Santa Monica, CA (October 31, 2003) - Activision today announced the
launch of the official website for their upcoming game Vampire the Masquerade -
Bloodlines at
www.vampirebloodlines.com.
From Activision:
This Halloween...before taking to the streets to prey on innocent
candy-loving party-go'ers, denizens of the underworld should first check out the
official Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines(tm) website from Activision, Inc.
for some truly scary inspiration. To officially inaugurate the day, fans can
delve into the dark and sacred world of the vampire at
www.vampirebloodlines.com.
If fans do dare to enter the Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines website, they
may live to tell about their impressive stroll through the vampire-infested
streets of L.A. as they browse through these following locales:
Vesuvius (Overview) - This popular vampire hangout introduces fledgling
blood-suckers to the backstory of Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines,
describing how they were unceremoniously sired into The World of Darkness, how
there is a power struggle going on between the different vampire sects in the
city, and how their existence will never be the same.
The Mansion (Features) - It is here that future vampires can check out game
features such as descriptions, pictures and symbols of the different vampire
clans found in the city, as well as sample the various environments they will
encounter while roaming the deadly streets of L.A.
The Mausoleum (Media) - Blood-thirsty creatures of the night will frequently
visit the cemetery, as it's known to be an essential feeding ground - constantly
updated with fresh bodies, screenshots, blood, movies, blood, wallpapers, blood
and concept art.
Confession (Links) - Confession...not the likely place to see too many vampires
since their entire existence is filled with sin. Fortunately, fanged fans can
enter the confessional to seek links to: Troika Games - the developer of
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines; White Wolf Publishing - Creator of the
renowned RPG series Vampire: The Masquerade; Valve Software - Developer of
Valve's Source(tm) Technology; as well as links to the different vampire related
fansites and forums.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines combines classic White Wolf role-playing
with intense first-person action combat, as players assume the role of a
recently embraced creature of the night just beginning their foray into the
gritty underworld of modern day L.A. The journey into darkness starts as gamers
join one of seven different vampire clans - each clan offering a distinctive set
of skills and traits including: supernatural speed, stealth, invisibility, mind
control, inhuman strength, combat, and stamina, each of which will be further
refined as players progress through the game.
In addition to vampire skills and powers, gamers will be able to call upon a
devastating arsenal of weapons including stake guns, shotguns, flamethrowers,
submachine guns and sniper rifles, to name a few. Once players arm themselves to
the teeth they will be ready to tackle the host of human vampire hunters,
ghouls, werewolves, and enemy vampires that inhabit the City of Angels after
nightfall. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is expected to ship in 2004 and
has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
