Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood - 3 Forms of Gameplay Trailer
- Thread starter litebrite
- Start date
The werewolf gameplay looks so much better than everything else. The rest looks pretty unfun to me.
I was interested in this game until I saw stealth gameplay. Thanks, but no thanks. I just want to rip and tear.
Edit: Ok now I saw the werewolf gameplay. You got my interest again, game.

Jesus, that non-wolf human model is like the most generic thing ever.
- White
- Bald
- Beard
- Tatted
Game itself looks...okay?
Gotta say, playing as a werewolf is a great power fantasy but when large segments of the game are dull-looking stealth and hacking, that doesn't instill much faith.
Also, I wish the combat had copious dismemberment. There's blood everywhere but enemies themselves don't show much damage save for the extreme kills.

EGS only? Shame, it piqued my interest. You'd usually release your game on as many places as possible on PC like GOG, Steam and even EGS all together.. Ridiculous lol. They're gonna lose sales due to that despite getting that sweet money from epic. Will get it for a deep discount next year if the game is actually good enough.
Yes. Sort of. It's complicated?
I'm definitely not the arbiter of what is and isn't cultural appropriation, and Werewolf plays really fast and loose with First Nations terminology, but they also do the same thing with Pict, Gaelic, and whatever other mishmash/pastiche of early tribal terminology from a variety of races. There also exist three different werewolf tribes that are Aboriginal/First Nations (one of which is extinct in-fiction), but all the werewolves of different tribes use a common set of nouns that pick from different early tribal peoples' words/cultural things.
So werewolf doesn't exclusively lift from native culture, and it doesn't do so without representation, but it does do so haphazardly and in a pastiche sort of way.
Honestly, Crinos form should be 'Hulk: Ultimate Destrction'/4.
A werewolf in Crinos form is no joke.

These combat animations and everything about this moment is the most Playstation 2 shit ever lol. This looks really unintentionally funny.
I don't even think AA applies, it's more like a BB title, or even CC.
It's a mid-tier AA game, I think Cyanide budget went a bit down, cause honestly I think they had stronger graphics with Styx: Shards of Darkness, but I believe that Werewolf will be a ton of fun, it is not making anything new, nor i going to be A Plague Tale: Innocence, but it looks really interesting as a mindless fun game, also we get to play as a Werewolf, and I can't recall the last time I played as a Werewolf, so I'm excited for it.
And as others said, the game will be ripped off by critics left and right, but it will probably sell on the long term.

Looks fun, and with the potential to be a good WoD experience.
The 5th edition of Werewolf isn't even out in previews yet, but one of the main writers on the project is native and has talked a little about a lot of stuff changing (like various tribes, the Wendigo iirc, and I think there's no way in hell that W5 ships with the appropriation of Metis). Paradox has also publicly said they're using sensitivity readers for all WoD stuff going forward... so fingers crossed?
I still wonder how they arrived to that title...

Werewolf: The Apocalypse is the name of the pnp rpg. So it's like Dungeons & Dragons: Earthblood.
Indeed. The last edition was the 20th Anniversary Edition, which launched in 2013. Werewolf 5th Edition was initially planned for this year, but Covid gonna Covid so...
BigBen made that deal when EGS was still the hottest shit.
They seemed to have reconsidered since Spider's new game got a Steam page right when they announced it.
EGS and Nacon are generally a bad combo. Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory and Sinking City both vanished (though Sinking City is coming to Steam soon, supposedly?)
Why 2 subtitles? Don't think you need Earthblood in there. Really don't even need The Apocalypse. Just werewolf game. I'm sure SEO would still come up with this game.
Oh ok still comes off as silly!
Eh Steam pages are not an indicator whether a game will be egs exclusive or not so you never know.. but yeah sinking city vanished.. that was a bummer.
Shame that the environments and enemies look so bland for a werewolf game.. I would much rather take either a gothic setting for such a game or if modern setting, than something like Bloodlines.. military bases and grey laboratories are the most boring settings you could put your game in.. it's fine for a game like MGS or Splinter Cell, but for a werewolf game? In my opinion there isn't a worse choice than that
I think people are having a hard time remembering what PS2 games looks like.
This seems like a fun AA game. People often complain that gaming today is only AAA or small indie and that mid tier games are gone and then something like this shows up and almost everyone keeps making fun of graphics, animation or something else.
No shit most AA games are gone.

As I feared. Forced fight segments. My slim hopes of full stealth dashed.
this game is going to be so mediocre, isnt it?
its a shame, because i really love Werewolf as a property (especially compared to Vampire or Mage as the, i guess, kinda big three of the WW line?) but like... how hard can it be to make a good game for it? i mean, i suppose we have our answer, but still.
i have a little disposable income, so i might spring for it, but i really dont anticipate anything special.

I agree. Calling this AA is a overly generous. Its looks more like a B title.
Was vibing with this pretty hard until I heard the music, christ. I've gone from a def buy to probably never haha
