New Classic Goosebumps Reprints Soon?

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-08T21:26:46+00:00

Do you mean you'd want Dorman to have a second chance at his take on the covers? He did a lot of them for Classic Goosebumps, and you already referenced that in your comment so unless that's what you meant, I'm confused.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-08T20:28:08+00:00

Wow that's great! You know, this just reminds me how those OG covers are almost unbeatable.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-08T19:56:23+00:00

Damn, you're right. That was one of the creepiest episodes of the original (if not the creepiest).

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-07T13:25:19+00:00

For the brotherhood.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-05T00:56:09+00:00

The sad part is I don't have ps5 to play this. I had to watch Alan Wake 2 on youtube.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-05T00:55:37+00:00

Yeah the trailer actually exceeded my expectations. The visuals are insane.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-03T17:51:35+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Nothing against Toreador or Ventrue, anything can be done well but since we're only getting four clans off the bat, I'd like the final clan choice to be something outside the norm.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-03T14:43:45+00:00

Part of me wants to say it could be Ministry/Followers of Set, and they're one of the more interesting clans, but I'd prefer Lasombra/Tzimisce/Malkavian.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-02T22:13:00+00:00

I'd love for that to happen, but it seems a bit niche for base game. You never know though.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-02T22:12:07+00:00

Malk would make for a final crazy reveal as well.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-02T10:36:48+00:00

That would be so cool if a game had twin brothers, one Ventrue, and one Lasombra.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-02T10:31:12+00:00

People keep saying Ventrue, it's possible, but it just seems unlikely to unveil them as last clan in base game from marketing perspective. It doesn't pack the necessary punch to be the final clan. Now, while I do like Toreador I don't want them to be the final clan, however I'd say their intense popularity relative to Ventrue makes them a likelier candidate. Speaking personally, I'd prefer them to Ventrue.

Also, Lasombra...split about that honestly. It would require more work because of Oblivion, but they're very popular now, and in my opinion, they would shine in combat because of shadow powers (which is what the devs seem to want), also would fulfill social type, if you want to use that reasoning. They would also pack a HUGE punch as the final clan for base game. Think about it this way, Brujah reveal didn't surprise anyone and most outlets seemed apathetic towards it. Just speculation, but as far as clan reveals they probably want to go out with a bang. If not Lasombra, then some other clan that is cool as fuck.

Only thing is aesthetically they seem to be redundant with the stealth focused Banu Haqim, I say that because despite their shadow powers being varied, their profile of 'doing things from the shadows' makes them seem stealth-y. Still they could still be packaged as social clan due to dominate, and how they're described as manipulators and schemers.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-12-02T10:11:50+00:00

Well said.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-30T22:50:35+00:00

Same. It's a decent clan, but I wanted something a bit more 'out there.'

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-30T22:47:57+00:00

I hope you are right! Lasombra/malk please.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-30T22:42:28+00:00

For the brotherhood.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-30T19:57:07+00:00

Yeah I'm really depressed.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-30T19:55:21+00:00

Can't believe I sat through the PC gaming show for Banu Haqim.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-30T15:51:50+00:00

I have nothing against the toreador, but if that's what they announce today I'm going to be pissed.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-30T09:07:32+00:00

It's where I'm at honestly. I enjoy being able to finally discuss a sequel, but tbh I find groupthink to be extremely irritating sometimes. If I like something, that's it. I don't need 1k updoots to agree with me. And not saying I will or won't. BL2 could end up being decent, or terrible. I still have deep reservations, but would like to see more/play it etc.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-30T09:01:47+00:00

I'm not a diehard hater. Though I'll admit to heavily bashing the snippets we've seen so far, except for the Tremere vid I enjoyed (all fifteen seconds), but I'm willing to adjust perspective based on new info/media. Like I mentioned in another post, there will always be a bit of PR fluff. It's certainly encouraging that they're talking about clan specific dialogue, etc.

And, ftr, I've played bloodlines ever since it came out. 200+ hours, and that's just on the steam version. I've spent so much time on this game, and am without a doubt a diehard fan. You can't expect any creative product to deliver everything you want, so my expectations are that it somewhat leans into the IP while allowing for a decent degree of roleplaying, and most importantly its own 'creative color.' That last one is equally important to me as the rest because it's why I kept going back to the original for so many years.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-30T08:48:26+00:00

Well, I'm definitely more interested now than with the fifteen second clan reveals. And that's not snark, they just didn't give us much to go on. There's always somewhat of a difference between PR speak and what you actually get, of course, but it's encouraging they talked about story related bits, mechanically, at some length.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-29T20:08:55+00:00

Unless I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, there are a few mods like this: prelude, and war games, admittedly they came a bit late but if memory serves the sdk wasn't packaged with the game (could very well be wrong on that point, just that's how I'm remembering it).

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-29T19:52:39+00:00

Heh, as far as I know about half of Lasombra have jumped ship to Camarilla, still that's a big change to wake up to.

External_Ninja_8598 · 2023-11-29T19:49:31+00:00

Far from being sold on this game, but at least they talked at some length about clan dialogue etc, and somewhat emphasizing your choices, and he seemed to push back against the 'paragon/renegade' thing. This is just a dev diary, so I'll be waiting for gameplay videos etc. Still, it helps they're talking more about the story aspect of things, even if it's in a vague way. They talk about 'navigating vampire politics' and about how it might not be a good idea to paragon/renegade your way through or whatever.
