Let's talk about Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2.
>After Hardsuit Labs were fired for making a "fucking disaster" Sumo Digital offered to take over the project, but they pushed the project onto their subsidiary The Chinese Room because they are viewed as a kind of prestige studio. No matter what anyone tells you, TCR did not volunteer for Bloodlines 2.
>Paradox read the pitch that TCR put together, and really liked it. But they wanted the game done quickly, so set a 2 year timeline. (This is why Paradox suggested it could release in 2023. That was the original plan.)
>TCR's version recycled assets from Hardsuit's, but is essentially a completely different game.
>They did not meet the unrealistic two year timeline, but Paradox liked how the project was coming along and gave them more time to refine the vision.
>The first major gameplay footage was shown in Jan 2024, and while there was nothing specifically wrong with it, it looked kind of jank. Major systems like the open world were not functional at this time so they only showed the interior of a single warehouse.
>Game delayed from Q4 2024 to mid-2025 for rewrites and design alterations in response to community feedback. The number of endings was increased, Fabien was rewritten from a thinblood to a Malkavian, guns were reintegrated as Superhot-style temporary upgrades that could be thrown, the combat was refined with enemy counters, blood magic mechanics, etc. stuff like that.
>Game delayed from Q2 2025 to October 2025 for polish.
>PC Gamer have been given hands on, but no other outlets yet.
>Game's tone is noir, with a heavy focus on being a vampire detective/investigator/sheriff. The soundtrack is noir-oriented, but the music Rik Schaffer wrote has been recycled into the new version.
>Studio's B team have delived Still Wakes the Deep and its expansion in the meantime (it came out today), indicating that they're not completely dysfunctional.

How about we DON'T? Cocksucker.

>>712993424 (OP)
Huh, PCG still exist? Also, I haven't heard about Bloodlines 2 in ages

>>712993509
>Two Vampire Clans, Camarilla and Anarchs
So does this mean I can't be a Malkavian?

>>712993907
how stupid are you?

>>712993907
It's a typo because they copied the text box from the other page that talks about the game's clans. And no, you can't be a Malkavian. The decision to rewrite the voice in your head, Fabien, from a thinblood to a Malkavian, is probably them trying to pander to Malk fans.

>>712994151
How stupid are you? Camarilla isn't a clan, yet it's posing it as if it is one. My question is valid. If they were mentioning clans, they would have brought out a list with Nosferatu, Malkavian, Brujah, etc. but they didn't.

>>712993794
>Also, I haven't heard about Bloodlines 2 in ages
There's been a pretty much non-stop stream of updates for the past year. They stopped releasing updates when they announced the delay to October, but the reality is that the dev diaries have covered pretty much every aspect of the game imaginable. There isn't a whole bunch left to say.

The new Still Wakes the Deep expansion has 93% positive reviews on Steam so far.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3465690/Still_Wakes_the_Deep_Sirens_Rest/
I wonder how high the reviews on Bloodlines 2 can reach. Is 98% possible? This is probably going to be the kind of RPG that completely redefines what people think an RPG can be, so...

>>712994317
Nice, only 4 options. I guess it's better than nothing, and I've come to expect nothing with how much this has been in development hell.

The Chinese Room is possibly the worst fucking developer you could hire for a game that's succeeding Bloodlines, they don't do mechnically heavy games.

>>712996270
Eh, I remember when people complained about Silent Hill 2 being given to the team behind Layers of Fear.

>>712996270
>they don't do mechnically heavy games.
While that is true, PC Gamer claim that the combat they played was fantastic.

>>712997626
Combat in Bloodlines was jank as fuck, the game is revered due to its atmosphere, writing and arguably most important, hub zones. I don't see Bloodlines 2 not being linear to a hard degree, but I'll read the article I guess.

I would have made a great sequel. It would be full of sexy vampire women you could fuck. Lots of hunters outfits from nwod you could fight. Overarching plot was to stop a wizard from making an artificial female Cain but it turns out he used your sister as the base material and parts of her are still intermittently aware. Also your sister wants to fuck you

No game will ever emulate the feeling VTMB managed to evoke

I know it will probably not be a masterpiece but I'm actually hyped for this game. Vtmb is my favourite game and while I know this will not be even close to that in terms of quiality of writting, I think it will be fun. Also, can´t wait to listen to Rikk Shcaffer's new songs.
I'm trying to be positive.

...anon, I... Mitsoda was booted from VTMB2 in 2020.

>>713001374
Yeah because it was a horrible abomination of a game.

