Activision confirm a sequel to the fps/rpg featuring Half-Life 2 technology...
Activision today announced a sequel to the relatively unheard PC title Vampire: The Masquerade. Currently in development at Troika Games and based on White Wolfâs pen-and-paper RPG series of the same name, perhaps the biggest interest comes from the fact that âVampire: The Masquerade â“ Bloodlinesâ will make use of Valveâs Source technology â“ the same 3D engine behind Half Life 2.
Choosing from seven different Vampire clans, each of which offer a distinctive range of skills, traits and abilities including supernatural speed, stealth, invisibility, mind control, inhuman strength, combat and stamina. In keeping with the RPG aspect of the original, players will be able to upgrade these abilities as they progress through the game.
"Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines blends the best parts of an RPG and a first person action game, allowing players to explore a sophisticated character development system in an open non-linear realm while experiencing intense action sequences," states Larry Goldberg, executive vice president, Activision Worldwide Studios. "We are going to take full advantage of Valve's Source Technology to send you deep into a dark and intriguing Vampire underworld filled with haunting images."
"With Vampire, Troika is proving Source can reach beyond the world of FPS games," said Gabe Newell, managing director and co-founder of Valve. "The character system, rendering abilities, and contextual AI features of Source combined with the veteran RPG design talent at Troika is a great representation of the innovation we hope to enable with this technology."
"We are very excited to have Activision and Troika producing Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines," said Chris McDonough of White Wolf Games. "They are among the elite few companies capable of taking our property into the world of first person action gaming while still maintaining the story, setting, characters and role-playing aspects of the game."
Vampire: The Masquerade â“ Bloodlines is scheduled for release on the PC in 2004; weâll have a first look at the title at E3.
