I wouldn't be surprised if something similar somehow ended up being the twist. Can an elder personality instantly assert itself at the moment of diablerie and forget what its own body looks like?
Chinese Room needs to give their customers something to identify with after all.
If we got nice modern FPS with large environments, it might be nice. Especially if they included breakable environment.
To me they died after they never made a sequel to Dark Messiah. Dishonored couldn't hold a candle to it. Cheap cellshadey graphics killed all the mood. To even older old fags, they probably died after Arx Fatalis.
Right, they never made a good game
Isn't that sort of thing more up to Ubisoft, since they own the IP of HoMM? Not to mention, a sequel which would lead into what exactly? One ending has you summoning Kha-Beleth and palling it up with the best dad in all of video games as you conquer the world, the other has you locking him away forever - with the addition of Leanna or Xana being there with you for the endings, though Xana does bring that flavor of betraying your father. All in all, let's say you go with the fuck over your father ending (be it with Xana or Leanna), what more is there to do as Sareth in the world? His story has reached its peak in Dark Messiah. Or would you just regurtitate the same kind of story beats in the sequel?
I mean fair enough, that universe was kinda a one shot. But you could still make a separate game build on same core things. A so called spiritual successor. Prequel if you really have to keep the universe. Pretty graphics, fun and impactful melee combat that is relatively simple but has depth, linear but interesting levels to explore etc. Dishonored was a stealth game through and through. And while you could just slaughter everything, it wasn't nearly as fun because the game was not designed around it. Point is, I never experienced any other game that managed to replicate dark messiah gameplay well.
PREY is their last good game. Now its full speed ahead straight off a cliff
You could make another game set in the same world with a different character.
Or better yet, NOT the shitty generic fantasy of HOMM, set it in the sci/fantasy of Xeen or Enroth.
Hehe....I still remember when HOMM devs tried to add sci-fi to a setting that already had sci-fi and got death threats over it. Sometimes I weep at the stupidity of fandoms.
Workers Day. It will come out today. (Thursday)
