I've searched just about everywhere on google and here on gamespot after news about a new vampire game. Set in the WoD (World of Darkness).

I enjoyed the VtM:Bloodlines immensely and i am wondering whether there is any plans/announcements to such a game?

Also if you have a game to recommend (NOT MMORPG) where you actually play as a vampire and not some holier-than-thou vampire slayer/hunter.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I havent heard of a new one but you could try Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption. Its an old game but still quite fun.

AFAIK theres nothing in the pipeworks yet, I agreed WoD is a fantastic and fascinating setting and I'm surprised its not been used more.

IMO A good game based on WoD should be about the demons [Elohim, IIRC]. The V:TM game was good but it had some minor technical problems.

That being said there hasn't been a lot of WoD-based games. I think I remember one Werewolf game which came out around the time when Deus Ex was new.

I would like to see some one like Rockstar possibly do it.. They have shown with games like GTA4 that they can make a unique experience with adult comedy and humor and other such things.. Something that was a cornerstone of the Vampires Masquerade game.

... What series have they bothced? Grand Theft Auto was a amazing series.. And it shows with the most recent installment they can create the dark deep and humorous atmosphere that was prevalent in Vampires the Masquearde Bloodlines.. I have seen no other dev in recent times that was capable of doing it.. Hell even looking at titans like Bioware, the majority of their games have been hopelessly deriviative in enviroment lacking any real humour aside from the dry humor you see in that type of stuff.. The only recent game that I have seen to even match the atmosphere of Vampires was GTA4.. No I hope they would improve combat and give you the choices you had in Vampires.. Though of course we could always want the original dev to do it, but this isn't a perfect world and that dev is dead.

You can't even force AA in GTA4 and the memory leaks are awesome, too.

I loved Redemption so much....ahh the memories.... Bloodlines was really interesting, but it ran so buggy on my system I just couldn't play it... shame. Hope they make part 3, but better optimized than 2....

You should give it another try using the official patch 1.2 and the unofficial patch 6.1.. It fixes the majortiy of bugs of the game.. I have come across very few.

Did it fix the framerate? I played it on 2 "super" computers and the bad optimization made the framerate shudder... Also, the combat was broken I remember, it wouldn't react or remember your actions....has that been fixed too? Are those patches still available? I have my copy of Bloodlines somewhere around here....

GTA san andres was alot better game than gta IV, if only it had the graphics. hopefully the next one turns out to be better. anyways i really liked redemption better than bloodlines, bloodlines had better graphics and better humor, but redemption had a much much better vampire feel to it. and the leveling system on redemption was much better, with bloodlines there's really not a whole lot of difference between the clans and you couldn't really design your vampire well

I agree with Redemption been better, it had more that vampire feel....so it was hard to surpass it. Bloodlines did a great job anyway (as little as I played it). GTA San Andreas was great, but I just didn't like the whole RPG feel to it.... get better muscles, defend your neighborhood, I really didn't miss any of those features in GTA4...

yah i didn't like the muscles part all that much but you gotta admit riding bikes was awesome plus planes ect, and i really liked the gangs myself. also the police overall seemed better in san andreas, as in funner in the game department. i dunno why but i just hate police encounters in gta IV. im not saying gta IV wasn't a good game, just not a great one, and certainly didn't deserve a 10. i played san andreas for alot longer then i did IV, altho i was playing it on the 360, i plan to buy it for the pc soon and hopefully there's some good mods out there to ton it up a bit

There are multiplayer mods to both Vice City and San Andreas

But yeah IV was supposed to have been next generation but ended up like a weak copy of GTA III, even the city being a duplicate.

iirc CCP and White Wolf are trying to make a Vampire The Requiem MMO, but it's still in development

as CCP owns White Wolf I think its likely to happen, but given the possible size and complexity of what they want to pull off (think an EVE style WoD) it's going to be a while before its out or publicised that much

A MMO sounds like a awful idea

True....the police encounters in 4 were more easy to me than SA, maybe I just got better at evading them... I loved SA, pero also the world in 4 felt more alive to me for some reason. In the end, they are both Awesome games, shame 4 was so badly optimized though...

I looooved Bloodlines with a passion. I really wish it'd be continued, but I have high doubts. Considering it's 'age'.

To me Grand Theft Auto 4 illustrates that Rockstar is capable of making the story dialogue, humor and overall feel that would do Vampire the Masquerade game justice.. Though its a big if on how well they can do dialogue choices, something I don't think they have done before.. Or more open ended ways of approaching things..

If you played both VTM and Legacy of Kain then no, unfortunately there are no more games like that. :(

In fact there just way to few games that let you play "Dark Side" character, and half of them are not serious settings, (Overlord)

Life sucks huh ;)

and overlord eww

MMO ??? still have to make up my mind about that i genreally have bad experience with mmo's though

Still... It would be better that no other vampire game lol.

Why do developers seems so intent on ALWAYS killing vampires? where is the love?

I would consider blizzard(can't think of bad game the maybe except WoW :P ) or maybe the polish developer of withcer for making the game.

One game came to mind, even though it is not vampirish is the Devil may cry, that is one not nice guy ;)
