Notice how in VtmB the Nosferatu had a unique playstyle? Malkavians had a totally unique dialogue tree? A few clans had unique havens, clan-specific quests? It would have been even more in-depth had the game not been rushed to compete with Half Life 2. And then after you pay $80 for the product, they have the audacity a year later to ask you for another $40-60 in DLC to make the game playable. Almost all Paradox games come out unbalanced, horribly buggy, with massive amounts of standard features either missing or not working. You're okay with a company creating a core product, and then cutting out massive segments of that core product to sell to you yet again at a large price? Paradox Interactive DLC is the bog-standard worst way for companies to do DLC. Realistically, I would dare to maybe expect decent news next year, that's all I'd get from this. They got a Q4 update, and felt optimistic, but can't say much more than that. It's my own speculation, but I think that's what this statement was about. They wanted to see progress themselves before saying anything. I sometimes forget that the System Shock remake is a thing in progress, even though I supported the crowd funding project back in like 2016 or whatever.ĭefinitely a different case, as we're all fans here, and we definitely wouldn't forget. Totally forgot it existed until the week before. People who watch E3 (what's left of it) and game announcement shows will realize a week before a game's release 'Oh yeah, I forgot about this game.' Even if they really liked the trailer. Only if you are super confident, do companies actually show off and announce things way early that it is understandable. Marketing research will also show that if you say things too early, consumers will forget that your game exists. Better to make sure they are this time, I think. The first time around they weren't ready.

I don't think it's a bad idea to let it stay silent for a bit.
