I've finally found a new game project that I'm going to help score. Bloodlines worked out because the developer let me be me without compromise. The new project will be like that too. More acoustic than Bloodlines but my sound.
I have been playing this game for many years now and I will play it until someone at White Wolf realizes it deserves a superb sequel. This game made me fall in love with the vampire genre all over again.
Imagine what they could do for a sequel to Bloodlines these days. Imagine an open world setting like Liberty City (GTA4). Imagine walking through those streets at night looking for prey or standing on the roofs and looking down at the mortals you feed upon.
@AndreaZ64 I've been saying this for years. If you've ever played infamous, prototype or crackdown, thats the sort of thing I've been thinking of. Well, that but with far more social actions and choices, something less linear.
There are few games that compare to the immersion of this one. Omikron, Elder Scroll: Morrowind (maybe even Oblivion), I can't remember the others as i'm drunk right now. Happy new years :D.
This game though is unique in all of the gaming universe. The sounds, gameplay, immersion, I've been waiting for a sequel to it like I have been to Omikron and Interstate 76 (which will never come unless I make it myself) and so on.. Sorry I just love my old games.
This game needs a sequel and needs it bad. I just wish I could relive playing through this game for the first time again... Cause it was fucking awesome!!
I bought this the day it came out and got it installed on every songle pc I had since then. If one wantd to play you got to get the newest community patch.
I wish this game would receive the attention it deserves. The vampire were all made sexy and alluring but very frightening at the same thing. The atmosphere and dark and immersive, luring you into the darkness, threatening to leave you in a pool of your own blood. Amazing game.
dark, mysterious, threatening but at the same time very exciting and chilling.
Never heard any Track of an OST fitting so perfect into the context of a game.
Ok the game was buggy as hell with its crashings and plotbreakers but moments like the arrival at chinatown or the creeping through the 'ocean house' at night with a headset on was way worth the pain.
this game is like deus ex1,awesome games that fortunally or unfortally have no sequel...i take that back,this game is a successefull sequel unlike others games/movies like resident evil and etc.
This game has an awesome story,excelent conversations,brutal combats. in one word,perfect.
Every level was rather small, but the great music like this theme made them feel very large and athmospheric, genious!
Bloodlines is one of the greatest games ever created, no other game has given me such an immersive athmosphere. Now White Wolf is working on a World of Darkness MMO, let's see where they go with this project...
I hope it follows the same system as in the RPG table games, it would be more loyal and easy to manage without you getting paranoid with you're placing the points correctly.
Right click on the VTMB icon on your desktop click properties, on the target list, at the end of it all, put -Console then in game put in the cheats =D
Don't buy it. All the money goes to the publisher (Activision), Troika is dead. And one of the reasons is exactly due to Activision's fault. They screwed Troika and this game over. It's thanks to them that it was released as a buggy mess and incomplete, competing with top AAA games and with little advertising.
Instead of filling Kotick's pockets with money for something he only helped kill and tarnish, buy yourself an ice cream and pirate this.
IF it'd been made for consoles too, they'd have dumbed it down, SEVERELY. It wouldn't have been close to the same game. Some games are better on consoles, but this isn't one of them. Look at what Bethesda does: the more they orient toward consoles, the more brainless their games get.
cant say i agree with you- they could have done just a "special" version of VtmB, where everything on the character sheet is more or less maxed out at the beginning and made the character sheet inaccessible on the console but kept everything else the same as PC. After all, the average console tard dosent give a s*** about character development and wants only the content without actually having to strain for it. If you dont belive me then compare Bioshock to System Shock 2...
If you own the game itself, have Windows Media Player scan your computer for sound files. I did this and it came up with a huge(possibly full?) list of music from Bloodlines, including NPC speeches, the music from each nightclub, all the radio loops, and the background music.
lol even this game shows how scary vampires are. Twilight just have fucked all the vampire horror genre movies
