Katphood Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Meh, this game died for me the second I read that they are removing content that was made by Chris Avellone. 1 1 There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Lexx Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Don't care much about Avellone, but the moment they removed Brian is where it died for me. 3 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Theonlygarby Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Don't care much about anything, but the moment they didn't release the game already is where it died for me

They have created some smaller games but nothing on the scale of this, Im worried that they dont have the experience to deliver on this prestigious title. And the rumors have been around for about 12 months but I was hoping they not true https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chinese_Room "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Humanoid Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 I remember their Amnesia sequel was critically panned. Seems like they're good at walking simulators but have faltered when asked to do anything more complex than that. 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Katphood Posted May 3, 2023 Author Posted May 3, 2023 I played Dear Esther and Everybody's Goneto Rapture and they were both awful. If you want a good walking simulator go play The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. As for RPGs...I have no idea how such a small inexperienced team is going handle a big game like this. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Amentep Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Old thread - I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Lexx Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Damn, that's a little bit of an odd split. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
melkathi Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 A game that isn't even dead because it never was alive got into a second thread. I am taking bets on how many threads we can reach before it either releases or gets officially abandoned. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
SellSwordDev Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 It's sad to see it in such a state. Only got round to playing VTMB two months ago in preparation.
Zoraptor Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 To make this thread worthwhile: actual news! So yeah, there won't be physical editions, plus please feel free to cancel your pre-orders and here are 5 screenshots, three of which are in generic alleys/ sewers. I guess the one with the tree looks kind of interesting, though it looks more like something from the unannounced Thief: tDP remake. Anyway, please check back in September! 2 2 1
Lexx Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Ah s- here we go again. Not sure what to think of it. Too lazy to check the old stuff, but looks kinda the same to me. /Edit: And more. https://www.pcgamer.com/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2-has-been-quietly-rebuilt-by-dear-esther-developer-the-chinese-room-with-different-gameplay-mechanics-and-rpg-systems/ Edited September 2, 2023 by Lexx 2 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Bartimaeus Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) 1. not sure i really like the look of any of that combat 2. but if they bring back my cheerleader outfit, i suppose i can at least try it out Edited September 2, 2023 by Bartimaeus 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Killing Floor 2 was originally made by Tripwire Interactive and Hardsuit Labs seems, by all accounts, to have only been responsible for the PS4 port of the game. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Humanoid Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) So according to Wikipedia, The Chinese Room sacked all their employees in 2017 and at that point the company was down to just the two directors working out of their house. In the six years since then they've been acquired, released one new mobile game, and re-released one of their old games for mobile. Alrighty then.

melkathi Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Interesting change of protagonist. Could be fun. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Wormerine Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Hmmm… the developer raises my eyebrows - they haven’t ever developed an actual game, have they? Just narrative walking sims. Still, show me more.
Keyrock Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 I'll believe it when it's released. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
uuuhhii Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 remember a lot of doubt about paradox ability to handle development of aaa game so far the doubt were proven right
