You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the Empress. Framed for her murder and driven by revenge, you must become an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card. As you navigate a world torn apart by plague and oppressed by a government armed with strange new technologies, the truth behind your betrayal is as murky as the waters surrounding the city. The choices you make will determine the fate of the world, but no matter what happens your old life is gone forever.

that sandbox steampunk assassination game by HL2, Deus Ex and Thief devs.

 

[thetrin]

Yeah, isn't Harvey Smith directing this?

 

[Sethos]

The HL2 inspiration is uncanny

 

[Zombie James]

Definitely getting the HL2 vibe...

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Pretty pumped for this. Can't wait to see it in action.

 

[JaseC]

The City 17 inspiration is very obvious.

Edit: Beaten like an egg.

 

[StuBurns]

The car thing looks just like the ones in HL2.

Anyway, while technically unimpressive, it looks amazing.

 

[Grisby]

I like the idea but none of the screenies have really wowed me yet.

 

[Arnie]

Looks like Bioshock mixed with Half Life 2 from a visual perspective.

 

[thetrin]

What's going to make this game look good isn't screen shots. It's going to be the gameplay, especially based on what magazines have described.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

It reminds me of Half Life/Riddick/The Darkness. So fucking good. I'm basically almost sold, all I need now is to see the game in motion.

 

[mr_nothin]

Looks like a Bioshock/Half-Life 2/Resistance/Team Fortress 2/Brink/Timesplitters mashup.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Is this using the Source engine?

Also it's amazing how in 2011 devs still cannot do circular wheels.

 

[fresquito]

After reading the RPS preview, I'm quite interested in this. However, is it me or the name Dishonored sounds awfull?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Finally people agree with me that it has a HL 2 look to it. Screens keep looking better. Can't wait.

 

[SapientWolf]

Looks like the fashion police weren't feeling that hat.

 

[Shadow of the BEAST]

Looks like its all over the place.

Im not sure i like it.

 

[Salih]

expected more.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

This is what happens when Ken Levine and Gabe Newell make a baby.

 

[Lasthope106]

This will hold me over till Half-Life 3.

City 17 is one of the most distinct game environment in gaming, and this is made by the same guy.

 

[koji]

Looks cool, interested!

 

[Darklord]

I keep imagining the Strider howls from HL2. I like it's look.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Like the wheels that don't touch the ground

 

[SuperÑ]

Looks like a mix between Bioshock 3, HL2 and The Saboteur.

 

[staticneuron]

I don't see any resemblance to HL2. It seems like people are holding on to that instead of letting the picture speak for themselves. The images make it look like old london.

 

[Persona7]

Looks horrible but I will wait for a demo.

 

[Shadow of the BEAST]

Id kill for a the tripods game though.

It was one of my favourite shows as a kid.

 

[crowphoenix]

All right. I'm interested. Looks great.

 

[dmshaposv]

Dude,

The Car in the first pic look like that Combine Armoured Vehicle.
The Walking mech is a cross between P-Body and a Strider
All environments look part of City 17

On top of that, the rendering style of the humans reminds me of Team Fortress 2/DotA 2 style toon shading which Valve is doing.

Art palette is also, straight out of City 17.

 

[Always-honest]

came here to say exactly that

 

[Oppo]

I thought this thread might be for infamous bullshots that looked way better than the final game did.

 

[SturokBGD]

Looks interesting, but I played Modern Warfare 2 last week, so I'm clearly too fucking stupid to play this game. Oh well.

 

[dark10x]

Looks fantastic!

 

[Kinyou]

I guess it will depend a lot on how serious you can take the world. At the moment the characters have this "Brink" look which I'm not really a fan of.

 

[Mad_Ban]

The character designs and postures remind me of Bioshock, whilst the environment is basically HL2.

me gusta.

 

[Aaron]

I don't like any of the mechanical design. None of it seems functional, but instead made weird for the sake of being weird.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

The city looks more like France than the eastern European design of City-17 although it does have a similar graphical style to HL2.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Looks awesome, can't wait. Hopefully there are some RPG elements like in Dark Messiah.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Art palette is also, straight out of City 17.

Viktor Antonov is the visual design director

[Data West]

Something about this game just looks REALLY lifeless and sterile.

 

[Ashodin]

Finally, screenshots of Half-Life 3!

 

[Derrick01]

While people debate/complain about graphics I will be anticipating more gameplay details. Deus Ex-type games are supposed to be substance first, graphics last and we desperately need more of them.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

I thought this thread might be for infamous bullshots that looked way better than the final game did.

THIS^

And I was going to say Far Cry 3


Back on topic: This looks interesting. I'm getting a HL2/Bioshock Infinite vibe.

 

[Like the hat?]

never heard of this before, but I dig the art style

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Mr. V. Stabby versus Timesplitting Nazi Pirates on Stilts in Half-Shock: The Saboteur - The Occasional Steampunk Chronicles.

Seems weird. Looking forward to the eventual gameplay demo.

 

[Dascu]

Damn cool art direction.

 

[MacBosse]

Is this using the Source engine?

Also it's amazing how in 2011 devs still cannot do circular wheels.

You know they can ... don't you?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

First I've ever heard of it.

... Looks pretty fucking awesome.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

Brink meets Half-Life 2 meets Velvet Assasin meets Battlefield Heroes.
