Some good data in them slides, though I bet it’s 2% of what was conveyed in the talk. Either way, thanks for sharing. You lot did a stellar job in Dishonored. Hope you guys get to do more of what you want. I also hope The Crossing makes it out at some point. Good luck with the move to France…

Hey there Mr. Smith! Any interest in doing a brief email interview for the JaceHallShow? Dishonored was our Game of The Year 2012 and we’re thinking about doing a write up, it would be cool to get some brief quotes from you. Let me know what you think. I’m really looking forward to it.

Thanks,
Justin Kahn

Far Cry 3 is amazing! a true big world full of color and life.
Now, thank you for Dishonored! is such a good game, with a rich storyline, fine art and fantastic action.. gosh almost 80 dollars later, let´s resume my “Skyrim experience” as – Everything what the open world and depth in story, from the ads, can’t replicate as a true Fallout 3.

I Rage! ops.. sorry, this is another “cool game.” you know? c o o l….
Again! I Hate false ads!

Thanks for Dishonored! is the best game inside the Zenimax family, in the sense of “is the real deal” after the ads. GO Arkane!

Harvey,

I’ve worked in gaming for a decade as a composer and sound designer. Ironically, I’ve never really played games very much because I found the action/adventure/shooters to be boring and the quirky types to lack any visceral payoff. The majority of my gaming was playtesting for my job, and not much more.

After seeing the Dishonored trailer the week of its release, I immediately drove to my local game store and bought it. That was 3 months ago. Since then, I’ve beaten dishonored on every difficulty level (except easy) over 50 times. I’ve done Low Chaos, High Chaos, Ghost, Clean Hands, etc.

I’ve played trials of countless other games hoping that they deliver the incredible experience of Dishonored only to be disappointed and finding myself returning for yet another playthrough. And even after all this time I’m still making new discoveries and trying new strategies every time I play.

I’ve always believed in the power of gaming to become the ultimate artistic medium, and in my opinion Dishonored has firmly established it as just that, and set a very high bar in the process. It is truly a masterpiece of creative and thoughtful design that captures every aspect of what makes gaming so great in a way I’ve never experienced before. I eagerly await future releases of this franchise, it is truly an historic achievement in creativity. Impressed doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about it.

sincerely,
Wally Scharold
