Harvey Smith is the Creator/Director of both Dishonred games and Prey.
Harvey Smith
Dinga was credited as a designer on Dishonored 2.
He was Director of some of the Wolfenstien games.
Obviously both studios work collaboratively.
But again. The Creator and Director of the Dishonored series is not working on Deathloop. By his own words he’s working with the Dishonred and Prey team on Redfall.
And again………

Can't wait for BladefallThese nikkas actually argued with me for two pages about that too
That art style would make sense for a steampunk game or some shyt. Not something like Blade. shyt need to look like DMC 5 or something. Im interested nonetheless though

The artstyle is fine. No need for it to look 'realistic' which usually looks uncanny Valley or off key.
I loved the character work on Deathloop. This looks like an even more refined version of that.

Logan was the only comic book movie equal to the dark knight in the fans eyes.
You're thinking I terms of movies, but Wolverine is definitely a top 5 most popular comic book character.
Logan (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes
In the near future, a weary Logan (Hugh Jackman) cares for an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart) at a remote outpost on the Mexican border. His plan to hide from the outside world gets upended when he meets a young mutant (Dafne Keen) who is very much like him. Logan must now protect the girl...www.rottentomatoes.com
You both make valid points but, yea, there is a difference between critical acclaim/fanboy noise/etc, and popularity.
X-men are super popular in their habitat. But the elephant in the room for the x-men since the 90s is that theyve been suffering from big fish in a small pond syndrome.
i.e., Logan is seen as Dark Knight level, but ultimately:
- Dark Knight Rises (3rd film in the series) did 1.1 billion. DK did 1 billion
- Ironman 3 did 1.2 billion
- Sam Raimi Spider-Man 3 did 895 million
- Logan (3rd film in the series) did 620 million. The prior Wolverine movie did 400m total.
Even games like the 1993 X-Men game, as legendary as it is perceived, was the 16th highest selling Sega Genesis game. Not bad but not mind blowing. X-Men Legends sold well across PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube, but was just the 74th highest selling game for that era. Again, not bad but not mind blowing.
Now all that may change for this generation with the Insomniac and inevitable Disney stimulus (tho they’ve been mid lately) but time will tell.
Seems there’s some significant amount of work already done on the game. It’s not as early on as first implied

Logan was rated R, it's not fair to compare it to the Disney family movies. It's the highest earning R rated film ever.
You can't judge popularity off movie earnings alone, Xmen has gotten mostly bad movies that the fans hate, which reflect in the earnings. Both amazing spiderman movies under performed, mainly because they weren't good movies, and spiderman is the most popular marvel character.
Tbf, I can compare it to Deadpool 1 & 2, both r-rated and both easily outperformed Logan to become the highest earning r-rated films despite being a lesser known character. And then Joker, also r-rated, which grossed 1 billion. None of the aformeentioned being Disney family films.
The ASM movies underperformed relatively yes... but both still did higher than any Wolverine movie or any pg-13 x-men movie iirc. I'd also disagree slightly and say while X-Men had mostly bad movies at the tail end of their cinematic run, in real-time they had several well received films early on, undeniably. No matter what movies it's compared to or excuses we come up with, Wolverine was simply received as an ok/solid IP by the masses. Which is still good, but obvously not in the Batman/Spider-Man tier, and definitely debatable with the Ironmans, Caps, BPs, etc when it comes to modern day youth (and not the granddads who were teens in the 80s)
I do agree with you 100% that you can't judge popularity just off of move earnings, but for how long have ppl projected the x-men's mainstream popularity based off a 92 cartoon show and some 2 dollar comic book sales from an isolated neckbeard industry? Maybe it'll translate with Insomniac, given their track record, but i think it'll be just as much bc it is Insomniac, with all the bells whistles and budget they'll put into it.
Spiderman and wolverine are
#1 and 2 when it comes to superhero popularity out of the marvel camp.
Spiderman is top 3 worldwide, wolverine might be top 5 worldwide
Edit imo
1 superman
2 Spiderman
3 Batman
4 wolverine
5 hulk

superman is the most iconic but as far as sales power goes its not in the top 5 anymore
This was the game of the show for me, and they didn't have show much because I feel Arkane Lyon is a studio that can deliver. I think my only worry will be combat because the way I envision a blade game would play similar to DMC, but I am intrigued to see what Lyon does with combat. It does suck that this is most likely far out, but its on my radar.
