  Supposedly the first studio failed to make a fun game and they had to restart with The Chinese Room (Dear Esther, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Still Wakes the Deep).

  I think they are on track with it, but we got to wait longer.

    Don’t get your hopes up. The Chinese room version looks to be a straight linear action game with stripped down to non-existent RPG elements

      This does not sound good. VTMB is not supposed to be linear, you want to explore a living world.

      I haven’t been following the release trailers or previous, just saw some concept art from both the first studio that failed and The Chinese Room.

      At least now I can manage my expectations.

        Is it just me or is the first game fairly linear?

      Also like, the whole selling point initially for making a Bloodlines 2 was getting Brian Mitsoda back to write the script. But they’ve thrown it out to make their own story and it will be like BG3 in that sense - a sequel in name only but no actual connection to the original game(s).

      What’s your basis for believing that it’s going to be linear? Was there a leak or something?

        If you look at the gameplay (even if this real) you can tell it’s not going to be a sprawling RPG like the official)

      The Chinese Room invented the modern Walking Simulator genre so I have hoperectile dysfunction with them.

      I’m also quite disappointed at the change from playing a thinblood to an Elder kindred. I thought the idea of exploring thinblood lore could be really interesting and it would be much more interesting to roleplay someone who starts the game mostly human, compared to a completely inhuman monster right from the start.

  Allegedly it’s supposed to release in October. The original release date was in 2020, so I suppose we’ll see!
