Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

When Twitch chat and the obvious on-screen ideology intersect:

An actual sequel; nice. Looking forward to seeing gameplay. That said, never heard of this dev team; any reason to be particularly optimistic or pessimistic about them?

Rime said:

Absolutely. But if it is like Preludes, then it will be heavy handed and shoved down your throat.

Yeah I've followed the development for years, but I can't do Seattle.

I'm out.

Hardsuit labs.

Established in 2015, Hardsuit Labs is an independent game development studio located in Seattle, WA.

Seattle based dve studio making a video game about seattle. I am shocked. SHOCKED.
Formerly, Builderbox games.
Formerly, Zombie studios.

Zombie Studios shut down in January 2015 with its owners' retirement. Former staffers of the company subsequently founded a new studio, Builder Box Games (now Hardsuit Labs), who acquired some of Zombie Studio's former IPs, including Blacklight: Retribution.[3]

From last night's Twitch chat. Gee I wonder why nobody likes politics in their games.

Really, I'd be perfectly find with SJW stuff being in it if it was factored into the clan politics. Use that shit as a way to get easy thralls(ghouls) and have the social upheaval over it in the backdrop as the clans try to learn how to adjust to a drastically different world.

SJW are just Malkavians.

Now that would be funny.

I want to play a Dauntain SJW.

Yeah, I dunno about this.

Bloodlines was so great because it wasn't your standard completely meets expectations of what a vampire game is gonna be. There was actual worldbuilding and solid writing involved. Even if it was obvious from the first time you interacted with the insane twin that she was 1 person, it was wonderful how that completely obvious bit played out.

It's looking a lot like this one is going to not only meet those standard expectations but wildly exceed them.

I could very well be wrong and we get another "that's not just pretty good for a vampire game, that's just a fucking great game" out of it. I hope I am. But... paradox. I don't even hate paradox. This just isn't what they're known for doing well.

If we've got the same quality of story as the first one but it's just riddled with bizzare sexuality and SJW tropes... hell, I might even be ok with that. It's -vampires-.

As long as the central story is stronk. The Continuing Adventures of Smiling Jack, bringing chaos to some Seattle noobpires.

Then again I'm the one guy that actually liked Queen of the Damned for the hopeless schlock that it was.

I don't give a shit about vampire politics, I just want them to stay away from specific politics of right now. Like, if they talk about punching Nazis in a non-ironic way I'm going to be unhappy. I want this kind of shit in the new game:

Maggie the vanu queen works for these folk, cool!

I've seen a lot of people bitching on Twitter than the VtM games(non-videogame stuff) have gone really SJW lately. If they make a good game, I can deal with some bullshit in that regard, but I'm skeptical at this point.

The most annoying part about this SJW crap is how very on the nose they are with it. The only thing missing from this guy is a f2m transition while being embraced.

that pic is SO corny and on the nose, I have to assume its intentionally a joke.
