July 21, 20223 yr Meh, this game died for me the second I read that they are removing content that was made by Chris Avellone. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
July 21, 20223 yr Don't care much about Avellone, but the moment they removed Brian is where it died for me. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

July 21, 20223 yr Don't care much about anything, but the moment they didn't release the game already is where it died for me

December 17, 20223 yr The Chinese Room? I don't know who they are but I still hope this rumor is false. Edited December 17, 20223 yr by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21
December 17, 20223 yr 29 minutes ago, ShadySands said: The Chinese Room? I don't know who they are but I still hope this rumor is false. 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.

December 17, 20223 yr 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. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
May 3, 20232 yr Author 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.
May 24, 20232 yr 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
May 24, 20232 yr 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."
May 24, 20232 yr 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).
May 24, 20232 yr It's sad to see it in such a state. Only got round to playing VTMB two months ago in preparation.
June 7, 20232 yr 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!
September 2, 20232 yr 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, 20232 yr by Lexx "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
September 2, 20232 yr 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, 20232 yr by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

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
September 3, 20232 yr 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.

September 3, 20232 yr 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).
September 3, 20232 yr Hmmm… the developer raises my eyebrows - they haven’t ever developed an actual game, have they? Just narrative walking sims. Still, show me more.
September 3, 20232 yr I'll believe it when it's released. 🇺🇸RFK Jr 2024🇺🇸 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
September 3, 20232 yr remember a lot of doubt about paradox ability to handle development of aaa game so far the doubt were proven right
