Its going to be awful I can already smell how bad its going to be.

The Nictuku exist solely to hunt the gremlins down as instructed by Absimiliard.

Sad that they have not surpassed Valves face poser technology yet. Even if they mo-cap it, it does not look nearly as dynamic. VtMB does not even utilize the technology to its fullest, probably because Source was so new back then.

Beckett style.

Who hurt you

Have sex

They were offended for a while and finally decided to make a game about being offended.

Nossie papa is mad because he is ugly, and he hates anything related to him because he is ugly, so he embraced a broken child into a rampaging death machine.

Source engine is the best currently avalible tech to do this stuff extremely fast and at zero cost.
Literally anybody can do it, I messed around in Hammer myself with no knowledge at all.

I believe the expressive facial animation was an influence from Tim Cain, he believes NPCs should be overly expressive to easily give information to the players.

I like the devs, but I loathe Paradox. They'll ruin the game.

He's not involved in this though, is he?

this has about as much of a chance of being good as the netflix witcher show, wew fucking lad.

No, he is working with Obsidian in Outer World

You do realize that if there is a 16 years gap between two games, it does not mean they have been actually WORKING on the sequel for those 16 years, right?

Toreador otherwise

they're god awful.

I have a pet theory that their reputation still outshines their performance because most people who buy their games are sold it on memes and don't invest any time to see the experience themselves. before steam spy was blocked from getting the data, you could see a game like CK2 having an average total playtime of about 30 hours... and the median total playtime at about 4 hours. So some people who do play it a ton and skews the average, while most finish the tutorial then post "lmao I murdered a royal." Stellaris had huge average playtime numbers though, they definitely know that casual is their audience, and they are going to pump that brand out forever now.

Well VtMB seems to be picking up in popularity now, it might help get more people interested in the subculture.

Source had run-of-the-mill blendshapes for facial animations, which are now available in almost every engine, including Unreal. The animations were great because the artists were damn good, not because of the engine.

>It’ll be full of le ebin XD call backs to its predecessor and constant slurs at American right wing politics.
I doubt it. I think what's more likely is we'll see a game that more or less just retreads some of the shit from the first game, but in a far less original and creative style, because devs seem to be more and more creatively bankrupt as time goes on. There may be some jabs at American right wing politics but I don't think it'll take up much focus at all. The experience will just be kind of bland, which kind of reflects what WoD has become anyway.

are goths still a thing?

I just thought about it and realized that was a dumb question, anyhow. He was probably just leaving messages to avert suspicion that he'd seen Carson prior to his disappearance, just in case Carson had informed anybody of his plans to visit Gimble's Prosthetics.

Well now I have to post it

embarrassing

Of all the franchies to want to be a vampire in, this is pretty much the worst one. Even Bram Stoker vampires had a shit ton of a happier time with their unlife than these vamps.

Yeah, just even less common now. Although a city near me regularly holds goth events, and I think it's still a bit more popular in Germany.

I kind of hope it combines with cyberpunk in some way and evolves to get people interested again. I always liked it and I know a lot of people are saying they miss it.

Why the fuck would someone fuck a Nos in the intro?

lots of alcohol

It's about simplicity.
Sure other engines are capable of the same or even better, but you need to have the skills to pull it off thus we never see it done well unless it's mocapped.
In source you literally type in works in a text file and make some slider adjustmens in the timeline here and there.
It doesn't get much simpler than that.

How does the WoD set in other parts of the world. this American shitshow makes me wish the game would take place in Eastern European shithole with tracksuit Brujah, woodland gangrels and parliaments filled with malkavians

Kind of makes sense since technological progress hasn't resulted in big leaps like it did from 1994 -> 2004, so the endless sequels just fall from the peak. That's why I have a bit of hope in virtual reality even if it's not great yet.

Honestly I'm just hoping for lots of branching dialogue based on your background and choices and the ability to use speech to bypass things in interesting ways a good percentage of the time. I know it won't nail the atmosphere of the first game even though it has a lot of the same talent there but I'm not entirely hopeless. I honestly love the setting and I'm a fan of most the lore changes brought forward in V5

All the paintings in Lacroixs office are some variation of the first murder

Second Inquisition and Camarilla hierarchy being shaken up is a good change to stop everything from stagnating. Maybe less so Lasombra, Assamite and "The Ministry" having their allegiances moved about.

did he get the punan?

>Second Inquisition
Is a shit idea and poorly executed
The only reason it was done was to give the character in this video game mook enemies to fight, mark my words.
>Camarilla hierarchy being shaken up
Again, stupid fucking idea, only done so your super speshul thin blood can become prince of seattle or whatever

>tfw no heather gf
Even with so much vampire cleavage, the times I get the hardest is when heather says she loves me.

You're a genuine dicksucker

Idiotic criticisms really. Both things have stopped Vampire society from being boring and unchanging and makes the Camarilla more accessible and desirable for young vampires which tend to be the player characters in the p&p. I don't see either of your dumb ass predictions happening.

The camarilla being impossibly difficult for young vampires to break into was the entire POINT
God, I bet you also want to make the Sabbat cuddly and friendly so players don't feel bad joining it

the feeling aren't genuine, it's just the vampire blood compelling her to think that she does love you

>There may be some jabs at American right wing politics
I think everybody expects that, they're just worried that it's going to be more invidious than the odd quip about Bush or registered Republicans.
Your opinion on whether or not that's a valid concern may vary, but given the political climate and the quality of commentary and satire its producing, it's not difficult to see where that concern stems from from.

the story will come out of some kind of macropolitical conflict. what are possible actors?
>camarilla + infighting
>anarchs
>sabbat + infighting
>variations on abrahamitic religion in vampire form (Assam and sword of cain)

and they removed the azns right?
so who's most likely to be running seattle by default? it is far from the stronger cammy areas right? it's far from everything.

Didn't they say tech vs tradition is part of the story? I'd kind of like to see the Technocracy and Black Spiral Dancers or other more in-depth werewolf stuff involved, which it looks like we'll get because of the Season of the Wolf DLC.

replace vampire blood with money and its just like real life.

>Didn't they say tech vs tradition is part of the story?
cool that fits well imo. fitting for our times and obvious factor in a society of centuries old individuals.

Yeah, I had been hoping that would be in a possible sequel long before the announcement after I read a little bit of the World of Future Darkness stuff. Goth + a bit of scifi/cyberpunk would be nice.

How come the facial expressions are so much better than literal current year AAA shit?

a cashgrab 1 year in the jewing.

Partially and also that current games fell for the mocap meme which either looks bad or just boring.

Anyone have that image of what I expected vs what I played for vtmb?

I think its because devs are trying to make faces as realistic as possible and end up falling into the uncanny valley. Older games were limited by technology and the design idea was different so it wasn't that jarring.
