Paradox employee here. Feel free to ask any questions about our upcoming vampire game that we teased last month with the Tender "app" reveal.
Yes, the title is going to be Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2. We acquired the rights to not just the oWoD/nWod universe but also the title "Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines".
Why are your bosses such fucking Jews? Did they buy vampire because they felt kinship with blood sucking parasites?
Parker Long
Who's going to be your tit model for vampire thots
Robert Young
where is the studio based in you guys hire interns for art assets, 2d/3d? Don't tell me to post my portfolio, just yes or no and where do I apply
John Hill
How many more dlcs for ck2
Joseph Bennett
ok i am looking forward to it, vtmb was great
Jayden Foster
Why the fuck does Australia still have the wrong PM in 1936 to War despite getting a fucking expansion based on the Commonwealth Also why are the Imperial Federation flags so bad?
Carter Evans
Why does Johan suck so much Turkish cock?
Landon Gonzalez
How much more are you gonna ruin stellaris
Kayden Myers
Will you cunts drop your DLC policy in EU4?
Carter Miller
When is it going to be revealed?
Isaiah Adams
Are traps gay?
Hunter Thomas
>We acquired the rights to not just the oWoD/nWod universe but also the title "Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines".
Your company actually bought the title "Bloodlines" from Activision just to leech off a 15 year old cult hit most people haven't heard of? I don't believe you.
Isaiah Flores
Are you of jewish descent?
Evan Jenkins
> but also the title "Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines".
Except it's Activision's still
Jose Nguyen
Why did you guys let Taleworlds go? I don't care if you would have made them make $400+ of DLC right now they are in full feature creep mode and Bannerlrod is never coming out now.
Nicholas Roberts
Hello Yea Forums, Tim Cain here. OP is a liar and sucks more dicks than I do, and by golly that's a lot!
Any other old franchises coming up again? For example Magicka?
Are there any plans to seriously overhaul and improve the "war" aspect of Grand Strategy, to (somewhat) compete with Total War?
Should we expect some ultra-huge Game-of-the-century RPG like Cyberpunk 2077/The Outer Worlds or something more contained budget wise/size wise?
Brayden Reyes
How is the gameplay gonna be? First person action game?
Also, aren't you afraid of doing an ama on a chan board after the 8ch controversy?
Brody Wright
Who was the best girl in Bloodlines and why was it VV?
Joshua Green
Probably fake. But in the off chance it's real, is anyone from Troika working on it or is it an entirely new team?
Joshua Jones
I love your grand strategy games, but the back to back DLCs suck the money out of my wallet like some currency-based vampire.
Also, I didn't know you guys did any games besides ones in the veins of grand strategies, isometrics, and and RTS. What is the genre of your upcoming vampire game?
Well basically CCP needed to get rid of the license because they hadn't done anything with it in the years that they had it and we were looking for a way to expand
Leo Jones
Can you confirm Chris Avellone wrote it?
Ian Wood
Gameplay is going to be first- and third person, basically like the first VtMB. Focus is very much on first person though. It's our biggest project to date and the very fact that we could keep it hidden for such a long time impressed all of us
Yes, we tried to attract as many Troika people as we could. We have a couple working with us full-time like Brian
Oliver Flores
Is the game going to have some political jabs like the first game did? Are you ready for people to cry 'SJW!' when you include a joke making fun of the right wing?
Hunter Butler
He wrote a ton of stuff actually on a free-lance basis and mostly dialogue
Ryder Martin
First rule when we were in pre was "do not give in to social pressure"
That's what we hung up all around the meeting rooms now to remind us every day that if we want to do the game justice, we need to stick to our principles and forget what the rest of the world might think about it.
Isaiah Davis
>Brian Mitsoda
user please stop lying, what you're doing is shameful and it's not fair to get my hopes up like this
Christian Kelly
also in the off-chance that this is real; is it true that Hardsuit Labs is developing it? how is that going to work considering their game experience consists of a f2p shooter? their history and VtMB are nothing alike
Parker Nguyen
>Tfw nobody dares to host an AMA here after the THQ debacle
Nicholas Roberts
Are you guys making a sims type game at your new branch? You hired the guy who worked on second life and some other stuff there.
Carson Hughes
Will the new game be set in Los Angeles?
Jose Jackson
A big chunk of the game will be in LA yes, you start in Santa Monica.
Isaiah Perry
This, and will you be including a gay, nigger trans-queer with a wolf spirit? Zher could be Gangrel but with a few Toreador triats, it's 2019 don't ignore me you russian troll.
Nathaniel Rodriguez
How many more DLCS for CK2 and EU4
Gavin Moore
Paradox is still my favorite AAA publisher.
Hudson Clark
I appreciate you're trying to do the game justice and the first game has become incredibly iconic but there's going to be some improvement to the combat system right? Because the combat in VtMB was a mess.
Will there be Hunters or day-time segments? Unpopular I know but I've always felt a day-time segment would be interesting as it would force the player into the sewers and make the timing of missions a priority.
Oliver Miller
When the fuck is Vicky 3 coming out. Jesus christ in heaven stop fucking around with the lesser franchises and make Vicky 3!
Oliver Lopez
How big are you guys trying to make the world? GTA V, Skyrim sized? Will it be a small main hub with mission area like the first game or a huge open world where all the levels are ingrained in the world design in someway?
Ryder Ward
What is going to be the future of the magicka series? I’m dropping your games if it’s canned
As someone who actually went to Stockholm and tested your top down tabletop vampire game not named VtMB in really early alpha last year, it probably still needs work.
