TGS 2006 Vampire’s Rain trailer
The TGS 2006 official trailer for Artoon’s Vampire’s Rain shows a bit more than its E3 version. For one thing, we actually get to see more gameplay bits instead of just being flooded with CG cut-scenes. Based on what we have in the video, the game looks like a weird amalgamation of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas, Splinter Cell, and Saint’s Row, only this time you’re up against vampires with powers instead of normal thugs with guns.
Note that I only said Saint’s Row because I assume, emphasis on assume, that it’s a free roaming environment (if it isn’t please correct me). Hey, there was word before that full-scale maps of LA will be used for the game and that a gracious amount of freedom will be given to the players. It could be that they’ve just got really really big maps for the stages.
The title of the game is very apt as the creators have said that rain will be a very important element during gameplay. It only rains every now and then in LA (the area where the game is set), and unlucky for you, rain is the only natural element (that we know of so far) that damages the vampires in the game.
The reports on the playable demo sort of say that the game feels very lukewarm. Not hot, but not cold either. Anyway it’s still a demo so it’s far too early to pass judgement on the game. Click on the video below and see for yourself.
