They just released another 20 minutes of gameplay.

>pre-alpha
I'm fine if they take another half-year to polish it. Release it around october.
Obviously it's still being made by a relatively small budget (compared to AAA RPGs) studio so somethings they just wont have the resources to do.

You can make any game looks like utter shit when it's played by a spastic retard on a controller. I don't think any VtMB fan would be put off by what we've seen so far.

Combat still looks like shit, and the disciplines, they look like MMO spells.

In my day the one rule was don't talk about Yea Forums outside of Yea Forums.

I couldn't find it with shazam or by typing lyrics so i guess it is

It's always been 100% guaranteed to be shit and NO ONE ever, EVER thought otherwise for even an instant.

And we'll still play it (if only once) anyway, because of what it is and how long we've all been waiting for it.

The best we can hope for (and this is the main thing that MIGHT even get me to BUY it) is that the modding community for it is HUGE and talented enough to fix its problems and create enough new content for it to make it worth replaying.

When the game is out.

Someone needs to ask the devs on twitter if there'll be the option to turn off quest markers and objective pop-ups.

most thinbloods won't have to worry about their progeny and announcing their presence will get them hunted and killed so they only have one rule to follow

When the game is out it's going to have 50 fucking threads a day on Yea Forums and even if the mods make a rule of "1 VTMB2 thread at a time" it'll be ignored. This is the sequel to the RPG with THE biggest cult following on this entire board. Yea Forums is going to go nuclear when this game is released.

someone have that gif of a jew vampire being repelled with a swastika?

>NO ONE ever, EVER thought otherwise for even an instant.

Game looks fine to me.

>the disciplines, they look like MMO spells

This and the "mag dump into the face that hit nothing" moment are my biggest concerns about the combat. The cartwheel/flip move also looks RETARDED, but you can tell the devs thought that was "super badass" or something. That's what happens when you let weirdos work on games.

Yea Forums goes nuclear at any release now since NEWLY RELEASED GAME IS SHIT BECAUSE DISCORD

The game looks really shit 2bh. Then again it was to be expected with Paradox.

Even though Yea Forums will latch on to it like a pitbull on a baby I don't particularly care how shitty the gameplay. The first game has the worst third-person melee combat I've played.
All I care about is the atmosphere and writing. As long as that is as good as the first game. With Rik Schaffer and Brian Mitsoda returning I hope it will be. It might not be but I hope it is.

I really wish the building across the Venture tower had something.
It just looks important

When I first played it I spent so much time trying to get in there before I realized Lacroix was in the less impressive tower next door

It looks like Underworld Ascendant. Literally the gameplay and structure of the game are identical. It even has similar interfaces and animations. And we know how that turned out.

Oof

But they were great.

>The first game has the worst third-person melee combat I've played.

If you've played more than 20 games this is an absurd statement.

>All I care about is the atmosphere and writing.
>Rik Schaffer

Allegedly they're using a combination of mostly new tracks with a few unused tracks from the original game. So even if Schaffer's lost it we'll still get a few great background music tracks.

The animations are beyond redeemable, holy shit.

Attached: 1520462714985.jpg (640x480, 44K)

Supposedly the devs intended to have a quest in the library, but didn't get around to it in time.

Other than visuals the game looks worse than the original in every aspect. I don't think some improvements are too much to ask for in a sequel that comes out 15 years later. This is just fucking embarrassing really.

Also the first game being shit in some areas is not a blank check for the sequel to be shit as well. That is a retarded argument to have.

>lengthy animations
>no real sense of rhythm
>weapons all basically swing the same
Even the first witcher was better

Unfortunately, I don't have shit standards like you, if you are going to make a sequel to bloodlines, I expect no less than bloodlines, same type of voice acting, same type of animation, same type of storytelling, same of type of combat, but, bloodlines 2 have nothing to do with bloodlines outside of the setting and title, is not a sequel, is not an improved version, nor a remake, is a shit cashgrab made but a no name studio with zero experience with RPGs, and published by one of the most greed companies in the video game industry.
>Oh but you have Brian and Rik, they will fix game
Rik already explained in past interviews he won't be able to put the same emotional catharsis in his musics because his current life is good, and they already using old tracks in the game, and Brian, from demo and the interviews, will not be close to vtmb dialog.
>But mods and the community
Mods and the community won't fix the game, because the base game is shit, the community won't have the same quality of voice actors from the first one, and I'm sure most people don't have the type of writing from the first one, and mods won't change the shit stiff animations, change the perspective of the camera, it won't allow you to create new clans, add unique interactions, at the best, will be a level editor like DUUM, you create a quests and NPCs, add to the base game and whatever.
I don't want to play Deus Ex Human Revolution with vampires, I want to play an actual sequel to Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, I don't want the shit realism close to Bloodlines.

