Comment on RTX remaster mod for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines looks like witchcraft
DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoDon’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?
It’s no open world. But there are hubs, often there are multiple ways to finish a quest and there are quest lines that are limited by your skill and clans selection.
But the main story quest is RATHER linear.
Second game better be at least this level, but doesn’t have to be significantly more open imo. What do u think?
The Chinese Room invented the modern Walking Simulator genre so I have hoperectile dysfunction with them.
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)
