Rock Paper Shotgun throws down some exclusive screens and an interview with the devs:

Larger versions of the screens available in the RPS article. Some choice quotes from the devs:
"If you have in your head the boardgame as you play that, and XCOM, and mix those two together. That’s the game experience you can expect from Space Hulk."
"We’re trying to make it as cinematic and creepy and claustrophobic as possible."
"Our vision is that we essentially want to keep the claustrophobic atmosphere, you’re up against millions of Genestealers potentially, you’re the underdog. You’re going to lose this game three out of four times, just as in the boardgame."
"I think the screenshots speak for themselves. We are making a PC game, and we are doing a downscaled port for iOS.
"[When RPS asks for a Release Date] It’s not going to happen on this side of Summer. And it’s not going to be a Christmas release. Hmm!"
"We have signed a deal with Steam directly already. No Greenlight, no middlemen publishers."

Full Control who is well known for...uh...being located in Denmark. Soon to be well-known for
motherf'in SPACE HULK.
Anyway, let's talk about how awesome SPACE HULK is. Anyone still got their original board games lying around? I gotta go dig one up!

Always wanted to be a Guardsmen in that kind of situation. However short the experience might would prove to be.
Rereading Salvation's Reach by Dan Abnett, and the setting is on a hulk. Wish this were on Xbox!
Because...oh my stars.
Everyone has to buy two copies of this so we can get a video game version of Necromunda and/or GorkaMorka.

I loved the melee combat, one slip up and you're dead.
now bring back warhammer quest
Or a Dragon Age style inquisitor game.
And no, not Dragon Age III: Inquisitor. I mean an actual dialogue wheel spinnin', smile-girl romancin', heretic smiting Ordo Xenos game.
Ordo Xenos: the anti alien inquisitor who never actually hunt aliens. Good times!
There is only war.
Those three hundred iron skulls don't get sewn onto that long coat by wishing, ya know.
Everyone, from the Undead Emperor to the lowliest dakkaboy has at least a 300 Embroidery skill.
I've been playing the board game ever since it first came out--even judged linked multi-map tournaments at Gen Con. I have the old video game on PC and Playstation, and the free indy version on PC from 2-3 years ago (can't remember the name of it, but it was Space Hulk in everything but name) was a lot of fun.
This though . . . if they follow through on all of the promised game modes, this sounds like a boatload of pure awesome.
AYE LUV SPAYCE MUHREEENS
I never managed to get the old one working as a kid.
Love can bloom.
And I expect a lot of people here will actually get that reference.
fuck I think I just got a boner thinking about necromunda the videogame.
Color me excited. Extra points if they reuse the awkwardly disjointed dialogue system.
Oh sure, but what little I've seen of those comics seems to suggest that the creators are willing to admit they're creating something completely camp and over the top.
Games Workshop presents it's universe with such sincerity it's kind of endearing. Like that day dreamer in class who would tell you of his crazy worlds.
me and my friend used to play so much space hulk on his 3do
Most adorable child ever with scariest parents and scary sort-of uncles ever.

The fact it's really Grin Dark is 40K's biggest secret, it's a bit like Muse or Queen in that regard.
Have to see if I can get some pictures of my brother's room, we did it up like a Spacehulk when he was away on a school choir trip - came back to find the walls painted black and gunmetal, air vents made from slatted cupboard doors and completed with the built in wardrobe and door panelled up with card and foam to be airlock doors and bulkheads.
Secretly disappointed it's not a FPS though, never got to play the older versions but they sounded pretty great. Plus I've got the actual game and no iPad
The first one was good, very difficult and had a ton of character. I thought the sequel was pretty bad, although the animation of fighting a Genestealer in hand-to-hand was pretty sweet.
Yeah, just like the board game.

There's certainly a good deal of romance between Mekboyz and whatever impossible contraption they most recently threw together
Yeah, it's based off the amazing boardgame. Trust me, I shelled out $100 for this boardgame and am very happy with it, that tells you how good it is. I am very excited for a digital version. The ability to make custom maps is awesome.
I wonder if you will be able to toggle on old edition rules or old variant or extra rules. That would be amazing. With that the ability for people to create custom campaigns for people to play through would be amazing. I bet some real creative folk out there could make some awesome branching campaigns for people to play through.
That's Space Crusade.
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.

I am reading the CCC books, and they are lots of fun. The first book is him against genestealers (or rather, him against the Imperial Guard brass, who are sending him against genestealers, instead of letting him hang around HQ drinking tea and banging the local maidens).
Anyway, I played a little of the original Space Hulk, and it was ridicu-hard. The remake for the PS2 was not as good.
I desperately want to see a Necromunda game where you actually maintain a whole squad of scavengers, upgrading their skills and gear over the course of a campaign of missions. If you wanted, you could take your team against other players. It would need to hit the sweet spot somewhere between Icewind Dale and Fallout.
