12/8/2023 0 Comments Prey 2017 concept artCan't believe all the best games for this franchise since 2004 have all been visual novels and text adventures.Įh, the original is one of my favourite games of all time (possibly my second favourite behind DA:O) and I'm a long time WoD addict but none of this looked awful enough to get my doom on. It seems this IP is just doomed to be treated as an afterthought, and then when the game doesn't do super well, they'll think it's the IP's fault when it's really just that no one is really trying to give people what they want. This is not the game that I think anyone wants when they hear "Bloodlines 2", it's something that people are willing to put up with because they desperately want more World of Darkness games. They should have believed in the original team. You had one job!!! Take a game from 2004 and make a new one, except a little prettier! This seems more like a sequel to Swansong (which was a fun game, don't get me wrong) than Bloodlines, but I want a sequel to Bloodlines way more than I want a sequel to Swansong. The animations are flat (which can be fixed, but for now, looks like the kind of thing I'd fall asleep during) and the decision to have the protagonist be voice acted and to deliver their lines in third person is a big mistake IMO, as that's going to cut down on the amount of choice the player has in their responses in a way that the old first person conversations with a list of choices would not have. I also really, really do not like how the dialogue looks. So much of the ambition just seems completely stripped from this. The devs previous were saying things that sounded fascinating to me, like their desire to make you "feel sexy/desired", which is something I don't really think any game has tackled. Maybe around release they'll pull me back in, but this just looks like they took it in the exact direction I wouldn't want them to take it in. Probably going to cancel my outstanding preorder for this and get something else instead. Of course I could be wrong, but I just wish they'd left the game alone and let it finish in its original incarnation. As a big fan of the first, I really don't like how this looks.
