World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs

[Life of the Party]

That was the Camarilla sourcebook for V5. I posted it because it mentions Tender.

I don't think it's a remake.

 

[2menLeefs]

The diversity in this game is gonna be off the charts! Cant wait.

 

[ColonelTeacup]

He is talking about the boss fight in the Hallowbrook Hotel.

Yes, the mansion that you find by using the snuff videos in hollywood. That's exactly what I said.

 

[Safav Hamon]

VtM:B needs a remake. The horror sections aged like shit.

 

[Delterius]

If there turns out to be a remake in the works, we all know what is going to happen.

There will be those that assume the worst -- console friendly horror shooter with all new shooter parts and corridor cutscene syndrome.

There will be those that assume the best -- actually just bloodlines with updated graphics, better non facial animations, better combat animations and the overall vision for the game finished at long last with giving each clan halfway the customization that Malkavians got and etc.

IE, 'Remake' X 'Remaster' I guess.

We'll argue and bitch about it for a few years until the truth turns to be somewhere in the middle. Hopefully more towards the latter than the former.

But, sadly, this whole scenario is the best case possible. Odds are these are just teasers to another bowl of nothing coming the way of urban fantasy RPGs. Or, hell, these are just generic teasers to ~World of Darkness~ and the already announced furball interactive movie from cyanide.

Time to go back to sleep friendos.

There is literally no point to a generic console action crap because VtM:B's reputation is built entirely on atmosphere and writing.

That means nothing. Did anyone play FO 1 and 2 like an action crap? Yet look at what we got in FO3.

 

[Okagron]

Played it last year and i completely disagree that it needs a remake. It still holds up quite nicely, plus i'm getting sick and tired of remakes honestly.

 

[FreeKaner]

I played it quite recently as well, the only problem with game is the melee combat sucks. Just stealth and shotgun when you can't is best way to play it.

Regardless, the game was not about combat and there is no point to a remake. Remakes are nostalgiafaggotry in their worst for anyway, if something is deserving of a remake it doesn't need one.

 

[Viata]

Remakes are nostalgiafaggotry

Wrong. The people who want to play the old game, would just play the old game. The people who want remakes are those that don't want to play old games because it's old. There is no nostalgiafaggotry here. See:

He wants to play the game, but only the remake and not the original.

 

[Roguey]

And does anyone play it like a shooter at all?

I have, once in Hollywood when it finally gives you decent guns to use.

 

[Storyfag]

Time to go back to torpor friendos.

FTFY

 

[Okagron]

And does anyone play it like a shooter at all?

I did it in my first playthrough and the shooting isn't bad. Guns feel nice to shoot with, like the Colt Anaconda, and this is probably all attributed to the Source engine, which is a pretty good engine for shooters in my opinion.

I agree. Bloodlines is one of the few games where graphics and animations don't really matter, because writing, story, characters and atmosphere are much more important! So what would a remake bring besides the chance that they mess some of the good parts up?

 

[Safav Hamon]

Atmosphere can be improved with modern graphic, animation, and sound design.

VtMB has so many levels that didn't age gracefully, and are now more funny than scary.

 

[Lacrymas]

There is nothing more destructive to atmosphere and aesthetic than modern 3D.

 

[Nano]

Bloodlines is one of the few games where graphics and animations don't really matter

It's not just that. Bloodlines still looks good, the animations are great even by today's standards, the controls and mechanics aren't any less accessible than they were in 2004. Normies today don't have any problems getting into Bloodlines, so a remake is pointless.

Atmosphere can be improved with modern graphic, animation, and sound technology.

Audio tech in video games has literally not advanced since Bloodlines was released. Not that there's anything wrong with its sound anyway.

 

[HansDampf]

Remake in Unity engine. More polygons, but less expressive faces. Better sound quality, but worse soundtrack and mediocre voice acting. Combat still sucks. Console UI. Game will be split into episodes. Can't wait.

If you're referring to Redemption, it's 2000 Diablo-style jank.
