Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines: 2 [Gameplay Trailer]
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
Looks great. Was hoping for a release date, but the coronavirus has probably brought a lot of uncertainty to the studio, so it's understandable.
Holy fuck that looks good.
I couldn't stop laughing at the faces at the start :'D
So excited for this.
I know apples and oranges but this looks way better than vampyr.

It's an immersive sim/action rpg, so think Deus Ex/Bioshock/Dishonored and that kind of stuff.
Graphic wise,the awful looking early current gen look of the hair on the first guy dancing for example,makes this not look enhanced for anything at all lol,but the rest could be awesome...
Now THAT'S a fuckin trailer. I'm hooked (hehe)... first showing didn't have that Masquerade charm. This was drippin with it.
So this dude murders people, freezes time around them as they're dying, and takes photos.
Far? You have games with extreme dismemberment, heads on spikes and statues built of limbs.
This is pretty tame.
Sometimes makes a small timeloop of the moments of their deaths to..
Not to mention how hilariously hammy he is going about it.
Jank is a Bloodlines essential quality
you can put that on the box!
Although since its Unreal engine and not a unfinished Source engine game they will have to put in more effort to get the jank just right.
The original was using Source 2?! Man...it looked rough.
edit: Source 1. Forgot HL2 uses Source

Not watching the trailer because I don't care if the game visually looks bad, good, solid, or janky.
I really only care about the quality of writing and other stuff that isn't obvious from trailers. For me, the game will live or die by that.

Completely unrelated to the game, but the song in the trailer, why is she singing "danke shane" and not "danke schön"? Is it a dialect (or maybe austrian)? Honestly wondering.
Lol wut. Of course. Have you played Ground Zeroes? Do you now what happened with Paz?
I forget HL2 didn't use Source 2 just because it had a 2 in the name. Even still, compared to that it was rough
For reference, the trailer from last year:
They've made some really nice improvements. Like, the city itself has always looked gorgeous. But they've made nice some improvements to character models.

I'm laughing uproariously at the idea that one of the kindred doing something random and pointlessly cruel is somehow out of step with this franchise.
I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying the humanity of the victims and the serial killer prancing around his displayed victims was different than something like God of War. I think the trailer accomplished what it was going for.
edit: I have never played the first Vampire game.

Fucking Malks, this shit is Masquerade breaking.
BTW, Do we know yet if this is 5e lore?
The jank is real.
I also wonder if this is the reason why Hardsuit labs posted a few days ago an open position for a senior animator. I also wonder if this trailer was made before mocap was implemented (which they announced fairly recently, IIRC).
*chortles in Sabbat*
V5 and in canon with all the garbo that comes with it, but I've already made peace with it. I'm not mad about Giovanni being fucked over and folded into Hecata. Not at all.
Very unhyped for this game. Out of the all the ways you could hype vampire gameplay and the dialogue that the original was known for, you decide to show... alleyway brawls? Meh? The animations are definitely budget (and that's totally ok), but maybe focus on your strengths in your trailers. It's probably because the trailer is for mass market consumption, but I guess none of the media for this game has sold me on the original VtM:B tenets.
Unbelievably hyped for the game but I don't like the mood of the trailer's music. One thing that has me deeply concerned is the music direction in every trailer I've seen. When I think of what Bloodlines is, I want something dark and murky. I want whatever the 2020 version of "Isolated" by Chiasm is. And if you can't find something that works as well, just do remixes of the OG soundtrack.
One of the pillars that makes VTM:B such a cult classic is the atmosphere and so far everything they have shown doesn't give me the confidence that they are aiming for the same sinister atmosphere (with music). I hope that I am wrong and I'm pleasantly surprised at the final product.
