    Anyone checked this upcoming title yet?

    Even though fantasy RPGs are the closest to my heart, any good RPG is still a good RPG. And I've pretty high expectations of this one.

    You can find the 5 demo videos from here:
    http://gamesdomain.yahoo.com/

    Basically, think of Deus Ex vampire version with modern graphics and this should be the type of game you get. Same type of RPG in 1:st person shooter style, with dialogues, skill advancements etc, all as appropriate.

    Edit: Misspelled the stupid headline, Masquarade pfft.

    I'm really looking forward to this. Friends of mine rave about the vampire universe, all the press on it I've seen has been positive, it looks excellent, and the company have a proven track record.

    Should be great.

    I don't know what to think. I really liked the 3rd person view that Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption had. I am not a fan of 1st person games. I remember playing DF2: Jedi Knight in 1st person view, and using the force powers or the lightsaber that way was a real pain... Good thing you could swhitch to 3rd person view.

    Actually, 3:rd person view is optional in Bloodlines. I wouldn't care about a 1:st person view either.

    I'm really looking forward to this - Deus Ex was GREAT, VtM:R was cool.
    This seems to appear to be getting the best of both of these - Not to mention the fact that PCgameplay has praised it with great praise.

    Looks very nice. I hope there will be more roleplay than there was in Redemption.

    Looks like I will need a faster computer though. :(

    I was looking forward to it at first, then I saw the videos, and I can't wait for this game. It looks so great.

    I liked the first vampire a bit with the different clans and such. The voice acting was alright but the combat was tedious and boring...
    Potence, Celerity, Beast Claws and off you go.

    I'm liking the look of this game, but that increases the number of games to buy in the next 12 months to unreasonable levels. I'll have to drop some from my list, but this won't be one of them. Those trailers look great.

    I can't wait for the new one either. It looks like they really put a ton of effort into making it a great game set in WoD. I liked Redemption too but the sappy eurotrash vamp pining for his lost love thing got annoying. LOL I especially like the clan specific look for when you put on armour. I'm looking forward to spending my loot cakes on this one. It looks like the guys at the game store are going to be feasting on my Queen Elizabeth's (Picture on the Canadian 20$ bill) for a long time to come with all the great games scheduled.

    After watching those clips, I'm opting to buy this the day it comes out, even though the combat looks a bit iffy.

    I can't wait for this game.

    I loved VTM:Redemption, and I have the Vampire sourcebook.


    I just love World of Darkness in general. :)

    Haven't seen the trailers yet but have heard some amazing stuff on this game from my aussie pc mag (PC Power Play). I am really looking forward to all the promised multiple story line and dialoge choices (I don't think Deus Ex really excelled in this area.
