We are getting a kino Gothic Bloodlines 2 and not cringe woke nu-brian “my gloves are my autism armour” mitsoda crap. Thank your lucky stars that Paradox fired the hacks at Hardsuit Labs and handed this off to a dev who will actually do it justice. This game will be peak atmospherecore.
P.S. The game is on a strict 2-year dev cycle, expect a trailer around the game awards and a release in mid/late 2023. That will be all, also I'm not Dan Pinchbeck.

Chinese are good people, Im married to one.
>Source?
It was leaked to some insiders by a drunk employee that TCR has it. Everything I listed in OP is public information though, none of that is a leak, its all factual.
>So's hugging this dude's nuts, but I wouldn't brag about either one.
What?
>chang engine
it's ogre, again.
Source?
The right choice would be not hiring shitty devs two times in a row
and who would you give it to anon?
People with actual rpg experience, not some shitty walk sim and fps devs.
>People with actual rpg experience, not some shitty walk sim and fps devs.
bloodlines 1 was barely an rpg though? It played more like a walking dialogue sim
>bloodlines 1 was barely an rpg
>It played more like a walking dialogue sim
That's what an RPG is, if the focus is in action and not immersive rp dialogue it's called an action game

Enjoy your game filled with LGBTQ2A+ characters https://twitter.com/SumoDigitalLtd/status/1538895869780627456
>People with actual rpg experience,
None of them are available. CD Projekt is out of Paradox's price range, Harebrained has been working on two turn-based games for the past few years and don't have the time or the team to do it, all the other Americans are owned by Microsoft. TCR has hired people with RPG experience like the guy in the tweet I posted above and a writer from Hogwarts Legacy.
So get someone like piranha bytes or larian
Piranha never made a single decent game after Gothic 2 NotR. Larian jumped on the "early access" bandwagon with BG3 and they are now 2 years into development, with only the first chapter released and no release date in sight.
Honestly risen series is pretty good, especially 1 if you can get over the jank. No idea about elex
Piranha Bytes is owned by THQ Nordic and have only ever made a specific kind of game that isn't like Bloodlines. Larian is busy with BG3, out of their price range, and also now make a specific kind of game and I don't see how they'd manage to get barrels to work in Vampire.

What?
this is a delusional shill post, the game is dead and raped by trannies.
I hold 0 hype and 0 hope until its actually released
>A Machine for Pigs
A shitty short as frick walking simulator, with easy as frick puzzles for dumb people and shallow stealth sections, who basically shat on its predecessor which was a great game that did all those things the right way?
>Dear Esther
Oh god.
Bloodlines 2 confirmed for dead.
Why do you think they're keeping so quiet? Id honestly wouldnt be surprised if we never hear from it again
I hope so. Bloodlines was one of those "once in a lifetime games", made by a small studio that gave it all because its own survival was at stake and it had to compete with giants on release (HL2 and Doom 3). A rare scenario, similar to the one that involved Ion Storm and Deus Ex. The situation and the people that made it possible are no longer there. It's pointless to hope for a worthy sequel in the troony world we live in today.
every game these moronic swedish trannies have churned out since they bought white wolf has been worse than the last
they bought this IP only to drag it through the mud and destroy whatever little prestige the original bloodlines built up
god i fricking despise paradox, i want them to go bankrupt and see those """designers""" work at some mcd's in stockholm
victoria 3 is gonna be shit too
What if it's good?
we'll still complain
There is no source for you claim but I wouldn't put it past paradox to (continue) to go full moron and hire a walking sim dev for Bloodlines 2
I MISS BLACKLIGHT RETRIBUTION.
FRICK YOU HARDSUIT LABS.
>I MISS BLACKLIGHT RETRIBUTION.
me too agent.
I've got mixed feelings, I feel like the Chinese Room has shown experience in building an atmosphere, but that's also about the only thing they're good at. 90% of their writing has been waffling monologues that take themselves extremely seriously and they're yet to actually make a game.
