Podcasts about Dishonored

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. We cover lots of topics, delving into stealth and AI systems, objectives and their communication, and other thoughts. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Another mission Issues covered: whether it was designed for a controller, graphic fidelity holding up, the fixed function shading pipeline, the crossover between audio and visual meters, what's going on with the light meter, ambient noise affecting how quickly you can move, adjusting eyesight, layering mechanics into a mini-game, sprinklers everywhere, hose extraction, trip lasers, using a body as a laser avoider, a key that isn't a key, interrogation mechanics, consequences for not interrogating, multiple paths to information, forgetting the vision modes, the marketing targets for particular consoles, dynamic mission objectives, motivating spaces through pattern language, having to mark up the world to tell you what's important, a digression into climbing anywhere, "what map?," not wasting space, clockwork levels, a globetrotting set of ops vs single-location games, Brett has a good point, contrasting flavors, just jumping in and having the briefings paper over travel, the attract mode, benefitting pacing. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: XBOX, Pulp Fiction (obliquely), PlayStation 3, Clint Hocking, NOLF 2, Max Payne, Metal Gear (series), Three Men and a Baby, Poltergeist, Eternal Darkness, Mission: Impossible (series), Entrapment, Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dishonored, Prey, Hitman, Die Hard, Assassin's Creed, Crazy Climber, Cairn, Jusant, Hideo Kojima, Reacher (series), The Gray Man (series), The Hunt for Red October, Quiller (series), Shadowlord-72, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia. Next time: More TCSCCT! Errata: Apparently there were in fact multiple shader units on the original Xbox, and supported Pixel/Vertex 1.1 shaders. We regret the error. (Fixed function was still a thing, though, I'm just not remembering the details correctly.) Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com 

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we start a new series on 2005's Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. We set it in its time, talk about the Clancy of it all, and then get into the play and presentation. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: The first level or two Issues covered: missing a week, games from 2005 and UbiSoft, stealth games and how we feel about them, what it borrows from its forebears, Tim's history and love of military themes, grounding the series in real places, hard milspec, the spectrum of more or less video-gamey, Brett's history with Clancy, offputting tone and writing, the weird nationalistic lens, the military melodrama, when you can mess up the formula, black and white and the icks, systems thinking in the game vs not the narrative, finding ways to maintain the black and white, the tutorial videos, seeing the mechanics against the real missions, controlling Sam's movement speed, other interface choices, alt-fire modes, shooting everyone in the head, having multiple kill moves, having mission objectives that get canceled, whether there's an alternate version, a number associated with your performance, the weirdness of speaking to your handler directly behind a target, your advisors, informing the choice of loadout, how different games reinforce the loadout, a review, Tim's Twitch drop. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Star Wars (series), God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, Resident Evil 4, Psychonauts, Guild Wars, Civ IV, FEAR, The Undying, AC: Wild World, Guitar Hero, Mercenaries, Battlefront II, KotOR II, Lego Star Wars, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Peter Molyneux, Clint Hocking, Far Cry 2, Thief, Metal Gear Solid (series), Looking Glass, Dishonored (series), Hideo Kojima, The Division (series), Rainbow Six (novel), No One Lives Forever, Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Sean Connery, Doubleday (book publisher), Day of the Jackal, Tolkien, Project: Hail Mary, Ghost Recon (series), Rainbow Six (series), John Krasinski, Ben Affleck, Jack Reacher (series), Lee Child, Tom Cruise, Mark Greaney, The Gray Man, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rambo (series), Jon Bernthal, Call of Duty (series), Hitman (series), Shadowlord-72, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: more TC's SC:CT! Errata: It was The Cardinal of the Kremlin. We regret the error.  Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com 