>>712995806
I liked the base game but did it really need a DLC? The story was pretty well concluded and a prequel feels pointless since a part of the fun of the story was it being kinda vague

>>713000101
They rewrote him because everyone hated his lines from the gameplay demonstration, the goal is to make him less obnoxious.

>>712993424 (OP)
Remember how they scrapped clans because it was "Problematic" so now you play as a gay ass thin blood because segregation is bad.

>>713002263
the game was an unexpected success so of course they have to pump out some pointless dlc to siphon off more money

Can you finally make your own character or at least choose clans or is the MC still some weird sexless enby

>>713003005
Anon that was Hardsuit's Bloodlines 2, written by Brian Mitsoda
TCR has you play as an elder from one of 4 clans waking up with the voice of a young vampire in your head.

>>713003294
There's a male version, but they're trying to do that thing where they only market the female protag.

>>713002571
Did they change the protagonist to be an actual man and an actual woman instead of a non-binary abomination that looks the exact same no matter the sex?

As if you should even entertain the notion of listening to PC Gamer.

>>713003649
I know there is a male version, but he is pretty much the same as the female version, hence the question if they changed that already.

>>712999872
unlikely

>the combat they played was fantastic

WOAH, you mean the studio that has only made fucking walking simulators managed to make a walking simulator?!?!?!?!

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING, I AM NOW EXTREMELY HYPED FOR THIS GAME THAT LOOKS LIKE A COMPLETE PIECE OF SHIT!

>b-but they didn't want to make it!
I don't give a fuck, they should have intentionally sabotaged their pitch so their owners decided not to give it to them
this is like a plumber saying "my boss told me to fix his car even though I don't know how at all, so I'm going to make it look like I'll be perfect for the job!" and then acting surprised that people who drive cars say it looks like a piece of shit that they have no interest in whatsoever

fuck TCR, they ruined Amnesia and now they're going to ruin VTMB, they can fucking die for all I care, they've NEVER made a good game

>>713006013
>this is like a plumber saying "my boss told me to fix his car even though I don't know how at all, so I'm going to make it look like I'll be perfect for the job!" and then acting surprised that people who drive cars say it looks like a piece of shit that they have no interest in whatsoever
This makes no sense.

>>712997626
PCGamer is a fucking shell of its former self

if the guys who wrote the magazine back in the 90's could see the fucking terrible articles the troons and faggots they hire there put out now, then they would shut the company down before it could ever become that

>>713004752
Yes.
It means they're actually repeating political conspiracy theories as if they're both true and a good thing.

>>713006256
boss = sumo digital
plumber = TCR
car = VTMB2
making it look like they would be perfect for the job = "Paradox read the pitch that TCR put together, and really liked it"
people who drive cars = anyone who actually likes video games

This wasn't hard, but I'm guessing fans of TCR's writing are a bit too simple for metaphors, so I'll dumb it down for you: they are going to make a shit product and they should have known this from the beginning, to the extent that they should have made a terrible pitch so it wouldn't be given to them.
We only had ONE chance at getting a VTMB 2 and these stupid faggots are going to ruin it and kill the IP out of ego because they thought they were better than they actually are

That makes more sense than your retarded metaphor, but it's still a terrible fucking idea, as sabotaging their pitch would sabotage their whole studio in the process.

>>712993424 (OP)
not starting as a neonate literally kills any desire to play the game

The Hardsuit version looked more like a real sequel to VTMB, they should've just rewritten it

>>712993424 (OP)

>>712993424 (OP)
>Studio's B team have delived Still Wakes the Deep and its expansion indicating they're not completely dysfunctional.
Still Wakes the Deep destroyed solidified my opinion that TCR don't have a fucking chance.
What tiny amount of gameplay it has is so fucking arbitrary that it's 100% the most walking simulator game i've ever played. The main character keeps reminding everyone he's an electrician, but then all the mindlessly tedious puzzles revolve around turning valves on plumbing.
About all I can hope for at this point is they get the atmosphere ok

>>712993424 (OP)
Still Wakes the Deep was shockingly good. Was it really done by their B team? How does their back up team deliver something like that while the main guys develop this janky mess?

>>713006013
Womanly sperg out.

>>712993424 (OP)
I know /v/ loves to clown on this but I'm still coping that it could be ok.
It won't be a real bloodlines sequel, but it could still be fun.

>>712996270
I'm willing to let them cook/give them a chance.

But I don't think ANY studio, TCR or not, can make Masq. 2 a success. The game was announced nearly a DECADE ago and STILL isn't out and has gone through THREE DEVELOPERS and REBOOTED THREE TIMES.

