Bethesda Softworks believes in their vision and is giving them all the time, money, and development help (regular meetings with guys like The Elder Scrolls' Todd Howard don't make your game worse) they need.

:retarded:

Idea is good, seems like a Thief/Deus Ex kind of game in theory. I've at least some hope for it given that Arkane is on it regardless of Beth as the publisher.

Well, I don't know what to say. I am really excited about this.

:yeah:

Or perhaps it will be another shitty ME clone, like Alpha Protocol and DX: Human devolution?

Arkane is one of those developers that might actually stand a chance of making a good game. Looking forward to more information.

On the downside though, the games uses the shitty Unreal Engine 3.

This is bad for what reason?

Or would you prefer they used Beths iteration of Gamebryo instead? :smug:

Am I the only one who's getting pissed off when publishers get credits for games, like so
Bethesda’s next game is a first-person stealth/action adventure
?
Bethesda's not making it, thank god, you faggots.

Arkane studios actually have a half decent record. Arx Fatalis had potential. Dark Messiah was very good for what it is. Unfortunately, reading that article hurts my brain.

We've seen the game running, and now we share Colantonio and Smith's vision too. Dishonored is the antithesis of a edge-of-your-seat roller-coaster ride. It's a game about assassination where you don't have to kill anyone. It's a game about infiltration where you can set up traps and slaughter the entire garrison of an aristocrat's mansion rather than sneak in. It's a game about brutal violence where you can slip in and out of a fortified barracks with nobody ever knowing you were there. It's a game about morality and player choice where the world you create is based on who you kill and don't kill, not navigating conversation trees.

Fixed. Good luck with the hyping shit up. Whole concept sounds interesting, but, meh. Show me the gameplay.

Hope this time they make a Dark Messiah that isn't boring. The best part of that game was probably level design, with shitloads of secrets and many instances where you could dick around with rope arrows for good measure. If only the rest wasn't so repetitive.

I find it hilarious how Bethpasdo has exclusive rights to id tech 5 to their legion of minions and yet no game has been announced that uses it yet.

You know what's boring? Your face.

In related news, Black is entertained by kicking simulators. Do you watch wrestling?

Nope. But on the other hand, I didn't even use kicking that much either, mostly stealth kills because all the melee weapons were useless as all shit :M

Excellent. Though I was hoping for a sequel to Arx Fatalis, dungeon crawls are a little underrated, and stealth is starting to get a little too much love from the wrong people lately... The only one on my radar is Thief 4. Maybe.

Wtf? If you develop melee skills it becomes laughably easy to chop down hoards of orcs.

Hell yes, I was hoping Arkane would announce a new title soon. Hopefully it will be a good stealth game with some nice C&C among the storms of shit being released.
