Song: "Devil" by Ida Maria (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/kat...) – Facebook page of Ida Maria: https://www.facebook.com/IdaMaria/

Journey into 1918 London with the Ascalon Club in Vampyr’s bumper E3 trailer

Fly through the streets as imagined by DONTNOD Entertainment, in the bumper E3 trailer for their upcoming narrative driven action-RPG Vampyr. Witness deep into the heart of a flu-stricken London, where secret societies operate in the shadows.

Accompanied by the rock song Devil by DA MARIA, set out on an exciting journey with an uncut sequence shot throughout the city’s dark alleys, deadly underground passages and corrupt neighbourhoods and get a first glimpse at The Ascalon Club, a society formed from the richest vampires, unbeknownst to the mortals.
More information.

Well, kudos for making a trailer that says pretty much nothing about the game, and to a Rock song, how original!

That aside, I remember reading about this last year and I'm curious, anyone with better insight who cares to enlighten me on the mechanics and setting of the game?

Last year I penned down this from the Gamescom visit: https://www.rpgwatch.com/articles/vampyr-preview-385.html

All comments are gone unfortunately as we had server issues and I had to return to a much earlier version of the database. I seem to recall there were some reservations about the game, but there was interest.

Is it me or they included british men of letters in a certain scene? :D
I mean, is this a game trailer or a trailer for upcoming Sam&Dean spinoff? ;)

Still, I find it impressive.

[EDIT]
Spinoff it is.
Preorder and you get hunters items. :p

Yea, awful trailer. The previous trailer they had was 1000 times better.

Maybe its becoming a trend to make your game look like a crappy mtv music video these days. The only game trailer I've seen that could pull this off was one from the Witcher 3.

I was referring to this one. But this one actually works, because the music/song they chose was really good. And they integrated the song into the gameplay scenes very well, setting a mood.
I actually went and bought the song because I liked it so much.

There were some crazy rants about vampires killing their victims or not, whilst feeding…but those are best forgotten. Thank the gods the server crashed. ;)

Buying this day 1, but this does not look good. Previews looked whole damn lot better.

And what do you think about this "classic" trailer. That breathing may indicate something.. :)

It is action RPG where you get to murder lots of nameless enemies for little Xp but when you want to kill a named enemy you get lots of XP. Also you get to pick up stuff from bushes and trash cans and similar stuff and craft some random shit.
Only good thing is that if you kill too many people they said London will change and notice them missing (but that only works for those with names, the nameless ones are not important and I guess they got no function in London).

Re: that Elex trailer. I don't like anything about it. And the music sucks. But I have not liked that game ever since it started being previewed here, so take my comment with a grain of salt.

Really interested in this game but that was a bad trailer and the rock song felt so out of place. Current rock song for a vampire game set in London a hundred years ago? Yeah that makes sense. <_<

This is a buy just based off their last game which was pure awesome, life is strange...if they can capture some of that emotion in this I will be quite happy.

Yes, I know it's a different genre but they provided such a good polished game.

Strange. These days, communication is achieved through several stages.
They have already communicated on this product and in this context, the trailer conveys a lot.

But BB lacks a bit on the vampire front.

Which common definition of the world?

BB focuses more on action than this product intends to (a lot is intended to crafting your own story)

Action RPG.

But BB lacks a bit on the vampire front.
BB features the nachzehrer.
