Dishonored


Recommended Posts

RPS says Spring 2016.  As far as I can tell that hasn't actually been officially announced yet, but Cara Ellison (former RPS columnist) is working on Dishonored 2 so perhaps they've gotten a back-channel scoop.

 

*Edit - If true, this is much better than Fall 2016, or Fall 2017 which I feared after they didn't even announce a release year.

 

*Edit 2 - Here's a video of the after-show Dishonored 2 interview, which might have more info.  Watching it now.

It's in Karnaca, Corvos home in the Mediterranean equivalent (in that Dunwall was London-ish)

Apparently there was some post-trailer chit chat from the devs where the "one or the other " came from and the locale.

Yeah, I just posted the video.  They do confirm Spring 2016 release also.

 

In the interview they also make clear that you can't switch, and say that "for story reasons that makes sense" so I'm guessing you're right that whoever you don't pick dies, or is at least injured or captured or something.

21 things we know about Dishonored 2.

 

I like this part that I view as a not-so-subtle dig at Thief:

 

 

 

Arkane says it's preserving the systems that allow for experimentation with the special abilities. "When we put an element in the game, we don't put it in the game and attach it to something," Smith says. "We make it general purpose work so you can attach it anywhere. The worst thing in the world would be if Blink had attach points. That would be the dumbest idea because it means you can only go if we want you to go.

I'm actually glad it's a fall release. At first I was expecting late spring/early summer and I'd like to get a replay/achievements clean-up run done on the original before the sequel comes out, so this gives me plenty of time for that.

 

Although, it'd be nice to see a Steam store page soon. With the recent discovery that Bethesda developed their own fucking launcher, I'm kinda worried they'll be moving towards having their own distribution and storefront and fuck everything about that. I don't want yet another unwanted shitty fucking app to deal with.

 

edit: Oh my god, Corvo will be voiced by the guy that voiced Garrett in the original Thief games. Holy shit, that's fucking awesome!

The short n shiny gameplay trailer

 

Their gameplay sequence from the confrence, though ends before they covered the time travelling stuff (If anyone knows of a source on that pls link, it was pretty cool)

 

Both Emily n Corvo are now voiced characters, and I suspect from the way they presented that you'll play as one or the other that one of them doesn't make it out the prologue alive. But we'll see. I'm sorta mulling over who I'd play, Corvo has the abilities you see in original, but amped up a little, and Emily has a mostly new set of skills. Seems like they're gonna have the way you carry out missions play more into the overall story now too, in the original there was the High/Low chaos and some remarks made post mission (though only one I've noticed so far of note that wasn't ambiguous was the note left to Corvo from Pendleton if you don't kill his brothers).

I'm slightly miffed the overall arc seems to be another "you're set up for murders, now prove your innocence" but that's just the framework to exploring a neat world n cool missions.

 

Also since I'm replaying: The place where the majority of Dishonored 2 is set is Corvos home (there's a thing with Dishonored in that there's natural suspicion of Corvo since he's not local).
