Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 announced (2020 Q2 or later), PS4, X1, Steam/GOG/EGS, Paradox + Hardsuit Labs)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Someone carbonite freeze me until next year, I can't take waiting for the two hypest immersive sims I've ever seen
Is the other one Cyberpunk? (If they end up releasing close to each other, I'm gonna freak. Don't want Bloodlines 2 to get smothered).
Doubt it, with recent leaks saying that Cyberpunk is october this year, I think they will complement each other nicely. Cyberpunk will be the main course of 2019, and Bloodlines 2 - dessert in 2020.
Sounds like one way or another we would have gotten Bloodlines 2 at some point (whether or not it would have been the sequel that the original deserved is another point entirely). But I'm glad Mitsoda and Hardsuit approached Paradox, even if it was supremely risky for them to do. Glad Danny and NoClip are around, too. Good stuff.
I'm curious if stuff over in Geek and Sundries VtM game has anything to do with Bloodlines 2.
Such as assuming you CAN go back to Hollywood or Santa Monica you might run into Jasper or Annabelle.
Would be pretty dope

Hell yeah. Some of the domains in that game would be amazing to be in. Jason Carl could be scanned in without any work done and pass off as a Kindred.
Like Victor's club or Miranda's Chat Noir
They've introduced so many NPCs I'd be surprised if something from the G&S game isn't referenced.
I absolutely hope the cast from LA by Night get repped in Bloodlines 2. But I also hope it's subtle or limited. I like the idea of the cast being canon, but also removed from getting too overly caught up or influenced by the player, in order to keep their story and authored characters independent. So either referenced or, if they must be in the game physically (which I wouldn't mind), only short cameo roles where maybe you talk with them individually about something.
The first Dev Diary is up on the Paradox Forum from Liz Starr of Hardsuit Labs, but it's very much an introduction piece. No juicy details yet:

Nice. I love reading the weekly Paradox & Friends dev diaries so I'm glad this game is getting them, too.
I look forward to future development logs. This one didn't really contain anything we don't already know, but as was already said, it was an introduction.
BTW the guy who plays X the Malkavian on LA by Night Ian playing through the 1st game on his Twitch.
He did the answer the questions to have a sheet made for you character Gen and got Malkavian.
He's pretty funny and it's a fun watch

Just caught up with LA by Night. This series is the shit.
So many good things to say about it, but I'm running out of battery power so I'll just let one rise to the top.
Jason Carl is the most thoughtful, patient, coolest GM I have ever seen. If you are looking for the consumate professional, he is surely it.

I love they got an actress to play Therese. I'm interested to see her play Jeanette.
She's awesome. As least in part, she has wonderfully taken the mantle of the character. Can't wait to see the other side.
And expanding on that, the casting for characters once played by Jason Carl is phenomenal. Ib, Eva, Ramona... I don't know what it's like to actually cast for a... tabletop... theatre game? But damn. It can't be easy.
Her free point & click adventure game Santa Monica by night helps scratching the itch a little while we wait for Bloodlines 2
Works fine on linux .
Loved the video loved the game.
Yeah, sometimes it's a bit silly, but on the whole L.A. by Night is really awesome. And canon to boot. Whenever Mark Meer shows up, he simply steals the show. Simply love to hate his arrogant Toreador ass.

I like in the middle of season 2, Chaz (Meers) was 1 step away from the final death and he never knew it.
Would have been real interesting if it went down that way.
Do you mean just... showing up at all to declare praxis for the prince? Victor was discussing the possibility
I think he was a bit TOO sure of himself. I'm sure there would have been some plot armor if they decided to try and kill him. Plus Therese was very against going open war with Camarilla at that point, and without knowing how she would react to such actions, well...
The gun Victor has. It seemed they pretty much decided to end him until they found an alternate plan
Five clans total on the launch not counting thinbloods, it seems.
They also updated the official site. Seems we will stay thinblood the whole game. With just getting "accepted" into a clan.
Plus the disciplines have only two active powers, and more dots in a discipline get you some upgrades to an existing power. Not sure I like it.

That was pretty generic. Take out the sunlight only bothered him part and it was a generic vampire trailer
You don't stay a thin blood... the stream sounded pretty clearly that you don't stay a thin blood because they wouldn't survive long. For me it didn't sound like you will stay one and only get accepted.
Also this are only the Thin blood disciplines... we will see if it's the same for the real ones.

That seems unlikely, it only shows two dots. It's very possible(and expected) that you'll get new disciplines for the clan you join.
In the stream they explain you'll choose one of the three thinblood powers early in the game, and keep it throughout the entire game. You'll at some point also get clan disciplines once you're adopted into a clan. They also said it's impossible to refuse a clan, and you cannot play through the entire game as a pure thinblood. At some point you must join one.
As for active powers with disciplines, I'm not fussed. It was never going to be a direct translation of the pen and paper rules. Bloodlines wasn't either, and has many discipline trees that just buff or supplement the base power with each dot rather than granting new abilities with each upgrade.
Not much else was revealed in the steam, but they noted that in of itself, as this was more an intro. They'll be running weekly and starting next week they'll be revealing the first playable clan. They also noted that early in development they did toy around with the idea of some daylight levels, but it didn't pan out as enjoyable so they scrapped them.

Yep, though it looks really rough. But it's labeled pre-alpha, so whatever.
Oohhh, thanks. I didn't watch the stream, only the video. That sounds good. I want my superheroes with fangs, not a ghoul+ fantasy.
Maybe the real disciplines will have all five dots mean something.
Not sure how I feel about thinbloods not only not being killed right where they stand but potentially being promoted to clan members...
Not to mention many of the disciplines you could unlock amounted to "its the same fucking power but its AoE now"
Thinbloods being considered trash is normal, being put in a clan proper, not so much.
