Honestly, can't even recall what most of them sound in the trailer and I watched it 10 minutes ago. Other than that roommate with afro, his voice is very irritating.

Bland voice acting and poor writing. Why do companies neglect the very things that made their product great in the first place?

tbh, I was just reminded of Nox Harrington more than anything with him (albeit much worse voice acting)

At the very least the verticality showcased might be interesting.

Haha, all you people expected Mitsoda to be a good writer. It's like you didn't play Dead State.
As I've mentioned before, Valve put a lot of effort into making sure Source had great, easy-to-use facial animation tools. Unreal doesn't have this, nor will it ever.
Even though it's an utter pain to use, Hardsuit should have gone with licensing Source anyway because of the expectations.

Those are moves from an aerobic class in a gym ported into a dance floor... Nothing like knocking all those around you in the club with your elbows and your arms.

Its actually a myth perpetuated on this forum that Mitsoda is a great writer, when in reality even the first bloodlines was full of thinly veiled exposition dumps all over the place. The only thing that was good character wise in the game was face animation and voice acting and that wasnt Mitsoda's work

Yeah, it doesn't sound as good as the voice acting in the original. The voice acting of the original is fantastic, i was expecting subpar voice acting because the game came out in a time where good voice acting in videogames was still rare, but it blew me away honestly. John DiMaggio as Smiling Jack was honestly amazing.

What the fuck is it with modern trailers and everything being from a cutscene? Even the gameplay trailer is full of mini-cutscenes.
Anyway, looks shitty. The triumph of its predecessor was in creating a low-key, cool atmosphere that you wanted to immerse yourself into, and having the freedom to do that in a variety of ways. Whereas this one just screams 'You can be a fucking cool vampire man, you can do parkour shit and blow people up with your hands and anything you like! Buy our game and we'll call you Ebony Nightshade in real life, for real dawg! It's EPIC.'
To be fair, none of that was a surprise, but the voice acting was actually worse than I was expecting. Everyone's giving it their whole 'Showing off for the kids in the drama class' thing, aren't they? The first game held a lot of its charm in the laconic delivery of both its plot and its characters. Replacing it with enthusiasm doesn't really fit the whole 'We're undead parasites lurking in the shadows of a crapsack world' thing, in my opinion.

The trailer made me realize how fucking great Source engine is for facial animation. Holy shit. How come not a single one could get above that level?

Hard to appreciate just how creative and smart Valve was in the Half-Life/Half-Life 2 era until you look back at Source and realise that the industry has basically gone nowhere since
Everyone just uses the same old shitty pre-made Unreal engine instead of making their own stuff
Or they're forced to use Frostbite
And Valve is now a shadow of their former selves, RIP
