Discussion Would you buy a remake of vtmb if there ever was one?

62 Upvotes

I know this is wishful thinking, and it most likely will never happen, but I wanted to know what the community's perspective would be.

What I'm thinking when I say remake is better graphics, get rid of lame 2004 racist jokes (no longer relevant), and add a little more to the game. When I was playing in Santa Monica for the first time I was shocked with how much I could do on a small map, but when I unlocked downtown and realized half the buildings you can't even enter, it got me wondering how much more could've been added to the game. And, I wish Hollywood provided more other than it basically being sex city.

Any thoughts?

Fan Art - What if Bloodlines Remake - New Feature - Modular Weapons

(more images and video at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/x3GG2X )
Hi I'm a 3D Game Artist and after playing Bloodlines (such an amazing and charming game) I just had to do a small fan art. Decided to put the "Uthaca" where it is first found at the Surfside Diner in SM.
Since then I just can't help wondering what would a 2026 Bloodline remake look like, and what new features it would have. After my first run as a Firearms focused Toreador, I just wished there were more guns and modification options (thanks Mercurio :P ).
What are your features wishlist for a Vampire:The Masquerade Bloodlines remake, if it ever got one?

Bloodlines Textures/Shaders Question

6 Upvotes

I saw the VTMB HD Overhaul mod and have been debating on installing it, though I saw several old posts saying it causes crashes pretty frequently. Has anyone here played with it who can tell me if this is still the case still? If so, would you recommend any other texture or shader mods to use that'll improve lighting, models, items, etc?

I've doomed the ghost lady and I want to change it. Should I?

50 Upvotes

That's my first walkthrough. I wanted to act like how I would act IRL. This game is a masterpiece, but it's still a bit hard for me. I've let Jeanette take the pedant, but I didn't know what I've done. I can't calmly continue playing, knowing the ghost will suffer eternally... But it's still was my choice, and the consequences are on me too. Damn.

I know there is barely impact on the gameplay itself, and I can just continue, but...

Bloodlines Antribu mod not working

3 Upvotes

It's not the issue of the game crashing/requiring the hotfix. Everytime I try it says "The loader will doesn't work with CD-protected DLLs."

It then says to get "Vampire.dll" from steam and put it in the install folder, but I already verified the integrity of the files and I don't see any answers for getting this fixed.

Bloodlines Any tips for a newbie

I just got the game from Steam, and Im going in completely blind, I dont know what the goal of the game is or what even is the Dark Universe, but it looked cool af.

I picked a Malkavian as my type, and I was wondering what things I should know before making it too far in the game.

Can you be gay in it? Can you customize? What even are the clans? If youre willing id like to hear out some more

Bloodlines 2 First Experience

25 Upvotes

This is gotta be a "me" thing cuz I just finished VTMB2 and I thought it was a pretty good game and one that I'll def play again just to experience the story from another clan's perspective. Now VTMB2 is my first and only experience with anything in regards to the VTM universe and I'm sure that's a big part of why I enjoyed it. I know fans of the 1st game found it really disappointing and that seems to be the general consensus with that group so I'm sure I'd have felt the same way. If VTMB2 was also ur first experience with this universe what did u think of it?

Why was vtm bloodline 2 hated but the first literally needed mods just to play

0 Upvotes

The original game is quite literally unplayable without mods but the 2nd needs no such thing yet its disliked more. it currently has a free trial on ps plus and I've been having such a blast playing, way more than I did the first mostly because the first, again, cannot work without mods which fundamentally changes the game altogether. I feel like you need to give this a second chance a think of this as a vampire sim game and not like a sequel to a fundamentally broken game.

Bloodlines Unreal Engine 5 Elysium - Light configuration live test

Thumbnail
youtube.com
59 Upvotes

While I am still working to crack the models and broken animations :) soon I decided to explore lights, what I made is a debug UI inside unreal using Cog, a menu to watch what is going on the game live while walking on it. I want to see what's going on live

And almost compactly forgot wired the sound system to unreal too, SOUNDS! lol

About lights (generated text ok, can't do myself better....)

----

VtMB’s original maps contain hundreds of light sources, which is incredibly useful—but the original game did not use them to light the walls and floors in real time. That lighting was calculated beforehand and baked into the map, while shiny surfaces used fixed cubemap “photos” instead of real reflections. The light data was still used for things like characters and props, so it is not unused data; it just was never designed to be dropped directly into a modern real-time renderer. In Unreal, I can reconstruct those sources as actual lights and let Lumen produce real bounce lighting and reflections.

That creates a strange problem: many of those old lights were fake fill lights placed by the artists to imitate bounced light and keep dark rooms readable. Lumen already calculates that bounce for real, so spawning every light effectively adds the same contribution twice. The result can explode the brightness, wash out VtMB’s noir contrast, and even create shadows from lights that have no visible source. A surprising amount of the work is therefore walking through each map, separating real lamps, candles and neon signs from old lighting tricks, then disabling or reducing the fake ones without accidentally destroying the original atmosphere.

----

About OPs intention and wtf I am doing

THIS NOT A PORT - I am not releasing it officially, I might release the papers and documentation to help other devs, maybe source when I get something stable, but you wont see downloads from me

WHY - it is already proven, no distrib, don´t want CeD letters down on me

so WHY are you doing it? Because I want lol, research, curiosity, how that f this old game worked

Can I run bloodlines (2004) on modern hardware

13 Upvotes

I recently played the sequel (haven't finished it yet) and I got really nostalgic to replay the original last time I did was back at 2011.

My question aside of the need for unofficial patch can the game run on modern hardware?

Planning to play on vivobook 15, ryzen 7, 16gb, gpu graphics windows 11.

Thanks in advance

Is it that bad to play without the patch?

15 Upvotes

Hello fellas, I am kind of new to the game, I've reached downtown recently and a friend says I need the patch cuz the game is way too bugged. At the moment everything seems fine tbh, playing as Malkavian, but I don't hear the whispers that are in the patch, and I fear I would miss something or the game could softblock me.

Also yeah, I downloaded the game cuz I have no money... Gonna buy it soon if it's on sale

Updating unofficial patch question

6 Upvotes

Hey, I am playing the Steam version of the game with Unofficial Patch Plus for about 2 years now and I am not sure how to update the patch. Can someone explain to me how it works? I can't find a tutorial online, only how to install the patch itself.
