Animations and facials expression do satisfy me. This is wholesome improvement overall. Now they need to nail the gameplay and writing to make Vamily proud.
Where do we see facial animations in this? The parts that show characters' faces look like clips from cutscenes or just cinematic footage shot for the sole purpose of this trailer. The only dialogue we have is from the last gameplay reveal, where it looked like Skyrim tier trash.

I liked the trailer.
Hm, makes me wonder: the guy in the beginning, dancing between the puppets, literally pulling their strings, is that a message? Maybe each puppet in that scene represents a main character in the game, leaders perhaps, and the fact they're shown as puppets with strings attached and the guy playing with a string. Maybe they're trying to tell us that he's manipulating all of them.

I think they're not puppets but people he killed. He's psycho what he's done to them.

I don't know if anyone cares, but I did a rework of the trailer using what I consider a more fitting song. The current one is just way too Fallout-ish and out of place for me.
Started by simply adding the song to the background and then I did some additional montage/adding sound effects. Then I changed the order of some scenes. I spent more time than I'd ever admit on it to synchronize some musical sequences and lyrics with what happens on screen. Then I added some sound effects and other little touches. This is the final result.

It's a Queen song that, in my humble opinion, really fits that "Malkavian theatrical madness" vibe of this trailer better than the original musical choice.

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. :M

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.

I really dont understand those tards with incredible canon revisionist ideas, you bought the IP for the audience then you shit on the audience and try to force them buying something else, What is the point? You are shitting on the same thing you bought.

Worked for Fallout 3. <rimshot>

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
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.
