Looks like generic Ubishit with some dark souls sprinkled in. Lame.

Nah, it looks like knockoff Witcher. New Assassin's Creed games were obviously trying to copy that in the first place.

The Witcher itself is just an edgy subversive take on fairy tales.

looks cool but it just seems like they took the source code of the witcher and shat it back out with a vampire motiff

It looks similar because the artistic direction is meant to be the same
>>
>>3696404
it's not that hard to carry over code, you just make similar systems and that's about it. it won't be 100% the same, of course, I wasn't being literal about the source code stuff but it probably will play and feel the same

This is supposedly the team that made criminally overlooked Thronebreaker. Sadly, I think a generic "third-persion action RPG" is the only way to A) secure big enough budget and B) get enough sales for investors to care.

there's no way anybody who's actually read elric (that's how it's actually spelled) could find a single molecule of resemblance between geraldo and elris outside of the character having white hair and a sword
it's simply impossible. you have either never read elric or are just shitposting.

sapkowski has more in common with zelazny or dumas than moorcock and what ties him to them is more like imitation than plagiarism

>>
>>3696961
I gave it quite a bit of time, I realized it isn't.
>>
>>3697013
I have read both, and I think the similarities go beyond what you have mentioned.

Both Elric and Gerald are somewhat cynical loners (most of the time).

Both rely heavily on some potions - Elric needed them to walk even, at least before he got his sword. Also, both are "gishes" - i.e. swordsmen with magic, though proportions are different.

Both are viewed with distrust due to noticeable physical differences (for Elric these are due to race).

Both are, in a sense, the last of their kind (one of the last witchers/one of the last melnibonians or how they were called).

Don't take me wrong, the characters are very different overall, but there was I think an inspiration/influence.

>>
>>3696908
Slavs like grimderp frowning white dude protags because it makes them look macho and not gay.
>>
>>3697121
okay i concede mostly, i forgot about elric's potions which are a pretty unique trait (even though the potions get discarded pretty quickly for both characters). being cynical is hardly unique. the other two are also sort of a reach but when taken with the others do indicate sapkowski drew on elric when designing geraldo
however sapkowski's wiriting style is so completely different from moorcock, that there's no case for calling the witcher books a copy of the elric stories.
>>
>>3697305
>The writing style is different
No shit sherlock. They are written in very distinct languages and you've read translations of at least one of them.
The similarity to me is more highlighter in other characters than the protagonists. Mostly because Gerald is very generic.
>>
>>3697324
>the difference in style is due to the difference between the polish and english language
i don't think i've ever read a more retarded opinion on anything in my entire life to be honest. i'm gonna leave the thread now, you get to have the last word, so make it good.

I´m interested. Time should be relevant on vampire games. That said 30 days seems to fall a bit on the short side.
>>
>>3697728
Time only progresses on x quests completed independently from actual time so it really depends how many quests make up a day and a night

Well, idk about monster but dark, sometimes broken, broody man is unironically a common archetype.

I mean off the top of my head there's comic characters like Batman, Punisher, Rorschach and Guts.

Then there's that guy from Blade Runner, and Drive.

basically every redpill "Literally Me" character zoomers love watching edits of seem to fall into such a category.
>>

This is the bit that makes me interested. Hopefully this means that there is enough quest variety and choices of what to do to make multiple playthroughs worth it.

Looks like a shitty Spiders game.
>>
>>3696168
They're doing the #1 thing I hate in monster fiction, and that's making the human society absolute shitheads so their evil ass monsters look better by comparison. When I want to play a game about a dark and brooding creature of the night, I don't want to feel good about eviscerating 20 adult men with families and lives because the game pats me on the back and assures me that they're the foot soldiers of an evil chudocracy, trust me anon, everything you do is vaguely justified! No, I want to feel like an evil ass monster, if I want to play as a dark, brooding creature of the night who mourns their lost humanity, I've got the gajillion WOD games to play.
>>
>>3698544
It's just classic subversion by the you-know-whos. All white people are actually evil so it's good when they get randomly stabbed in the streets by a brown lunatic.
Another common media trope, for obvious reasons.

