Great new stuff i mean finally a new trailer. It´s look better but with the confirmation of PS5 and Xbox Series Ports and Corona of course i don´t believe that this game will be out this year.
Maybe if we are really luckly its the rumored Christmas date but right now i doubt that. In my opinion they should scrap the PS4 and Xbox Version and focus only on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X for next year. And add the Nosferatu as playable clan.

Even if they scrap it, I doubt the game would look or function that differently then where it is now. They are probably getting really close to feature lockdown points so they can start working out bugs and other issues for any kind of launch window.
As for the character noone has asked for: I'm also a member at a VTMB board and I believe, every single character of that game has been asked for to return, even the very dead (as in no longer undead) ones like Lacroix and Andrei (I love Andrei, his voice actor is great, but he is dead in the vanilla game in ever possible setting - he can survive in the UP + and in the ClanQuestMod as both have Sabbat endings, but those are not canon). But if I had to guess, I would say, it's the guy from the Red Spot with his band.
What character do you want to make a possible appearance? I would love to see Beckett again. Since he is canonically travelling the world in WOD lore, he could be a possible candidate. Damsel would be nice too and she is is canonically in Seattle.
As for characters, I'd love to see again, but probably won't: the Nosferatu, Gary, Bertram, Mitnick - not so much Imalia, she is mean. But maybe you will get some email from one of them. I heard the voice actor, who voiced Gary, is dead and I can't imagine anyone else doing such a great job.

Looks like the official website was down early because they updated some part of it, it's back up now.
They changed some of the background clips to those on the new trailer (some dancing added) and a few new images on the "game info" page.
I went back to see if I can find the NPCs on the website, well those lesser known (Mister Stabby Damp is easy to remember) and the blondie vamp girl with the "honor finger" is on the Camarilla faction poster (I knew I saw her before).
The vampires on the clan page have a short scene in the new trailer (standing together in front of the PC).
And there is a serious lack of the Unseen (I'm sure its on purpose).
Even if they scrap it, I doubt the game would look or function that differently then where it is now. They are probably getting really close to feature lockdown points so they can start working out bugs and other issues for any kind of launch window.
Well who knows but i personally doubt that the normal PS4 and Xbox One Version would run very well.
I REALLY like the trailer. There were some worries about VTMB2 being anodyne and inoffensive from the expected quarters of the internet but that scene with Stabby was ~chef's kiss~.
I also like the direction they've gone with Cross, he seemed like the generic Ventrue before, those red shoes have flair.
Reactions in general seem split between console players who don't really know what's going on and rag on the graphics/animations, people who do know what's going on but for some reason think the game is being made by/has a AAA studio/budget and people who are comparing this to initial videos and seeing a marked improvement.

Naturally. Back in the day, Troika was the poster boy for AAA polish. How could returning fans expect any less? /sarcasm
I thought the trailer looked pretty good. My big thing is I still need to see more of the combat, I really hope they got rid of that swap to third person every time you dodge animation. But the rest of it is looking good so far

Yeah, if they're going FPP, it should be for all gameplay, not popping in and out during combat of all things. I'd prefer TPP, but can handle FPP if everything is consistent and built with that perspective in mind. Bloodlines 1 was a pain in the arse in FPP.
But I really liked the trailer...the human puppets were...unsettling.

Ya the puppets and the section that looked like the player was tripping out looked pretty interesting. But I did notice they still had the swap to third person when the dude scaled the building so doesn't look like they've removed that. I think for the combat flip dodge thing they really just wanted something that looked cool but seriously i'll just take a simple sidestep rather then being swapped in and out each dodge.

Oh, the ladder/building climb jumping out to third person briefly is something I don't have an issue with. Mostly because it seems unlikely that it will cause a 'fail'. The jumping around of perspective in combat could cause a fail, though. I would definitely take a simple sidestep, as you say.
Regardless, I can probably get used to it. Just not my preference, is all.
The section where the the player was tripping out looked cool. Wonder if that is either some form of Frenzy - i.e. the world looks crazy because you've - temporarily - lost control - or hints of Malkavians?

Ya the building climbing one wouldn't be too jarring since it wouldn't' happen nearly as often as an in combat ability. Just gotta wait and see at this point for the next combat trailer.
As far as the tripping bit, if I had to guess some sort of Malkavian Dementation effect in play

Regarding the new trailer and the...dancing...
Do we think that is something created specifically for the trailer? Or are they snippets of cutscenes from the game?

It was said on the official discord, by the community manager, that the dancing was created for the trailer, but it was all in-engine. The not dancing is clearly gameplay, it just look more polished than last year.
That means don't expect Prince Cross or Mr. Damp dancing like that in the game. Well not Cross at least... Elif hangs out in a dance club and her part of the trailer looked more polished so I suspect it might be in the game. Maybe not framed exactly like that though.

Ah - thanks. You and Kymira are pretty much my only sources of information on this game I agree the Elif stuff did look...different to the other dancing, so you might be right.

The HSL devs left the discord when the delay was announced as not to get bombarded with questions regarding that and the release date. Paradox CM also removed the hidden "forums" tied to your clan role-selection last year. Both are back today.
This makes me think we might get a release date announced soon. Otherwise, the devs wouldn't be back anyway.

I wouldn't mind an 'intro' scene (I know we see him before but I mean in terms of talking with him) where the fledgling finds Damp dancing with his family of Christmas stockings. I can't think of many better ways of framing exactly what you're dealing with than that tbh.
