Why cant we get any good vampire games?

[Bruno Magno]

I really love the theme and since i played Vampire The Masquarade: Bloodlines i initiate a long wait for more good games in this genre, but they never came. For a moment i thought we would have World of Darknes Online, and i was willing to spend a good money is this one, even if it would be a MMO(wich i dont particulary like), and suddenly they canceled the title.
Anyone know of some promissing vampire game? Why it apears to be so hard to make good games of the genre?

Good horror period is difficult to do, particularly if you want it to be truly scary. That's why there aren't a lot of them, and most of the ones that do exist are endless zombie apocalypse clones or Slender clones. Horror themed games, while more common, do seem to be a bit deficient in the vampire flavour.

There's an older series called the Dracula series, point and click adventure type things, that aren't bad but you don't want to buy the Steam versions of the first three becuase they have apparently been altered and huge parts have been chopped out and puzzles dumbed down. I think you can still get the good versions from GOG.com, just make sure it's not associated with Meridian and you should get the right versions.

There is also a second V:TM game, Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption but I really have no clue how good it is.

The original Legacy of Kain game on PSX (Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain) was excellent, and the sequels are also said to be quite good. The sequels are available on PC.

Also of course there are always the Castlevania games. :)

It does seem like a mising theme, from being the protagonist or a vampire hunter, there's loads of vampire movies, recent tv-shows., so the folklore is there. A Sherlock Homes Vampire game could work.
And you spent a brief spell as a vampire in skyrim.

I have tried Castlevania, Dark and Skyrim as a vampire.
Castlevania could be a good game if it werent made by japonese, huge wapons and enemies are not a very good mix with vampire genre, Too much ANIME for my taste.
Dark could have been a good thing. They tried to follow some of the steps of Vampire Bloodlines, but the weak and linear story plus the stealth focused gameplay destroyed the fun in the game.
I really liked the skyrim vampire expansion, but the game is heroic fantasy and the vampire model was a little out of the theme, dont mixing well with the rest of the game.

:) I was just watching Nosgoth on AngreyJoe, looks good mutli-player game but not my thang.

Because now vampires sparkle. :P

As much as I'd like to see another game like VtM Bloodlines, i prefer having what we have now than having a disappointment with a new game.
WoD lore is quite demodé nowadays. Those vampires are not cool nowadays. Everyone is rolling zombies right now.

Poor Bela is spinning in his grave. Sparkly vampires ... feh.

I prefer Vampires that burn in the sunlight, live for Blood and dont really care for romance or even sex and they NEED to have fangs...kkkk

Necromancers and vampires don't usually get along.

Good VAmpire games? Because when you play as the vampire it's basically boring since you're super powered and if its fighting against vampires they, like ninjas, become ineffectual.

The Blood Omen series was pretty decent but lets be frank, I consider it a travesty that Legfacy of Kain still does not qualify for re-release.
