Vampire the masquerade bloodlines explosive beginning

вЂњThe great thing about the World of Darkness IP,вЂќ according to Brian Mitsoda, Narrative Director for Hardsuit Labs (and story lead for the original Bloodlines), вЂњis that you go to any city, and there are a thousand stories you can tell. The demo I saw took us through not only the foggy streets and alleyways of Pioneer Square, which serves as one of the gameвЂ™s explorable hub areas, but down through the sewers and SeattleвЂ™s creepy underground city and - in a fun nod to the originalвЂ™s opening in Santa Monica - the waterfront district, complete with a ferris wheel on one of its piers. Hardsuit LabsвЂ™ rendering of present-day Seattle looks great, itвЂ™s modern-gothic aesthetic creating a dreary yet vibrant world that IвЂ™m excited to explore for myself.

So, yes - Bloodlines 2 is undoubtedly the successor to the original that it claims to be, but it definitely does not look like a game based on something from 2004, either. Lastly, youвЂ™ve got to manage all of this while keeping it hidden from human sight - maintaining the titular вЂњMasqueradeвЂќ - to ensure that the world your vampiric masters have worked so hard to create isnвЂ™t suddenly thrown into chaos. Simultaneously, youвЂ™re also trying to maintain a grasp of your humanity, which can become harder and harder the more you feed on humans or give in to your newfound beastly urges.

The core aspects that made up the original are still there, of course - you play as a newly-minted (or вЂњembracedвЂќ) vampire, trying to survive the secret world of vampires, werewolves and other things that go bump in the night which youвЂ™re now a part of.