Still superior to VTMB2, and the combat in late game was fun.

the combat in bloodlines is not the best but it was fast paced, this one jusy seems slow and """weighty"""

That's wrong though, the ARG and announcement trailer were very hype, then it went downhill when the blue hairs appeared on stage.

>Even though Yea Forums will latch on to it like a pitbull on a baby

Who's Penny? New ghoul?

It's played by a video game journalist with a controller, people should not ignore that. If you play like a drunk retard you can make the best game in the world look like shit. Remember the Polygon guy playing Doom.

Paradox employee was playing the game.

>Rik already explained in past interviews he won't be able to put the same emotional catharsis in his musics because his current life is good

That's got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read, you must be a teen

Atmosphere might be good -- if we're lucky it might even be GREAT -- but it won't be on the same level as the original. Everything we've seen so far already proves that.

Seriously, THE single biggest red flag about this game is the fact that the devs set it in seattle just because that's where THEY'RE from. That shows that they don't care about the game, its content, its history, or its fanbase. By putting it in seattle the devs have proven that they think this is about THEM and not about the game itself and they sure as fuck don't care about what their potential customers want.

The biggest issue with the combat in the last game is that it's just not skill based. Gothic has dry as fuck combat, but it's 100% skill based and you can deal with literally any problem as long as you bother to take the time to git gud. VTMB is probably physically impossible to play without regularly taking damage in combat because there's just not much skill involved at all and you don't even really have the option to improve beyond the slightest bit.

looks like a first person mod for gta

>bloodlines 2 have nothing to do with bloodlines outside of the setting and title

This.

I really wish they had called it "Vampire: The Masquerade: SOMETHINGOTHERTHANBLOODLINES". It's clearly a World of Darkness game, but it's not even based on the same version of the World of Darkness, let alone its lack of any meaningful similarity to VTMB, which means passing it off as a sequel is misleading.

thanks for pointing that out, i couldn't figure out what was off about her

>it won't allow you to create new clans

People have managed to pull this off in the original, which is a borderline miracle, so don't count that out for 2 which is literally designed to be moddable unlike the original.

This is EXTREMELY worrying if true.

>welcome to EB games

IGN and some other site confirmed the game wasn't working correctly on the booth, and Paradox sent a their video, someone posted a image yesterday.

>one of the most greed companies in the video game industry

Paradox is fucking evil. Seriously, anyone who knows the kind of shit they pull should know that this game was doomed from the start. I'd sooner trust Activision to make a polished sequel then them. They might be the single most soulless corporation in the industry.

we will have to mod out the shit song that was playing in the video and replace it with the right one

What the fuck? So it's in even WORSE condition than what they showed in the video?!

The Slugg quest they showed was good and showed lots of potential and convinced me it's gonna be good, so I'm buying the game.

Paradox is a cancer. The moment I read that they acquired the rights I lost all hope for ever seeing a decent WoD rpg.

It's pre-alpha footage, what do you expect? The game's dropping in q1 of 2020, so they'll polish it by then.

WHEN THE FUCK IS THE WEREWOLF GAME COMING OUT?

>pre-alpha footage
Can we stop with this shit already? You know full well that is not pre-alpha.

It's quite obvious how much they borrowed the combat system from Condemned Criminal Origins, from the lead pipe action to the gun system where once you expend all bullets you pretty much throw away the gun.

Plebs, long necks are kino.

Atmosphere is gone, judging by the gameplay videos.
See how he just walked out of his apartment, across the street, into an apparently 'popular' dance club that had otherwise no other environmental contextual information from the outside why it would be there. It's kind of out place. I understand the Asylum was much the same, but Asylum gave off the vibe of a seedy dive bar not some high class club, that's in the middle of an empty quiet street.

Not to mention the most important thing... the sex appeal. Sex appeal and seediness was dripping off the old game. Now it's been completely sterilized.

And that is good enough for them to actually showcase it which means it's one of the "better" parts that is "finished/working". Should be cause for a lot of concern.

Biggest red flag about this game is Paradox's involvement, I simply cannot imagine Paradox not stuffing a game with bullshit DLC.

