>After I wake up in an abandoned Seattle building, I immediately murder a security guard—a violent statement of intent. After that, I'm in tutorial mode, accompanied by the voice in my head: former vampire PI, Fabien. Why is he in my head? Well, that's one of several mysteries that make up this surprisingly investigation-focused RPG. The tutorial is stealth-heavy and pretty standard, but once I'm out of the derelict building, things really pick up. Now I can flex my vampiric muscles.
>Right away you've got supernatural strength, speed and agility; you can scramble up buildings in the blink of an eye, glide for long distances, and pull off air-dashes. Even better: you've got unlimited telekinesis. And you better believe the team has littered the game with detritus that can be weaponised.
>Fights are a trip. After last year's big gameplay reveal, I was pretty critical of how it looked. As a viewer, it's easy to brush it all off as jerky and messy. When you're in control, though, it all comes together. That messiness becomes gleeful controlled chaos as you juggle bodies, rip out throats and use your vampiric powers to make mortals and vamps alike explode in a shower of blood. And that jerkiness reveals itself to be the snappy, rhythmic flow of battle, letting you effortlessly bounce between victims, chaining powers and kills for maximum carnage.
>I'm also pleased to say that Paradox deputy CEO Mattias Lilja's claim that "people who have seen it talk about Dishonored" is not an idle boast. It really does feel like Dishonored.

enjoy your ban, pcgaymer shill

The paywalled article says that it's very heavily focused on detective work. So while it has mechanical similarities to Dishonored, it sorta sounds more like RoboCop: Rogue City.

Seems like a shoe-in for GOTY, or at least RPG of the year.

I am not that familiar with world of darkness, but isn't that lore a little whack?

It's noncanon corpfiction

I thought Paradox and their subsidiary White Wolf decided what was canon.

>People are actually excited for the gameplay in a TCR game
I cannot imagine playing any of their previous games and being excited for this. If you like walking sims that's great (though I think even their track record on that has more misses than hits) but seeing people compare this to Dishonored is making me lose even more interest. There's no possible way the team behind A Machine for Pigs could ever make something even as 1% as tight, fun, and free-form as Dishonored

I would say that they dodged a bullet getting rid of Mitsoda, but based on the gunplay in his version the bullet wouldn't have hit them anyway.

The team who made Dishonored had a track record of making games with really bad gameplay, though.

>>714842585
oh, there's romance, and not the corny ooc shit that was in the first game where vampires were having "sex"

>mammon is god and talmudic copyright is its truth
You want to know what the layman's canonicity looks like?
When 50 years have passed and a cultural phenomenon is remembered, when people seek out that cultural phenomenon and see the actual spirit of it to show to their kids, that's what canonicity is to the layman
No one, I repeat, not a single soul will present this shit as canon nor play it nor engage with it once the phase of "get excited for next product" passes
Just like NWoD which people don't play or discuss except to mock things like Beast
Nobody plays V5, nobody engages with 5th edition (read: paradox CORPFICTION) and even the actual intern faggot writers of it have complained of getting their neck stomped by corporate paradox
It's a dead IP regardless of whatever talmudic necromancy some faggots in an industrial corporate park attempt to engage in to make an old friend's bloated, maggot filled flesh sing and dance before you
