Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines fans, here is something special for you today. IGN has just shared a video showing 18 minutes of gameplay footage from the E3 2019 demo of this highly anticipated RPG.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is the successor to the cult-classic Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines and features reactive storytelling, fast-paced combat, and compelling characters with their own hidden motives.
Created in an act of vampiric insurrection, players start the game as a fledgling Thinblood whose existence ignites a war among the vampire factions in Seattle. To survive in vampire society, players will enter into uneasy alliances with Seattle’s factions and join one of the full-blood vampire clans while stalking the city streets for prey, maneuvering complex political relationships, and balancing the need for blood against their withering humanity.
In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, players will immerse themselves in the World of Darkness and live out their vampire fantasy in a city filled with intriguing characters that react to their choices. According to the game’s description, their unique disciplines are a weapon in their forward-driving, fast-moving, melee-focussed combat system.
The game will support real-time ray tracing, NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) tech, as well as mods.
Enjoy!

The dude playing…
Lol..
visuals look like a 2000s movie with vampires. music is trash and the combat is extremely rough, but at least guns are not super inaccurate
How is that last point a plus? You can run around and melee dudes shooting you with guns. That’s not a positive. That should lead to death. It should take special tricks to win a fight against someone who has a gun (unless you also have a gun).
You’re a vampire. You’re much faster and much more resilient than a human. You can take many bullets without breaking a sweat, and you can move at vampire speed. It’s perfectly fine for a char like that to blitz thru gun-wielding enemies.
This is coming from Hardsuit Labs, Which have never made a single-player game before, not surprised this game looks underwhelming.
Well,that explain something…but hey,they still have plenty of time to fix it..
I believe they made that terrible Rogue Warrior fps.
This person from IGN, Dear God that was bad gameplay.
Watching the video, now I know why games and their AI are getting dumber by the year and there is an easy mode for most games.
God that was terrible.
We’d all be playing like this if we grew up in a time when games allow it. 90s kids also did dumb things the first time they played a game but then the game would punish you for it and you would learn. Now games let you do whatever and declare you a winner any way. It’s a feedback loop. If you design your game around being beatable to someone who doesn’t even try to play smart then you’re going to create a dumb game. This is a foregone conclusion. The dumber games get the dumber players are going to act, so by aiming to have a playtester beat the thing on his first attempt they are completing the loop and games are doomed to get dumber forever or until someone wakes up at the wheel and realizes what the industry has been doing. Tutorials in games STILL suck. Difficulty curves in games STILL suck. There has been absolutely no improvement to how games teach the player, they’ve just made games easier and easier to bypass any kind of learning entirely.
Agree on all points. ?
looks like it has potential, but the animations need work, the 3rd person garbage needs to go, and dear lord, that person playing!
This video totally killed my hype.
Now, you’ve crossed the line. Jimmy Page does not play video games! He does however play guitar and have left a legacy that will live on long after we are gone. P.S. The game looks and play like crap, this video took the wind out my sails not that I was anxious about it but still. Pass.
He was sloppy live, during the second half of the 70s more so than the first half. But what he managed to put on records from 1968 to 1976 will live on forever.
I’d love to hear ideas by you that are at least a quarter as interesting as his were.
Why games journalists are so terrible at videogames?!?
Visuals are decent…but oh! the gameplay….sooo baaad!!!
This is unwatchable and it’s not JUST the moron playing with a controller for the first time. This person was able to keep going rather than just getting shot in the face the first time he went into combat throwing random punches at walls while not even moving the camera. Then there’s random bad guys in buildings that you can suck the blood of but inbetween the buildings there are non-hostile people who don’t care that you’re there, until you talk to the leader, then he suddenly does care. You can run up buildings and drop from rooftops onto the open street with a dozen witnesses and not only do you not get “detected” or somehow in trouble for this, the people don’t even react to you at all. This game is going to be a mess. This isn’t 2005. Devs aren’t showing actual early builds of their games any more. This is close to the final quality or they wouldn’t show it.
So much to like here and so much that’s worrisome at the same time…