Tonight we learned three important things about crime. First, every heist starts with confidence and ends with someone on fire. Second, the moon is falling out of the sky and nobody has time to care because rent is still due. Third, if Randall says this plan only has minor consequences, we are absolutely about to get stabbed in an alley by ghost cops. Welcome to the cheerful industrial nightmare of Blades in the Dark, where the weather is bad, the economy is worse, and somehow the rats are still thriving. Show Notes We finally cracked open Blades in the Dark and immediately discovered that this game runs on stress, bad decisions, and industrialized demon blood. The crew dug into the grimy streets of Doskvol, a city powered by leviathan hunting, haunted by ghosts, and permanently stuck in the kind of rainy darkness that makes everybody look guilty. We spent a lot of time unpacking the setting because the world is tightly welded to the mechanics. You cannot separate the lore from the gameplay here, and honestly that is part of the charm. Along the way we compared the game to Dishonored, argued about whether setting guards on fire counts as a valid social skill, and accidentally pitched the greatest campaign never written about demon whale hunters sailing into the void. There was also an extended detour into whether the moon should even be visible if the sun exploded, which is exactly the kind of deeply useful conversation every RPG group eventually has. Mechanically, the game impressed us with how elegant and dangerous everything feels. Every roll is a gamble where success often comes stapled to consequences. We talked through position, effect, stress, trauma, resistance rolls, and the infamous clocks system that slowly turns every bad decision into a future catastrophe. The whole structure feels built to keep heists moving fast while constantly ratcheting up tension. What really sold us was how much the game trusts the table. Instead of stopping every five minutes to debate rules interactions, Blades in the Dark asks players to lean into the fiction, make reckless choices, and deal with the fallout later. It is a game about desperate criminals trying to survive in a collapsing world, and somehow that still sounds more stable than most adventuring parties.

Na omówienie „Dishonored 2” trzeba było czekać długie jedenaście lat od podcastu o „jedynce”, ale na szczęście z domknięciem trylogii poszło sprawniej. Tym samym w wirutalnym studio spotkali się ponownie Misty z Mistycyzmu Popkulturowego oraz Jerry, aby podyskutować o „Dishonored. Death of the Outsider”. Jakie były losy tej gry na etapie jej powstawania? Jak wypada Billie Lurk jako protagonistka? Na jakie zmiany w mechanikach rozgrywkowych zdecydowali się twórcy? Na ile domknięcie historii Outsidera, Dauda i Billie sprawdza się na poziomie fabularnym? I w końcu, czy warto sięgnąć po ten tytuł w 2026 roku? O tym wszystkim i paru innych kwestiach posłuchacie w dzisiejszym podcaście.

Följ med Fredrik och Poki på GOTY-resan, där vi återvänder till klassiska – men fortfarande moderna – spelår och ser hur väl titlarna står sig i dag. Har tiden gett dem en ny innebörd, eller cementerat deras legendariska status?Den här gången är det 2012 som står i fokus. Dags att utse årets bästa spel – retroaktivt.Upplägget är som vanligt:Vi börjar med att lyfta årets bubblare, fortsätter med våra personliga topp 10-listor och avslutar med det tuffaste momentet av alla – att enas om en gemensam topp 5. En lista av spel som ska stå emot all kritik och förbli ohotade över tid.Och högst upp?Ett spel som för oss definierar året. 2012 års Game of the Year.

Hay muchas injusticias que las personas pueden experimentar en su vida, pero pocas se comparan con tener que escribir este RSS de mierda mientras podría estar jugando al Slay the Spire, encima para que nadie lo lea, me cago en todo, la puta madre. Bueno, a ver, Gus quedó bastante contento con el Dishonored 2 y te cuenta de sus primeras impresiones del Early Access del Slay the Spire 2, mientras que Edu sigue avanzando con el Dragon Quest, terminó el Earth Must Die y comenta sobre el Pokemon Pokopia del Stardew Valley. Uf, bueno, bien, ya está la primera parte, ahora las noticias: solo dos personas pudieron aprobar el examen de Woe Industries, se confirmó el remaster del Assassins Creed Black Flag, Microsoft revela el proyecto Helix 360, Steam sigue prometiendo que sus productos anunciados saldrán este año y cerramos con la próxima temporada de Diablo 4: Saltando tiburones con el Butcher. Bien, casi estamos, falta solo decir que la Pregunta Fandango nos llama a ponernos en el lugar de los villanos más icónicos. Genial, listo, ahora solo tengo que borrar estos comentarios míos, berificar que no aya errores de ortograffía y no olvidarme de

Dan and Shea are back and more exhausted than ever before!

¿Te aburre tu carrera? ¿Pensás que en esa clase de Sociología no vas a aprender nada útil? En Café Fandango tenemos la solución: simplemente salí a comprar puchos y mudate a una nueva realidad, ahí seguro vas a tener otra profesión. Además de multiversos, en el episodio 597 de Café Fandango vas a escuchar a Edu que sigue con el Dragon Quest, arrancó y terminó el Try Again y estuvo jugando a entender los bugs del nuevo Football Manager. Gus por su lado sigue bastante contento con el Dishonored 2. Después, te contamos sobre la fecha de lanzamiento del juego de Wolverine, de los anuncios del Overwatch Rush, del próximo Guitar Hero y de la próxima generación de pokemón y cerramos con un nuevo parche para el Stardew Valley que habilita nuevos pretendientes. Finalmente, con la Pregunta Fandango nos quejamos de todas las veces en las que los juegos le pusieron un límite a nuestra imaginación.

