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

[0wca]

For a few characters its pretty terrible. The main characters however: Victoria, Hazel, Arturo, etc. sound fucking amazing.

Some of the old characters with new voices sound close enough, but the thing I really didn't like is that some of them were not voiced at all like Nines and Bertram if I remember correctly. They should have been cut, especially as their part in the Sabbat story made no sense in the first place as Jack certainly told them not to fight over the sarcophagus and also because the dark fighting arena was one of the worst new maps anyway! Strauss could have just starved the player to Topor in his magical maze...

When I talked to burgermeister about that he said he simply couldn't find people willing to do the voices that sounded close enough to the original characters.

Although that bit is only at the end so it's not that annoying I guess.

He told me the same when I beta-tested this, but as this would have removed a plot hole and weak map as well, I still don't understand why he let it in there.

Hope they bring back Deb.

Then doesn't that qualify as new information?

I have new information.

Okay, here it is

Spoiler

No new information so far.

 

[NecroLord]

BREAKING NEWS!
"Codexers discover that Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 is nothing but a pipe dream,a project which might never be finished and fully deliver on its promises. Therefore, many have opted, instead, to replay the original game, which is infinitely better and the swan song of the gaming company known as Troika".

You can't stop Dexers from touching the poop even if it is only in their minds.

They mostly help other studios make games. They had a hand in Ragnarok and some games from Riot. Also worked on Halo Infinite, Valorant, etc. They're the guys you offload extra/less interesting work to so that the main studio in charge can focus on the important stuff. Using Ragnarok as an example, they built some of the realm maps and a portion of the hub world. Not unusual or all that telling how development of the game is going. Whoever the main studio making the game is will tell us a lot more about how development is going than knowing Valkyrie Entertainment is working on it too.

 

[Dadd]

How many teams do they need to make a fucking video game? lmao

There's one or two programmers and a dozen diversity managers per team, so...

Old news, Valkyrie worked on Hardsuit's iteration, they're not necessarily working on the new one https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...-from-paradox-interactive.126124/post-7643317

The art manager's linkedin (Cameron Kleven) mentions that he only worked on it from March 2018 through Dec 2018.

A ton of art is contracted out to other studios these days. Gotta cut costs however you can.

Anyway, the latest TCR newsletter confirms that whatever it is they're working on will definitely be announced by this time next year (unless they get canceled )

The sun, whenever we are lucky to see it, hangs low over the Sussex skies, winter is well and truly here. The days are getting shorter, but it's still very cozy as the Brighton Lanes have been lit up with seasonal warm lighting. As we're winding up this year, we are giddy with excitement. This time next year - if all goes well - we'll already be reflecting on everyone's reactions to what we are cooking up inside our studio walls. Big projects are being worked on and we're enormously enthusiastic about bringing them to your attention.

I get that being pessimistic is a safe bet with this production, but the wording isn't exactly suggesting that they will "announce" a year from now.
It sounds more like a "In a year we'll be looking back at how it went".

 

[Xelocix]

Whenever they do announce it they better use gender neutral terms for the PC in the trailer. I'll kill myself if they misgender my character before I can create xim/xer.

There are two game's screenshots in The Chinese Room | Meet The Department Ep.2/4 - AUDIO video. Do you know what games is it? Timecode: 2:03. Maybe it's something about Word of Darkness?

 

[Infinitron]

 

[Vincente]

What does that quest say? Travel To...? There's also a marker on screen that shows the place is 357m away, which is kind of far for a hub system?

get ready for this

 

[Roguey]

Haha, whoops. Always a good idea to take screencaps though in case they go back and edit out the things they weren't supposed to show.

Yeah, despite posting the news here like a month ago I forgot that Wester said that it was "not impossible" it'd be out in 2023.

The guy with the headphones on has serious soy face.

Yes, this is VtMB2: Character, Codex, Ability tree, Control, Scheme.

It also has motocycles so it must be urban fantasy. I was always rooting VtMB2 to me medieval fantasy.

Its also night time. But that "! Battle" thing got me thinking. What could it be?
