That's unfortunate. The Dishonored series could've gone on to replace the hole the Theif series left after this upcoming second installment.

Guess they want to venture into other IPs then.

SlappingOysters2797d ago

I get the impression this is just Harvey Smith getting itchy feet. He was happy to hand Deus Ex over to someone else. He will probably do that with Dishonored, too (hopefully without the 10 year gap)

Blu3_Berry2797d ago

That's fine, I'm sure we will have another dishonored game in say about 5-6 years. Bethesda would be silly to drop it. This guy would have moved on to something else by then.

Summons752797d ago

Why even ask this now. 2 hasn't even released yet and if the major problems that dragged the first game through the mud are still present in 2 then there shouldn't be a 3rd. That said I really hope they can turn Dishonored around, it had such great potential but it flopped so hard.

DarkOcelet2797d ago

What issues are you talking about exactly? The only issue the first game had was its length. Thankfully it had an excellent replay value and it seems Arkane has already addressed that issue by making the second game almost twice as long.

And the first game exceeded Bethesda's expectations so i don't know where you get 'flopped so hard' info from.

Summons752797d ago

Floaty gameplay, terribly written and predictable story, art style ripped straight from Bioshock, the worst AI guards I have ever seen in all my 25 years of gaming (run around broad daylight in front of the guards and get stealth kills), the promise of being able to kill everyone or kill no one (and while the no kill option was in the game the first person I tried to kill that wasn't a guard, a random maid, it gave me a game over and told me I can't do that). Terrible game that got way to overrated by people who have never played a stealth game in their life. Like I said the first had a great concept and potential, it was a huge disappointment. The second one so far is looking like they are making an effort to fix the issues but I'm pretty skeptical for how badly the first one went.

"art style ripped straight from Bioshock"
Um, the art style might be similar to Bioshock but its not like Bioshock created that art style. I think it looks amazing but your perspective might differ from mine.

"Floaty gameplay"
I thought the gameplay was incredible and nothing floaty about it and the more you play it, the tighter the game mechanics become so maybe that was your gripe is that you didn't spend much time with the game. Some games like dishonored needs time to get used to its mechanics and master it or else it won't feel satisfying.

"the worst AI guards I have ever seen in all my 25 years of gaming, run around broad daylight in front of the guards and get stealth kills "
I have started on the hardest mode available and the AI was incredibly challenging at times especially later on where there are guards that stands on rooftops. I can't tell you the number of times i had to replay some missions because the guards from far away spotted me and running on broad daylight was not an option. Maybe they didn't act as well as you wanted because you played on lower difficulties.

"the promise of being able to kill everyone or kill no one (and while the no kill option was in the game the first person I tried to kill that wasn't a guard, a random maid, it gave me a game over and told me I can't do that)."

I am gonna be honest with ya on this one, i never tried to kill a maid in the game lol so i don't know about that one. I usually just kill the bad guys or no kill at all.

TheOptimist2797d ago

That's great news, sometimes COD-ing games is just not the right way to go.

TheEvilResident19972797d ago

It's only COD-ing a game if it's a every year thing dishonered 1 came out in 2012 the second one is coming in the end of 2016 how is that COD-ing?

Looks like a Skyrim clone. Very interesting if done well.

Since it’s Turkish, the “myth” is probably the Armenian holocaust :(

Laskin4h ago

Ask Turkish ppl and you’ll find out it’s not so dumb… almost all of them (91%) still deny it to this day.

Cacabunga2h ago

You are not so clever.. you are calling a war from the first quarter of 1900 as mythology.. really shows how well informed you are.

The war was triggered by secularist nationalist government they had back then.. don’t see why actual Turkish population should be held responsible for..

Stay on topic, which is video games.. politics and history are too complicated for your likes

Laskin1h ago

I’m not calling it a myth, Turkish ppl say it, you missed the “” part…

Terry_B5h ago

Is there even one good game created in the Turkey so far?

PitbullMonster5h ago

Metin 1&2 and the Mount and Blade Series are the most known ones.

Michiel19895h ago

Metin ....how dare you name that in the same sentence with the word "good"

Crytek says hi.. learn before posting

Zeke681h ago

"Crytek was founded by the Turkish-German brothers Cevat, Avni and Faruk Yerli in September 1999 in Coburg, Germany."

So he's right, Crysis games are not made IN Turkey... ;)

Ha man what is this the 8th time they are working on this issue?

SO the game is using division one maps/assets with some divison 2 thrown in with that we can say they never really made the maps so what have they been doing for there 6 to perhaps 8 years of dev time? must be alot of hookers/blow/parties.

Notellin1d 1h ago

It's astounding how much money they blow and this is the results. Gaming development is out of control.

just_looken14h ago

Right even when ubisoft cancelled division heartland as a beta player that game was a far better state then they push with this trash of a game that is still in a beta state after 3 years of delay's.

we are so starved of any decent fps/3rd person shooters out there it seems we will take anything even though some ps2 fps games were more fun then this game in my old opinion.

FPS_D3TH23h ago

Skeptical because it was an issue with ALL the betas and still hasn’t been fixed

just_looken14h ago

Its like they are using division one servers but they caught fire then were put together with barry/carols help from the janitors wing or some shit. Three years they still can not make it so the gun goes boom the guy gets hit then damage is applied.

Time for a change. Football games haven't evolved much.

Cacabunga1d 4h ago

It’s tough when there is no competition

Abear2122h ago

There’s PES and now we’ll have FC25 and FIFA so yes, but it is no longer true, shit is about to get real!

Now if we only had two viable options for Basketball and American football we’d be on to something.

MrNinosan18h ago

@Abear21
PES didn't exist since 2020, and the rebranded eFootball is crap.

porkChop15h ago

If what we've heard is true, the reason FIFA games don't change is literally because of FIFA itself rejecting nearly every pitch for new features and mechanics.

The barber shop and roulette wheel are going to be awesome.

Abear2122h ago

Pay to win is the new free to play

CrimsonWing691d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

It’ll be monetized to all hell, regardless

StormSnooper1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.
