Deathloop announced (Arkane Lyon, First-Person)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
I love Arkane, but this might end up being the first game from them that I won't purchase in a long while. Loved Dishonored 1 and 2, and enjoyed Prey and Death of the Outsider. Deathloop sounds like it will probably be multiplayer and go against what made me become a fan of the dev.
WOOTY
Not sure why anyone is convinced it's multiplayer.
This is so obviously Arkane taking a more ambitious shot at their dual protagonist gimmick by pitting the two against one another in story and gameplay.

This looks freaking great.
Of all the games shown at E3 so far this one and Elden Ring are the two I'm most excited for.
Both primarily due to LOVING the imagery in their respective trailers and the reputation of their developers.

I'll give you three different reasons to trust Arkane with a first person game with meticulously crafted levels, lots of player agency, and crazy flexible tools in open sandbox levels with minimal handholding and linearity:

Wish they would have shown some more, but I'm optimistic about whatever Arkane does. They've only ever made cool games so I don't see why they would stop now.
Is CGI a comeback trend or are they accustoming us to see such graphics so we won't get shocked when next-gen games will look as good as those CGIs? /s
i think they were recently hiring for MP experienced devs? reading the tea leaves seems like they've been focusing away from their standard immersive sim fare. but we'll see
I hope it's single player, I hope it's real-world and not got a lot of mystical stuff (the magic in Dishonored wasn't my thing), and I hope it's basically a riff on Branded to Kill cause it seems like it's about 50% there
I thought the same thing and I'm hoping this is what this game is. That'd be really neat.
Explore stunning environments and meticulously designed levels in an immersive gameplay experience that lets you approach every situation any way you like.
Nothing is ready to be shown off. It's the final year before next-gen.
If it happens to be single player, I wonder how they can incorporate the loop stuff to differentiate the gameplay loop from "failing and restarting" a typical game level.
I guess that at a basic level, the antagonist could use some sort of learning mechanism. If there are so many timed things going on in the world, your character has a larger interaction window if they have seen things happen multiple times, or they could possible set up Rube-Goldberg like chain reactions and traps.

It'll be neat to see how this plays out.
Honestly, given the emphasis on character motivation in the trailer, it seems like it might be single-player with two distinct campaigns, one for each character. Wouldn't surprise me to see a multiplayer mode, but I bet the game overall is single player.

Game looks really good. So far this, Doom and GhostWire Tokyo are the only good thing from Bethesda.
this whole idea of die and die again is great and all, but that's just basically any video game. (a rogue like is basically that more or less)
so
I hope they implement it well so its not... just whatever it is.

Game looks fantastic, love seeing the game director being black and the two main characters as well.
Diversity in game studios is what we need and is only further proved by how ghostwire is directed by a women and how great that looks

I think the innovation probably is a unique perspective in story telling, player death initiates a different protagonist and alters story, ending, and the way some levels play out.
The description of the trailer on YouTube offers more insight:

What if this is basically an Arkane singleplayer game with a random person controlling the other assassin? Using their idea from The Crossing.
The trailer looks great and clues you more into the gameplay than you realize and team's resume.
Fuck yeah.I'll give you three different reasons to trust Arkane with a first person game with meticulously crafted levels, lots of player agency, and crazy flexible tools in open sandbox levels with minimal handholding and linearity:
