[Caim]

THIS GAME IS GOING TO FUCKING SUCK!!

Yes.

Because there's vampires in it.

Yeah it sounds EXACTLY the same

You fags get more retarded by the hour. Can't believe there are people here who're unironically defending this crap. ROFL.

 

[Roguey]

Yeah it sounds EXACTLY the same

It sounds like the hub music they used, not the licensed tracks that were chosen by an Activision suit with 0 input/influence from Troika on what was appropriate for their game.

Quite contrarian to go with "Activision was good actually" given that Cain, Boyarsky, and Mitsoda had nothing good to say about them (even angering Mitsoda to the point where he kicked a chair in a meeting).

Premiering on October 31st, Seattle by Night season two will include eight episodes that air every Tuesday at 5:00 PM Pacific / 8:00 PM Eastern on PennyArcade Twitch channel. The events unfolding in season two set the stage for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2!

More tabletop tie-in stuff like they had in PAX.

It's rough when even the actors look less gay than the characters they play as. It's the opposite of power-fantasy. Faggot-fantasy.

Speaking of songs fit for VTM, I'm surprised no one brought up these two from Redemption:

The licenced music still kind of works because it is only played in the clubs and on the radio, so it really isn't that big a part of the atmosphere of the game itself.

Does that mean Rik Schaffer's Bloodlines theme being inspired by Massive Attack was not from Troika but from Activision?

I have no idea. Also Rik Schaffer used some melodies he had composed earlier, so it might have been a coincidence...

That was Troika.

I will say that I was honered that in the end they chose my composition for the Title Theme of the game. It had been in there since E3 2003 and I think they thought it just worked the best. That made me feel good as a composer. It has an obvious influence from Massive Attack because that is precisely what the developer wanted and thought would work the best. It was a challenge to create a title theme for a game with only being given one influence and reference, but I studied the relationship and sparseness between the bass and drums in bands like Massive Attack and Portishead and began creating a lot of textures and dark themes. There is a lot of use of harmonic guitar feedback in that composition.

Knowing that Tim wanted Fallout soundtrack to sound like Aphex Twin it instantly made me suspect that he also wanted Bloodlines to sound like Massive Attack. It might be his fault.

It all went smooth in the end.
Mark Morgan did an impressive job working on Fallout 1 and 2 soundtracks, while Rik also made the awesome soundtrack for Bloodlines.

 

[Cricket McBangle]

Looks like we got more Bloodlines 2 stuff soon.

 

[duskvile]

I want to see real gameplay narrated by devs. Thanks

 

[The President]

It’ll probably be a few minute video at best, especially when they got the next dev diary on Wednesday.

There's a difference between saying how great your wife is when she's not around and saying the same thing when everyone else sees how fat and unkempt she is.

But you don't want to sell your wife to as many people as possible

So, it looks like Cyberpunk 2077 for VtM story. I think its pretty good for all these development hell. And you can choose gender and customize it. Interesting, but animations looks strange.

 

[Roguey]

You play as an assumed-Armenian named Phyre (you can be male or female but they only had the female option ready to show, giving away their preference). You have a thinblood named Fabian stuck in your head. Cyberpunk on a Budget.

Interesting that CD Projects in the past said that they have character customization which was nothing in release. But here in contrast of CP77 I can see choose in dialogs. In CP77 you - angry or less angry.

You play as Skinwalker ?

He's Georgian. This would be ItsChon if he was actually born in Armenia (your character has an accent).

 

[NecroLord]

Game still looks like shit.
I have already given up hope a long time ago, so, not really disappointed.

 

[Zombra]

Wait, what the fuck? Premade fully voiced PC with a very specific personality and motivations? I don't care if you can choose the shape of their genitals or what style of shoes they wear, this is fundamentally disappointing.

Well you can be mean, a rube, or somewhere in-between though it bothers me that these options aren't in the same place in both dialogues.
