Spider Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Iirc, multiplayer would have been totally separated from the single player campaign. More of a traditional FPS multiplayer where your vampires could square off against eachother. I think skills were supposed to be used in that. I wonder how Celerity would have been implemented...
CoM_Solaufein Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 It would be nice if they made another VtM game but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Bloodlines as a multiplayer game? That would make for an interesting play.

Musopticon? Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) Well, there are Vampire hunter player models and some of their "disciples" in the Bloodlines files. I guess it was going to be at least partly a humans versus undead match. Edited January 22, 2006 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Musopticon? Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Ahah, I would have wagered the Leopoldians have won. Reckoning on undead kind. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Rhomal Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Well, KOTOR 1 and 2 also sold millions of copies. The Vampire computer games were not good sellers at all. You may have enjoyed it, but no one is going to finance a game if they don't think it will sell. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A shame really, Bloodlines was an excellent game, excluding some of the bugs of course. It would have been a decent seller if they beta tested it better than what they did. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I followed bloodlines sales, it never went higher then 13th on the top PC games sales list.

Darque Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 13th isn't that bad considering how many pc games are spammed out
Gabrielle Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 13th isn't that bad considering how many pc games are spammed out <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :ph34r: Seems kinda unlucky. Loot at were Troika is now.
Rhomal Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 13th isn't that bad considering how many pc games are spammed out <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If it was developed in some guys attic with a couple friends sure. 13th is fantastic to recoup your costs. However when you talk a couple million investment to develop a AAA game like this you need to be in the top 10 for several weeks just to break even. Or at worst top 20 for longer. It debuted at 13th the first week and just went downhill from there. In the end it lost money I believe.

Rhomal Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I think it struggled to sell 100k units. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So $50. x 100k = 5million. Seems like a lot but minus the retail stores cut, minus a few million from development costs, then the developers cut... I dont think the publisher made much to brag about. And thats assuming all 100k units were at full price which we all know isnt the case. Here in Boston about a month after release it dropped to $39. from $49.

I don't even know if it made 100k...I remember seeing a number a while ago that had it around 80k.
Gorgon Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 And there you have it. It's not that the dev's don't know how to make awesome games, it's people who don't have any taste and could'nt tell a masterpiece if it hit them in the ass. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
alanschu Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Or people were hesitant given that the game didn't exactly ship in stellar condition, code wise.
Gorgon Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 well yes, a fatal flaw throwing you to the desktop in the last 1/4 of the game. Not pretty. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Gorgon Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Not withstanding the error, and one or two final maps who were kinda sloppily done. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
CoM_Solaufein Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I didn't buy the game until much later after it's release. A month or so before Troika bit the dust.

Plus their track record with TOEE having it Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Calax Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 just going to say there will never be a vampire masquerade mmo because that'd go against the game world, ie you'd have skillions of vampires running around in the world where theres' only supposed to be a few. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
