Vampire: Bloodlines Preview

GameSpy has put together a preview of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, based upon a recent build they were shown from the guys at Troika. An excerpt to follow:

Boyarsky had left the best for last, though. As a Tremere Blood Magician, he wasn’t going to bother with charm or sneakiness — these boys were going down hard. He started with a sleep spell that knocked out the guard — who he then fed off of. Pumped up with a full tank of blood, the Tremere tore through the house like Star Jones through the buffet at Sizzlers. One spell called “Purge Blood” caused an enemy to vomit up blood until he passed out. He then activated ‘Celerity.” That increased his moving speed to inhuman levels. This caused a beautiful bullet-time effect that let the character move at seemingly normal speed while enemy bullets ambled past. “Possession” let the vampire force one enemy to attack another, and finally “Blood Boil” essentially lit an enemy’s vital fluids on fire until he exploded from internal pressure in a shower of viscera.

Cool!
