We already knew that Suicide Squadsequel director James Gunn decided to retain a handful of the original films characters for his relaunchincluding Margot Robbies Harley Quinn and Viola Davis Amanda Wallerwhile rounding the flick out with a stacked cast that includes Idris Elba, Nathan Fillion, Alice Braga, Taika Waititi, Pete Davidson, Michael Rooker, and David Dastmalchian (playing the iconic Polka-Dot Man). But today, the neer-do-wells congregated to reveal their villainous identities in a new spot that also offers a first look at their portrayals.

It'd be hard to make a worse movie than the Will Smith one, but this one looks good.

Any one else watch the fandome today? I caught parts of it. The Flash movie looks rad. Wonder Woman movie looks good.

Sorry for your loss, Sunny.

You sound like you regret not calling him sooner so all I'll say is there's no way you could've known. My older brother's last words to our mom was him calling her a fucking bitch then hanging up on her. I told him the same thing. Not the way you want your last moments with someone to go down, but there's no knowing what the future holds.

Both my brother and myself are not religious, but I suggested he "talk" to our mom at the funeral or at her grave. He told me some years later that advice helped him a bit. He made his peace with it.

I played it in Japanese. I'm not at all a weeb and don't understand a lick of the language but I feel playing it in Japanese increased the immersion (if you can stomach subtitles).

Didn't play Kurasowa mode, though. The world is so colorful I couldn't bear to not experience it in full color my first time through. Might try Kurasowa mode next time I play it.

The normal combat is pretty easy to get down but the timing can be difficult on parries. Once you get parrying down its awesome.

Each enemy type is weak to certain stances and you can switch stances on the fly sort of like Nioh.

As you progress you unlock new movesets and weapons and such that really flesh out your abilities and how you approach objectives.

High housing prices, gas prices, highest homeless rate in the country, worst roads in the country (at least theyre working on that a little), too many people showing up illegally and getting everything handed to them while taxpayers get scraps.

You're right. I do recall all of those issues magically disappearing under Schwarzenegger's tenure.

Well, yes, I agree. Hes still better than anything the Democrats have shown up with. (Our state is burning to the ground and the big power company doesnt care if it kills people with negligence. Ive seen what Democrats can do.)

It's burning because your state relies on forced labor from the prison population to fight wildfires:

https://www.insider.com/california-facing-a-shortage-of-inmates-to-fight-wildfires-2020-8

If you ignore how heinously fucked up that reality is, California can't dip into the inmate pool because the prisons are rife with Covid. If we had real leadership in the WH, a national strategy and clear direction to tackle the pandemic, we might not be in the situation we're in and Cali would be free to exploit their prisoners as is their wont

But sure, only democrats are to blame and Trump is doing a spectacular job

There will always be a segment of the population who don't understand what true tyranny is, and they'll cry about "Muh rights!" and "Muh liberty!" because they are too stupid to understand that self-sacrifice for the greater good of the nation is what true patriotism is about.

In light of that, it shows Biden has good intentions and shows some semblance of leadership, which the White House is sorely lacking currently, but because there's that dumbass segment of the population I'm sure it won't be as effective as we would hope it could be.

Welp, this certainly dampens my enthusiasm for one of my more anticipated games :/

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/08/19/brian-mitsoda-has-been-fired-as-narrative-lead-on-bloodlines-2/

Brian Mitsoda has been suddenly terminated from his position as narrative lead on Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2. That this came as a shock to me is underselling it, wrote Mitsoda in a email statement given to RPS. Paradox Interactive have said in their own statement that Mitsoda and creative director Kaai Cluney are no longer part of the team at Hardsuit Labs.

Mitsoda was a lead writer on the original Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines at Troika Games, and his presence on the development team for its sequel lent the project credibility. Most of the Bloodline 2s marketing has put Mitsoda front and centre, both in trailers and at events.

Paradoxs statement, posted to the Bloodlines 2 website, says that the change was a joint decision made by the leadership of Hardsuit Labs and Paradox Interactive.

We appreciate, and value, the contributions of Brian and Kaai, which were instrumental in establishing the games storyline and dark tone and have helped to ensure that we are making a true successor to the iconic Bloodlines. We wish them both the best in their future endeavors, the statement continues.

