Or are you one of those faggots that get mad when someone misgender some stupid subgenre?

Yeah, that's not heavy metal.

And damn right I get mad when someone pretends to know something they don't know. It's like Hollywood calling Death Metal anything metal.

Also, fuck you.

Modern, urban setting only please. What makes VTMB so great is it showed what a unique and engrossing setting you can have for a game just by exaggerating our modern reality a bit. No need for distant exotic past setting. Give me dingy hotels, back alley porn shops, night clubs and hospitals.

Considering how "in" 90s retro nostalgia stuff is right now they'd be retards not to make use of that. Set it in late 80s/90s New York City. Have a nice contrast between the yuppie Wall Street culture where the Camarilla elites could thrive in their high rise penthouses versus the punk/grunge counter-cultural underside where the likes of the Brujah and Nosferatu would fit right in. Have all the hip modern art stuff for Toreador and so on.

So, they turned the warrior-philosopher clan into antifa. Good one, white bitches!

The Brujah in Bloodlines did not come across as particularly smart, especially Damsel, who was a college commie (though to their credit, they allowed you to mock her).

Really, though, the setting is so underused I'll be happy with whatever timeline they choose. I'd prefer one with the least cringe potential.

The Brujah aren't warrior-philosophers in the modern nights anymore, they are, at best, idealistic punks who lack the scholarly and intellectual grounding of the previous Brujah. That causes them to not really have any political savvy or influence.

Based on that Tender app, I think its fairly safe to say that it won't be set in 90s.
I'm just being optimistic. I doubt we will even get a real game out of this. Let alone a good one with a well done setting.

I really don't know how much more progressive and woke they can become. I can't think of one thing from mainstream SJWism that is missing in WoD. Gays, lesbians and those filthy bisexuals - check, trannies - check, polyamory - check, stronk womyn - check, racial minorities - check, danger hair - check. Soooooo???
Tone is everything. Though it was obviously written by liberals, there was a lot of stuff in Bloodlines that would not fly in the Current Year.
Yeah the option to confess that you voted Republican to that one bar designed like a church and that one guy running for president or whatever political post being some kind of a satirised Republican are the first things that pop up in my mind regarding this.

If we will really get a vampire game set in the darkness universe then i am excited but the big question would be if Paradox is willing to make a RPG like Bloodlines knowing that it failed to make enough money and killed it's developer.

I hope there's gays, bisexuals, transexuals, pansexuals, I hope your pet dog can communicate with telepathy and tells you he is transgender. I hope it's nothing but transgender people on Tender. I hope there's this beautiful, sensual woman you can romance, get home and undress and a big floppy cock smacks you in the forehead. Just to piss you idiots off.

Pretty sure Bloodlines is more popular now that it has ever been, especially if we judge by owner numbers on Steam. If Paradox can temper their expectations and not pour too much money into this thing, it might turn out decent. Wasting too many resources will just force them to casualize it to the point of unrecognizability and it will flop again. Middling developers are showing surprising lack of awareness of who their audience are.

Btw can we even talk about a game from WoD being developed? We could have missed the point of this dating app trailer and it could be just another generic vampire game that's not connected to White Wolf. Is there any information about Paradox having the rights to create a WoD game?

And I quote, Whether you’re looking for meaningful friendships, true love or simply a late night bite with a kindred spirit, says the app description.

Completely failed to take the word "kindred" into deeper consideration. Yeah I don't think they used that word just because they felt like it, thanks for pointing it out.

No, thank you. I don't want any sequel game of a game I loved that is not made by the original team. I'm too tired of having hope for games that turned out to be fucking shit.
