Danny O'Dwyer, formerly of GameSpot, released a documentary on developer Arkane Studios today, through their Patreon-supported company, Noclip. Along with their employees and supported by 4,197 patrons, O'Dwyer managed to talk to the studio behind the Dishonored series about their projects, including three cancelled games.
I hope whatever Deathloop is ends up being amazing but then again considering who the publisher is I don't really have a lot of faith in the title.
"Dishonored developer Arkane has never revealed much about long lost project The Crossing, but Internet sleuths have come to the rescue."
The games that they don't cancel turn out to be award winners in future.
That was actually pretty interesting. I might have to give Dishonored a shot today.
On August 12th, Bethesda’s parent company, Zenimax, announced the acquisition of Arkane Studios at Quakecon in Dallas, Texas (the official site has remained "under construction" since). While the announcement itself was rather low key, if you take a look at the people on hand at Quakecon representing Arkane, it does bring up some interesting possibilities.
This is really unfortunate news. I was really looking forward to this game. The alternate history line concept seemed really cool as did the Left4Dead-like multi play.
If this is because of EA troubles then hopefully another publisher will come along and help...Ubisoft? Activision?
by the way I think it was supposed to be on 360 too?
