I do remember reading an interview that it's missions structured just like Hitman: Blood Money. Every level is a mini-sandbox for the player to approach on every possible angle. Also, judging by the people involved(Harvey Smith and Arkane) I bet it'll lean more towards the stealth side of things instead of the man-slaughter side, although you totally have the option to do that either.xXxJessicaxXx said:
That's pretty much what I thought of it as well.manic_depressive13 said:
"Killing me won't solve anything!"
"Revenge solves everything."
When that bit came on, my impression was: "Oh look, another game that thinks I'm an idiot."
Having said that, I've learned never to trust trailers, be they good or bad. Until I see some proper gameplay, as well as some hints to what the story will be, I'm not going to write-off Dishonored just yet.

But seriously, I'm intrigued but not excited, Ive learnt enough about expecting things from trailers only to be horribly horribly crushed.
HORRIBLY.
Dieselpunk it is most certainly not as that would mean it was a subgenre of DecoPunk (like Bioshock) and set in style terms between the first and second world wars.TheYellowCellPhone said:
If anything this comes across as Clockpunk or Teslapunk. Infact the devs said the city was based off London during the bubonic plague (1666 I think may have been the year they used for reference) so this would make the setting timewise closer to Clockpunk as Teslapunk tends to be 18th-20th and Steampunk tends to fall under 1837-1910 (The Victorian era).
OT: This game has been on my radar for a while so enjoyed the trailer and looking forward to some gameplay (though journalists have apprently seen some at closed doors events)
Well this thread has gone off the rocker.
I first criticized this trailer for not showing gameplay, however I realized I holding a double-standard cause I loved the Deus Ex Human Revolution trailer despite it showing no gameplay.
So I realized my problem with the trailer is that it was just uninteresting. Story of revenge and oppressive governments need something to back them up rather than just having pretty pre-rendered visuals. It's like they are showing off what they want the gameplay to be without showing us what they've done.

Everything from the trailer has been talked about in previous interviews and written about from demoed previews. In fact, I'm pretty sure the freeze time/shoot with crossbow thing was something which a play-tester discovered at random.Aerosteam 1908 said:
The lead designer of Deus Ex is co-lead designing another immersive sim, and you blow it off because it's first-person?Zachary Amaranth said:

Yes. It's almost like the very nature of first person games is enough to prevent me from being "immersed" or even interested.Woodsey said:
Why do I have a feeling your argument would fall flat if it was done in a format you disliked.
I have yet to be presented with a game which has attempted to woo and immerse me through interpretative dance, and so such a theory cannot yet be tested.Zachary Amaranth said:

I got the sense it was meant to be somewhat ironic, instead of "this line sounds cool". I mean, murdering your way to innocence never goes brilliantly, does it? It seems pretty self-aware.Spitfire said:
to me the game looks like a mash up of HL2, Assassins Creed, bioshock and Mirrors Edge.
looks like a winner to me

Mirror's Edge + Thief? Sold.
Too bad it isn't open world though. That would have sent anticipation to stratospheric levels.

How does seeing things through your characters eye, like... I dont know... you do in real life, prevent you form being immersed.Zachary Amaranth said:
If anything floating 5-10 feet above your character looking down like in third person games should be the most immersion breaking.
Something that excited me was a single blurb: "A no kill playthrough is possible"
Now, I'm probably not going to do that (maybe once just to see if I can) but even if that doesn't interest you it does say something really good about this type of game: multiple ways to approach each situation. You know that thing Deux Ex HR tried to do but kinda failed at? Yeah, that, but done well, is something I really love in games like this. Emphasis on done well.

Just to be that guy, none of that proves that those games are a buggy mess. Having completed Hunted myself I cannot remember a single bug, let alone a serious game-breaking one.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
It'd probably be more difficult to find a non-obscure title that doesn't have any bug videos, screenies or reports online.
