On
this RPGnet thread, Ethan Skemp chimed in about W:tA's themes, and how it compares to Werewolf: The Forsaken.
To elaborate on this point, several of the recognizable precedents aren't classic werewolf stories; Werewolf: The Apocalypse was influenced on a literary level by things like stories out of Norse legend and epics like Beowulf. Where Vampire tends to ask questions like "What are you willing to do to survive?", Werewolf asks "Are you ready to die in battle for what you believe in?" It's a game about a war that you're not winning, but that needs to be fought anyway.
Werewolf: The Forsaken will be different, theme-wise. Some of the core concepts will translate over, but the focus will not be on The War, but rather The Hunt. Regrettably, I can say no more yet.
