Harvey Smith, one of the main minds behind the first two Deus Ex games and a legendary veteran of game development, shares the vision and is on board as Dishonored's co-creative director along with Colantonio. Viktor Antonov designed Half-Life 2's iconic City 17 and is lending his talents to Dishonored's world. This is a perfect storm for creating a game that shatters the mold that first-person action games have built for themselves in the mainstream.

Speaking of dream teams, anyone remember the name of that RPG they were making with Todd Howard and the guy who drew Spawn? That shit looked fantastic and I can't remember what it's called for the life of me...

It's not so much that I have a hard on for dream teams, it was more because that the game was set to be the bastard child of God of War and Oblivion, and it's gonna have some of Todd MacFarlane's dark artwork. I found out that it's called Kingdoms of Alamur: Reckoning, if anyone cares.

Also, please drop the Expendables comment guys, we already have one thread of people ripping Tampa a new asshole.
