The Blood of Dawnwalker - Cinematic Trailer & Gameplay Teaser

Sorry - I see the video does not allow embedding - you'll have to click "Watch on YouTube" to see it. Worth a click!

Looks incredible. A small team of of talented devs should make it more focused & impactful. Hopefully Bandai Namco lets them do their thing.

Some more background from the devs:

This is made by the people that were working on Witcher 3 in the past :)

It's a vampire game where it looks like I can play as a vampire.
And honestly that's the bar I have for vampire games. So I am interested.

Where is the gameplay exactly? This trailer is mostly a CGI movie, probably made by a specialized team that has nothing to do with the creation of the game itself. Aside from the movie, there’s barely 20 seconds of short animations taken from the game, and they show almost nothing of the actual gameplay. From what I’ve seen, it’s not even clear what type of game this is - it might even have the same gameplay as Assassin’s Creed at this point.

I dont do drugs.
I mean, i try.
I smoke and im addicted to caffeine, technically drugs but dont really count.
Been some years since i touched pot. I barely drink nowadays.
Everything else ive always refused to touch. I refused to even give then the chance, and if i did i wouldve been doing whateer i could to stop.

But Hype?
Oh boy, oh yes, now THATs the stuff i cant go without.
I was already all itchy and bad from abstinence, took only one hit for it all to come back
Yes yes, this is it
Wait, is that only IT? Ive watched 6 times already, youre telling there isnt more?

I NEED MORE. MORE, ASAP
HEEEEELP

Gameplay footage without showing me the ui elements? They also look like moments where you're stuck in animation where you're not actually doing anything, like the first one is literally an animation of sitting on a building and the camera looking over a town and the your eyes glowing white(what kinda gameplay footage is that), sliding down a building with a screen shake mechanic(big deal lmao), the beginning of a fight(animation where the boss parries you and you get to engage after), and some sort of in combat teleportation animation that's likely automatic(kinda like the fightning in batman games, otherwise not even sure what the point of showing it is if this is a prerendered cinematic) and the last shot which is clearly an in game camera animation where you got no control of the char, once again, and the shot itself is lackluster, the cloth mechanics on those rags is missing, the scenery looks good but basic and it's hard to see what you're even looking at other than a bunch of rocks. Adding some color wouldn't be bad.

Visually the cgi trailer looks good, but the witcher style is there, so I hope they don't just copy the fighting style, I hope he has some new ideas on his own. Still alpha footage, we'll see where it goes. More importantly it comes from a guy that got kicked from CDPR for being a bully, so I think that puts in question the treatment of his employees.

TLDR: The "& gameplay teaser" was bait, should've been called "& gameplay cinematic".

Interesting concept, they say it's not a gameplay trailer and gameplay will be revealed later, let them cook.
