It will be a low budget game, sad
At least I hope it's good
If it were produced by CD Projekt it would be perfect

Also, Gehenna was written out of Canon for 5th Edition.
To be honest, I really do not care.
I'm only really interested in the grand strategy titles and C:S. This game seems really edgy, like Dracula meets the Matrix. I am just happy that this is not taking up dev time with PDS and Colossal Order. I'm happy all of you are happy and excited, but I think PDX should focus on sandbox style strategy and management titles. I am concerned that PDX is becoming another Ubisoft or THQ Nordic as it grows so rapidly.You posting here says otherwise to me.

> Bloodlines 2 is the latter.
Which is why it will fail. I can't think of a single game where Paradox was the publisher, not a developer, that was worth a damn.
Here's a list of Paradox top selling games.> Cities: Skylines was absolutelly a fail and nobody loves that game.... oh wait. Mount and Blade was quiet popular too...
Black swans don't make the rule nor change the expectations. For every Cities: Skylines you have fifty Starvoids.
What we know from VTMB2 so far is it's a console action adventure game that wasn't even developed by Paradox with development towards the male young adult crowd with a focus on combos and cut scenes set in the CofD world instead of the cWOD that happened to retain a person or to from the WWS CCP to PDI acquisition for marketing purposes. Like I said, maybe the same will sell, maybe it won't. My guess based on the fluff alone, like GW games, it will end up falling in the Surviving Mars camp, i.e. make a quick buck and die, two years later nobody care, support not exist, and forgotten about with more people still playing the original VTMB.

What are you talking about? Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is set in the oWoD, not Chronicles. The clue is in the name (Vampire: The Masquerade vs Vampire: The Requiem) along with the fact that it's a direct sequel to VTMB1, which was also set in the old World of Darkness.
I don't know how much of White Wolf's original talent is involved, or if any are even left with the company, but we do know that Brian Mitsoda, the lead writer of VTMB, is the lead writer on this one. Plus Chris Avellone, the gaming world's craziest genius. Emphasis on genius.
Here's a list of Paradox top selling games.
Of the top ten (all with more than 1 million units sold), Paradox has developed 6 by themselves.
Of their top 3 best sold, they've developed one, and it is indeed in the third place.
I agree in principle, but also encourage anyone to have a look for themselves at the list I provided above & consider whether the relevant titles are good games or not.Top selling does not equate to Top Quality. The original Bloodlines sold very poorly at release, yet is considered a masterpiece. Every version of CoD sells boatloads of copies, yet is always little more than a generic looter-shooter, with massive grind & excessive monetization (being an Activision Game & all)

BattleTech isn't in the top 10?!?! That just confirms my original point about sales vs quality.
As for cWoD v. CofD, sorry man I'm not seeing it in the trailer. I see no goth-punk at all which was the defining artistic difference (i.e. outside rules and storyline) between cWoD and CofD. What I do see though is heavy anime/manga influence though inline with CofD's emo artistic direction. (BTW a similar problem with SRR's as well, another IP PDI holds now).
PDI has my money, I will buy VTMB2 just like I bought BT, etc but I'm not expecting much and I will be happy if it's at least playable more than two hours. And get back to me in 2034 if anybody is still playing VTMB2 and, at that point, are more people playing VTMB1 or VTMB2.
