Party Plane Jones posted:Corvo spends 6 months getting tortured in the prison after the assassination so your estimate is off. i was referring to the stuff after coldridge orcane posted:My point is that the issue is largely in the function of Batman vision, and that just adding a cost only makes it more obnoxious to use, it doesn't greatly change the fact that you want to use it as often as possible. the function of possession is that you can walk around and do most things you need to do to complete the game and it negates the stealth system basically entirely. but people don't abuse it and don't want to because it costs too much and makes you move slowly. in an ideal world you would use possession as often as possible, but people don't because of the cost. hell right between your two posts we have this gentleman: kikkelivelho posted:Yeah most people probably like the passive regen which is why I said it should be an optional toggle like the guard vertical vision cones. For me the lack of regen would immediately make resource management more important, suddenly even something as simple as blink has a real cost associated with it and you need to consider your movements and actions a lot more carefully. It also balances the powers without nerfing their actual effects. I was constantly capped at 10 mana vials in the original and never felt like my resources were limited which made the exploration feel a bit meaningless at times. I still searched every corner I found because the art and level design are best in class but I'd really like to have an actual gameplay reason for the exploration. your premise is completely wrong here so uh "no"? do you have a different way of presenting this?

Hitman™ has batman-vision but you walk slow when doing it and can't interact with anything. Like it's strictly for observation. It works well in that context since it's a powerful tool but it's impossible to actually play the game with it on all the time.

About Darkvision in Dishonored 2, the internet says:quote:Now when you activate Dark Vision, it sends out three pulses eight seconds apart. When you move the next pulse happens from your new location, and the spheres per pulse can overlap. Which seems about right.

It's probably to combat the "I have no thumbs" plague that games journalists/twitch streamers trying a game usually seem to have. You know the one where it says "Press A to block" on the screen while the journo who theoretically plays games for a living says things like "I CAN'T BLOCK WHAT IS GOING ON I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BLOCK"

I might actually use dark vision now that it looks less like the cheat-y wallhack button. I also just finished up the two DLCs, having bought them on release but ignoring them after. The corrupted bone charms with big bonuses but negative traits as well were a really cool idea, but they showed up way too late to be useful. Some more interesting negative effects are needed if they use them in D2 though, because "mana doesn't regen" is a really weak one and they used it for like 1/3 of them.

the corrupted bone charms were random just the same as other bone charms; for a stealth or speed run, the Zephyr charm was a huge boon if it was the first one you picked up, because ostensibly you weren't planning to take a whole lot of damage anyway. alternately, if you're gonna waltz through and stab anything that looks at you funny, Tank is amazing if you can manage to get it early on. this sort of randomization was the biggest thing people hated in terms of bone charms, though, so the crafting system we've talked about in Dishonored 2 will presumably make it easier to beeline to big things that you value highly. like strong arms comes immediately to mind as one of the things that you should just pray to whatever god you worship to get in Dishonored 1 if you're talking about doing a low chaos run.

as far as I know it was the first one to introduce it as a regular gameplay feature and with its full function of uses, item higlighting, objective, routes, etc. it was pretty inevitable with the increasing graphical complexity of games but I think it was the first actually, having now just looked it up there was apparently a tomb raider game that was developed concurrently but did it first, so yeah, while a bit of inevitability there with it being in two games at once it was definitely batman that popularized it of the two

Do we have any official news on system requirements yet? Random internet sites say a GF 570 as the Recommended, but that seems way low for a 2016 game.

It might be low, but I don't think it's impossible. The first game had some relatively low system requirements for it's time, if I remember right. It got a lot of mileage out of the "oil painting" art design.

I don't know if that was a joke, but practically every AAA game does those now. I don't think I get live action trailers. Seems like a dumb way to advertise a game.

Hope the system specs come out soon and are not too high. This year has been weird in that regard, Doom ran just fine on ultra as did Witcher 3 last year but Hitman and Just Cause 3 ran like poo poo even on medium (and too my eyes, didn't look much better than the ones that ran fine), really hoping this is the former rather than the latter, it's my most anticipated game of the year and I'd much rather get it on the PC than PS4.

Note: The GTX 1060 and RX 480 didn't even exist for most of the game's development, so if you don't meet the recommended GPU, you probably shouldn't worry about it.

Aren't those recommended GPUs effectively GTX980's and RX290X's, respectively?

Honestly if the game is well-optimized you could probably do just as well on as low as a GTX 960, if their recommendation is brand-new absolute top of the line poo poo. Of course, the 1060 is the low end of the 10-series, and we don't know how good the game's performance overall is yet, but you almost certainly don't need to go that high. I say this because the 1070 is what I have now, and the 960 I had before it was a real tanky guy. I had almost their recommended specs exactly (slightly newer CPU) and I could max out pretty much any game at 1080p.

Yup, those specs seem a bit more plausible than a 570, heh. I have an r9 285 so I guess I'm due a GPU upgrade. Oh well.

My only hope for Dishonored 2 is that its like D1 but longer. I'm in no rush to play it though so I'll just wait until after release to see how long it was from people who have beaten it, and possibly wait for it to go on sale. If its longer than D1 I'll probably pick it up at launch.

I just hope the PS4 version runs at a smooth 30. If they're advertising that the engine the game is using is based on idTech it better loving run well, dammit!

The engine is idTech5, basically what The New Order was running on. They've probably made some small updates but the performance should be comparable to TNO. Unless someone hosed up somewhere.

While Void is based on idTech 5 Mitton and other Arkane devs have stated that they've rewritten 70 to 80 percent of the engine so comparisons to idTech 5 probably aren't that useful.

Although I did re-play a couple levels. IMO some of that should have been included in the base game or released as a free patch. The DLC for Dishonored 1 really added a lot. Any word on post-release content for D2? Not that I'm in any hurry to pay extra.

Dishonored 1 takes vastly different amounts of time to play through depending on how much you care about stealth and explore the levels fully vs just murderbrawl your way through

I found it very re-playable as well, but definitely do agree that the dlc was a welcome addition to the length. IIRC it got some early flak for being short because someone blasted through it in a few hours right before release which I thought was incredibly stupid.