But it said pre-alpha footage, why would they lie?

Nobody knows, but my guess is we're gonna hear more about it next year on e3 since it probably proved too much for Cyanide and they needed more time.

I'm ok with the menu music and the cinematic trailer was hype as fuck, the issue is mostly how shit and unpolished the game itself looks, the audio is completely flat and the jank is something you would expect from a game 3 years away, not 10 months.

This is why my mate calls it bloodflows instead of bloodlines

That's wrong though, I was actually afraid they would change the game up too much because of the CG trailer, the issue is how the game itself doesn't live up to the trailer at all.
You are right about the game probably ending up shit but for the wrong reasons, it was looking good until the gameplay demos.

no hes pretending

Let me give you the simplest example possible
>Group A is the size of 100 million
>Group B is the size of 1 million
100000 from each group do something bad based on each others views. Calculate the % of "people who did bad" for both groups. Sit on the results for a few minutes and think about it.
Bonus homework
Group A discourages the bad people from their group and either treats them or puts them away, while not wanting anyone else to do the same.
Group B accepts those people who "did bad" from their own group and wants more people to be like that.

It's almost as if morbidly individualistic people have such an inflated ego than they'd rather revel in their objectively mediocre intelligence and sober image (compared to those crazy people that shout on the internet) than take a stance on things

it doesn't change the fact that it's there for a reason, even the floaty ui elements are just cluttering the whole thing and are even with the whole unfitting minimalist design.

Are Nosferatu just worse Gangrel?

The point is that what you said is not true. It was mentioned once in an interview, they are not acting like it's a huge selling point. But you have to pretend that they are to justify getting outraged by such a minor thing.

it's nice to hear his voice tho.. who knows they might bring LaCroix himself back seeing as they've confirmed that some of the popular characters from 1 are back. they could just bullshit that lacroix managed to survive the blast cause he had celerity and fortitude.

You're delusional just look what they fuckin did to new collosus. Don't tell me that level design was finished and those characters were fleshed out to be nothing but progressive caricatures.

This.
Like locking you into playing as a Malkavian and get a penalty in intelligence, seduction and humanity

because nobody else wants it included
its uncomfortable and annoying

I hope they adjust the zoom. I guess they're trying to add more body language (maybe) to the conversation trees but I liked how close up the characters were. Now it feels like you're talking from several feet away and it's awkward. You'd also think they'd wanna be closer considering they're talking about vampire things.

Why would they? Twitter trannies don't play games to begin with, this is purely political pressure for the benefit of a powerful few.

Umm, because people who are trans will like being able to choose their pronouns??? Like feminine-presenting people who like using he/him or masculine-presenting people who like she/they? It's part of the trans identity??? I'm non-binary and like they/their.

The Ventrue have survived much worse. He'll be back.. At least I hope. If not then at least easter eggs or references/callbacks from previous game will suffice

Someone post the guide on how to play the original!

>>fast traveling
I can see this being okay if the made it all one big open world. The question is why on earth would you make it all one big open world even modern games struggle with that concept. the first game's hub areas worked great for what it was.

>>quest markers
Oh...
>>objective pop-ups
Oh no...

Nice cock.

based

please PLEASE be an ironic shitpost

Yeah, I hope entering a conversation with characters will lock you into a set camera angle, like with the nosferatu in the trailer someone can accidentaly block his face with a bar

It can be anything honestly, stat penalty, different interactions with the world, buffs, debuffs and so on. Saying that it's in favor of RPG elements when you don't even notice it makes it useless and only done as a way to pander to something thats popular right now for exposure. It's not made for gameplay or the player in mind, it's made to be a talking point and to fuel discussions/debates/rage and other shit.
Many RPGs offer slightly different choices even if you choose between male/female. They do impact the gameplay and dialogue options at the very least, so it's an actual RPG element. Being able to choose your pronouns without anything else is empty.

I'm beginning to understand why companies are so reluctant on showing raw gameplay footage. It looked like absolute dogshit that killed most of my interest for the game. It looked like a cheap fan project you'd find for free on the internet instead of a full-fledged sequel. How the fuck does a game from fifteen YEARS ago have better facial animations? It's absolutely baffling. And I doubt they can fix all that much in the 6-ish months they have.

/d/ would also like if you could suck huge vampire futa dicks, that doesn't mean it needs to be added, what makes your fetish particularly special?