>>
>>3697121
So is it a copy or is it "inspiration/influence".
Very different things.
>>
>>3698544
People are narcissistic, they don't write anything but humans. Just look at every sci-fi alien who talks ever. Besides, that would be a risk and investors don't like risks.
>>
>>3698544
How is that any different then any other game? In the Witcher the majority of human society is absolute shitheads and you don't feel bad when you murder 20 adult men with families and lives. It doesn't matter if you're a monster or not, that's the core gameplay loop for basically any game where you kill people.
>>
>>3699080
There are several anons here comparing the books...
I said it is an inspiration/influence, and I don't think "copy" is anywhere accurate.
Supporting characters, plots, stories overall are too different. Anyone who read both would know this.

Only some details about the main character (and apparently Elric had also been called "White Wolf" in some book title, https://www.amazon.ca/White-Wolf-Elric-Saga-Part/dp/1534445749/) are similar, that's all.
Which is not that unusual, Gandalf/Superman/Sherlock-inspired characters are pretty common.
>>
>>3699130
I don't think he's denying that most games are misanthropic, more that a monster PC is a chance to buck that trend, but they don't ever bother.

>>3696168
I just thought it was cringe worthy. Just some vampire gore with no tact to it.
Also,
>cinematic trailers in 2025
>>
>>3699170
>>3698566
And if the monster PC was evil (who'd even want to play that) killing innocent white people, it would again be subversion from those who shall not be named!!
>>
>>3699214
>who'd even want to play that
People who like fantasy roleplay.
> killing innocent white people, it would again be subversion from those who shall not be named
Having white people preyed upon by parasitic subhumans is not kosher subversion.
>>
>>3696908
Cunt, have you seen anything other than The Witcher from Eastern Europe? Everything they make and write and sing is dour and depressing.

Soldier's songs in Western Europe and the colonies are boisterous and fun and filled with glory.
Soldier's songs in Eastern Europe are basically "Oh thank God our suffering in this life will be over soon, and we might be able to take someone with us to hell."
>>
>>3696168
As long as it's better than Witcher 3 (and soon to be 4) and Kingdom Come (which was always lame), I'm game (still only playing unauthorized copies though :^)).

I agree. They are both white-haired wandering swordsmen who drink potions, but I think the resemblance ends here. I've also seen similar superficial comparisons between Guts and Gerald.
>>
>>3699450
>Epic cinematic trailer with no gameplay
That's how most reveal trailers are. They have like 15 seconds of alpha in game footage at the end and are giving gameplay in the summer. Pretty much how every single game release goes.
>>
>>3699776
Sure, but I learned to never, ever trust them at this stage.

>>
>>3698544
>making the human society absolute shitheads so their evil ass monsters look better by comparison
If the story they're going for is about a human who just turned, I think it works. Dealing with the corruption of humanity parallels the moral degeneration the protagonist should be experiencing as he goes from a good or normal person into an absolute monster. It would actually be kino if the protagonist falls as a reflection of humanity's vice, since monster stories are ultimately about human sin.

It's only a problem if they shoot for "humans are the real monsters" like in the Witcher.
>>
>>3698544
>They're doing the #1 thing I hate in monster fiction, and that's making the human society absolute shitheads so their evil ass monsters look better by comparison.
Do they though? The King in the trailer did not behave like some low IQ tyrant but acted sane and was allowed to make his point. Compare this to the witcher 3 trailer where soldiers try to hang an apparently innocent women and Geralt just kills them.
>>
>>3696168
Well it looks like subversive jewish crap where you're playing the stronk liberal vampires (But they're totally not parasites) destroying Christian society.

Use your brain for five seconds. You've got 80 year old people you can go, and talk to right now. They are not massive libs. A three hundred year old guy is going to be the most massive chud imaginable. Vampires being libs who act like their 20 year old blue haired writers is dumb as hell.

Pic fucking related. It's you. A massive, neckbearded faggot.

This game actually looks like it's going to be good. White male character, interesting premise, phenomenal trailer.

there was literally no moment like this, vampire didn't even shapeshift here, unless you mean the mongolian vampire, which is a completely different character.
