We'll always have those nice teaser clips.

hiring soy producer guy from ubisoft and some tumblr dyke as the lead sure payed out for you hardsuit labs! game might be shit or not even come out but at least you're on the right side of history with a 70% diversity quota

I got some info from Russian beta-tester, according to him it was a disaster. Hehe.

Look earlier in this thread, I don't know how to search threads for post of exact poster sorry.
My first post itt is with screenshoots from this betatester.

Before Bloodlines, Troika had only ever done pseudo-isometric turnbased RPGs and they had never worked with Source before (or anyone else for that matter). I'd have more faith in them shipping a decent RPG than any other Paradox-owned studio. That being said, I doubt it's going to them.

We are not talking about humans,but about millennial sjw trannies.

LOL at wanting Brian Piss-soda back, when he and his company were the problem.

There are practically no independent AA(A) studios with RPG experience left. THQ Nordic/Embracer (how many?), Nacon (Spiders, Cyanide), and Focus (Deck13) absorbed most of them in Europe, and Microsoft did in US.

Tapping into companies specialized in co-development is probable imo. Like Certain Affinity, Behaviour Interactive, Sumo Digital, and Asobo. They may not be specialized in RPGs, but they at least have competency in execution and some have experiences with open world action things.

If they really want to tap into a studio with RPG experiences, doing partnership with publishers like THQ Nordic, Nacon, or Focus would be viable, I think. Before all these dramas, Bloodlines 2 was one of the most hyped RPGs in recent years after all.

They could go to an experienced giant like Keywords Studios. But first they should decide what they want.

You people should cool it with mocking comments, think of every poor consumer who preordered this game for the stop sign and Jeanette's miniskirt. What do you think they are going through now?

Spoiler

we're doing fine. ecstatic really. check out my posts in this thread for more

 

[T.Ashpool]

i'd rather the game not come out than it being developed by focus interactive. just please no.
fuck it give it to larian or harebrained schemes, game might become isometric and be nothing like the other ones but at least it'll be some sort of rpg.
not a walking sim, not a ubisoft open world shooter. i just want an rpg.

 

[Ismaul]

No Mitsoda, no Bloodlines.

I don't see them hiring him back, so it's dead. Irreversible damage to the brand and the game. I have no interest in playing the salvage operation of Mitsoda's game. His characters are what made the original good.

They'd better call whatever game they make something else than Bloodlines.

 

[Caim]

Tired of replacing lead developers, Paradox has made the economical decision to replace the entire damn studio in one go.

 

[Ninjerk]

Whoever said "non-consenting Kindred" was onto something, I think. In the latest version of VtM, vampires will be polite good bois who dindu nuffin and ask for consent. Didn't Lestat do that in Interview? That's homoerotic enough to be palatable to the woke.

From the start i knew this will be a mockery of another one of my favorite games. But development of this... fine masterpiece was one of the most entertaining fuck ups i've ever seen. I give it 10 Mitsoda's fingerless gloves out of 10. You can't make that shit up.

All these tards who preordered screaming "muh classic returns i coom in my pants" when this piece of digital abortion was announced. An sjw travesty from a dev team with almost no portfolio other than some defunct PVP trash. From the devs so pathetically cucked that they thought lips icon was sexist

Inclusion is part of the accessibility process as well, we have been very conscious about creating iconography that is non-gender specific and considerate of cultural sensitivities. The icons are designed to not rely on gendered tropes (such as pouty lips for seduction or a man’s dress shirt to represent wardrobe), and we use straightforward ideas for icons that can be interpreted no matter the native language or culture.

Turns out Bloodlines was sexist for using man and woman lips icons while talking to them respectively.

Luckly all these people who pre ordered still have an option to refund it.

There was this suspected PR guy posting in the thread about a year back and he did a very good job of getting people excited.

The funny thing is I never said the game would be any good.

I was overtly enthusiastic at the prospect of a new first-person RPG, and it's a shame it didn't pay off. But, hey, at least in the mean time we got Fallout 76, The Outer Worlds, and Cyberpunk 2077, huh?

Those games exist. Bloodlines 2 does not. But if you're back, does it mean Bloodlines 2 is getting a relaunch?

Bloodlines 2 exists within our collective hearts and minds.

penning a letter to paradox right now demanding the reinstatement of mitsoda, who did nothing wrong and was unfairly thrown under the bus

 

[Avarize]

I still remember that first interview with Brian & Co trash talking the first game including stop sign and tourette. Then go full *we only punch up* rhetoric.

Lost all hope then. Other games at least manage to deceive until release.

Within an hour of becoming available I preordered the game, read that interview and cancelled my preorder.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

preordered

bro
why

 

[Maculo]

That is worse than I imagined. I do not think I have seen a publisher just throw its subsidiary/affiliate under the bus like that (at least not upfront).

 

[samuraigaiden]

What engine were they using to make the game? Unreal or Unity?

 

[Tacgnol]

What engine were they using to make the game? Unreal or Unity?

UE 4

 

[Lord of Riva]

What engine were they using to make the game? Unreal or Unity?

The game clearly is unreal

Fuck,you are back. You are my favourite shill! I really missed you,you should become a regular . I would take you over the game any day.