It's the newest Duke Forever. If Paradox shits it out this year, I'll be honestly surprised.

>>713010925
>But I don't think ANY studio, TCR or not, can make Masq. 2 a success.
I actually think that CDPR could maybe have a 50/50 shot at making a good VTMB game. They would just need to make Cyberpunk but with a vampire theme and not make the same mistakes that they did with CP2077.

>>713007627
HSL version focused too much on RPG elements and not enough on gameplay.

TCR version is focusing too much on gameplay and not enough on RPG elements.

If only they could have fused together somehow.

The CEO of Paradox said not long ago that it's basically a hail mary kind of situation because they have already spent so much money that they now just want to get it out there and be done with it. He also said that if there ever is a Bloodlines 3, it won't be from them, they will just "lease" out the IP instead.

I cant imagine in what state it actually is, when you just want to get it over with and you cant even throw it out. This is the same paradox who releases a clearly unfinished game, then sells you back piece by piece through dlc.

The tiniest bit of curiosity for this game shriveled up like my dick during ice swimming the instant I read this part. Modern writers need to get publicly diablerized.

You gotta be joking bro

>>713015251
It's some weird reddit writing style, definitely off-putting. Also I'm quite sure having a Johnny Silverhand dynamic is not a good idea.

>>713016274
Nta, and it's obvious which is which, but you can't pretend they didn't try and obfuscate it as much as possible. No boobs, ambiguous outfit, same facial structure. This is troon shit all over.

>>713016639
Oh i absolutely agree the woman looks like shit, i'm just also saying the man is very clearly a dude and no amount of troonness in the woman can obfuscate that.

>>713016639
There is no denying that. I don't know much about this british developer but they seem to adhere to all that troon shit. Actually WoD in general appears to appeal to troons for some reason now that I think about it.

It might be the feeling of being an outcast making them relate to kindred?...except Kindred are not really outcasts at all.
Perhaps it is simply the desire to be uniaue yet have a community to belong to.

>>713016530
Everything about this game feels like they got the idea 5+ years ago and then just couldn't adjust when even the normalfags turned against this shit since then.

Rowling makes up for her singular good stance by being a complete fifth column cunt on every single other issue.

>>713017514
>even the normalfags turned against this shit

Is there really a trend against "woke" right now in videogames? I'd be happy if it was the case but I haven't seen any indication of that. I mean, their steam discussion is always plagued with people taunting them about which PC is the male or the female, but till now they always end up banning those comments. Sticking to their guns.

>>713017890
I'm not even talking about wokeness, but the tired tropes and millenial quippy writing this game seems desperate to emulate.

>>712999809
Sweaty with stubble.

>>713018000
I guess you're right then. That style of writing is considered extremely cringy and ridiculed by pretty much everyone. Quirky chungus "OMG did I just do that?!?!?" dialogue is frowned upon (as it should be).

>>713017514
The BG3 tadpole was hugely popular though, there is no big turn against talking headmates just yet.

>>713004167
1. People were predicting that they'd use the same model because the "female" model was already androgynous as fuck and they refused to show anything about the supposed male model that totally existed for the longest time.
2. When they begrudgingly had to reveal the actual male model they still look like 90% the same so the criticism about the models being off puttingly androgynous still applies and reveals their ideological leanings.

To be fair, that specific line is written by a PC Gamer journo, not the devs. It's probably going to be lame and gay anyway, but that line is not the reason why.

>>713019129
Huh? I tought the Call Of The Night manga had ended.

>>712993809

Retard who ignores every single red flag

>>713018941
Blame the devs, they're definitely been cultivating it by the way they've presented Pyre. Even trying to find the source has been mostly bullshit random forum discussions whining about it.
I'm happy to admit I was wrong but the fact that I generally follow the games news since announced and I wasn't sure is kind of concerning.

>>713019336
Wait I didn't actually bother to read PCGameShit's article. Can you actually romance Lou?

I just want a V20 CRPG with character creation and the ability to choose between sabbat, cammies, or anarchs to approach the same main story from different directions. Just your basic ass CRPG without these dumbass johnny silverfang gimmicks.

>>713019287
looks to be a spin-off?

