Vampire 2 Demonstration

I was just thinking about that joke site about banning Doom 3. I'm actually somewhat surprised religious groups or the media haven't latched on to this game yet as being "evil".

In some ways I'd say it's a bit worse than Doom 3 in areas like violence, sex, gore, and anti-religious imagery.

In other words, it's going to be great.:)
 
God damn this game looks KICK ASS.

It reminds me of Morrowind (some of the sounds are the same).

I am SO going to buy this.
 
Gah, why are people comparing this to Morrowind? This will have actual dialogue.

Ok I just watched the videos, and wow. Just wow. I knew I'd be buying this game no matter what, but what I didn't know was that it is basically Morrowind on the Half-Life 2 engine. This game is going to be ****ing awesome, maybe even GOTY.

We think alike. Some of the sounds were from Morrowind. Now we get morrowind with boobs, booze, guns and L.A.! ;)

Because it's just like it, except...better... :D I also loved the dialogue, it's a lot easier than Morrowind.
 
They are probably reminded of it by the open-ended gameplay and the similar sounds... but, IMO, it's closer to what the original Deus Ex (albeit, looking to be better in all aspects) would be if it were about vampires.

Sounds like what I used to see at LA Guns concerts :)

I dont think this game will best Deus Ex. Deus Ex's story was insane. Not saying VtM will be bad, might be a great game, but i feel the story wont be near Deus Ex's.
 
Looks awesome, I'm in the process of watching the 1st video, hehe I don't think she actually flashes you, she touched her breasts, it's obviously too risque for Yahoo :\

edit: haha fat larry is awesome.
 
IMO, the story was one of the few things Deus Ex had going for it (make no mistake, it was a damn good story). The graphics were ok (a bit bland compared to the competition, but not to the point to the point of ugliness), the animation was stiff (and people looked like they were trying to run on ice), the voice acting was merely tolerable, character customization was practically nonexistant until you were quite a way into the game (at the beginning you could only pick between a few crappy face skins and allocate some points to a couple of skills... and you had to put most of them into one skill to make it worth using), and there was no multiplayer until it was added in a patch (and what was added sucked).

A story is very important, but a game has to be well-rounded. If Deus Ex were better in everything else I might have played it more than just once. I mean, I knew that it had multiple endings, but I didn't care.

I think Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines will best Deus Ex overall. I can't judge the game based on the story since I know nothing about the story, but, so far, everything I've seen in VtM:B has been better than it was in DE. The graphics look great, the character animations are expressive and smooth, the voice acting is impressive and fits the characters, you can pick between 14 base characters (7 unique races and 2 genders) and an optional choice of one of the many character backgrounds/histories before you even get to the deeper attribute customization (all of those choices make a difference in the gameplay and/or the story), the built-in multiplayer sounds cool........ and the game has ****ing VAMPIRES!

IMO, if VtM:B's story even comes close to the depth of the story of Deus Ex it will be a superior game because the same level of quality is in all aspects of the game... something lacking in Deus Ex.
 
HOLY CRAP!

it reminded me so much of deux-ex ...i have to get this game no matter what.

it being on the source engine is just an extra goody!
 
fyo deus-ex = my favorite game ever next to chrono trigger.

You can already get all of them! DO IT NOW THEY'LL MAKE YOU FEEL GREAT!

(look at previous posts in this thread)
 
Hey, will the Nosferatu be able to walk normaly and wear normal clothes?

Because they're damn ugly and strange.
 
Here's what the site says about multiplayer so you don't have to navigate through that terrible, terrible site. Seriously, just make a normal one... :hmph:

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines multiplayer game pits players against each other in the ultimate team-based battle of Kindred versus Kine. Players choose which side to ally themselves with and which powers and weapons to take into battle. You will have various objectives that you need to accomplish while the other team tries to reach their own goals. All while you battle along the streets of L.A. Each multiplayer map blends intense combat action and strategy with maps that are linked together to create an unfolding storyline.

Team Types:
Join as one of the seven different Camarilla clans or become a member of The Society of Leopold, the legendary hunters of the undead.
As a vampire, you must utilize your innate Abilities and Disciplines to eliminate your foes. If you choose to be a member of The Society of Leopold, you'll be outfitted with an arsenal of deadly weaponry including stake guns, rifles and machine guns to hunt your prey. Along with this arsenal, you will have Numina (unique powers brought on by your faith) to help blance the scales.