Vivimos una pesadilla de una España algo diferente a lo que pensamos de ella, una Hispania llena de maldiciones, folclores retorcidos y una isla, la Tormentosa, tan hermosa como malévola… Crisol: Theater of Idols, del estudio madrileño Vermila (publicado por Blumhouse Games), ha sorprendido en su lanzamiento en Steam con una apuesta arriesgada y muy personal aunque llena de referentes muy reconocibles y otros no tanto. Bioshock, Dishonored, Resident Evil o incluso Dead Space o Bloodborne, asoman en la memoria del jugador que en una historia de sectas, cultos fatales y mucha sangre, visita lugares, iconografías y cultura de una España barroca, gótica, o incluso de los 80, en una mezcla muy personal y hecha por unos verdaderos apasionados de los videojuegos y el arte de contar historias.Subimos a la Nabucodonosor a David Tornero, ideólogo y director creativo del juego y David Carrasco, CEO de Vermila Studios.Con Don Víctor y Duque de Champagne nos asomamos a los cómics más barrocos y referencias a clásicos españoles.Escuchar audio

Dicen que los economistas caracterizan a la economía argentina como un fenómeno único e irrepetible, pero en Café Fandango venimos a demostrar que tenemos un alma gemela que nos acompaña en nuestros bajibajos: Xbox. Además de hipótesis dignas de un Premio FIFA de economía, en el episodio 596 del podcast lo tenés a Edu que te cuenta que sigue buscando la historia en el Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, de su regreso al Spiritfarer y de la búsqueda del significado (literal) del título del Wagotabi. Por otro lado, Gus terminó el Miles Morales y arranca el Dishonored 2. Finalmente, Seba vuelve con todo y te cuenta del gameplay oculto del Rappi Simulator, del Resident Evil VIII, un poco del Expedition 33 y no sería Seba si no menciona al Avowed, no? Luego pasamos a las noticias donde el Sons of Sparta tiene un Coop inexplicable, Playstation cierra un estudio, Phil Spencer se cierra a sí mismo, Slay the Spire 2 publica la fecha de lanzamiento del Early Access, Nintendo venderá el Pokemon FireRed y LeafGreen a 20 USD y Kamiya tiene unos comentarios muy amables para gente que está lekeando el Resident Evil MeChupaUnHuevoTuNumeroRomanoIX. Cerramos con la Pregunta Fandango nos ponemos conjurar las peores maldiciones que se nos puedan ocurrir.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Ultima IV. We talk about the boat, we talk about dungeons (a tiny bit), we deep dive into NPCs and consequences, we talk about the quests and how everything is in the world, and answer some listener email. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: More of Ultima IV (Much more, in B's case) Issues covered: revisiting locations and finding new things, a game that does a lot with a little, everything existing in the world, getting to know the world, NPCs sharing sprites and being hard to remember, getting a ship and fighting your way on, broadside combat, dying to a waterspout, wanting to search the oceans, badly simulating tacking, riding a horse, being interrupted in any location, trying to replicate the tabletop experience, feeling like a "yes" game, whether what you do matters, can you be a thief, watering down a morality system, having a limited palette of options at any one time, layering frosting, taking out the friction and icky feeling, the niche audience of some RPGs, taking elements from older games and bringing them into modern games, asking questions of the player who is also the character, avoiding the uncanny valley, an aside into adventure mode, the horseshoe effect on NPCs, reaching the limits of what the human brain can contemplate, an aside into Dunbar's number, facing the same challenges, chunking chapters, feeling the anxiety of there being too much, coalescing your notes from time to time, the telescope moment and seeing the map, the lack of loot, preparing to do things, validating your assumptions, having to revisit everywhere, the friction of Pikmin, getting good controllers, handheld mode, the Wavebird, bouncing off character creation, character creation we've liked, wanting a story to wrap around a more specific character, the generic hero, having fun with a character creator, a freeing character creator. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Final Fantasy (series), Gold Box (series), Eye of the Beholder, Outer Wilds, The Witcher (series), Beowulf, Dungeons & Dragons, Wizardry (series), BioWare, Mass Effect, BioShock, Dishonored, CD Project Red, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate III, Thief, Robin Hood, VtM Bloodlines, Undertale, Dark Souls, Land of the Lost, Dwarf Fortress, Planescape: Torment, Metroid / Castlevania, Richard Garriott, Sasha, Pikmin, Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, Switch, PlayStation, Analog Pocket, Ashton Herrmann, Monkey Island, Wing Commander, Morrowind, Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, Bethesda Game Studios, Blizzard, World of Warcraft, Diablo (series), Metal Gear Solid V, Hideo Kojima, Saint's Row IV, Call of Cthulhu, Asher, Cuphead, KyleAndError, Hitman, FFSZilla, MGS: VR Missions, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Note: Because Ultima IV has very little music to speak of, I will be substituting music from later in the series in the openings to these episodes TTDS: 38:30 Links: Majuular Ultima IV video recommended by Chris  Next time: Finish Ultima IV Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord  DevGameClub@gmail.com