There's a peince named Cross, his VA's back so they haven't forgotten him

There's hope

>The question is why on earth would you make it all one big open world
Im pretty sure vtmb2 uses hub system, like the first game

So theres no playable Nosferatu or Gangrel?

Well that’s the problem, they want special treatment and equality and the same time. Imagine the outrage if it had differences

No they'll be DLC later

No. They said other clans are gonna be free dlc but

That is some shitty dancing.

BOOOOOOOOOO!!

if that's the case it's even more unfortunate. Both the journal and the characters would give you directions on where to go to get to places and I've never heard of anyone getting lost in the first game (outside of maybe the old sewers but they were somewhat intentionally maze like)

Because trannies are selfish super snowflakes who need special treatment

>You lose the gun
Your lying.

Do devs think people actually like it when the camera clunkily goes third person from first person?

Attached: arrow.gif (360x202, 1.73M)

Yes? Especially when you can choose different pronouns too

HAVE NO CHOICE BUT BE

>Imagine the outrage if it had differences
Yeah .The joke is I'm not a fan of fags and yet i'd be perfectly fine with whatever tranny shit, LGBT and pronouns in the game if it affects the gameplay/story or lets you select difference outcomes. It means it adds replayability. If it has absolutely no effect on the gameplay and does nothing except a few places saying "Xir was shot in the shoulder" then whats the point. Why would anyone who likes games be okay with even more bloat in games when there's already tons of unnecessary shit. But as you said it would be hard to do to not hurt them. what if the gay character gets rejected or shunned in a cutscene.

>How the fuck does a game from fifteen YEARS ago have better facial animations? It's absolutely baffling.

That's not a problem with VtMB2 in itself though, VtMB1 NPCs had something special in their facial expressions and eyes that has not really been replicated since. I never found any RPG where you speak to someone in first person that did it better. I wasn't expecting to be impressed this time.

Why didn't they just copy the melee combat from mount and blade? Literally everyone would be happy.

HOW TO SOLVE THE TRANNY ISSUE IN GAMING
>1) Include "Tranny Mode" in the gameplay options menu
>2)When enabled, Tranny Mode will still allow you choose Male/Female but it will unlock all clothing/makeup/facial hair options for both!
>3)You are most welcome for blessing you with my insight, both trannies and normies alike!

Why does every modern dev think that every single thing you do needs to have a flow breaking animation attached to it?
>jump off a building
>no fall damage because vampires lmao
>hold on wait a minute can't let you do that without stopping the game to play a five second long landing recovery animation

I'm betting people are just going to use the new game to remake the original. Which I am a ok with.

I wonder if it was related to the third guy from Troika, Jason Anderson? Apparently he was a fucking wizard when it came to making the art come to life in game.

How to actually solve it
>Don't shove fucking political memes in your game

lol, no.

Source had really good facial animations.
youtube.com/watch?v=Bdbhr2pZUgg

It's funny how the faces are so deep in the uncanny valley and also feel the most expressive. It's like the characters are breaking the fourth wall or something. Didn't they hand animate everything? I remember watching some old video where they animated all of the vowels and stuff for mouth expressions and i think it was for VtMB.

or how about we don't conform to a group that makes up a microscopically tiny portion of humanity

but thats gay thats how we end up with things like shadowy negaHitler in hearts of iron

That's historical, not current politics.

Ugh that’s literally segregation FUCK YOU NAZI

Hey man I'm trying to be optimistic here, hopefully they'll be history soon too.

Or how about this
>Does adding anything else besides male/female affect the story in a meaningful way? Does it affect the gameplay in any way? Does it feel out of place or does the game world fit in with it perfectly?
>Yes to all?
>Add it.
>No?
>Dont add it.

That's impressive and sounds very tedious

they could copy the melee combat from mordhau for all i care

why are you so obsessed with trannies? i dont get it are they the new bogeyman? are they the new democrates? i hate americans for forcing trannies and discussing tranny positivity and negativity in here.

source not only has incredibly good facial animation, it can literally automate mouth movements based on sillable, how loud is it ecc, just feed it a .wav file and you got the basic mouth movements setup
probably frees up time to do the clean-up job

Nice

>adding a feature that takes less than 5 minutes to program and implement somehow means the whole gameplay will be worse
yeah, nah

Why should it even be implemented at all?

