Hey guys remember that Remember Me game and Life is Strange? Well, DONTNOD Entertainment are gonna make an Action RPG wih vampire stuff with the help of pubslisher Focus Home Interactive (which is apparently a pretty cool publisher with developers). Bet you're getting Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines flashbacks... You play as Jonathan E. Reid, a military surgeon who returns from war and becomes a vampire. But that's just the start.

The design is based on the 1918 London Spanish flu pandemic in order to inspire a gothic mood, informing the game's exploration of the dualism of being a vampire—that killing innocents to survive is the price of immortality. The developers conducted research on the events surrounding the period, using both factual and fictional reference points to create the visuals of the London setting, realised with state-of-the-art lighting and post-processes running on the Unreal Engine 4. The paintings of Phil Hale influenced the rendering of the art style.

The game will use Unreal Engine 4 and is set to release sometime in 2017. The developers have shown they have some capable writers and builders with the last games, but Remember Me had a lackluster gameplay, so you can see why some would be worried. I'd honestly feel more confident in such game if it was Obsidian Entertainment developing IMO, but I'd rather give them a chance.

Some old Gamespot interview. And there is something interesting there:

Jonathan E. Reid is a brilliant doctor who served during the war and became familiar with a brand new blood transfusion technique that's saved many lives. When the game begins, he's just returned from the war, waking up after an attack by a mysterious assailant. This attack was the cause of his transformation into a vampire. We can't reveal all of the consequences but his status as a specialist of human blood is of interest to the vampire society that hides in the shadows.

Certainly sounds potent conceptually. Now for the good ol' wait for the execution.

Aw man, I thought no one else made a thread for this game.

Oh well.

Teaser's interesting, even if I wouldn't touch this game with a 10 foot pole.

Still, good for those who like this kind of business.

Looks pretty cool. Heavy focus on lighting.

Typical Victorian London, an argument turns into a murder.

The game wasn't shown at E3 yet, this trailer is apparently a leak. Will post the official version due to better quality, and this one might get taken down.

So some combat was shown at E3. A bit too short, but it seemed like aslower Bloodborne. The footage is still stated as pre-alpha so the combat might improve. Kinda wish they showed quests and stuff...

Hmmm....I think they need to improve upon the sound design and quicken the weapon strikes up a little bit. What I am saying there isn't bad but the sound as it is is making it hard to feel the impact of the weapon strikes. It does not sound like he is hitting flesh....

Looks pretty good. Combat looks nice and solid. Interesting that the vampires are a known threat, though.

Big bump with an E3 trailer and a release date of November this year.
