I was going to try to title this thread a shitty joke about all of the games this draws comparison to, but I didn't. After some radio silence, a trailer just dropped for this:

Some Game Informer thing from last year.
So, you're basically a Thief/Assassin/Bioshock/JC Denton/Top Gun in steampunk City 17, and a bunch of notable folks in the games industry were potentially your real dad.

There's some sort of progressive violence-in-the-world-ometer. Also, apparently everyone is either a solider, a prostitute, or a plague victim.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1HlYTukh9A&has_verified=1Dishonored casts you as a supernatural assassin driven by revenge. You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, you become an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card. In a time of uncertainty, when the city is being besieged by plague and ruled by an oppressive government armed with strange technologies, dark forces conspire to bestow upon you abilities beyond those of any common man.
In Dishonored, creatively eliminate your targets with the flexible combat system as you combine the numerous supernatural abilities, weapons and unusual gadgets at your disposal. Pursue your enemies under the cover of darkness or ruthlessly attack them head on with weapons drawn. The outcome of each mission plays out based on the choices you make.

The most exciting thing about that Trailer was the dudes with with long legged mech things, because hot damn do games seem resistant to throw nasty things at you as regular enemies now adays
Even if this isn't an RPG as such, do we know if you have to make decisions about your equipment/abilities, or can you just take everything and choose what to do and how to approach it on the fly
Because I think I'd be okay with either plan of attack, come to think of it!
Wish they kept the cleaners in the original game
can you believe it's been five years since Episode Two
I thought it was about Klingons
This game looks sweet but I bet I'll get all motion sick / disoriented playing it, Mirrors Edge kinda did that to me
Nerds.
i would love a remake of KLINGON HONOR GUARD
The lead designers are Harvey Smith, who worked on System Shock, and was one of the designers of Deus Ex, and Raf Colantonio, lead designer on DMoMM.
They've also got Viktor Antonov, who designed City 17 in Half-Life 2.
Firman was getting nostalgic about TF2 yesterday
He said it was awesome when the servers were full in 2007
Goddamn
AC and Mirror's Edge with an added dash of crazy.
I love that they're looking at playtesters breaking the game as opportunities to turn those exploits into crazier gameplay.
This.
If its going to be a weird franchise ripoff of Assassin's Creed, here's to hoping it goes the route of Saboteur.
I always hoard my points and attempt to do this stuff in games.
I am
The worst gamer
whole lotta nazis left to kill
Also, reading those quotes I see that you take/increase powers at certain junctures so that's pretty RPGy I guess
Makes me wonder if the "you don't have to kill anyone" claim applies, not just to bosses, but to the specific targets you're supposed to be taking revenge on
I am intrigued, Fallout Hitman Creed Life sounds pretty fun
No they said that even the targets can be spared and the story will work with that. You can avoid killing everything.

This seems more like Thief or Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, to me.
So it's a big stupid Assassin's Creed rip off where you can teleport, summon rats, stop time, possess things and not actually assassinate anyone
what a rip off
Like steampunk, it's weirdly advanced retro tech in a reimagined England, but it's not steam powered for one, and not fancy gears & goggles for another. It's whale-oil powered electrical weird science + magic.
Unlike steampunk, it also seems to have a lot more of the -punk aspect, being a dirty, nasty setting with a sharp divide between the ruling elite and the commoners.
on the other hand I loved a lot of the hitman games and I'm a sucker for steampunk and dystopia
I guess what I'm saying is I'll probably buy this
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
They've confirmed (I'll try to dig up the quote) that you can beat the whole game without killing anyone, even the assassination in the demo they were showing to press doesn't need to end in a killing.
For some reason I really loved it.
I finished the main story, and just have all the freeplay Nazi killing to finish.
Yeah it's going to be in the Deus Ex mold, or Thief I guess.