The original game was a massive fucking turd. Yes I unfortunately played it, and recently unlike all the people who mistakenly praise it.
Don't tell me you're one of the tranny spammers in all the VTMB2 threads.
The game is going to realease. It is going to sell well. It is going to out do your janky piece of source shit in every imaginable way and all you will be left to do is play your same fucking lame game over and over again on loop like the autistic worm you are. Go hide in your poop-hole, filthy nos.

>The original game was a massive fucking turd.
Stopped reading, kys tranny

Besides it taking much longer than 5 minutes, it also shows the developer's actual priorities.
The red flags were there but I still had hope it was just misguided pandering by a few spokespeople, but demo shows they really don't give a fuck about the game at all and only want to virtue signal.

>besides Male/Female
those are literally the only two choices I gave

I don't think that's him

>why are you so obsessed with trannies?
I don't give a shit about them at all tbqhwy but nobody else will stop seething over them
Try discussing the actual game instead, I'll wait.

>It is going to sell well
The first game didn't sell well at all and was overshadowed by a much more popular game that came out in the same day, the sequel is also suffering from being overshadowed by a popular game and the gameplay demo probably has the worst reception out of all the demos there barring pokemon.
A game doesn't sell well because it panders to demographics that don't play videogames.

He's a nozzie thin-blood. I haven't watched all the footage though, did they show any earlier gen nosferatu?

>Try discussing the actual game instead
Okay like the fact that it’s a mess pandering to trannies?

They used third party tool to animate the faces.

Cyberpunk also has trannies

>Yes I unfortunately played it, and recently unlike all the people who mistakenly praise it.
You just have a shit taste.

I see you never worked on a large coding project in your entire life. The only way it is easy if they add a singular text field and you never ever see it pop up again, besides your character creation. But if that's the case, then why even have it? Why add extra bloat into your game? There's a whole function or even a separate class dedicated just to that. In coding you want to have as little of useless stuff as possible that do nothing for your project.

Yes companies take huge financial risks to make sequels for cult hits because they want to show how progressive they are. How stupid are you? The demo didn't even have any virtue signalling so they must failed at that too.

Ya’ll are pathetic. Just because the women and allies of Hardsuit Labs want to include the trans community it’s the end of the world?

A megacorp objectifying a tranny for a power drink ad is hilarious and fits the dystopian nightmare setting perfectly.

i mean it's probably better to shitpost about the game rather than have an actual discussion about how awful it is. The devs are so incompetent that they couldn't have a crosshair that increases/decreases in size depending on your skill with guns which Deus Ex maanged to do twenty years ago, or the ai animations unironically look worse than VtMB despite that game being shoved out the door.

Cyberpunk is doing trannies properly.

wowee its almost as if the game isn't done

had to drop the first game around the sewers, and not looking too excited for this one

Bad opinions besides gameplay.

But the tranny is too attractive, trannies hate that for some reason

so make the trannies cuter with HUGE RIBBED COCKS and we're good to go?
Seems like not including Tzimisce as playable really is a mistake.

Ouch, that looks like Die Hard: Vendetta levels of jank.
youtu.be/xJYTgYiz3fs

They're butthurt because the tranny is hung like a horse and it's embarrassing, for they are dicklets.

That would be problematic you cis scum

No, it's all about context, a megacorp using a tranny for an ad is par for the course for the setting, it's not about pandering at all and actually criticizes how corporations sway public culture which is the whole point of cyberpunk, the ad is criticizing devs like hardsuit.

wow I wish I could see a small portion of .jpg and come to wild conclusions about the devs' thought process like this

I was under the impression being a thinblood didn't make you look like a nozzie?

Never ever faggot

You could just read the artists own words about it

t. Sane, un-obsessed user.
The og was carried by it's premise and voice acting, which was still very cheesy. I'm honestly starting to believe vtmb might be the most overhyped game of all time. It at least ties with Half-Life2, but overall HL2 will give you less headaches and make you cringe less.

They already directly explained it bud.
pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-art-criticized-as-transphobic-is-meant-to-reflect-corporate-exploitation-says-the-artist/
While Hardsuit exploits trannies for cookie points, CDPR makes fun of that which is hilarious since the devs also said VTMB was a big inspiration for CP2077.

