Interesting.

I'm not a fan of the art style personally, but everything else about this game looks great.

Will there be a talky way? Because that would be my way.

Both styles look exhilirating, but for entirely different reasons.

I hope this turns out to be a great game, it really looks like it could.

I'm glad I got my pre-order in for my whale oil lamp bonus! I was a little leery about this game at first but E3 turned that around real quick.

Theres a lot to like about this, and it looks like it could be great fun if done well.

Have to agree with others though, I really don't care for the art style. Something a little less cartoony/comicy and I'd be a day one buyer if it matches the rest of the promise it has.

#yearofthebow. And I will probably do a mixture between stealth and action.

Wow... Finally a game that has some thought put into it! Bethesda's Version of Hitman looks very very interesting. Games that give the player choices like these have crazy replay value. I will be busy playing both Hitman Absolution & Dishonored since they release only a month apart. Very Excited!!

That tornado slap ability looks pretty powerful. Seems like it might take a lot of the challenge out of being stealthy.

Looks like a Deus Ex: HR done right if and only if both action and stealth routes are viable. The problem with HR was that the action route was barely viable if at all, and the stealth route was viable but boring and not very fun. Dishonored looks like it has improved both routes, and if that's true it could be an outstanding game.

@triviaman09: Id say that's a pretty good evaluation. After watching these two videos, I'm on board.

The action portion was still very methodical but it looks like a way to waste a ton of resources. It also looks like youll be doing a lot of skill switching in this game. Looks very awesome.

Game looks great. It's going to help fill that void left by Bioshock Infinite being delayed.

This game is Bioshock meets Deus Ex meets Fallout.

THANK YOU ARKANE STUDIOS FOR MAKING A GAME THAT pretty much has everything I have wanted in a game.

A multitude of powers, time manipulation, guns, knives, options, teleporting, choice, a strong story, good graphics.

This game looks awesome, and I love that you can choose to be stealthy, or be a vicious killer, or a mixture of both.

I can't wait to play it!

Ugh, hopefully the PC version has a bigger FOV because watching this on my monitor is nauseating.

Seems like you have a lot of options for dealing with any scenario in this game. This method seems pretty damn fun too.

lol, there are tons of games that do that silly johnny. but in an assassination based game, not that many things have pure talking route in it, though there is that sidequest option create a situation in which your target are neutralized in a different fashion.
