Gather 'Round For The Tales From Dunwall

"The Awakening," the first of a three-part animated web series, sets a bleak tone for Bethesda's upcoming Dishonored.

From a distance, the city of Dunwall looks like a pretty cool place. It's a steampunk joint with a salting of the supernatural, packed with enough imperial pomp and underworld sleaze to keep it all interesting. Up close, it's a lot less pleasant, as evidenced by the bodies in the streets. But how did it get there? What price did it pay in the name of progress?

The Tales From Dunwall is a three-part animated series, narrated by Chloe Grace Moretz of Psyop [http://www.amazon.com/Kick-Ass-Three-Disc-Blu-ray-Combo-Digital/dp/B002ZG9846/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1348600556&sr=8-3&keywords=Kick-Ass], a marketing firm which has also created promotional materials for games like Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Dante's Inferno and Fable III.

It's not a happy trailer, but it is an awfully good one. I'm really looking forward to parts two and three, which will be released over the next couple of days, and Dishonored [http://www.amazon.com/Dishonored-Xbox-360/dp/B005C2D2MO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348600666&sr=8-1&keywords=dishonored], too, which isn't much further away: It launches on October 12 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Creepy.

... honestly, if there wasn't a word limit, I would say nothing else, but there it is. Even if the game isn't good, I'm fairly certain I'm going to enjoy the world it's set in.

Looking forward to exploring it. :)

Man, they are really hyping this game.
Fortunately, Arkane has proved itself capable of creating some great stuff so far, so I really hope they manage to pull this one off.

Looks very interesting. Dark and dreary steampunky sci-fi? And the pictures I saw kind of remind me of BioShock, except in a port city instead of an underwater one. But I honestly don't know too much about this. I'll check out the next view videos and certainly the review I expect The Escapist to run.

Just dispare and profit >)
No dinosaurs? Despair and profit? There is only one explanation:

But on topic, it does look neat. I'm not sure how good the game itself will be (it looks a little too quick for a first-person game) but the universe is the good kind of dark.

Stop hyping me up for this game... it won't work... I already pre-ordered it so I don't want to over reach with my own expectations.

Well the marketing department is definitely doing its job, just hope the game does the same.
