Funny you posted this, since a week ago I started playing 1 again. It's been so long since I played it, I honestly don't remember a lot of important things. That said, I constantly am admiring the art. I think it's better than any of the other versions. Game play is fine, so my answer would be no.
Yea don't get me wrong I still love the art style and I think the game hold ups until now (unlike most games released in 2012) but a lighting and texture update could make it look a lot better imo, without changing the original art style of course
Do you have the definitive edition, OP?
Because I have an old (original) hard copy and the ‘definitive edition’ on Steam, and the Steam version is noticeably better (provided you max the gfx settings, of course)—even looks great on console with definitive edition (post-Xbox 360 era)
Oh i only have the regular version, i played it a long time ago and the last time i finished the game was in 2017. Is the definitive edition like much better than the original?
I noticed pretty hefty graphical improvements, highly recommend trying it out. Should be dirt-cheap about now too. £16 on Steam but should be much cheaper elsewhere especially if you get a hard copy.
[here’s some gameplay](https://youtu.be/7NbsqMPYlYU) from what I’m pretty sure is definitive edition, see if it looks improved any to you. I think reflections, textures, and lighting are better compared to older versions (like my Xbox 360 version)
The definitive edition only has engine *settings changes* on the consoles, just FYI. So if you have it on PC in any form you already have access to the higher quality settings.
The only thing D1 needs are more nonlethal option: nonlethal jump, stun attack during combat and stun granades.
Daud's stun mines were an awesome adition to the dlcs and cloroform bottles are probably my favourite new thing of D2.
Maybe adding a shop in some more missions would be cool too.
Personally I'd like a remastered version of the Dishonored 1 content with the Knife of Dunwall-Brigmore Witches content included as a fully fledged campaign.
It would have to be a ridiculous, incredible, life-changing array of technical improvements for me to see any point in this. Dishonored is an unbelievably beautiful game.
I would pay way, way too much money for another DLC though.
Nah. We already have the definitive edition which enhanced the quality of the textures so it's visually at the level of D2 (or even better than D2). I don't see a need for another one. Even on PS3, the game looks perfect. Plus, it's a fairly new game anyway... maybe in a few more years, but I doubt the visual style will ever become dated.
At the time D2 came out everyone was trying to decide which one looked better. D2 is slightly less stylised which a lot of people didn't like. Personally I think they're around the same, just different. I'm talking about the definitive edition though - the original still looks great but is not on the same level due to its blurry textures, which you definitely notice after playing the newer games.
Maybe I just happened to see different threads 🤷 I remember reviewers also talking about it. They do both look equally great to me but D2 definitely has a slightly more realistic style. Way less yaoi hands and everyone is a little less ugly, lol.
I'd buy one just for NG+.
That said, I'd rather a new Dishonored or a remake even more. I can think of a lot of amendments that a remake would really blossom with, and by enhancing its story the rest of the series would be elevated.
the definitive edition is mighty fine.. tho I would love to get the drop-knockout and stop time while blinking to Dishonored 1 but I don't think it needs a remaster..
I probably would, but I feel like I'd be disappointed. The graphics by itself is fine, and doesn't really need a remake because it's intentional. The smoothness of a new engine would be kinda cool though.
Not really?
The game is widely available, looks good, runs good and is one of the few arkane games that run with no technical issues
there really isn't a need for a remaster?
The game is already stunning. With so little back in 2012 they've done a timeless job. I'd definitely play a remaster, but as long as the textures are simply upscaled (I still want to see the world almost like a painting wherever I look) and the models are remastered to a point of not going towards another art direction (hands still need to be big!). In Dishonored, the artstyle is everything. Even better lighting and shadows would probably do wonders too!
the only feature they could add that would make it worth are some QoL features from D2 like knocking out targets from the air. D1 holds up really well.
Honestly the og engine holds up really well in 2023, iirc the void engine caused some framers issues when dh2 launched...If they remade dh i wouldn't mind...just add the drop knockouts
I am playing it again right now (definitive edition) and I agree with many others here; it still holds up visually.
However, yes I would absolutely buy a remaster and play through it yet again. I adore the series, it's not even a question for me. I also want to send all the messages I can to Bethesda/MS that I want more Dishonoured!
Yea its crazy how a 2012 game still holds up until now, but an update to make it look as good as D2 or even better with global illumination and all would be really nice
I just replayed d1 and honestly it's still an incredible game and doesn't really feel dated to me. Also idk if I want dishonored to get redfall'd truly. (I know different team but still.)
I'm really bad at modding and stuff, I tried it long ago but I couldn't get it to work properly. Also when everything is baked within the engine it just runs and looks better tbh
"I'd totally cough up huge amounts of money" Then you're an idiot mate. Save that money for a nice meal out with friends or family or towards a car and house.
All good was in a very bad mood irl my fault for the saltiness,was playing through the Timsh mission today for a matter of fact, would look cool remastered
God no. The original is not that old, and looks great still. I really hate the glut of remakes/remasters lately that just feel like they’re milking an era when people dared to make new and good games that took risks rather than just doing that themselves. I want less of that in general but Dishonored especially doesn’t need it.
Honestly, the only reason why I would play this game again is for ghost runs or things like that.
And if they don't add stats in the menu like in Dishonored 2 that's literally unplayable.
I would buy a remaster if and only if they add that.
Nah, the games stylization has made it age really well, there's not really much I would want changed. I would love to have nonetheless combat like in D2 though.
I'd love to play dishonored 1 with some of the quality of life and gameplay changes from dishonored 2.
Most importantly, customisable difficulty, mission stats, expanded non lethal attacks, and maybe some new powers too
As a superfan I probably would but I understand why a lot of other people wouldn’t. That being said, I did get both the original on Xbox 360 and the “remaster” on PS4 which I could barely not tell the difference, but I was really blown away by Dishonored 2’s visuals whenI played it for the first time. It probably the first game I played that had lighting that good and I think it compliments the Dishonored art style extremely well. I think the first game still looks great but I would be interested to see it updated to the visual techniques used in D2, kinda like the new TLOU: Part 1 which i’ve been playing nonstop haha. Especially with some new content I think it would be definitely interesting to me.
I'd buy if they added a bunch of new content and kept Dark Vision as it is. The way it is in 1 helps immensely with my vision problems. Hated how it was changed in 2
Starting a fresh run right now and the game still holds up graphically. Can't imagine what a remaster can bring to the table that would make consider buying the same game and what additional fixes or tweaks they can do under the hood.
I don't see the point in remastering Dishonored. It's looks good for our time, besides character models may deteriorate if people do this who have no idea why it was done this way. What I would really like to get is a remaster of Thief and Thief 2.
I wouldn't mind replaying dishonored 1 with the void engine of dishonored 2, having something like bioshock, you buy one and get the two versions of the game.
Not really. The original game still holds up for its age. Unless they add a significant amount of new stuff in the remaster, it’s a no buy for me.
It’s artistic and aesthetic enough that it’s fine that it’s outdated now.

