Bloodlines takes place in Los Angeles, but as Leonard Boyarsky--the game's project leader at Troika--told us, it's not a Los Angeles we would recognize. There's a dark, gothic look to the 3D world that Troika is creating, something that's evident in the first images of the game posted above. For all the political wrangling that may take place in the safe areas where you're prohibited from showing off and using any vampire powers, there are other dangerous areas where you'll have to use all the weapons and powers available to you to survive. Boyarsky told us to expect the combat to be as fast and furious as a first-person shooter, and the game will have a wide range of modern-day weaponry that will be at your disposal, including katanas, Mac-10s, and Uzis, to name a few.
