Game cancelled due to 7th image…
Just what I needed to have flash up on screen while viewing a non-‘NSFW’ marked article while at work…
It’s a piece of concept art, if your company is so strict about it perhaps you shouldn’t be browsing things like kotaku at work?
You think we’re gonna read THE NEEEEWS at work!? hahahaha
I was disappointed this game never existed.
vampire the masquerade bloodlines and EVE online are both games that I absolutely love even as they have massive faults largely as a result of being over ambitious. Combing the two had to be absolutely fantastic or absolutely terrible but either way it would have been interesting. i’m guessing it was going towards terrible hence being cancelled.
Maybe not terrible, but perhaps the game that was being made wasn’t being quite up to the standard that was to be expected from the IP. I’m also a huge fan of VTMB (it’s a buggy mess, I know) so I was quite disappointed this fell through as well.
i was really looking forward to this one. i love the word of darkness lore and played the pen and paper games a lot. the concept art looks very cool if they kept that level of grime and shadow.
i would have malkavianed the hell out of that game 🙁
Should mark this one NSFW
