That last Vampire Masquerade game didn't turn out very good but this new one intriques me. Unlike the previous Vampire RPG which was developed by Nihilistic, this new one is by Troika Games. It seems to be a first-person Action/RPG. The screenshots don't look great but the game sounds unique enough.

I really want this. I love first person RPG's.
The gothic vampire atmosphere is just the icing on the cake for me. PC Gamer's newest issue has quite a nice cover story on it. There's 7 different "clans" of vampires to choose from.
It's pretty cool how they took inspirations from other works to make them. For example, one clan is like Anne Rice's sissy boy vampire, and another like the creepy Nosferatsu.
I need to upgrade my PC so bad. :(
I'm looking forward to this one.
I've always been a fan of the pen-and-paper RPG and the card game. Plus, it's running on the super-cool Half Life 2 engine.
It's too bad you can't play as a Sabbat character, though.
HL2 engine?! SOLD!
I actually watched an early beta or alpha of this game in action at the San Diego Comicon. It indeed runs on the HL2 engine and it looks absolutely INCREDIBLE!
It's too bad only reps at the Activision booth were allowed to play it. But just seeing it in action was incredible, too bad it's still at least another 8 months away from release, though. I hope there's the option to actually play your character from different clans outside the Camarilla, and even the smaller bloodlines like the Salubri and Baali. Really looking forward to it :)
The cover feature of the new PC Gamer is this game. It's definately worth a read for the lowdown on this game. It sounds real promosing and very Deus Ex=y.
Yeah, they were showing it at E3. The lines to see HL2 were too damn long, so I satisfied my curiosity about the engine by looking at this game. It looked DAMN nice... I'll most likely pick it up when it comes out.
Since I don't feel like buying PC Gamer, what did they say about the gameplay? The battles are action-based, right?
Neo, from what I saw of the demo the battles can be in first or third person. First person seems to be like any other FPS, though in the alpha or beta of the game I was watching in action a lot of the vampiric powers hadn't been implemented yet. I'm sure once they are the battle system will be a lot deeper and more innovative.
Imagine a cross between KOTOR and Half-Life 2 and you're close.
The E3 demo guy was playing a Nosferatu and showing off some of the different ways you can attack problems in the game. For example, at one point you have to shut down a nightclub. The Nossie used his Animalism to cause thousands of rats to rush into the building. Tee-hee!
Bah, who'd want to play as one of those traitorous, soul-stealing demon-vampires? The sooner they are eliminated, the better.Quote:
