At best it's a four to five years affair, with at least a Kickstarter/figstarter along the way and pretty much only Obsidian with all their faults to do the job appropriately.

I'm not getting my hopes up jusssssssssst now.

More like it costs almost nothing to trademark these things, so trademark them all and decide in five years if you'll do something with it.

This. Though I'd totally get into Kristen Stewart.

Read post 26 and stop trying to crush my dreams.
That better turn out good or I’ll be cross with them.
I hope this game is for real. I'd hate for it to turn to vapor before our eyes.
Between the new GOG release and now this I am optimistic that we may see something. If so, I hope they do not screw it up. Obsidian is the only developer operating today that could do a proper followup to VtM: Bloodlines, but it sounds like Obsidian has a positive relationship with Paradox.

Maybe it is something crazy like them "finishing" Bloodlines, going through the old game and adding the sort of content the modding community can't produce. Multiple pathways that take into account non-combat character builds, more intricate ending levels, a refined stealth system, a proper inventory system, that sort of thing. One can only dream....

Now all we need is a Troika reunion (even if at another company), and an appearance by Rik Schaffer.

EDIT: Unless I just misunderstood your last post! :-)

Breja: You did. I was making a joking ("batty"! get it?) remark to you about Marioface5.

I think I may have to let the vampire puns rest in peace for a while. I might be spreading more confusion then humor.
If it wasn't clear, I understood it was a joke and was trying to continue the puns. "Count" might have been too subtle.

Lin545: What is the chance that this causes the PULL of VtMBL from GOG shelf due to IP change? Has IP ownership changed? Can someone comment please?
Since all involved parties are already working with gog my uneducated guess is that nothing will happen with the games presence here. Except the publisher tag of it might be changed from Activision to Paradox. And we might get a massive sale before the switch.
You sure this is about the video game? White Wolf has the Vampire the Requiem Bloodlines series: Vampire the Requiem Bloodlines the Hidden or Vampire the Requiem Bloodlines the Legendary etc.

It's a series of rpg supplement books for the Vampire the Requiem line. I'd love to see another pc game set in Vampire the Masquerade but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Hell, I'd be happy to see a pc game set in Vampire the Requiem. Especially after the Blood and Smoke update.

The IP changed last november or so when Paradox bought White Wolf, the previous owner of the IP.
Until then White Wolf did absolutely nothing with the IP, except sending cease and desist letters to modders (see Project Vaulderie).
Seeing this game on gog was highly probable becase Paradox bought White Wolf ... gog tried for years to get this game but White Wolf were pure imbeciles.
Yes, I know Actision still have the rights on the game itself, but probably Paradox, as the new IP holder, "persuaded" them in favor of a gog release.
So the chance that the game is removed from the gog catalogue is pretty slim, I'd say none.

Actually i think it was CCP that was in charge of those Cease and Desist orders and not White Wolf itself.