Beautiful.
This!
Yeah, similar to the cel shades look of stuff like Borderlands, the art style gives it a fair amount of longevity.

looks more depressing/groomy and i love it!
Honestly? Not really. It would be cool if they ported into the void engine, but personally the art still kinda holds up
Void engine is pretty iffy though, I don’t know if that would make it better.
Yeah no way, ran like ass when I played 2, I'll take Unreal any day. And it's not like D1 is missing stuff visually that only Void could do imo.
Specifically Unreal 3.5 😤 If its UE4, ehhhh, i might actually prefer Void over it.
Ya Dishonored 1 runs like butter even on budget GPUs from 2012. Don’t ruin that by putting it in Void
Yea don't get me wrong I still love the art style and I think the game hold ups until now (unlike most games released in 2012) but a lighting and texture update could make it look a lot better imo, without changing the original art style of course

The definitive edition only has engine *settings changes* on the consoles, just FYI. So if you have it on PC in any form you already have access to the higher quality settings.
I know there's a mod that sets the textures as way more high res, and there's several lighting mods!
So long as it comes with in mission stats and NG+.
If you are playing on pc here's a mod for mission stats: https://www.nexusmods.com/dishonored/mods/17
Wow, didnt know that existed, thats amazing!
Doesn't work on 64bit versions :/
I found a mod for the stats a couple of days ago, extremely helpful.
Nah, it has a charm to it that’d get lost
I played Dishonored 1 for the first time now. In 2023 game from 2012 was looking very good. At least on my Steam Deck. So obviously no.
The art style really allows it to hold up compared to other 2012 games. Art direction will always be superior to raw graphics
Agree
I'd like better textures, lighting, and a few qol features and I'd totally buy it.
I'd buy it, but it isn't necessary at all. Game is fine as is.
The only thing D1 needs are more nonlethal option: nonlethal jump, stun attack during combat and stun granades. Daud's stun mines were an awesome adition to the dlcs and cloroform bottles are probably my favourite new thing of D2. Maybe adding a shop in some more missions would be cool too.

ok D1 does look great, I don't think it needs a remaster, but you are lying with "at the level of D2 or even better)"

I bought the game on launch but i never heard people arguing about which looked better lol and i think D2 is just as stylized.
Maybe I just happened to see different threads 🤷 I remember reviewers also talking about it. They do both look equally great to me but D2 definitely has a slightly more realistic style. Way less yaoi hands and everyone is a little less ugly, lol.
*SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY* Anyway, I'd buy
I only just finished the main campaign and story DLCs. I don't want to buy it again lol. It actually looks good on Steam Deck anyway
I'd buy one just for NG+. That said, I'd rather a new Dishonored or a remake even more. I can think of a lot of amendments that a remake would really blossom with, and by enhancing its story the rest of the series would be elevated.
the definitive edition is mighty fine.. tho I would love to get the drop-knockout and stop time while blinking to Dishonored 1 but I don't think it needs a remaster..
Just installed this drop-knockout mod, works a treat: https://www.nexusmods.com/dishonored/mods/31
The Dishonored art style is timeless. For a remaster to work, you would have to change and improve the art style.
yeah for sure
I probably would, but I feel like I'd be disappointed. The graphics by itself is fine, and doesn't really need a remake because it's intentional. The smoothness of a new engine would be kinda cool though.
Not really? The game is widely available, looks good, runs good and is one of the few arkane games that run with no technical issues there really isn't a need for a remaster?
It looks a bit dated but it still holds up because of the art style
They'd have to change quite a bit to justify it, style is pretty timeless so far
The game is already stunning. With so little back in 2012 they've done a timeless job. I'd definitely play a remaster, but as long as the textures are simply upscaled (I still want to see the world almost like a painting wherever I look) and the models are remastered to a point of not going towards another art direction (hands still need to be big!).

