It's here and I screamed, really - squealed even.

I think I may just die from too much emotion.

As someone who is a huge fan of VTMB, I was excited to see the announcement and trailer a few days ago - until I watched the trailer, which really didn't grab me, and then learned that nobody from the developers who made the original game was involved. It gave me horrible flashbacks of when the Thief IP got taken over by different developers who made a new reboot a few years ago: the new team just didn't 'get' Thief and the sequel was a very mediocre experience. On the other hand, when Deus Ex got a reboot by a completely different team I guess everyone expected the worst, but Human Revolution turned out to be a fantastic game. Well, when/if it comes out next year, we'll see - I truly hope it won't be a big disappointment. The original is an extremely hard act to follow!

The Pre-order price guarantees I will only ever get to play a pirated version, and most likely I would have to steal a computer good enough to run it. It's almost two weeks food budget for a poor boy like me. From what I've seen on the website and youtube it is going to be far more of an action/shooter style game than the original, so I'm not really expecting to see a sequel. Having said that, If after release it does stand up to the hype, I will consider selling a kidney on the black market to play it.
