I decided to make a new topic to direct everyone's attention and so we can all share our opinions of the recent E3 demo.
For those of you who miseed it here is the link (provided by ResonanceCascade, many thanks friend): http://www.g4tv.com/videos/58810/dishonored-e3-gameplay-demo/
So here are my impressions. The HUD looks great. It doesn't get in the way and it gives clear and precise feedback. The Mana and Health bars might put some people off but I like them because I feel they are a stylized part of the world itself.
The spyglass is indeed a part of the mask, prooving my speculations right.
Combining powers drains mana quickly but you can recover it and it leads to a lot of interesting combos. I want to clarify something so people don't get confused. ONLY A SMALL PART OF YOUR MANA RECHARGES. That is to make sure that you blink availabe in order to escape.
The wheel works very fuildly and does not breat immersion or the pacing of the gameplay. You can select powers, gadgets, amunition and so on.
You have a lot of options to interact with everything in the game. Like that a lot! Excuse me...I LOVE IT!
I will continue to update post with tomorrow's and Wednesday's demo coverage and info we get about the game. TotalBiscuit messaged me that he will try to get some footage because he has a Media Badge.
