Game News Cyanide to develop a Werewolf: The Apocalypse game

[TT1]

I would be much more interested in a Vampire Dark Ages cRPG

I preemptively weep tears of wasted potential.

And they are more interested in ignoring your interests.

What are some possible reasons that Paradox wouldn't be the ones to publish a game using their own recently-acquired IP? Why outsource to another publisher?

AAA popamole-type games aren't really part of Paradox's business model.

Like they said in 2015: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/...take_White_Wolf_Publishing_off_CCPs_hands.php

the plan is to keep the division working primarily as a licensing business

Wasn't this WoD stuff popular 15 years ago? Is it still going strong?

Fairly sure most people outside of Codex say that about cRPGs.

 

[Kev Inkline]

If CD Projekt had only been given a chance to make this.

 

[i.Razor]

Well if it will have White Wolf supervision on story or something then i'm good. I think that PT and Vtm:R had some supervision from setting creators?

Too filthy needs a modesty mod.

I weep that Troika doesnt exist anymore to take advantage of this.

 

[Roguey]

They'd just make a bad, buggy game with ultra-progressive writing courtesy of Mr. Vandermeer-nee-Mitsoda.

Interesting. Sylvain Séchi, lead designer of Game of Thrones rpg isn't at Cyanide anymore.

There's still a lot of interest in WoD games / settings.

The fabled Lassie: The Apocalypse cRPG that was somehow intended to be an isometric / blobber mix.

Why?
So we'd get average dialogues with lots of swearing (swearing being of course the hallmark of "mature" writing)?
Fixed console-oriented view angles and UIs?
Pixelated DD+ tits for the twelve year olds (tits being of course the hallmark of "mature" aesthetics)?

You might consider changing your username to something other than inkline; misspelled as it is.

 

[hello friend]

A well-done Changeling game would be amazing.

Haha. Well-done. As if.

 

[Jaesun]

A well-done Changeling game would be amazing.

Haha. Well-done. As if.

THAT setting would require an amazing group of talent, and imagination that current business models just cannot support. Which is completely sad really.

 

[Rivmusique]

If CD Projekt had only been given a chance to make this

I don't get it.

It's fine, bud. Just leave it.

 

[Rahdulan]

Haha. Well-done. As if.

I think character creation alone would be a major obstacle to Changeling, kinda like magic system would be to Mage. You can basically be anything as long as it fits existing Kiths. Trimming that down would just piss off people.

Hey Edgelord, do you have images turned off?

Also, mrw when you mention the spelling of my username:

 

[Aenra]

Hey Edgelord, do you have images turned off?

No, i just usually scroll past memes?
Am assuming there was sarcasm involved? If so, my apologies.

Regarding 'edgelord', am not into Dex slang, just call things as i see them; and way i see them?
TW3 does have average dialogues with lots of swearing.
TW3 does have fixed console-oriented view angles and UI.
TW3 does have tit ogling for twelve year olds.
..oh, and i also neglected to mention..
TW3 does have dodge/roll moshuns. Much akshun.

I don't find any of the above definitive of an RPG, much more of a good one. If that makes me an edgelord, O.K. i guess.

Rivmusique if you meant his sarcasm, no, i didn't get it, lol

Werewolves run in packs, that is their trademark. So there are 3 possibilities:
1. They change this into a single character story/game, fuck the lore.
2. They make a MP game out of this where 4 players go around and murder stuff in some action rpg type of game.
3. They make a proper team based RPG where one player controls the pack.
3a. They make a real time combat system (BG or Dragon Age style)
3b. They make a turn based combat system (D:OS) style.

What is most likely?

 

[Kev Inkline]

What is most likely?

They make a shite game.

 

[ArchAngel]

What is most likely?

They make a shite game.

That is for another question :D

Game being good or bad is independent of what I asked.

 

[Elwro]

Of all the WoD settings they had to choose the least interesting one? I suspect half of the budget will be spent on gore and transformation animations.

Probably 3a considering Cyanide has experience with party-based RPGs and that "time slows down while you select attacks" kind of combat. They just need to up the party size from regular two. On a more realistic side it's probably going to be an action RPG with debatable level of RPG aspects. What really interests me is how they'll handle the main character(s) considering up to this point their RPGs had fixed protagonists because they had specific stories to tell where nothing else would really work. How is this going to gel with various Tribes or if they're going Redemption-style where you get locked into a single one remains to be seen.
