THEY KNOW THE LEGACY of this game, so the questions are:
1. How can they engage in a project that is clearly a downgrade in function, form and fucks-given (FFF) compared to the almost legendary status of the original?!
2. Their GREED and IGNorance are THAT high?
In the reddit thread above it's mentioned the TCR wanted to change the name of the game to distance it from the original but Paradox is banking on brand recognition.
"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.
Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty
Which is weird since the mainstream doesn't give a shit about VtMB. It may be my favorite game, but it didn't exactly do great on release and it's just another cult classic. It may be a great game, but it's not exactly a huge draw.
The "Key" to understanding the strategy behind selling this game is in the "Departure" chapter of the above video.
Paradox's plan:
• How many OLD players / gamers played Bloodlines? Not that many, so fuck 'em!
• How many NEW players can we get to buy this? With proper marketing, A LOT!
• No need for this to be a true sequel, because there is no need for that. We sell this to NEW players!
Not even Fextra-dude played the first game... He's into RPG content, so that's saying something.
The Lasombra and Toreador clans have been moved to the Basegame making all 6 clans be playable for all Bloodlines 2 owners at launch!
We are excited to reveal two new Story Packs, Loose Cannon and The Flower & the Flame, to be released in 2026. These Story Packs are included in the Premium Edition's Expansion Pass along with the day-one unlock Santa Monica Memories Cosmetic Pack.
Pre-purchase Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 and get the Bloodlines Nostalgia Jukebox as an exclusive in-game bonus!
Inb4 they call initially putting the 2 clans behind dlc a "miscommunication".
They fixed the 'problem' - created by them - so now everyone will praise them for the decision... meanwhile forgetting how a woke NON-RPG! (the main issue), non-true-sequel this product is.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
