I am looking forward to it. It is about time we get an Eve alternative on the ground

Not sure about APB but I really think Rockstar could clean up if they produced a GTA type of game about vampires or other supernaturals based in a modern city.

I have this horrible vision it’s going to be like Eve. Except with vampires. Frankly, I don’t want to have to deal with all that OOC meta-stuff. It’s one of the reasons I stopped mushing.

They’d probably have an amazing headstart if they purchased the (now defunct) APB assets for pennies (pence?) on the dollar, patched up the shooting and driving bits and then spent a proper amount of time and money on making a nice large playfield, and fixing up Vampire (and Werewolf) and Human gameplay to be top-notch.

I loved the Old Vampire WOD game.

One of my favorite PC games was Masquerade.

I loved the Old world of Darkness, Hell I even loved that cheezy TV show.

Can I have my Setite clan Vampire Puhleeze.

I like vampires, I just don’t want to be one. If the game is too Vampire-centric, I’m out.

I could deal with just Vampires at release, because these are just about the only Vampires that don’t make me want lose my lunch. That being said, I would love for there to be werewolves and mages as PCs, even if they were from an expansion or else needed to be unlokced to have access to them.

I played so much old WoD back in the day, that’d be great. I cannot imagine that they’d do it, and new WoD is very streamlined and plays well. It just … never really captured the spirit of the thing like the old rules did, for me at least.

It’s a very cool idea, but as you pointed out, soliciting basic feedback from the player base doesn’t sound like anything is solid yet. To hitch their wagon to the True Blood/Twilight craze, they’d really need it to be done now. If it comes out in an optimistic 24 months, they’d be chasing the tail-end of the vampire bell curve, which tends to look bad to shareholders.

That said, it’d be fantastically cool and I’d really like to see two factions: Vampires and Humans. It’d be great to be able to convert Humans to Vampires, thus changing their allegience… but something like that really screams for a balancing mechanism to un-Vampire a Vampire!

I'd also like to see them go back to the true World of Darkness, before they ended the whole thing and remade it. /orthodox /angryfanrant
