Here are some awesome new Dishonored screenshots

Bethesda has released some new screenshots for their incoming steampunk FPS, Dishonored, and it looks pretty flippin’ awesome if you ask me. It’s being released in October for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and core to its gameplay will be completing assassination missions, which players may approach using a combination of stealth and action.

Apparently exploration will be a key component to the game, and doing so will unlock new paths and alternatives for accomplishing missions. It will also be possible to eliminate all your enemies in a non-lethal manner.

Players will be able to mix and match magical abilities to create new ones, and there will also be a selection of weapons and gadgets at your disposal. The gameplay sounds intriguing, but it’s the art direction that first caught my attention when I found out about Dishonored. Check out the screenshots past the break to find out why.

    This game is going to be a classic, I’m sure of it, just like the BioShock and Thief games it borrows from. One issue I must address though… why does NAG Online seem to insist on calling many non-shooter first-person games FPSes? Same thing with Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which you dubbed a ‘cyberpunk shootyfest’ much in the same way you call this a ‘steampunk FPS’. Very odd. There’s a significant difference between a shooter and a game with shooting elements.

      @cowman, just a little bit of FYI, if you really look closely you will realise that the art direction draws heavily from dues ex, half life and yes somewhat from bioshock. But on further inspection the realisation will hit you that the people behind this title worked on titles such as dues ex, thief and even half life, to name just a few of their accomplishments. Thus borrowing is a rather harsh word to use, as it almost make it seem that they have no ideas of their own. Now consider that these people either made the title (thief) that you mentioned or that bioshock in actual fact “borrowed” (I prefer was inspired by) from titles such as thief and dues ex.
      Disclaimer: Huge fan of dues ex, bioshock, half life, thief (although I was a very sucky assassin) series and totally stocked to play Dishonored
