Whoa! Talk about unexpected news! This is great!!

 

Maybe I'll dust off the original in a few months, I haven't played it since it released back in 2008(!). (Has it really been that long?)

I remember the first one ending with

a massive and unexpected cliffhanger when the story was just opening up.

I wonder how they'll tie that into the sequel. They can't just drop players in stone cold, cause that would alienate new players.

 

All in all, I find myself more excited than I thought I'd be.

Judging from the press release, it sounds like it will still be the originally-planned continuation but will be designed in such a way to make sure new players aren't lost. The fact that they're dropping the "2" from the title points to that being the general marketing plan.

 

I see Bill has confirmed on his Facebook page that Rebecca Schweitzer is back as Mona. What's significant about this is back in the day Bill had indicated that he would recast the character due to some negative reaction. In fact, the replacement actress can be heard in the A Vampyre Story: Year One Kickstarter campaign video. Guess he's come back around.

Would be a good time to port the first game to a few more platforms.

Thank God for this. I don't like the voice from that Kickstarter video AT. ALL.

This. It would be great to reconnect to the story in front of my tv on Switch.

I'd love to get AVS1 on Switch, but based on this response to a question about a Linux port it doesn't sound like the source for AVS1 makes targeting additional platforms easy.

 

 

It's a little confusing, though, because I thought AVS1 got rebuilt in Unity as part of its re-release in the last year or so. Regardless, they'd have to do some revamping of the interface for gamepad support. In contrast it sounds like AVS2 is being built from the ground-up with a ReMI-esque interface and consoles in mind.