>We acquired the rights to not just the oWoD/nWod universe but also the title "Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines". no you didn't lol, Activision refused to sell it. This isn't even private info, it's public. OP do some fucking research fuck sake.
Brandon Cox
smell fake as fuck but I'll bite is the game going to be set in the late 200s or in modern times? will the game feature a fuck ton of dlc like many paradox games do? is it a new formula or is it going to follow up on the originals ideas? if the game is a success, are we going to see games based on the other parts like werewolf and hunter?
Juan Sanders
Vic 3 WHEN?
Isaiah Carter
Does the company make employees work in English or in the native country tongue?
Parker Perez
hey retard tell your dev studios to fucking make a Neutral Country expansion for HOI4 (where a "neutral victory" state is possible for historically neutral countries during WW2 like Portugal, Spain and Switzerland) and tell them to HAVE 2 FUCKING CONSULS IN IMPERATOR ROME, HOW CAN YOU FUCK THAT UP PEOPLE FUCKING LOVE THE POLITICS AND INTRIGUE IN CK2 AND YOU REFUSE TO PORT THEM TO IMPERATOR ROME, THE LITERAL PERFECT SETTING FOR IT HOLY SHIT
Wyatt Morales
>HAVE 2 FUCKING CONSULS IN IMPERATOR ROME, HOW CAN YOU FUCK THAT UP You gotta leave something for the DLC, that's just how game industry works user
Where in that article does it mention they bought the title "Bloodlines" for commercial use? Oh wait, it doesn't, because Activision didn't sell it. Fuck off larper.
Luis Martinez
Test
Jayden Barnes
does the whole SJW politics come up at all or is it a meme?
Matthew Cook
You can't say kebab on the forums because it is "offensive", what do you think.
Alexander Murphy
Is Johann a white supremacist and does he force employees to wear uniforms on Fridays?
We've made a shortlist when we were brainstorming about the shortcomings of the first one and yes melee combat certainly was the biggest one that came to mind after the team got to play vtmb. It's one of our main focuses.
There will be human hunters and no daytime segments. We didn't want another backlash like CDPR got.
Xavier Stewart
>>Funcom about to rape Dune ?
Oliver Howard
We took a lot of inspiration from Mass Effect 1, Deus Ex,DXHR and of course the first VtMB concerning the hubs.
We want to make them as packed as all of the hubs in the above games so there will be a shitload of side quests and just general things you can do. A load of (voiced) characters out and about as well that you can pretty much all interact with.
Elijah Gonzalez
Will you be able to form Byzantium?
Joshua Ortiz
not really an AAA publisher but I agree
Sebastian Evans
hey faggot tell the HOI4 team to stop browsing /gsg/ if they arent going to remove mana memes from their games
Parker Stewart
>haven't played vtmb in a few months >dream that i pulled something out of my back pocket >it's a picture of the asylum club with isolated lyrics written on it guess i have to play it again now
Austin Cooper
Assuming this is true, aren't you afraid of the possibility of negative press from an AMA on Yea Forums? I mean, look at what happened to THQ Nordic just this past week.
Anyway, like your games and stoked for that Rome one you have coming out.
Wyatt Moore
>OP is a liar and sucks dicks
gee, really? I think it is completely plausible that a paradox employee supposedly in the know about wod would make the mistake of talking about them having acquired a license for a wod game when in fact paradox owns the entirety of white wolf publishing, all their ip, and all associeated rights to games, digital or otherwise.
almost as believable as a blizzard employee bemoaning the fact that activision bought blizzard.
Isaac Young
How many DLC?
Chase Bailey
Post proof or /thread.
Nobody should be posting anything but copies of this comment.
Will the story follow the first one's? Where will it take place?
Hudson Hughes
>i made sure we included it somewhere in vtmb2 Activision most likely wouldn't sell the rights to VtMB, most big companies never sell that stuff. You're a faggot.
That song is fantastic though, and so is the rest of her music
Have you heard of an artist who used to work for CDPR called Outstar? She's Polish. She'd be a good asset to have on your art department, if you needed more people.
Jack Bailey
Brian is busy with his own studio in Seattle and Leonard has been working on Outer Worlds at Obsidian.
Ethan Smith
How many clans? Will Toreador have celerity? How does upgrading work, like the first? Will there be spooky moments like the haunted house? Will we get a cute ghoul waifu? Will you clear up if Cain was the cab driver?
I think Outstar was invited to the event in SF Tender is holding on the 21st. She's on the radar probably.
Gabriel Hall
On the other hand, VilleneuveKino is in production.
David Thompson
All these ridiculous answers and not a lick of proof. This is just someone getting off on roleplaying taking advantage of the new surge of interest Vampire is getting.
Xavier Hernandez
How many other WoD splats will be included or referenced? Obviously Hunter has to be included in some form.
Josiah Watson
Please answer this one. I love CK2 and is my most played Steam game. Tell your bosses that we will buy your DLCs like good goys. I am enjoying Holy Fury.
Luis Davis
I don’t care if this is a larp.
OP, if you are actually a Paradox employee, thanks for making good pc games. You’re pretty much the last decent studio out there.
Jace Lewis
OP IS A MASSIVE FAGGOT FUCK YOU OP GO AND FUCKING KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT
PDX DLC is unironically a good one, where else do you see continued support for 6+ year old games to this extent without them. The real problem is the fact so many of them are pretty crap. Would unironically prefer up to 30-40 dollar DLCs if they were made with more substance once every year or so.