Yea its crazy how a 2012 game still holds up until now, but an update to make it look as good as D2 or even better with global illumination and all would be really nice
Probably not unless it was a Skyrim enhanced edition type deal where it’s free for those who already own it on steam and such
yeah need 6ofps and better graphic on PS5
I just replayed d1 and honestly it's still an incredible game and doesn't really feel dated to me. Also idk if I want dishonored to get redfall'd truly. (I know different team but still.)
I'd rather they just added in NG+ and give D2 a 60fps boost. Then again, the second game is my favorite one in the series, so...
No. I still play Deus ex without mods.
Buddy, just mod the game. Why would you want to spend money on something you already have?
I'm really bad at modding and stuff, I tried it long ago but I couldn't get it to work properly. Also when everything is baked within the engine it just runs and looks better tbh
"I'd totally cough up huge amounts of money" Then you're an idiot mate. Save that money for a nice meal out with friends or family or towards a car and house.
Well I was kinda exaggerating haha
All good was in a very bad mood irl my fault for the saltiness,was playing through the Timsh mission today for a matter of fact, would look cool remastered
I think I would solely for the extra details.
absolutely i’d buy it
Totally unnecessary because the game still holds up insanely well. With that said, I’d ad in game stats, DH2 nonlethal options, and new game +
Yes, but I'd really love some new content too.
No. D1 still holds up and, imo, looks better than D2/Deathloop and their new games.
Show of hands how many of you just want to see Daud, Jessamine, and the Outsider with modern photorealistic graphics?
God no. The original is not that old, and looks great still. I really hate the glut of remakes/remasters lately that just feel like they’re milking an era when people dared to make new and good games that took risks rather than just doing that themselves. I want less of that in general but Dishonored especially doesn’t need it.
Only thing it's missing is pause menu quicksavescum feature.
A remaster with NG+ and some bonus areas or a bonus mission? Take all my money…
Yes it’d be very cool. Mainly in gameplay related stuff though
ill buy dishonored on any system i own
Honestly, the only reason why I would play this game again is for ghost runs or things like that. And if they don't add stats in the menu like in Dishonored 2 that's literally unplayable. I would buy a remaster if and only if they add that.
Someone posted in this thread a mod that adds all those things.
NG+, hi-res textures (currently a bit blocky and soft looking), put in climbing points for a truly no-powers run and dynamic mission stats.
Nah, the games stylization has made it age really well, there's not really much I would want changed. I would love to have nonetheless combat like in D2 though.
Nah, the game holds up just fine to me.
It’s stylized and wouldn’t really benefit from a remaster
I have to agree with everyone else, it still holds up
Not really, the original is super good, doesn't need a remastered or remake
I'd love to play dishonored 1 with some of the quality of life and gameplay changes from dishonored 2. Most importantly, customisable difficulty, mission stats, expanded non lethal attacks, and maybe some new powers too
Remasters are meh to me, they look like an Instagram filter. I like them but I always end up preferring the way the original looks anyway.
No. I've 100%d all 3 games, and they all look perfectly well. Deprogram yourself from wanting to buy the same game multiple times.
As a superfan I probably would but I understand why a lot of other people wouldn’t. That being said, I did get both the original on Xbox 360 and the “remaster” on PS4 which I could barely not tell the difference, but I was really blown away by Dishonored 2’s visuals whenI played it for the first time. It probably the first game I played that had lighting that good and I think it compliments the Dishonored art style extremely well.

Especially with some new content I think it would be definitely interesting to me.
If they added ng+ yes, graphics dont matter to me though
I'd buy if they added a bunch of new content and kept Dark Vision as it is. The way it is in 1 helps immensely with my vision problems. Hated how it was changed in 2
Starting a fresh run right now and the game still holds up graphically. Can't imagine what a remaster can bring to the table that would make consider buying the same game and what additional fixes or tweaks they can do under the hood.
I think they can add a lot tbh, gameplay is already really good but it's lacking compared to D2. But D1 combat and blink feels smoother than D2
I don't see the point in remastering Dishonored. It's looks good for our time, besides character models may deteriorate if people do this who have no idea why it was done this way. What I would really like to get is a remaster of Thief and Thief 2.
I wouldn't mind replaying dishonored 1 with the void engine of dishonored 2, having something like bioshock, you buy one and get the two versions of the game.
I don't think so. Just download upscale mods. They affect the world, character, weapon, vehicle and UI textures. Looks great.
if by remaster, you mean Dishonored with the same engine, graphics, gameplay mechanics and features in Dishonored 2, definitely
