I mean from what we've seen so far, the 'March 2020' release date shown on the Bloodlines 2 Steam page is reflected in the trailer's 'Q1 2020' date, but the lack of specificity might mean that Bloodlines 2 could need a bit more time in the coffin.

I actually hope so. March 2020 would bring the release right next to Cyberpunk 2077 and being overshadowed should not happen again to a Bloodlines game :)!

They've been saying Q1 2020 and March is the latest it could possibly come out if they're shooting for a Q1 release date. In their shoes, I would be busting my ass to get the game out in January or February so there's some space between it and Cyberpunk. Postponing strikes me as a very bad idea. The only thing worse than releasing your action RPG a month before CP2077 is releasing it a month after CP2077. Although obviously they'll release on the same day as the most hyped game of the year if they're really trying to recreate the feel of the original.

They could've postpone the release to October to not compete with Cyberpunk 2077 and make sure to iron out any Urine 4-related problems and prepare the DLCs at least. And to be sure they'll have RDNA 2 rays supported from the start instead of patching it later when nobody would care.

Chris already basically did, right here on Codex discussing rape depiction in his previous work.

No one considered Myron Avellone's best work which is the distinction I'm trying to make here.

I am proud to say that I played VtM:B first.

I was playing Far Cry 1 at the time, with all the terrain in the game being white, months later I learned how to update gfx driver to fix it. Playing it in correct terrain colors never tasted the same

True story.

Played VTMB for the first time in early 2010s sometime, tho 3-4 playthroughs since then.

It's a very good corridor shooter. I still replay it occasionally. Ravenholm is great for jump scares.

I hadn't even played HL1 until a few years ago where I played Black Mesa without knowing they hadn't finished the ending segments. The plan was to play HL2 after that but because of BM being unfinished I never got around to it.

Single-threaded game on source engine, to be precise, like Koumiss: Global Offensive. Well, at least being a technical mess is something that will be carried over to VTMB2. Urinal Engine 4 is the same old single-threaded mess that is stuck in 2007 when C2D CPUs were the mainstream.

I come back to the thread to check what's up with the game out of curiosity, stretching my right arm in friendly greeting, and am met with this.
Well, I can tell when I'm not being welcome anymore. No, don't bother, I know the way out.
