World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 - VTMB sequel from The Chinese Room - coming early 2025

[Laz Sundays]

Hahah, BAHAHAH, you cannot postpone Doom, silly devs.

Phyre (beta) male model:

Ah, yes. The simple solution: Just add long long hair to your character model to make it male.

 

[Abu Antar]

What’s Next for Bloodlines 2?


Pushed back to 2025.

Not surprised, tbh.

Are you blind?

 

[The President]

Yeah I’m not surprised, I didn’t think there was a chance the game was gonna come out this year.

I also noticed Damsel on TCR’s wall, I suppose she’s back in.

They also heard the feedback on the hair, you can now customize.

 

[Abu Antar]

That CEO looked very determined. "These mothereffers are going to give me a released game."

The creative director looks scared. The thing he says that they can add like new endings and whatnot seems to late. I'm guessing this will be one game that deservedly will be bashed.

 

[Roguey]

Smooth sailing for Veilguard!

Utter embarrassment for Paradox to play the delay game again. They didn't learn much at all from the previous experience.

 

[Herumor]

Didn't Paradox say that the game was definitely going to be released this year, that they chose TCR because they specifically wanted to avoid more delays, ala HSL? Lmao.

 

[processdaemon]

Smooth sailing for Veilguard!

Honestly that was my first thought, I'm starting to foresee a situation where Veilguard is a success not because it looks in any way good but because it's the only big RPG to release in Q4 2024.

Oh they have info on the site that wasn't mentioned in the video

The extra time gives us an opportunity to adjust certain areas, such as Fabien, and incorporate other community feedback.

The complaining worked, Fabien's going to be less obnoxious.

We will also use the time to expand the game’s story, and now Bloodlines 2 will have more than twice as many endings as its predecessor.

Hm, we'll see how this goes.

They at one point said they wouldn’t be surprised if it was released by Christmas of 2023.

This game however was advertised for late fall 2024.

 

[flyingjohn]

Hm, we'll see how this goes.

Expanding the game you can't even finish on time is a nice way to get even more delays.
Paradox, just can this clowns and beg Mitsoda to come back.

I was hoping Fabien's voice would be entirely removed from the game.

 

[Skinwalker]

Is this the worst development cycle of any video game in history?

 

[Paul_cz]

Have they ever explained the "Phyre" name?

 

[ChildInTime]

I guess they at least watched some of those old "vampire detective" shows like Blood Ties, and got their inspiration for male Phyre (what a stupid fuckin' name) from there.

Didn't really succeed, but considering who's the project lead, I'm not surprised.

Making sensible decisions this late in development, and only based on negative feedback makes it look as if these devs have absolutely no experience with Bloodlines 1. They wouldn't even have to love it to know that that's what the fanbase wants.

Somehow that male Phyre looks more effeminate than the male Toreador from Bloodlines. If they at least gave it broader shoulders and more bulk, then maybe it would be ok. And now that they've bought some more time, they should give each "body type" some unique hairstyles instead of this one-size-fits-all-genders- shit. And make those eyebrows look real too, not like those glued-on things from children's spy kits.

All they did was take the female model, make the face narrower, reduce the cheekbones, add a tan and long hair. Model looks to have the same height and build otherwise probably to save on animations.

Gender neutral name of supposed Armenian origin.

AC Shadows releases in november. Does that count as an RPG?

 

[Roguey]

Gender neutral name of supposed Armenian origin.

That was an hypothesis but no one from The Chinese Room has actually explained it.

 

[ferratilis]

January - the game gets cancelled
February - Chinese Room is shut down
March - Paradox goes bankrupt

These are not predictions, just wishes. Once can hope.

 

[Cricket McBangle]

In the Discord, Sarah Longthorne says the name was pitched to her as an Armenian name but did not give any other additional explanation.

 

[Skinwalker]

January September - the game gets cancelled
February October - Chinese Room is shut down
March November - Paradox goes bankrupt

These are not predictions, just wishes. Once can hope.