CDPR isn't making fun of it, though. They're making a point about how social and mental issues get exploited by big corporations to make bigger bucks

If VTMB2 has the same issues as another Hardsuit Labs game, Killing Floor 2, we'll see this:
-long load times
-sound design issues (multiple things sound alike)
-jumping into or moving into a solid object in an unexpected way may accidentally kill you, albeit very rarely
-getting stuck on small bits of uneven scenery when you're running/jumping
-occasional crashes like once a week, and inability to report them
-melee hit/hurt boxes seem a little off

what's wrong with them though?
I mean if I'd see some F4 style yes/no/sarcasm dialog I would understand, but it looked great

Are you retarded? How does the article contradict anything? You tried to use the tranny as a gotcha even though the rationale for its inclusion is the complete opposite of what hardsuit is doing.

>she hopes that the ad will ultimately help foster empathy for the LGBTQ community among the overall videogame audience.
It sure won't, trannies got mad about it to begin with so it only exposed them further as the complete lunatics they are.

Wow it's almost as if that's the point.
Again, cyberpunk did it right, VtMB:2 did not.

>Hardsuit: You'll be able to pick your pronoun
>CDPR: LOOK AT THIS SLUT'S HUGE ROBOT COCK. CHANGE THINGS UP, BIGOT. We the devs, think (s)he's sexy as FUCK! We're standing up for LGBTQ rights by showing their struggles and how corporations explot these brave people!

>this is somehow Hardsuit going overboard and CDPR being 100% acceptable

Your fellow trannies disagree with you, they didn't like CDPR accurately portraying megacorps exploiting mental illnesses to sell products.

What's the point of making up claims and exaggerating them? Just to 'win' an online argument on an anonymous imageboard?

why did you guys even link to the article if you're just going to turn around and ignore every single thing it says?

Yes it quite literally does, not going to bother responding to you anymore since you're clearly either retarded or illiterate.

>made by SJWs
Yikes

Maybe you should go back to resetera to see what your friends thought about the ad.

>Hardsuit : Lets add tranny shit just because we need the good karma points and dunno lol who cares
>CDPR : lets add trannies because in the dystopian future everyone is exploited and it seamlessly integrates into our game and world where people are seen as cattle by corporations with shameless targeted aggressive ads

In the first case a company builds more hate towards a group because they're forcefully lumped in for no reason. In the second case, you add a world building element that people who play the game can take away and empathize more with people who are different. You literally have a setting where humans can modify their body in whatever shape they want to please their personal desires. Having trannies makes perfect sense in cyberpunk 2077. The element isn't there to appease some group of people that comment on twitter, but because it should be there. In hardsuit case, it was added to be hip and popular with the current social trend.

How hard is it to understand?

The pronoun issue is kind of pointless as it'll be more for gender queer people rather than trans. If you're trans you'd probably just play the body type you identify with have the pronoun to match. It's more that some people suspect screwy political biases to dominate their story telling focus.

CDPR didn't say anything about, 'you better change things up, bigot'. Having all sorts of gender changing and enhancements via technology fits the setting. This seems to fit fine, and isn't necessarily a sign of shying away from being anything but political preaching (aside from the traditional genre morale of 'cyberpunk is a dystopia, powerful megacorps are bad').

we're already living in that future dumbass

Either Mitsoda or Neil Ross:

Unironically didn't look that bad. The worst things were the flips and forcing you into third person for climbing and lockpicking. Although in the case of the former some people get confused if you do shit like that in first person and in the latter you could argue it's so you can see the shit around you. That aside the jank made me more optimistic. If a game is janky in places like animations and audio (the enemies were all repeating the same line) that usually (emphasis on usually) means the devs put more effort elsewhere. Almost all of my favorite games are either janky (VTMB, KCD, to some extent Morrowind) or unfinished (FNV, KOTOR 2, VTMB again)

The lack of quest markers in VTMB was mostly because the environment was memorable enough that you could figure out where to go for every task. The new hub (if it will even be a hub) looks not less distinct, but also bigger and therefore easier to get lost in

Leave Dale alone :(

I'm mad because I cared about the game, that's the problem. It just looks bad and I doubt things will improve much unless they decide to delay it which is very unlikely since delays are stock market suicide.

Same. Fact that other thin blood who could've worked as our information broker will die just so we're forced to be with Dale, triggers me even more.

Not him, but Dale attempts at sarcasm multiple times. He does it so at very start of the trailer with:

He does it multiple times when trying to explain how vampire society works. It's very awkward type of "humor" but it's there.

Meanwhile, Dale is someone we will have to suffer for MOST OF THE GAME!

We don't know that yet. Since he's a neet we'll probably see him for quests only. Then later we get a clan specific haven so again, you won't

How did you get this information?

