'Death has more weight' in Dishonored, dev says

This game is a ten out of ten for me. Top-notch work. Thank you Bethesda and Arkane Studios for making this masterpiece ha ha.. :)

i started a playthrough and have avoided killing. it's harder, but worth it.

Looks like a winner to me.

Sadly I wont buy this game, fuck you bethesda.

It looks fun though, maybe ill just download it or buy it from a friend

I, will play this game without killing the first time around....then, try the other possibilities, I love this type of game, choice.

I'm loving these guys (Rafael and Harvey to be precise)! They have a good grasp of what's right and what's not within the medium these days and are able to express those thoughts without sounding pretentious or self-centered. Even if Dishonored is not able to live up to the game's promises (which I highly doubt it won't) expect a purchase from me chaps!

I was really hoping that they meant the death of the player held more weight. Cause they can come up with all of these new ways to make you think about avoiding combat, and thinking about your decisions, but when you can start your game a couple minutes before you died it dies not really matter. It will all boil down to using a few of the choices in skills and combat for most gamers, and they will just kill whatever is in front of them without thinking about using other means. If you made a game with a lives system that let you save anywhere, but when you loaded that save it would delete it, so there is no reset game, load save tray again option, and if you lost all of your lives you had to restart from the beginning. Then players would explore alternatives to combat, or think situations through more thoroughly before barging into the next area guns blazing. It would also warrant the use of all your neato powers, and weapons to just avoid loosing that last life. So as much as you think players are going to make hard decisions killing enemies, all they will end up doing is run and gun without care, cause there is no penalty for doing so. In the end if it is a great selling game it will be billed as a mix of COD with mystical powers.

Ehh....I'm getting more nervous about this game. Don't get me wrong, I'm getting it, but the more attention a game gets like this, the more it tells me it's half-ass and needs all the hype possible. I mean they've shown alot of the game already with all the powers, etc. in action. Shown both kinds of stealth and slaughter types of gameplay. I really, really hope they save some surprise for petes sake! It's getting to be a little too much overkill at the moment...and that worries me.

I definitely was looking forward to this new IP. The dev can say whatever, I'll be the judge at release. I hope it's great.

blah blah blah hype hype buy our game it's different honest.

"Sounds like this game has a lot of..."

*puts on sunglasses*

"...dead weight"

YEEEEEAAAH!

Arx Fatalis was a brilliant game.  It had enough flexibility that you could actually kill your way to "breaking" the game, like the brilliant old Ultima games.  Kill enough quest-givers across multiple factions (i.e., wanton tribe-cleansing violence), and you'd eventually just be left wandering.  Of course, there were plenty of paths to success provided, but I like that you can CHOOSE to simply piss EVERYONE off.

It's sad that re-hashed garbage like CoD sells millions while gems like this get barely any attention...

PR machine is on overdrive lately. We've gotten a few articles about publishers giving their devs. free reign to do what they want.

saw few gamepay videos very impressed but uncertain if day 1 buy.

Pre-ordered this along with Halo 4 a long while back. Very excited for this

This is the ONLY game I'm interested in Q4 2012.

It looks very promising.  I'm pretty excited to try it out.

This game is looking more and more like a Day 1 purchase

Exciting stuff. I can't wait to try this game.
