    dtp Entertainment announced Blood Knights, a vampire Action-RPG thing developed by Deck13 (makers of Venetica). Release date is somewhere in Q3 2012. Here, let me shamelessly steal the press release + trailer from Gamebanshee.

    Looks better than Diablo III, and every shitty Torchlight game. Could be the best vampire game released since Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.

    However, the annoying and possibly game breaking thing is that there will be a tag along character with you, i.e. the sexy vampire bitch. That sucks.

    I have a real soft spot for Venetica, so I'm keeping an eye on this one. (Ugh, vampires, bleh.)

    With spell-checkers being so prevalent nowadays, how in fuck can you manage to post something so ridled with spelling mistakes?

    Yeah, it's so generic and bland that I can't imagine anyone getting hyped about it - even morons and retards should have their standards.

    I'm getting a slight DA2 vibe art-gfx wise.
    But even if that's just me, it looks shitty.

    God the voice and dialogue in the trailer...How can anyone think it was a good idea to release that? Can not watch without cringing. Not much gameplay shown, not really sure what's going on there, plenty of VISCERAL blood splatter and AWESOME cleaves though.

    Doesn't look too bad. Sure, story looks cheesy as fuck, art design is horrendously ridiculous, but Venetica was fun and this looks like it could be, too.

    Combat system looks similar to that of the First Templar, and that game was not too bad either.

    Yup. Same here.
    Venetica was fun, despite all the valid points you could raise against it.

    And this does look better than Venetica by far.
    Also, I :love:non-gay* vampires and cheesy stories, so... ;)

    *gay as in Twilight, not gay as in Russel & Talbert in True Blood, those were nice.

    Hopefully they use a different engine than Venetica. Performance was total crap no matter how good your rig. On consoles it was all but unplayable.

    It has a somewhat endearing B-movie feel to it. Could be worth checking out, but I would not expect much RP in this G.
