Video and these people in it, and words said about the game in media...a lot of red flags, that's for sure. A lot of. Really lot. Of red. Flags. Red. Flags...

but who knows, maybe this will be fun to play.

If the game isn't good nor GOTD, Vampire Lord Delterius Dracul will drink our blood and make us his everlasting thralls to cope his rage. Codex, once shining beacon of humanity, is to be a modern gothic castle-lair of old magic and blood.

I've never thought of Bloodlines setting to be exact modern city hubs. Setting was in modern cities of alternative timelines and realities.
The biggest mistake of Bloodlines 2 will be if they'll make it too modern and exact copy of Seattle.

My take on Bloodlines (or Vampire the Masquerade in general) was that it's basically the same reality/timeline, only vampires are real* and there is this whole secret war going on (clan versus clan, some humans versus vampires, etc.). You just learn about it being a thing once you're transformed into a vampire.

* - You know, "real" real. Not real-real.

Having a modern and exact copy of places is not really a drawback. Some people might even consider it to be a plus, because you can "visit" certain places in-game.

I should have said modern culture, society,collective and social behaviours of modern Seattle.

When I played Bloodlines I had zero knowledge about societal norms and culture of Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Hollywood at that current time. Bloodlines invented it's own city hubs and cultures.

All right, that makes sense. The World of Darkness is a darker version of our own, by definition necissitating different society and social behaviours.

I'm sure there will be a black NPC somewhere that will cause at least 14 pages of screeching.

No worries. We have brightness/contrast settings on our monitors.