Extra Extra! Listen hear all about it! This week Janet, John, (and Pen) dive into the life of the zeitgeist of zeitgeists, the legendary, revolutionary, groundbreaking, funny force of nature who sang like a blue angel, our logo….Marlene Dietrich! Born on December 27, 1901 at Leberstraße 65 in the neighborhood of Rote Insel in Schöneberg, now a district of Berlin, Dietrich became one of the most iconic figures in the entertainment industry, known for her distinctive voice, smoldering sex appeal, glamorous style, and androgynous allure. Originally planning to become a classical violnist, an injury turned our starlet to theater. After a failed audition for Max Reinhardt, Dietrich got her start as a chorus girl in his theaters, but never seemed to get her big break on the stage. She moved her career towards film, acting in So sind die Männer (1923) and The Tragedy of Love (1923), while still maintaining a career on the stage and in cabaret— embodying the "New Women" lifestyle. By 1930, She got her big break in the film Der Blaue Engel (The Blue Angel) after film director, Josef Von Sternberg saw her performance in Zwei Krawatten (Two Ties). She would go on to act in Morocco (1930), Dishonored (1931), Blonde Venus (1932), The Scarlet Empress (1934), The Devil Is a Woman (1935), A Foreign Affair (1948), Stage Fright (1950), Witness for the Prosecution (1957), Touch of Evil (1958), and Judgment at Nuremberg (1961). She was also nominated for a best actress cast in 1932 for  Morocco, Golden Globe and a Laurel Award in 1958 for WItness for the Prosecution.  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

Harvey Smith is a game designer and writer whose work has helped shape some of the most atmospheric and influential games of the last two decades. After serving in the U.S. Air Force he began his career in video games as a tester on the formative System Shock.

In 2008 he became a partner at Arkane Studios, where he co-directed the acclaimed Dishonored series and, most recently, Redfall.

This week, we are approaching the final section of Peter's letter, where he addresses how Christians are to live in a hostile world. Peter's focus is on enduring suffering for righteousness' sake while keeping our hope fixed on the eternal glory God has prepared for us. He reminds us that everything we do - our words, actions, and service - should glorify God, pointing others to His greatness and character. Living for God naturally draws opposition, and Peter warns that trials and ridicule are part of the Christian journey, designed not to harm us but to refine and strengthen our faith, much like gold being purified in fire. Peter gives practical encouragement for facing these trials. Believers are to rejoice in sharing Christ's sufferings, understanding that what appears as shame or loss in the world is actually a sign of belonging to Him. He reminds us of the example of the early apostles, who were whipped, insulted, and even died for preaching the gospel, yet rejoiced because they were counted worthy to suffer for Christ's name. I think of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, whose courage, prayer, and vision of Jesus standing at God's right hand demonstrate how God's Spirit, the Spirit of glory, gives strength, sustains His people, and confirms their ultimate vindication, even in the darkest moments. Finally, Peter clarifies that suffering for Christ is blessed, but suffering for sin or misdeeds carries no honor. He urges believers to embrace the name “Christian” with Godly pride, recognizing that it signifies being part of a diverse and unified body of Christ. He explains that God's judgment begins with His people to purify and prepare them, and that enduring trials faithfully point to the greater accountability of the world. Our response, then, is to entrust ourselves to the faithful Creator, who is sovereign over all life and circumstances, and to continue doing good, confident that God is at work for His glory.