Yeah, I don't know about the rest of the people working there, but if they are anything like their HR and Marketing departments that would explain the troon nonesense

>>713019729

>>713020183
Yeah a stinking turd

>>713020183
They probably won't. I'm not telling you to stop being positive or that you are a retard like the other anon is saying, but you should manage your expectations. Blindingly buying shit trusting "they will deliver" is what's gotten us to the current state of the industry

>>713020283

bros Im scared what DEI will do to this game

>>713020631
they will probably actually deliver an average to good experience, but if you are expecting a actual vtmb2 that will never occur unless they somehow rope in more of the scattered troika team, or toss the project to obsidian.

Shut the fuck up you retard. How it should work is that in response to people being doubtful and distrustful of the devs, as they fucking should, the devs should go "You know what? We're going to make the game as good as we possibly can to show the people that we can make a product they'll enjoy." Trust is earned, not given.

>>712993424 (OP)

kek, that being said I did like the walking sim of A Machine for Pigs. I expect this game to deliver on atmosphere even if all else is trash.

>>713024858
I would but it's old and the clunkiness is kinda, you know

>>713024582
yeah and look how great did that turn out. the dick sucking vtmb gets is unreal, they nailed the atmosphere and the world but the gameplay sucked balls. its too expensive to make the clans distinct enough these days too.

>>713025075
Vtmb has basically become an autism simulator let's be real.

>>713025127
It's worth it nigga. The writting, the music, the vibes. You'll forgive the clunkyness, believe me.

>Don't open it

I don't trust any modern developers to capture the unabashed sexual titillations of Vampire.

Huh?? What the fuck???
You mean to tell me the Hardsuit Labs version had more playable Clans?

Look I get that thechineseroom's forte is writing and they're doing a damn good job of actually moving away from walking simulators but can't they give it another year so the game has, say, at least 7 clans or however many Camarilla clans there are in V5? This decision had to have come from higher up, this is an elder vampire that faded into myth for fucks sake, I don't think the studio would shy away from letting said vampire be anyone, even if it was too snowflakey or unicorn-y like a Salubri

Don't fucking tell me Paradox threatened to yank the game out of their hands if it took too long again

>>713027740
and there'e one goth chick, can't go wrong with goth chicks

>>713028851
'uck on 'eck

>>713028928
Now that I think about it, Paradox probably had an allergic reaction to what Hardsuit did because >>713011301 and then started telling every dev studio who wanted to work on this game to overcorrect or else

>>713028606
That is fair. Modern devs are too afraid of sexuality, of femeninity, and of backlash.

>>713017176
UK is fairly sensible on the troon question if literally nothing else.

>>713028928
>can't they give it another year so the game has, say, at least 7 clans
That's kinda the plan.
They intend to release the game with 4 clans, and then sell the others as DLC over the next year.
They left out the most popular choices for assamites instead for a reason.

>>713029587
Well I hope that gamble pays off for them, but it really feels like the curse of Caine just follows the Bloodlines subtitle

>>713014048

>>713029813
I thought the middle guy was Todd Howard
just let Todd make another Bloodlines in Creation Engine, see how it goes

>>713029761
>It is the blood of Caine which makes our fate

That is to say... perhaps they were always meant to fail. The wrong developer for the wrong project.

she looks like that one christian girl from Life is Strange

>Ahem, I'm a programmer btw...
What does it feel like developing a game for a fanbase full of faggots like this?

>>712993424 (OP)
>only four clans
>brujah the fucking designated antifa clan that was revealed first and obviously pushed as the canon because it's the BLM rioter clan and everyone's fucking gay and retarded now

>tremere decent choice with their unique powers and aren't a political hot button issue just wizard nerds
>FUCKING ASSAMITES INSTEAD OF MALK OR TOREADOR OR FUCKING ANYTHING ICONIC WHAT THE FUCK
These devs are retarded faggots

it was shown off as the "retarded meathead" build compared to the greater complexity of everyone else.

>>713032870
>no malk
The devs have already stated they won't touch Malk as is, because it's offensive to actually crazy people.
Fabian, malk in the game, is neutered.

>>713033267
He was the best Brujah and wasn't a one sided commie Anarch unlike the others

straight up homie throughout the game its also cool he's voiced by Bender and Jake from Adventure time

>>713033910
The window's shifted from those days. Even the commiest anarchs like VTMB Damsel would call modern commies retarded.

>>713034749
I wanted to fuck Damsel so bad back then holy shit

>>713034992
I her to fuck me as she yells at me calling me a Cammie

>>713034992
She was bitchy done right, impossible to find in Current Year.

How likely is a Bloodlines 2 release this year? IIRC, there were no new trailers at SGF or the Xbox/Sony events.

I still listen to Santa Monica at night, and the radio.

I should make my own
should be easier than finding players with the same vibe
