It looks a little different than it did a few years ago? There’s been radio silence since Paradox started over with the new devs. This game has had a really troubled production, I think Paradox has been trying to get it off the ground since 2015. Now it’s being done by The Chinese Room, most known for Dear Esther and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.
Bloodlines is one of my favorite games of all time, so I’m trying to stay optimistic that the devs also hold it in high regard and will try to make a worthwhile sequel. The gameplay from this new trailer looks a little clunky and weird, but maybe that’s ok. VTMB never had great combat in the first place. The dialogue, writing, and vibes are where it’s at. Looks like there will be gliding around and parkour stuff? Might be cool.
Anyone looking forward to this game? There’s even a release window, Fall of 2024, but this game was supposed to originally release in March of 2020, so don’t hold your breath.
Im hoping to be pleasantly surprised but it has had an extremely troubled development. Hope they stick the landing but I’m not banking on it or anything
Brian Mitsoda was a narrative designer on the previous dev team, he was the lead writer of the first game. But who knows how much of his work is left over in this new iteration.
This is something I desperately want to be good. I love the WoD setting and I don’t think it’s been given much of a fair shake in games.
Yeah I remember there was some issues between him and whoever calls the shots I guess so I’m kind of expecting a lot of his work to be redone but I suppose we’ll see
I’m right there with you, the og is one of my fav games and vtm was the first ttrpgs I ever played. Fingers crossed but usually games that have been in development hell come out kinda half baked. I’m cautiously optimistic tho
