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

[Momock]

A GTA-like city would be very good for Bloodlines, if it's a "little" map like half of San Andreas (with one city and its surroundings, woods, etc).

This idea should drink everything it can find under the kitchen sink.

Sure, if you could sustain the atmosphere and quality design for most of it. Which is, not really. I'd love to see it less corridor-like in some game. Hengsha in DXHR was pretty decent but not massive.

"Bloody baron" questline in a VTM setting, in the yet indeterminable city. Heavy lie the many responsibilities on his shoulders, and many be the skeletons in his closet. This thing would write itself.

What quality design? The hubs are super lame in Bloodlines, they're like one street (making an "U" best case scenario, it can be a single straight line...), with very little to see/explore, zero verticality or secrets to discover or places hard to reach or skillgated. And loading screens everywhere. How is a little open-world not better?

Bloodlines was all about getting to Story Content or Dungeon Content without a bunch of gamey stuff getting in the way. Seems to be better received than The Outer Worlds which takes the approach you want.

I'm sure there's some space left in the market for yet another Filler Content Walking Simulator.

Don't forget walking through the LA streets and taking in the atmosphere.

 

[Ismaul]

Ahh yes, fishnet neon sultry tits, the best atmosphere.

How is this not out yet?

Evidently, it's a Cyberpunk-like.

By being a vapourware lol

Divine intervention.
There's already enough trash on the market anyway.

The deadline is 31st of December.

They should released this two months ago. But they are all incompetent. Best they can do now is wait till next year, because Cyberpunk is going to reck everyone's ass.

How is this not out yet?

Because there is a benevolent god.

 

[Eli_Havelock]

Released or not, Vamporware: The Mehscapade is going to suck.



Ass.

Vampires are not immune to Corona.

...of 2021 assuming they stick to that "promise."

From what I've seen on the forums, there's been a lot of misinformation on the release date because they have placeholder dates of Jan 1 2021 (Epic posted this, I think?) and March of 2021 somewhere else.

I'd be amazed if they somehow made either date or were trying to considering there's no marketing at all, so it's likely sometime later in 2021.

They're currently downsizing it and turning it into an interactive story or some other mobile friendly POS. No way are they releasing it as originally intended, they know that it would bankrupt everyone involved.

Apparently the Paradox CEO finally did speak about Bloodlines 2, although this may need a translation.

Spolier: She doesn't know when it's coming out, first says it's unlikely it may be done before June, then strangely says maybe it'll be done sooner somehow (I can't thing of a game that's magically done sooner than expected?).

It's a lot of "...huh?"

 

[Wunderbar]

it's not coming

Oh my. I always thought they will push the 2020 release date to the maximum, but not releasing this year at all? So much for "we're just fixing bugs and polishing the game at this point".

 

[CyberModuled]

it's not coming

Hope so. If the new writers are just going to change a whole bunch of shit to make it not even "so bad it's funny" tier like most people here were thinking given Ellison's writing and Mitsoda's general incompetence, then at least I'd get a laugh out of Paradox losing money and having egg on face for cancelling their product that would've pushed them into the "AAA" sphere.

Funny, blames the pandemic mostly it feels. Also now it's being delayed because it being worked on for PS5 and the new Xbox.
