Dishonored's missions are similar to the ones found in the Thief and the Deus Ex series

DSOGaming writes: "In a IAMA discussion at Reddit, Dishonored’s Co-creative Director, Harvey Smith, revealed that the game’s missions are inspired and based on the ones that were featured in two of our most favourite stealth video games, Deus Ex and Thief. Therefore, Dishonored’s missions in terms of depth, combination and flexibility will be identical to the ones from those two classic and beloved FPS games."

Possible sleeper hit of the year IMO. I hope it will get the recognition it deserves

Capt-FuzzyPants4306d ago

I think it'll get quite a bit of attention. So I don't think it will be a sleeper hit, just a hit.

Mystickay864306d ago

I'm looking forward to this & Sleeping Dogs, both potential sleeper hits

Moncole4306d ago (Edited 4306d ago )

What do you call a sleeper hit?

Both these games look great and are getting a ton of attention. A sleeper hit game is when a game does very well at launch and no one expected it. These are games people are expecting a lot of and will sell a lot at launch.

Mystickay864306d ago

I never knew about sleeping dogs until at least 1 to 2 month ago. I was in the dark.

Only game I am truly excited for release this year. Day one buy, considering the game turns out as good as I am hoping.

The way Bethesda published games turn out though, I am understandably reserved.

Deus Ex Deserves Better Than Being A Scapegoat For Embracer's Screw-Ups

Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."

maelstromb88d ago (Edited 88d ago )

One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.

I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …

First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …

PrimeVinister275d ago

Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.

I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.

Yi-Long275d ago

Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.

PrimeVinister275d ago

@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D

shammgod275d ago

Red Dead 2 opening was trash
