpaper. H2 rehashed here we go.

Hurray for a new IP! Hurray for (hopefully) some innovation! Yay!

Really damn glad to hear this, when the Crossing failed; I was absolutely devestated, that game looked so very brilliant. Took too many risks for any producers to pick up at the time, I hear. A german game magazine made a special on the topic. The game, at the time, was apparently combining single-player with multiplayer. Where one player (playing the single-player campaign) had his certain objectives to complete, and all the normally AI controlled units were made up of other players.

The interesting thing about this was that there were two factions at play who were fighting against each other, with the player trying to sneak his way through, using mirror-edge like traversal.

.. Man, that looked great. Seems to me Arcane Studios are holding up their end of the deal. Much unlike what a lot of people think, these guys have been responsible for some great parts of other well-known games. They designed the water and much of the levels in Bioshock if I remember correctly.

Dishonored? More like DISINTEREST!

No, seriously, this game sounds pretty cool. Then again, Bethesda DOES have a penchant for exaggerating, so we'll see how it turns out. But my first impression is definitely positive.

This is a video game designed especially to give me the world's largest boner.
 
I am in.

Considering the clunkiness of Bethesda published games, I can't say I'm all that interested in this.

It sounds a lot like Hitman. Obviously from the first person perspective it'll change things up considerably, but it definitely sounds interesting.
 
The creative and visual forces behind the game that have brought us many a quality title can only get someone excited as well.

Sounds interesting, but Arkane Studios background in games is very lackluster. Guess time will only tell.

Sounds awesome on paper.

Bethesda you say? This could be good, but I've grown to know better.

Sounds exciting, but I hope it doesn't turn out like so many games with multiple approaches before it, where there's the fun one, the easy one and/or the useless, unnecessarily difficult one.

It's a game about music where you don't need to keep a beat. It's a game about puzzles where you can hit stuff with a stick without letting one synapse ever fire. It's a game about cooking where you can order out for pizza. It's a game about World War II but it's in space and there aren't any Nazis or Japanese people. It's a game about massively multiplayer gaming where you never know anybody else is there. It's a game about Tron except it's interesting and good. It's a game about world conquest where you can just plant and harvest radishes. It's a game about Sudoku except you use machine guns and there are bears.

I could do this forever.

my butt still hurts from brink, no thank you sirs at bethesda

Could have sworn that was a new concept art image for the next Half-Life release, whatever that may be.

My body is ready, Bethesda.

Very interested, but my expectations are not high.

Considering the clunkiness of Bethesda published games, I can't say I'm all that interested in this.

The pedigree is there, here's hoping we get an awesome game. The concept art of City 17 is more often than not more amazing than what actually made it into the game so I hope with game tech having moved on a bit (a lot) since HL2, Viktor's work is translated more thoroughly into the game world.

Sounds like Trapt plus Thief. Well I always tend to gravitate towards stealth games anyway.

Arkane was working on that "Crossplayer" game, The Crossing, before right? The one which was both single player AND multiplayer all the time? That one sounded intriguing as hell, and I'll for new IP. Especially from the developers of Dark Messiah of Might & Magic. Bring it on Bethesda. You guys are a cool publisher; you just seem to get behind new games at random, and I dig that. Sure, occasionally you drop ...disappointments like Hunted: The Demon's Forge. But occasionally you  guys also bring us games like WET and Brink, so you guys are A-OK in my book! Also you keep bringing us Fallout, Elder Scrolls and id games now, so you've got guaranteed money-makers and you know it. 
 
Way to be the anti-Activision of the industry, and not annualize your money makers in lieu of bringing us new IP.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought "Oh hey, Half Life!" when I saw the cover. Edit: Well duh, makes sense, considering it's from the same guy. I should probably read the entire article first.

This.

"Well then. That sounds rather awesome, doesn't it?" 
 
That was my exact reaction to reading that description, but afterwards I read it again and pooped

But I like conversation trees.

Wow these are three of my favorite game designers of all time. Working together on a game worthy of their Looking Glass legacy for the first time in over a decade? Please someone I think I died and went to game heaven. I hope with all my no longer beating heart that this game is every bit as good as it sounds from this article. Talk about closing out this generation right.

Guess we can't do much other than wait and see, huh guys?

I'm interested, but at the same time, wary, we don't want another Deus Ex combined with Bethesda's somewhat clunky-ness to their games (And I say this as a massive fan of Bethesda). Having said that, I really wanna see the world of this game.

How does being published by Bethesda automatically make your game clunky?

Fact: 'K's make everything cooler.

That lineup of developers already has me sold on the game. I just hope they can pull off a good stealth game.

I was just playing HL2, and liked it so far, so I guess I can expect some good things from this.

STRIIIIIIIIIIDEEEEEEEEEER!!!

"Additionally, Viktor Antonov, the artist who designed the imposing world of City 17 in Half-Life 2, will be lending his artistic talents to Dishonored's game world."

Certainly interested in what the game will have to offer.

This and Risen 2 are my most anticipated games right now.
