Whether it's a remake or not, the original game is one of the best RPGs you can play.

Paradox's Tender Beta ARG - Vampires: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2, Stream Tonight (8:30 PM PST / 11:30 PM EST)

Definitely get the unofficial patch. It's "required".
Personally, I would be thrilled if they updated the game just to play nicer with modern hardware, like what KoTOR II got a few years ago.
As for this, I guess we take a rain check for a month? So far away...lol
Only one other thing I'll ask is that since it's an older game I know some older titles have weird problems on current hardware. I just upgraded to a RTX 2060 and have a 4K monitor. Might the game glitch out due to that?
Definitely seems like it's leaning toward remake, imo, but who knows.
I mean, you never know for sure with any old game. Wesp5 still updates the patch to this day, so it'll probably be fine. That's kind of insane support for a game of its age, even if unofficial.
There are plenty of good mods out there, but the fan patch is essential to actually be able to run the thing on modern PCs and not have extremely glaring issues (such as HUD assets being super low res, blown up, and unreadable). Some of the mods do a good job to restore or make up for the clearly missing content in the game. The base game itself is unfinished, and in some of the later sections of the game it really shows. I still highly recommend it though.
Well, there were some talks in tabletop about trouble with Tremere in SF. And "Chimera" sounds suspiciously similar to gargoyle. Maybe some tremere experiment gone rogue.
My guess is the obvious: Chimera means dream, fantasy, etc, ergo it's a boilerplate codename for the game.
This warrants a threadmark, an edit to the OP and its title (wwm0nkey), or even a new thread imo. It and the Santa Monica screensaver are 100% confirmation of something VtM.

From the ongoing Tender ARG. Presumably it will be at GDC.
RPG Site has an article that provides a good summary for those out of the loop.

there's an ongoing arg right now, check this thread out

am I missing something?
I don't see what this has to do with Bloodlines specifically, at all
Vampire for sure, but bloodlines is specific.

I mean it has Santa Monica Pier as a screensaver, this + the Vampire Bloodlines trademark filed last year...
It's quite obvious what this is meant to be.
Please don't murder my heart by teasing an eventual remaster. The old game is already out, already modded, already loved.
No idea on the developer but Paradox will be publishing. Best known for Cities Skylines, Crusader Kings, Stellaris, Prison Architect and publishing the Mount & Blade games.
Paradox owns the Vampire: the Masquerade IP.
My guess on the developers:
https://www.hardsuitlabs.com/
Paradox owns a part of them and other Paradox Interactive studios dont have the experience in this type of games.

... *Ahem* And by which I mean I'm excited. Did White Wolf drop that Neo-Nazi, though? The one who wrote the rules for one of the recent Vampire books & was all "yeah vampires are cool with the alt-right & this is canon"? If that's still a thing & affects this probable-game, I'm out.

Oh, wow! These guys made Blacklight Retribution? I have a lot of faith to pull this off, then. Harebrained would be a good alternative too though.
What about Harebrained? Their Shadowrun games are one the best RPG's ever, writing and characters are off the charts, especially in Hong Kong and Dragonfall.
They just released Battletech last year and that seems like a good platform for DLC. I dont think they will be announcing a new game soon.
Paradox normally tries to have an announcement -> launch window of around a year, with Dev Diaries in-between to hype the game. Harebrained doesnt fit due to time constraints.
Edit: Also, Harebrained were just recently bought by Paradox, so they probably wouldnt have started to work in the game until after Battletech launched.
Edit 2: Battletech is free to play this week and has a discount so you can also buy it!

Oh holy shit Santa Monica pier confirms this is either a remake or a sequel to Bloodlines
It has not aged well visually even with mods, I'd be completely down with a remake
On their opening page, says they are hiring for multiple positions.
With hardsuitlabs and hairbrained both in Seattle, surprised that paradox doesn't st least have a satellite office here
Even if I'd prefer a sequel the idea of a remake of Bloodlines is also extremely exciting so I'm definitely on board with whatever this ends up being.
I doubt they would just release the game as is, it really does look dated today, incredible art direction notwithstanding, even with mods and insane resolutions. That screensaver looks miles ahead of what's in the game.
