Well... i've now read the entire thread, and all i can say is *gaaah*... that took a while :)

People here seems to be under the impression that "Hardsuit Labs" are new. They are not... well.. the company is, the people behind it are not. Before they started the company "Hardsuit Labs", they existed as "Zombie Studios" for 20 years, and they made mostly bad games. The namechange was simply due to the original owners of Zombie Studios retiring, and retiring the company name. Most of the company then soldiered on under a new company name (Builderblock games), before changing name to "Hardsuit Labs". Then they approached Paradox with a pitch, and here we are.

Edit : And i just relalized that i haven't posted in 18 years :p

You can safely go back to torpor, we'll let you know when CD Projekt has acquired the VtM license.

Incidentally, the original Caldwell green dragon, from the cover of DL10 Dragons of Dreams, is now available for use as an avatar.

Holy fuck, you're 20 years old.

Yes sir! You can probably imagine how much I sound like a hipster when people ask me about video games I enjoy.

"Yeah, I love Fallout... no, not that one... uh, no, not that one either, I actually like the, uh, first one... um nevermind..."

I'm sure there's some people my age kicking around here.

All around lingers a quiet hope that this project is mercifully buried like the propped-up, fetid corpse it is.

Or pawned to CD Projekt Red.

So it can get turned into an ''action-adventure'' game with Borderlands-esque shooting system and uninevitable celebrity cameos?

You seem to be implying that that wouldn't be better than whatever the fuck this will be. :?

Yes, be satisfied with slightly less garbage over a total garbage. Of course it would be better than ''whatever the fuck this will be'', it's not that hard to surpass the bar here.

CD Projekt's major weakness is gameplay. They're doing pretty well with characters, C&C and story, which a Bloodlines sequel really needs. In that respect, it would be a good fit.

It's true they now have the ambition to make huge games and worlds, and Bloodlines requires a more intimate story and setting. Anyways, this is all moot since it'll never happen. CD Projekt already has its Deus-Ex-like game in Cyberpunk. For now.
