this is better than the recent trailer. can’t believe they ditched the 5 years of work left behind by Hardsuit Labs for a half-baked one which spits on everything Bloodlines is. It’s not Bloodlines, it’s Lines of Blood. Being a thin-blood as a victim of a mass embrace makes more bloody sense than being a 400 year old male-bodied woman called PHYRE that awakens with a THIN-BLOODS voice in her head

[@yanen8930]

Let's ignore the reason this project wasn't finished, it was because that studio you idolize it wasn't able to finish what they started, almost half year without them showing anything, so they had to go. Both have sense, except that the supposed Thin-Blood was going to be rewarded with Diablerizing a Lower Generation, wonder how a Thin-Blood managed to beat a lower Generation Kindred by himself, plus, Diablerizing someone it doesn't grant you a Clan welcome party, it has a lot of sense, because Hardsuit said so... Well, this studio had their assets, their work is copyrighted, once they got removed, unless you buy those assets, it's their property, given it's better to work from scratch and this project wasn't moving anywhere, reason why they stopped updating it, you just delete it. To each their own, but, the new project has the atmosphere right in the trailer, this was Hardsuit with yet another of their marketing tricks, "we don't take ourselves serious! Look! A stop sign!"

Next gen is more than graphics tho, maybe the gameplay feel and mechanics will represent next gen, Uncharted looked amazing but played like a last gen action game, gears looked next gen as well but played like all the other gears, everygame this gen just looks amazing and some have physics that would destroy a PS3 or 360 but overall it's mainly the fluidity and graphics that separates these last two gens, but TBH max Payne 3 as and Batman Arkham fluidity may have been ahead of their time

[@j.2662]

i think people need to realize that these dance animations were almost certainly made exclusively for this trailer. of course they look kinda janky, i wouldn't expect them to put maximum time and effort into some extra scenes for a 2 minute update trailer to get a little hype rolling when the animation talent is better used polishing the actual in-game cutscenes and animations, which already look way better than in previous footage. plus, if animation/graphical quality is all that matters to you in a video game, then you might be looking into the wrong franchise, lmao. and come on, just look at the environments. the final product is going to be consistently atmospheric and visually pleasing, regardless of the quality of the character models overall (which don't even look nearly as bad as some people are making them out to be in the first place), just like the first game was.

Watching this reminded me of the loosely based TV series in 1996 titled Kindred: The Embraced. Sadly, it was cancelled due to the main actor dying in a motorcycle accident. I really adored that show. I'm sure I'm going to love this game just as much. It's been a long time coming.

[@blackjoker12]

I want to see an updated game play trailer or at the very least walking around scenes and listening to the street sounds and night clubs. The last game play trailer has almost numb all hype. It was too quite and felt empty. That was 1 thing I loved about the first bloodlines. It felt like a city even though it wasn't you could ease drop on conversation. Listen to the clubs on repeat or just sit in the apartment look out the window and listen to the radio. It felt alive. The last game play trailer lack all of that. I need to see they are listening to fans before my hype can come back.
