World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs and Brian Mitsoda

Why would they focus their trailer on flashy animations if their animations aren't that good?
If it's an RPG and not some naughty dog interactive movie bullshit, then just make a video showcasing RPG stuff, ffs.

 

All the dancing came across as Twin Peaks-esque to me. Doubt it'll be as well-written though.

 

It was made for Xbox show, they aren't going to showcase RPG stuff to normies

 

When the man said ''everyone grab a limb'', all the others around him were other vampires revealed with images, like that short haired blonde Torey on the left and the Ventrue with the suit on the right. Even the masked Malkavian. And we did see a fight scene with her. I wonder if they are a coterie?

 

I guess I don't see what's so bad about it? The animations are pretty bad, but whatever. I actually liked the looks of some of that combat footage. Besides that, not much to tell about the actual game.

 

Yep looks like it was made on a shoestring budget alright. If it flops I can at least laugh at all the virtue signaling retards at the company who will hopefully never work in the video game industry again. That they want out of their way to pander to tumblr and STILL managed to offend them is amusing.

 

if they have 10 minutes of gameplay time, they definately will show the RPG stuff.

But they only have a 2 minutes trailer, I doubt they can show anything new here when it comes to the RPG stuff. They already showed that part last year on E3.

 

Worked for Fallout 3. <rimshot>

 

The trailer actually looked better than expected. A bit too much dancing for whatever reason but we're going somewhere

 

Why does a game from some french studio looks, sounds and animates better than the supposed revival of a 30 years old franchise? Seriously, just compare this scene from Vampyr to anything Paradox shown of Bloodlines 2 - it's like no one in Hardsuit Labs knows that much about animation, character models or artstyle in general. Pretty fucking sad.

 

We really didn't see many in-game cut scenes yet. The latest trailer seems to have improved things quite a bit.
By the way, now that you mention it, the final sequence in Vampyr, the one with William Marshal is very reminiscent of Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption and Christof Romuald's story. Just my two cents.

 

Prince Cross? Really?

 

First name Cris.

Yes. Really.

 

Looks like he had too many blood bisquits lately.

 

Really? You compare an overlong monologue that was probably motion-captured for a complete game with some small sequences probably improvised for a trailer? And speaking of artstyle, I only remember that everything looked the same in Vampyr and that both story and behaviour of the protagonist were a complete mess. I really hope that Bloodlines 2 will be better on all accords!

 

I thought this was the original and was wondering what was so bad then kept reading backwards and found the original

 

The lead animator at dontnod formerly worked on the metal gear solid games.

 

People keep posting this in discord soo maybe they’ll fix him

 

Yes? Don't take me wrong - I want Bloodlines 2 to be the best thing since the coming of Jesus, but if they can't for even a minute reach the level of animation quality of an AA budget game from 2018 - they got some problems.

Reed is a set protagonist so his reactions and choices are largely pre-determined, won't argue about that.

Artstyle, it's more about preference - Vampyr looked drab but consistent and did not trigger an uncanny valley effect with it's character models.

 

Finally got around to checking out the new trailer.

Hype-o-meter twitched a little from zero, where it's been resting for a while. The marionettes were genuinely creepy and the atmosphere felt right.

I also much prefer the Queen song to the danky shane one. Nice job with that

 

Hey, LaCroix meant Cross too.

 

My pre-order meter went up 27%.

 

Oh yeah? And who else they're suppose to show then, this fat ass? To be fair, second in command Camarilla 'the middle finger from trailer' bitch looks alright.
Zyondyne Dammit man, great job! Queen fits waaaay better.
