World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs

[Flying Dutchman]

Don't listen to Roguey spreading fake news implying this game will never see release. Work continues and Paradox is going to make this the best game in the WoD franchise.

cant tell if serious

I think the videogame industry is a big giant catfish

Spotted on the official forums. It makes sense that Paradox was loaning people from Harebrained Schemes to Hardsuit Labs.

He won't be jumping ships to a sinking one, would he?

People will keep jumping ship until it is empty with a single blood-stained artifact in the center, the one that it's all about, until Hardsuit Labs is renamed to Elizabeth Dane.

All these shenanigans really makes Bloodlines all the more impressive. They really are cementing it as an all time work of genius by trying to recreate it.

We can see clearly now that:

- Setting is by and for colossal perverts.
- Everything that was once interesting about the setting has been retconned for no reason.
- Nobody gives a shit about gay vampires any more.
- Making video games is hard.

Troika had that midas touch.

It's possible that with the new shifts in development, they need him full-time onsite and his work won't be over for a while?

I can't imagine Harebrained wouldn't take a dev back if Hardsuit fails, so I don't think it's a bad move if he's getting paid/bribed more to work at Hardsuit.

Content designer and now a lead narrative designer lol they are probably still building content and tossing away whatever was there.

Edit: Also another narrative designer




Doubt we will see any of the original content.

Are we supposed to know this guy/chick/whatever the fuck it is? The name sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

We're doomed, to quote Xan. Or rather Bloodlines 2 is.

Troika would have crushed the Kickstarter era

 

[Child of Malkav]

Writer for Mass Effect Andromeda? Oh, joy. They replaced Brian with her. This is just comedy turned drama. Or vice versa.

 

[Flying Dutchman]

A writer for Mass Effect: Andromeda to replace Mitsoda?

Hardsuit, you never fail to deliver.

Edit: Even better, she posts tons of selfies on her Twitter (@StillNotSam) ughhhhhhhhhh

Manic pixie dream girl!

^Could be worse tbh.

Doubt we will see any of the original content.

Nah, don't think so. They have to try to use what they have, the game is behind schedule.

That's how I know her.

 

[Alienman]

Avellone sure gets around

 

[Delterius]

what if coronavirus was invented by the vampire aristocracy in order to normalize masks and accomodate the "i was embraced with non retractable fangs" lobby

this is from the things i'd post if this thread didn't give me depression

 

[purupuru]

Why does everything have to go so wrong
At this point I'd settle for TOWish mediocrity, but I can't help but think it's gonna be something far, far worse.

 

[Harthwain]

Looks like the game is right on schedule: crashing before it starts burning.

It's going to be a magnificent disaster.

 

[Ol' Willy]

That's how I know her.

Meeting in the elevator:

MCA - Good morning! How ya doin'?

This cunt - [sweating] Hi, Chris (OH NO HE WANTS TO RAPE ME! RAPE, RAPE, RAPE! ASSRAPE IN THE BASEMENT OH NO) [spends next 30 minutes sitting in the john crying and eating]

 

[HansDampf]

So much for the "Brian and Cara got fired because there was no more narrative work to be done" theory.

 

[Ismaul]

Man I can't imagine being Mitsoda right now.

They did him in, the guy who came up with the pitch, and replaced him with randos stitching up the corpse of his game. This on top of incompetents fucking up the gameplay. How many stabbings can a guy take?

 

[Kazuki]

Mods will fix it, i'm sure there will be a dedicated modder that will put in his entire lifetime to fix the game.
