World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 - VTMB sequel from The Chinese Room - coming early 2025

[ChildInTime]

So, I guess no Lasombra after all?

Ok. For those of us out of the loop, can someone explain what happened? Hardsuit got kicked to the curb and The Chinese room picked up development. But what does that mean? Are they all but making a new game with the same name, or are they piecing together the assets they have been given such as the same engine and story?

- Game looked really bad and there was still much to do to finish the level, after all this time.
- Paradox realizes HSL is quite incompetent.
- In a executives meeting, they were about to conclude to cancel the proyect, then an idea came in and they decided to give the proyect to TCR
- TCR receives all the assets from HSL, they switch from UE4 to UE5.
- They decide to change the story from being a thinblood to be an awaken elder.

Am I missing anything?

Perhaps HS never developed any plot line, they just had a number of ideas for quests that a weak vampire could potentially play.

If I remember correctly Brian Mitsoda basically said that the writing was finished when they fired him, so this shouldn't be the case. I can imagine though that the gameplay just wasn't working with some of their stupid ideas like concentrating on melee over firearms and giving the player three traversal disciplines at the same time. From what we have seen so far, TCR at least uses some of the levels and models, it would be a shame if all that work would go to waste and Seattle should look like Seattle anyway...

He probably said it exaggeratedly, because he was fired half a year before the project was picked up by Paradox, four years before the expected premiere from CR. After all, the writing in games is constantly adjusted with other changes. Maybe by "writing is done" he meant "I wrote a very long production document that I consider to be the plot of a game that doesn't exist."

So, I guess no Lasombra after all?

Don't be naive. If the brujah clan will be implemented at least average, it will be great, let alone something like Losmobra.

No Wesp is correct, for your example he’d have to be writing at George RR Martin speed for them to not have the plot and just about everything done after almost 5 years.

 

[Echo Mirage]

Speaking of the Lasombra . I still hope and I pray that someone can either port them out of the trainwreck that was the Antitribu mod, or just make them a standalone clan.

Brujah are boring.

 

[Jason Liang]

I am bored and have no rpgs to play because this game isn't out yet.

 

[Tyranicon]

I dont mean to rake TCR even more over the coals, but jesus fucking christ they can't even write their own goddamn dev diary without Chat GPT.

Like wtf dudes.

In the ever-evolving world of video game development, staying at the cutting edge is a continuous pursuit. With the release of Unreal Engine 5, the landscape has shifted dramatically, presenting game developers with an array of groundbreaking technologies and tools.

Just fuck off already and do your fucking job.

They are. So imagine how amateurish a company would have to be to ruin them.

The Brujah-Phyre looks like a trans-man or one of those non-binaries. You know, those who are considered "cool" these days.

After Carthage was glassed by the Ventrue, Brujah went downhill and lost it.
Or so they say...

 

[Herumor]

They were just as deluded and retarded as modern nights Brujah, they just had better fashion sense.

Muh Carthage.

All clans go downhill as the centuries pass, just as kine do. Hand in hand.

The fall of the Clans is an allegory of the white man's culture decline .

 

[RagingNomad]

Next week we will see another dev diary: "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 comes back with dev diaries next week, with the latest one last year covering moving from Unreal Engine 4 to 5 and usage of Lumen to make dynamic lights in the game. Reminder that this month we are also showing extended gameplay video, so stay tuned!"

The Stranger letting his blood drip into the mass grave he made only to create the Baali? Actually about Colonialism and its consequences.
