Does this look like an insult to Bloodlines or no? I've intentionally avoided looking at it since its initial announcement.

We still know next to nothing about the game right now.

All they've really demonstrated is it will "have clans" and that there will be vampires in it. They're supposed to show it off at E3 though, so then it should become pretty clear whether it's shit or not

So, a game based on Blade, then?

Since when do Blade vampires have clans?

Watch the first one again. Each of the clans/families have their own symbol, even, and when Frost did the ritual, there was one of each clan getting wiped.

honestly, a blade rpg wouldn't be a terrible idea

If those fags lacked the will to make different level design so they could include Nosferatus, you should know they also lack balls to make Malk a good clan.

They will have to do a hell of a lot of world building to get a RPG based on Blade going. It was OK for a movie, but for a RPG, it was not even bare bones.

There were comics, too, right?

They didn't have the will to make Malk a good clan in the first game either. Imagine if the ocean house had been a simple (and seemingly pointless) fetch quest for every other clan, with only malks encountering poltergeist activity. Nobody has the balls to spend that many resources on that kind of detail anymore (except maybe Blizzard, although they're going downhill too and they don't make more traditional rpgs).

Ghosts are real in the WoD so why should their actions be limited to only one clan? I'd rather have Malks react differently in Grout's mansion, feeling that it was build by a similar mind...

To provide a unique experience. I know they're real in the WoD (duh) but that doesn't mean every scenario has to be the same for every clan (with just some small tweaks).

This would also help with replayability, because the ocean house is the second most tedious part in the game after you've seen it once.

Actually it is possible to jump above this broken stairs and skip most of the level.

Wouldn't that suit more a clan that specialized in dealing with the dead like the Giovanni or Cappadocian?

Not based on their personalities. And having it show up only during a malk playthrough would make the player wonder if it's real or just their char's insanity. Lots of missed opportunities to fuck with the player.

Also, they're not playable clans, are cappadocians even still around during bloodlines?

Remnants. About 50 ancient Cappadocians broke out of the Underworld and joined the Sabbat as the Harbingers of Skulls. Samedi are likely an offshoot. Some old Giovanni (so called Premascines) are technically Cappadocians, having been Embraced before Augustus Giovanni diablerised Cappadocius.

 

[Wesp5]

I know they're real in the WoD (duh) but that doesn't mean every scenario has to be the same for every clan (with just some small tweaks).

But this would destroy in-world logic for gameplay reasons, which I dislike. The ghost of the father doesn't wants to be exorcised, so he would try to stop any attempt to do so!

Hopefully we get some gameplay today during the PC games presentation.

You don't need to hope, in the last clan stream they said gameplay footage is happening today.

 

[hexer]

Where can I watch the announcement? On Twitch's official channel?

 

[HansDampf]

I don't want to watch.

Yes, it follows the main stage events. Starts in 6+ hours.
