Never knew I wanted a Blade game from the Dishonored team, but now I need it.

[–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would not be so sure this is the Dishonored team. The studio may have the same name, but the investigative news reports about Redfall's development suggests that most of the studio's senior talent left during that game's development.

Developers who chose to spend their career making immersive sims are unlikely to stick around at a studio that decided to randomly start making a multiplayer shooter.

[–] frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 22 points 2 years ago

Redfall was made by Arkane Austin, a different Arkane development team. Dishonored and Death Loop were made by Arkane Lyon, the same team doing Blade.

Now, you may be right that some of the devs behind Dishonored and Death Loop aren't there anymore, but it would be for other reasons and nothing to do with Redfall. So in that light, I'm still hopeful Blade will live up to the hype.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

The blade is a great weapon in Dishonored. I wouldn't be surprised if the blade in Blade were done correctly, as the developers had clearly studied the blade before.

Quick demos of how far along they’ve climbed out of the uncanny valley, meh, but when I saw Akrane Studios several yehs .

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Oh... the game.

[–] Gardienne@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please let this be a full ImSim!

[–] rambaroo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

0% chance with this kind of IP

[–] burnso@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Why? Considering how much design freedom Marvel allowed the devs with Midnight Suns I don’t see why it couldn’t be. What parts of the immersive sim genre do you think can’t be done in a mainstream game?

[–] burnso@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m not a big Marvel fan (and know next to nothing about Blade) but he was one of my favorites in Midnight Suns (which is awesome) so I’m definitely looking forward to this.

Don’t gotta be a marvel fan to enjoy the blade movies especially the OGs. The ‘98 film is a classic

[–] rubicon@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

And the soundtrack is just Confusion on loop

[–] XbSuper@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll get excited when it releases if it isn't full of mtx bullshit. So I'll probably never get excited.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mtx? Not familiar with that acronym.

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Microtransactions, if you're curious.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did he pay with Euros or that's some fantasy currency?

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's awesome! Thanks

[–] overkill0485@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Is this a different branch of Arkane, or is it the same branch as Redfalls team?

[–] Rose@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's Lyon, known for Dishonored. Even the game is set in France.
