LucasArts Vets Unveil A Vampyre Story 2

March 23, 2009 9:06 AM

Autumn Moon Entertainment today announced the sequel to its 2008 adventure game A Vampyre Story. In A Vampyre Story 2: A Bat's Tale, players will assume control of Mona de Laffite's bat companion Froderick to free Mona from the clutches of Dr. Riga Mortus.

Joining their fellow ex-LucasArts luminary Bill Tiller at Autumn Moon for A Vampyre Story 2 are Jesse Clark and Larry Ahren, who previously worked on such fine adventure games as Sam and Max Hit the Road, Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle.

Tiller plans for a total of at least four games in the PC adventure series, the creator revealed in an interview with IncGamers earlier this year.

I never knew the first game was released. Does anyone have quick impressions of it?

  Some of the voice acting was :/ and I had some problems with getting used to it, but I'm not an adventure fan, so that might be it. Had pretty good reviews I think.

  avatar_58 played it. I believe he posted some impressions at one point.
  
  I would have picked it up if it was on Steam.

  That thread is also full of folks finishing it and giving their opinions, but careful I'm not sure if anyone let spoilers go (not much to spoil though)
  
  Basically it's alright, not the best. Not the second coming or anything, just a decent adventure to play if you are a fan of the genre.

  I only played the demo for it. Was a big disappoitment since I'm used to their Monkey Island titles.
  
  She has a horrible annoying voice that doesn't fit the main character at all, and the puzzles are kinda lame. The graphics are pretty cool from what I've seen. But all together it wasn't enough for me to play the full game.

    come on guys, you gotta give these guys a chance and support them, we fans of classic point-and-click games should do our best to support those veterans, are you expecting ps3 or xbox360 fanboy kids to do that !!! ive played the demo and was kind of annoyed by her mona's voice but come on at least its a lot better than sam's voice in the telltale's sam n max games.
    im going to buy the game very soon and im definitely picking up the 2nd installment once its released.

  I got it. Installed it. Discovered it has a bug that won't let it run on your primary monitor if you have a dual monitor setup and that the resolution is fixed so you can't adjust it to your native resolution. Uninstalled it when a perusal of the game's forums revealed that was but one of many bugs remaining unpatched.
  
  May try it at some later date on my laptop instead where the monitor issue isn't as bothersome but the company needs some serious QA hiring before they think about a sequel.
