So Bloodlines 2... might actually be good?

I spent an afternoon playing Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and I'm starting to think it will actually be good

Yeah, was reading that. I'm quietly hopeful for this, mostly down to the Dishonored comparisons.

Admittedly, I didn't play the original as I had no means to at the time, and it never seemed like an old game to play without having originally played it.

Haha you can keep that one I think, I am the worlds biggest pussy when it comes to scary singleplayer games!

I'm absolutely into it.

The uh interestingly designed helmet has me intrigued, that's for sure. In all seriousness, it looks like it could well deliver on the promise The Callisto Protocol failed to deliver upon mostly due to its very at times unconventional combat system that I initially enjoyed but grew to dislike as I went on - I gave up some 5 hours in which is a shame as the actual horror elements production and graphics were excellent.

Funnily enough, I almost included a "hope it's better than Callisto" comment. I wanted to like that game, but the constant vents and squeezing through spaces grew so tiresome and felt like such a waste of my time.

My comments to Snowy through Discord at the time:

"And that's that in the fucking bin. Incredibly pretty game with bland, often irritating combat, great looking levels with utterly wank design. Constantly funnelled through vents and tight spaces that it starts to feel like it's wasting your time. Uninstalled."

I stand by it.

FromSoftware have announced their new single player game and it's.... a Switch 2 exclusive.

Aesthetically it looks more Bloodborne than any of their others, but it's leaning a little more in the steampunk direction. Not really any detail on how it plays yet, but it looks good.

It was more or less the only thing from the direct that made me consider buying a Switch 2, other than an upgraded BotW.

It’s PvPvE so…. meh? Maybe?

Raid · Post by **Raid** » Wed Apr 02, 2025 5:09 pm

Oh, okay then. I guess that's why it's a Switch exclusive; I did think it a bit odd that they'd announce their next big game as not being multi-platform, but what little I could tell from the trailer as being multiple players looked like their standard terrible co-op functionality.

Rumor: No More April Fools, Titanfall 3 Is Coming Next Year - Gameranx

Respawn Entertainment is rumored to be finishing development on Titanfall 3, and the long-awaited mech shooter is releasing next year.

Titanfall 2 single player was excellent and the multiplayer was really enjoyable. I tried Apex Legends and was left utterly cold, it had fuck all to do with the original games.

Not sure what to make of this, not the best trailer perhaps. Studio formed by some people who did GTA, Max Payne and Red Dead Redemption so could be promising.