Objective Scenarios:
With a variety of team-based mission objectives, you will have a unique playing experience every time. As you complete your objectives, you'll gain experience points that can be used to increase your powers and abilities or purchase better weaponry and armor.

Awesome... just... awesome... :D
 
I hope there's an option to be a vampire badass ala Alucard. Or at least become one. I don't want to play as a quadripedial zombie thing.
 
Nosferatu- Stealth
Malkavian- Insane/Insights
Brujah- Fighter (there's your badass ;))
Tremere- Magic/Manipulative
Gangrel- Shapeshifting (prolly the quadripedal)
Ventrue- Businessmen (influence)
Toreador- Art/Entertainment (mortals admire them)
 
Malkavian IS ME... Either that or Nosferatu or Tremere... What the hell, I WILL PLAY THEM ALL ... if its good.
 
Oh my ****ing God it has multiplayer too? And one that ISN'T half-assed? HOLY SHIT!

Seriously, how the hell did I not pay more attention to this game sooner.
 
Awesome, Fat Lary with F.A.T roks, his facial expressions is 100% accurate. wow :)
 
I just hope it has a mix of magic and gun fighting like Undying has :D
 
This game is like Morrowind with a touch of deus-ex sprinkled with scantly-clad women = :thumbs:
 
I really don't think too much to it. I haven't been overly impressed with the graphics, especially the people - I mean, one of Source's highlights is the expressions and realistic faces, and "Fat Larry" looked rubbish (his voice acting was appalling too). Perhaps the physics sytem etc. has been well implemented. Certainly it looks like they're giving a lot of thought to open-ended gameplay which is, of course, a Good Thing and it looks to have some very solid RPG gameplay. It could be excellent but, personally, I won't be bothered about this game until it gets stellar reviews.
 
I thought the voice acting was well good.

The ladys call me OH GOD! you can call me ^Ben
 
The only problem I saw with Fat Larry was the clipping between his fat arms and his fat body. Other than that I didn't see any problems. His face had enough detail, the vertices around his mouth deformed well when he spoke, the animations were a bit flamboyant but not beyond believability for a person that talks like him, and the voice acting fit his quirky character. I'm 90% sure he's supposed to act like he does in those videos (maybe for a touch of comedy in an otherwise dark game or just to be weird). You probably just have different tastes.
 
No I just thought the voice acting sounded a bit lazy, like the actor wasn't particularly up for it or familiarised with the accent. Plus, after seeing the detail in the faces of HL2's characters I just expected something similar.
 
After watching the vids, i think i might really enjoy this game, but on the other hand i generally steer away from games like that. An example being Heretic and its sequel.

Edit: Not because I think its neccesarily evil, but there are some influences i can do without.
 
I have decided to wait for reviews on all the games I will get UNLESS it is HL2 or Doom3. But this game looks mighty hot, I'll probably end up getting it. :)

I still think that the lip syncing in HL2 is far more realistic than what was shown in Vampires. Venus and Fat larry seemed to move their mouths in the same way - while HL2 characters are able to make weird lip expressions along with the talking. But then, valve are the daddy of the tech - so they obviously know how to use it better.

I agree with you when looking at characters like the g-man, where they've put a lot of effort into the lip synching and facial animations. But when you watch the e32k4 vid the average NPC's seem to have a much simpler lip synch, more like that shown in the vampire vid. So I think it may be a case of Vampire just having too many NPC in the game to be able to spend too individual time on each one.

aye, but the scene where alyx enters the scene in eli's lab showed it's also shows good lip synching happening in-game. Another example is that drunk dude in the apartment - his addicted face and sleepy looks look very convinicing. Then when he speaks - his mouth remains half-closed, as though he's mumbling rather than speaking.

True, true. You may be right about Valve being better at it. Or it might be a combination of that and the fact that Vampires just has so many characters for them to animate.
 
Am I seeing things or something but I can SWEAR I saw the tremere Bob casting dynmaic shadows in that 4th video.

Yes he does:

@ 1:31 in the 4th vid he casts a shadow to his left.

@ 1: 48/49 he casts a shadow to his right (from the different light source)

WTF...even Vampires have dynamic shadows...why not hl2? ;(