In his statement to RPS, which is quoted in full below, Mitsoda says that he is incredibly disappointed and frustrated to say that this is where it ends for me on the project. He says that hes been involved with the project since its very beginning, in charge of narrative, and he had never been led to believe that I hadnt succeeded in fulfilling the projects goals. He also describes the games marketing as something which was intensely difficult and took a mental and physical toll.
Bloodlines 2 has been delayed several times during development, with the most recent delay announced last week and moving the game into 2021. Paradoxs statement about that delay mentioned other organisational changes that they would be announcing soon and which would help them ensure the best play experience possible. This is presumably those changes.

Todays announcement also says that Alexandre Mandryka is joining the project as creative consultant to fill the creative director role and help finish the game. Alexandre has been in the industry for more than 20 years and has worked on iconic franchises such as Assassins Creed, Warhammer 40,000, Far Cry, and more. It sounds as if Mandryka is more of a replacement for Kaai Cluney than for Mitsoda.

Its not unusual for developers to leave projects during development, but it is unusual for a creative leads and public faces to depart, and particularly unusual for them to be fired. Even in instances where a development lead could be seen to be disrupting or slowing development, you would more likely work to minimise their role in the production process than dismiss them entirely. In any case, you dont upset the vampire cart if the vampires are heading where you want them to.
Here is Brian Mitsodas statement in full:

Until recently, I was the Narrative Lead on a videogame called Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 for Hardsuit Labs, Inc being published by Paradox Interactive (which owns 30% of Hardsuit Labs). After almost five years involvement with the studio, I was suddenly terminated on 7/16/20.

That this came as a shock to me is underselling it. Ive worked on Bloodlines 2 for almost five years. The story and main cast was initially conceived in my living room. I helped develop the pitch for Hardsuit Labs and helped pitch the project to Paradox in Las Vegas. Ive been in charge of the narrative since the beginning, working long days and sometimes weekends to deliver a successor to Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, and Ive never been led to believe that I hadnt succeeded. Very obviously, I have also been involved in the PR and marketing side of things, even though it was one of the most difficult parts for me. Im a pretty private person press and crowds tend to heavily trigger my social anxiety (which, if youve ever wondered about the gloves, they are armor that make me feel less exposed in situations that trigger my anxiety).

Bloodlines and the fandom of the game mean the world to me. So I lent my legacy with the franchise, my name, and my participation in marketing efforts for the game, even when it was intensely difficult and took a mental and physical toll. This is all because I wanted to do what was best for the game and the team.
The pride in the work, the fan expectations, and the support from co-workers who started out as fans kept me going through this long five years. And Im incredibly disappointed and frustrated to say that this is where it ends for me on the project.

I was not part of the conversations that led to the decision to delay production, and to my knowledge, there were no delays caused by the Bloodlines 2 narrative development. I am confident and proud of the work that I and my team put forward. When that work will be seen and what form it will take is unknown to me.

It was a pleasure to work on this game and with many people at Hardsuit Labs and Paradox and Im sorry I wont be able to see it to the end. I spent years on some of the best characters and dialogue that I ever wrote. Its meant a lot to hear from the Bloodlines community and I do hope that whats finally delivered is as satisfying as I intended it to be. Thanks to all of you who supported me throughout the project.

Hell no. My personal time is far more important. I have a nice house in a nice town and I'm on track to retire at a decent age. More money is always nice but there's only so much I would want to do with that money and I'm happy with what I have now.

Do you think we would be able to play PS3 games on it digitally? I'm absolutely sold on it if we can since I know physically we can't

afaik they're only making the PS5 backwards compatible with PS4. I recall reading that PS4 was not backwards compatible in large part to the PS3s cell processor architecture. Not sure if that's why they're forgoing PS3 support on the PS5 or not, but I doubt it'll happen in any case.

I've heard the cell processor was ahead of its time, and that there's immense potential in the tech but that they're very difficult to work with. I dunno though I know jack shit about this stuff

I don't see any incentive to buy an Xbox SeX for at least the first two years of its life. They've already announced all games in the short term will be playable on both current gen and next gen consoles, and Halo Infinite got delayed.

Same could probably be said for PS5. They haven't been touting both gen support the way Microsoft have but it's been revealed that at least a few titles will be playable on both PS4 and PS5.

With little-to-no real exclusives and only a negligible bump in performance, what's the rush to buy next gen?
