I really hope you can play as Nosferatu. It's not often you can play as an ugly male or female protaganist. Hopefully we will not be forced to shop at bondage shops.

Worse, it's gonna be the Seattle version of Anglosphere "ethics", since Hardsuit is located there and staffed by Anglosphere progressives.

Mitsoda did say "We're not going to punch down," which tells me the game will be "Anarchs good, Camarilla bad" from start to finish.
To be fair, the Anarchs are better than the Camarilla pretty much across the board. Unless you're a fan of feudalism.
In Old World of Darkness, the "good" one was the one, where we, as a players, was. If we start in Camarilla / Sabbat / Anarchs, we are a "good" guys. And if this game will have "Anarchs good, Camarilla bad from start to finish", I'am not interested in it, as I'am not interested in 5ed Vampire...
This game better be faithful to the original. If it doesn't devolve into shoddily executed non-stop combat towards the end, and include an incredibly long and tedious sewer level, I'm gonna riot.
Sarcasm aside, I'm cautiously optimistic. The game probably won't be such a diamond as the original, but I can live with that if it's not as flawed. I doubt this will be Day 1 purchase for me, but I'll certainly follow this project with interest.

Well I'm very cautious about this announcement. One year seems quite short to make a good game. Also usually studios wait to have at least some gameplay footage before starting selling the game...
Do we have infos about the game engine?
Well not really. They're often presented as incapable and pure theoreticians. Democracy isn't the best option in a society where everyone is manipulative b*tch wwith a beast inside.
Also they're the weakest of the three sects, and usually used as pawns. That was quite present in the first game, where according to one theory
Also if you take Geheena as canon

Smiling Jack manipulate both the PC and Ramirez since the beginning, to get rid of Lacroix for his own agenda.

Sabbath was right since the beginning. Not that it helped them a lot.
The game is in development since 2015. Why do you think they just started now?
They've started dev before acquiring rights?
If it's really in dev since 4 years I would hope something more then a trailer with no actual gameplay inside.
It's a TEASER, not a trailer. Look at Nintendo. They have a lot of games releasing this year and most of them only show gameplay half a year earlier.
Also the planning started in 2015, the proper development in 2016.

Well that sounds even less encouraging to me. Nintendo does not start preselling a game based only on a dubious quality teaser, and the license name, despite having tons of juicy licenses.
If that was the game softlaunch, it was solely for nostalgic of the first Vtmb, as I doubt that anyone would buy the game because of this teaser.
That's a discussion about nothing, giving the few information we have so far, and I'm just hope that I'm wrong, and we don't end with a Torment of Numenara 2.

You know you can pre-order Bayonetta 3 already on Amazon? And we don't even have a trailer yet. The same with Luigi's Mansion 3... Also that's a completelly different topic. We didn't talked about the pre-order issue.
That has pretty much been the theme of VtM games since the early 1990's.
Its Rodriguez, not Ramirez. Its Sabbat, not Sabbath. Also, Gehenna was written out of Canon for 5th Edition.
Whops. 12 years old memories.
The theme of anarchs good is mainly for PC of the table top game, as it's a good easy to give them a degree of liberty that they can't enjoy in Camarilla/Sabbat. However if my memory isn't wrong again, Anarch became a fraction inside the Camarilla past the lost of the main parts of the Free State.

If it's even half the game that the original VtM: Bloodlines was, then this is gonna be awesome. But I'm definitely waiting until release day before I even so much as think about throwing money at it.
Thing is, the enforced repression to control the Beast and maintain the Masquerade? It works.
I don't think we'll get even that basic level of nuance in this game; imagine if Stellaris removed Inward Perfection and prevented Authoritarian empires from taking the Pacifist ethic, rejecting slavery or enacting Social Welfare.
