Sierra to publish new Buffy the Vampire Slayer game

No, this one isn't based on the movie, either.

Sierra Entertainment has announced plans to publish Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2: Chaos Bleeds for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. The game is currently being developed by Eurocom, and it is scheduled for release during the third quarter of this year.

Not much information about the game has been revealed at this time, but storywise, the game is being designed as a sort of "lost episode" that will take place sometime during the fifth season of the popular TV show. The game will feature five playable characters: Buffy, Angel, Willow, Xander, and Spike. Each character will have unique abilities.

Chaos Bleeds will also feature a multiplayer mode, with games such as one-on-one combat, last man standing, team survival, domination, and bunny catcher.

This new Buffy game is scheduled to be shown at E3. We'll have more information soon.

By Jeff Gerstmann, GameSpot [POSTED: 04/24/03 01:04 PM]Very, very early shots but there ya' go. The game is going to the PS2, GC, and Xbox.

And yes, story from Gamepsot and shots from IGN. So shoot me...

[Bizarro Zod Loves You All]

Damn. Even pixelated Willow looks hot.

[Blunt]

Syd!

[Kid Ego]

Is that a ventriloquist's dummy?

[Blunt]

Yes, that's Syd, from the best episode of season 1.

[Johnny Butane]

Odd...super-fucking psyched that it's moving beyond Xbox, now I don't have to buy one just to play the first game.

[Kid Ego]

Blunt:
Yes, that's Syd, from the best episode of season 1.There's been more than 1 season of this show?

[Angelus]

SID! FAITH! THANK YOU GOD!!!!! OH GOD I'M HAVING A SEISURE! HELP ME JEEBUS!

[Angelus]

Now that I have calmed down, why Xander? What's his ability, run and hide? I want me some Faith.

[Kevin Matchstick]

Is that Ethan Rayne in the back?

[imported_T_M]

Kevin Matchstick:
Is that Ethan Rayne in the back?Would make sense. Kind of hard to tell with all the pixels. I thought it was Giles for a second there.

[Angelus]

And I'm pretty sure it's spelt Sid.

[Angelus]

The storyline is exactly the same as upcoming
novel and comic, and yes Ethan Rayne is involved.

[ClericNismo]

Its sad to see that the fact that its a port actually makes it look worse than the original. When will they learn that starting with the better system and trckling down to the lesser ones makes the overall game look better.

[Charlie Brigden]

When did Zsa Zsa Gabor play Buffy?

[Blunt]

ClericNismo:
Its sad to see that the fact that its a port actually makes it look worse than the original. When will they learn that starting with the better system and trckling down to the lesser ones makes the overall game look better.Might also have something to do that it's only in the early stages in development, dontcha think?

[Angelus]

Don't dare bring common sense into this argument.

[TheTwist]

Angelus:
SID! FAITH! THANK YOU GOD!!!!! OH GOD I'M HAVING A SEISURE! HELP ME JEEBUS!Is that Faith?

Considering it's 5th Season time-wise, I figured it was Anya.

[Angelus]

Yeah but considering it's 5 season time wise, Sid should also be dead.

Relax, it will all fall into place.

Another interesting note is that supposedly, the First will be a villain and that one part of the game will take place in an alternate Sunnydale, perhaps similar to the wish.

[Ryo Hazuki]

These better be EXTREMELY early shots of the game because if the graphical quality from the first is lost because of their need to make money by putting this on PS2 as well, I'm going to be pissed.

[Anyawatchin Angel]

Where's Faith? did it mention her?

Sid the Dummy rocks-"nubile". Hope the guys do the voices again(minus SMG of curse). Don't see why not, it can't take them more than a few hours to knock the lines out.

And why couldn't FPjr. who loves video games convince his wife to take a few hours out of her day to do this game. Oh well the game looks awesome, can't wait to play it.

[Angelus]

It's her in the pic; with dark hair, and arm tatoo. Plus she's on the cover of the novelisation.

Seriously I can't believe I'm the only one who picked that up.

[Angelus]

And like someone said; graphically speaking it's early days. Have patience.

[Anyawatchin Angel]

i see the tat now, but it also looks alot like Cordy. Early stages fine, I just hope they put it on Xbox first and make everyone else wait.
If I can't have GTA3, PS2 people can salivate over Buffy.

[Angelus]

I don't mind really, I'll get it for whatever comes first. The first game showed that licenses used correctly could be a fantastic gamining experience.

And "chase the bunny" mode had me sold.

[ClericNismo]

Yah but the first game wasnt made by Sierra, this one is. And early developement or not the original still looks better. And the original jumped from system to system.

[Angelus]

You mean the original game on the worlds most powerful console looks better than an early version on the graphically inferior PS2?
Get outta here! No way!

Don't know what your bitching about. Ok graphically, its not fantastic, but its good enough. It's not that bad, and it comes close to the look of the original if it was on PS2.

Buffy is THE best licensed game ever, IMO. It's better than a lot of original concept games, as well.

[ClericNismo]

You may enjoy playing the classics on DOS, but i like to keep a nice standard in the games i play. And this is crap plain and simple, but hey you wanna keep paying for dumbed down products have at it. I dont really care that they go multi platform, but would they at least build from the highest one down, you'd think they'd hire people with common sense.

I wouldnt expect major leaps in graphics either, early developement or not the best you can expect is PS2 level stuff, with minor tweaks for Xbox and Cube. Hell im not even getting my hopes up that its gonna be even close to the other one since they changed developers. Sierra's great and all, but normally changing developers is never good. It always changes the game for the worse. Just look at the Legacy of Kain series, take out Silicon Knights and you lose everything that was good about the original.

[Angelus]

Actually, the Soul Reaver series kicks the original's ass all the way to hell.

Look at Sid. Fucking look at him. He is an EXACT representation of how he appeared in the show, and the others are distinguishable.

If you want to bitch, fine. Bitching is a time honoured tradition on the internet. Something I learned is bitching does no one any good.

So your telling me even if the gameplay was fantastic, you would still think its crap because of graphics?

Why don't you bitch about T3 as well? There are no screens for that, but you may as well get started now since you will probably end up doing it anyway.

[Anyawatchin Angel]

They better have the guy who does Sid's voice in the tv show. he fucking rules.

There's a <a href="http://wrnet.crosswinds.net/index.htm" target="_blank">great fansite</a> already up for the game. Check out some new screens and movies there.
