Dishonored Interview

[Jul 19, 2012, 09:59 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

An interview on Eurogamer chats with Viktor "Victor" Antonov of Zenimax about Dishonored, Arkane's upcoming action/stealth game. He talks about the state of writing in games in general, saying: "It's been a poor, poor five years for fiction in the video game industry." He also decries a lack of variety in the industry: "There have been too many sequels, and too many established IPs that have been ruling the market. And a lot of them are war games. And they're great projects and great entertainment, but there's a lack of variety today," he tells them. "So, when you step out of this established genre, people cannot grasp it, or the press tries to find a match." He seems to suggest the solution to this lack of variety in games would be more "historical [sic] realistic" games like theirs: "And too bad there are not; I was expecting there to be 20 games like this."

Seems pretty legit to me. I lament the current state of gaming and all the same-y games out there all the time.

I do too fairly often. I just for some reason always considered it poor form when a dev does so when being asked about the game they are making. You don't hear musicians hype their upcoming album by trashing what's out there now or the current state of music. But you are right, he wasn't really being 'douchey' about it.
