melkathi Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I am open to them proving themselves up to the task to make a fun game. It turns out even Werewolf: Earthblood was actually good (in an AA or possibly Aa kind of way). The WoD has potential for good games. 1 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Just narrative walking sims. Nonsense, they made a platformer for apple stuff! Still, going from Dear Esther (which is good for what it is), to an AAA game seems like a bit step up... We'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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/ That looks really good and Im hoping they finish this game, Im excited because I was starting to think this game would be vaporware And one positive already it looks like there are hot women in it which means woke influence isnt dictating the artistic and aesthetic direction of the game .

Lexx Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Tbh, that trailer gives me nothing. All we see is some combat action, but simple truth is, I rather do the talky or sneaky way in my roleplaying games. And that's pretty much what would be important to me in a new Bloodlines game... How is the dialog, what stuff can I do, and how avoidable is the combat. The new company has no (good) track record in any of that stuff, but since everyone got fired some years ago, who knows what's going on now. Maybe they did find good replacements, maybe not. tl;dr - need to see actual gameplay if they want me to get excited. 1 2 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Im having a similar debate on Codex and someone correctly pointed out that Chinese Room is basically a new company with none of the previous people working for it that worked on previous adventure games But that doesnt mean it cant succeed if you think of Owlcat but it still concerns me "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.

That will be a nice change Hey, you could be a nekkid hot woman in Saint's Row reboot. People still review bombed it for being woke but Vampire always had a bit of eroticism in the genre, and you can't cut that out. It isn't a vampire story without some seduction. Some forbidden promises whispered in an ear. The lips slowly traveling lower. Without the goosebumps as they brush the neck. And the white flash as the fangs come out and pierce the flesh. and you know why they only let me paint cats and not write anymore 3 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

The Chinese Room developed Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs which is generally considered the black sheep of the series. That doesn't mean that they can't make a great game, hopefully Bloodlines 2 is fantastic, but I'm not holding my breath. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkathi Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 The Chinese Room Devs talking how awesome TCR is.
