Sounds likely.

Prepare for more whining that the Codex isn't a safe space for SJWs and allows "wrong think":

Nice straw man. I didn't even come close to saying that.

A very shitty one, apparently.

Oh, but you did.

Yep. You even derailed this thread because a simple comment hurt your feelings.

You could have just scrolled over and ignored it, but "SJW gonna SJW", as they say. Great job.

I just want the original game ported to a stable engine like OpenMorrowind and DaggerfallUnity are.

I don't think any of these could duplicate the facial animations of Bloodlines and out goes a pretty big part of what made the game so much fun...

You think a modern more complete engine can't do what a janky unfinished source engine can? Animations are a matter of skill, not technology. It would be a project to port the game and all its assets to an engine that's more stable, with a greater ability to mod. It's not a remake.

Still better than most of the other ones,he even throw me off my game with his......human characteristics. Most PR people are so retarded that you could recognize them from mile away,this one even conversed with people. There is still hope for him to become a human.

If Space Nugget is a shill I hope he's getting paid well, his posts are the only reason I still watch this thread.

Try again.

I don't understand how a poster of 3 pages worth of information about the game can be a derailer, think to yourself, why would you want to derail the thread (move away from what thread is about) if you want to shill the thread? Doesn't sound too smart.

 

[fantadomat]

Space Nugget is a neo nazi that dislikes equality and diversity! You sir give me hope that the game could come out....fine.

 

[user]

85% chance that they completely fuck it up by adding tranny nosferatu or some SJW identity politics bullshit that nobody wants.

SJW or any other politically biased stuff are only bad if the game cencors itself or restricts rp freedom/becomes unrealistic in order to shove its "values" down your throat.

You tried to resist the hype but gave in in the end eh...

I do want to see a good vampire game,but i have heavy doubts that it will be in this dimension. Still if their PR goy is a kind of normal human being,there is a chance. After all 99% of PR and HR are retarded sjw cunts.

Just show me examples of modern games with better facial animation during in game dialogues. The only thing I played that came close was RAGE and they didn't really use it! Most of the latest Unreal 4 engine faces, or anything that Bethesda releases, are horrible in comparison, although "The Outer Worlds" looks promising. In the Unity games I played, developers usually avoided showing NPCs altogether, everyone is always gone or dead . But you are right, I don't know if this is due to engine or skill limitations...

 

[Lacrymas]

Yes, modern facial animations suffer from what Yahtzee calls "the Bioware gestures" (or something along those lines), where animations aren't really synced with speech and it creates this really uncanny effect as if aliens are trying to emulate human body language.

 

[Zer0wing]

But you are right, I don't know if this is due to engine or skill limitations...

Depends, some engines can create animations procedurally or include tools like Face Poser (for Source Engine) to generate facial animations from an auido file or text string. The Source Engine really does facials the best IMO.

Creation Engine can do the latter only with a fucking SKSE plugin.

That's 8pm DST (Daylight Saving Time, instead of PST, beginning on March 10)

Either Space Nugget has indeed connections to Paradox or he is one of the few people actually researching stuff here! Instead of all the others just whining already how horrible and SJW this game will be before it has even been announced. Back on topic, Outstarwalker connected me with Rik Schaffer some time ago to get unused music into the patch. It this a hint that Rik is involved?

 

[theLorry]

I'm hyped (to a degree) even though the game in all likelihood will be trash, or simply meh--which is much worse; without having played either of them, Fallout 76 has yielded me much entertainment, while Fallout 4 none at all.

As for the game's SJW factor, I'm not too concerned. The Shadowrun RPGs were fun in spite of it. So was Pathfinder: Kingmaker. I like deep grand strategy games, and there is no studio in the same league as Paradox when it comes to delivering them. In my opinion their latest titles (Stellaris and HoI4) are bad, but Paradox's political agenda constitutes less than 1% of the problem, while the real culprit is the DLC spam, the simplification aimed at attracting a wider player base, and the greater focus on multi-player. Besides, in Paradox's games you can always mod out the worst garbage (for example, in my CK2 game, a country's research will actually benefit from kicking out a certain group of individuals).

I'm more worried a VtM game will be bad for a million other reasons.

Can someone sheds some light on what's new in VTM 5ed compared to whatever used in VTM:B

Isn't this a comparison to the 20th anniversary edition? Is it the same used in VTM:B?

 

[Delterius]

everyday this thread fills me with a bit more joy and hope for the future disappointment that'll cause me to commit sudoku

 

[Zer0wing]

commit sudoku

Do eet nao.

 

[imweasel]

Okay, after reading that I will raise my prediction that they will fuck up the game to 95%.

Instead of all the others just whining already how horrible and SJW this game will be before it has even been announced.

That attitude worked out great for Beamdog and their Dragonspear game. They put one tranny to lecture the player into the game and the Codex was bitching for weeks while the game bombed.

It was actually pretty sad when you think about it, because the game is actually ok.... But you reap what you sow, as they say.

He and the resident SJW retards thought I wouldn't respond to his comment about "muh mean anti-SJWs like imweasel", which was a big mistake.

Lets just say he inadvertently derailed the thread. My comments can just really trigger these lefty dumbfucks for some reason...

We may be bloodsucking, parasitic monsters, but at least we aren't alt-right nazis, right gang?! *cheers in wonderfully diverse voices fills the safe space*