We already know that he will play as an information broker for us. How relevant will he stay after we get clan/faction... that we don't know. However, it's obvious that he is the most relevant character at the very start and as someone who will give us the information.

>The first thing you experience in Bloodlines II is a courtroom and you're the one on trial. A bald man in a suit tells you that two weeks prior, you were created in a vampire attack and he wants to know why. A flashback shows that you were walking around Pioneer Square in Seattle when a group of vampires started attacking random citizens and siring new kindred (the series' name for vampires) without the go-ahead of a clan.
>You arrive at the pier after your first combat encounter and come across a man named Dominic. He tells you that there is something mysterious at work in the underbelly of the city and gives you an address to an apartment, but he's soon decapitated by a long haired assassin. He's also about to kill you but says that you aren't on his list and he lets you go.
>You go to the apartment where you meet another vampire named Dale. He gives you some basics on the world — that there are warring clans and that as a clanless vampire, you're in immediate danger. He tells you to stay out of sunlight and out of the way of normal humans. This is where the "Masquerade" comes in. Vampires must not reveal themselves to humans and to do so is a major violation. He gives you the key to the apartment and lets you go.

There. I tried to mix you up different interviews about how whole thing will play out.

Might be Dale's nickname that he goes by.
I mean, one of his friends apparently got his head cut off because he was... digging too deep. Dale might be using an alias as such.

Yes. That doesn't mean the nature of their past and who they originally were was set in stone. It wasn't meant to be clear if Jeanette was based on a real sister that Therese had, which personality was real, or if one or the other or both were purely a product of trauma and the effects of the Malkavian curse.

Then extra side-material comes out from apparent different writers and drops the ambiguity just to claim that the entire childhood backstory was bullshit.

Attached: pain_of_being_therese_by_lancea_dutdzu.jpg (1024x768, 128K)

Therese is most likely real by the canon itself. Mainly because her Sire, Jacob (who also suffers from split personality disorder) sired Therese, while had his tulpa personality sire her tulpa personality (Jeanette). Therese is the real one as such.

>It looks like Underworld Ascendant. Literally the gameplay and structure of the game are identical. It even has similar interfaces and animations. And we know how that turned out.

THIS RIGHT FUCKING HERE!

Why is no one talking about this? The 2 games look exactly the same! Including both being buggy to the point of unplayable! What the fuck does that tell you?

As I've heard. But I preferred simply not having a concrete answer.

Why is your character an acrobat in VTMB2?

Therese was the real one. She was sleeping with her father and killer her own mother, which triggered whole split personality disorder. Her father isn't even dead, by the way.

because they're fucking vampires

Tranny vampires*

I'm just saying it how it goes according to "canon" aka lore they put behind Therese after the game, since she didn't even exist in the original WOD lore prior it. Also, this .

obsessed

Have testosterone

I'll have it straight down my throat faggot

Well, these games don't follow actual lore much. So, you can always pretend that there... isn't an answer to it. Then, again... even the game itself implied that Therese was the only real personality.

Imagine being a vampire now, it'd be so fucking easy now that leftists have degenerated society so far that shit like exists. All you have to do to not violate the Masquerade is summon blood demons

Yeah but the tabletop lore wasn't written by the people behind the game was it? So why mess with their character backstories? Unless they consulted Brian Mitsoda or some-such.

Killing NPCs didn't break the masquerade in Bloodlines unless you used masquerade-breaking powers or fed on them. It just makes you lose humanity and gets the cops on your tail if you're spotted or too loud.

paradox games have been super moddable though?

Having watched the gameplay demos, I can safely say that I'm glad this game doesn't feature Lasombra or Tzimisce or Gangrel. The devs don't look to be competent enough to do any of them justice.

In V5 Thinbloods have Bane Severity aka clan curse at 0, meaning they don't suffer from any of their parent clan by default. However there's a character flaw they can choose where they show their sire's bane severity at one.
But again, the game isn't really based on V5 save for few metaplot elements of it.

In vtmb1, it as just random separate face animations playing randomly over time, mixed with some set poses at cetain points in the conversation. All seamlessly smoothin out into each other.

Source had a kit called Faceposer which is still head and shoulders above any non-mocap tool out there.
basically no one bothered to rival/outdo it because facial animations aren't really that marketable. if you have the budget you mocap, if you don't, well your priorities lie elsewhere anyway.
Valve used to be special kind of autists.
