[Space Hulk Deathwing] They are space termites and you've made a terrible mistake.

It's kind of funny that their trailer narrator guy has a better Spess Mehreen voice than the actual Spess Mehreens in-game.
I've changed the title to reflect the new game footage that's been given. if coop is good, hopefully it can be turned around.
and yea, they really really need to work on their voice overs... they don't feel like space marines to me, and they repeat the same line over and over and over. that shit will be annoying.

I'll wait and see on this one. The quality of Warhammer games these days is so wildly up and down since they've started handing out the license to anyone with a few thousand bucks and a development company

I'll have to wait and see obvs I've been burned before
Now THAT is how storm bolters and an assault cannon should sound like. Storm bolters should sound like you're firing miniature cannonballs and assault cannons like an A-10 Warhog minigun throwing out an impossible amount of shredding rounds.

Would have suited the game a bit better.
Not feeling the hud and such not sure why.
How so?
All the other space hulk realtime games have been 1st person. Part of the theme is blasting away at genestealers as they advance towards your face.
I'm assuming the stuff we're seeing now has been in development for a bunch of years. We'll see how GW goes ahead with their new CEO. They already yanked the boardgame license back from Fantasy Flight.
Which is a shame, because FFG did really great games... but they also make miniature games now (including X-Wing) so they're probably seen as actual competition now.
Never player the originals so I can't comment but it just seems lIke it would have been better that way.
But I haven't played it so I guess I'll wait and see
You can pretty easily find footage of it on the youtubes being as how Russians tend to treat things like NDAs and copyright as more of a suggestion, but as to how much of what's in the video will be live I couldn't remotely guess until we see the preorder beta come online. That solo gameplay video looks pretty par though.
I will say that you'll love how the apothecary heals teammates, provided they polish it up a bit more.

Magic syringes? Rainbow Six and Bloodborne did it first!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So far cautiously optimistic that I won't regret the pre-order.

I mean that's a solid 3 of 4 critical aspects for making this game successful

A man after my own primary and secondary heart
Also GW is making their own boardgames again, so yeah, nakes sense they parted ways.
ding ding ding get this man a prize.
though if they were that scared they shoulda been more scared of my friends and i playing kill teams with bottle caps and pogs.
Eh. I don't think they're making the kind of branding effort you'd expect if they were refocusing their business away from miniatures, although I tend to think they ought to. The only big licensing job they've pulled is with Creative Assembly for the Total War game (which doesn't even tie into what's going on in their tabletop game), and I guess Dawn of War 3 although that's really continuing an existing series. Aside from that they got somewhat lucky with Vermintide and maybe did okay with the Battlefleet Gothic game. Deathwing is coming from the guys who made EYE Divine Cybermancy, not really a household name, and everything else seems to be mostly under the radar. I don't really know that their videogame strategy isn't still "license IPs to anyone who asks and see what sticks."
I'm kind of surprised they haven't made some kind of free-to-play mobile game to squeeze money out of whales. They're constantly releasing new models, rulebooks and fiction, so there's already a steady content stream for them to work off of.
As a result, they've gained (I'm a assuming a considerable number of) fans like myself, who enjoy the universe and lore/fluff, but don't have the time, interest, or (most likely) money required to get into tabletop miniatures. I've given them money going as far back as Vengeance of the Blood Angels, money they wouldn't have gotten from me if they hadn't branched out.
There will come a time when a lot of people will be looking at deciding between spending $50 on a pack of five minis or spending a couple bucks on raw materials to print a set themselves. Right now low cost 3D printers don't have the resolution required for decent repros at that size, but within a few years I'll bet they will. If you're a hardcore fan a $100-$200 printer would pay for itself before too long, especially if you went in on it with a few friends.
Where is my Necromunda GAME!!!!
one a dem platonic ideal fings
(lest we also not mention the mess that Mordheim turned out to be, or how Bloodbowl is always a struggle between a great game and the sloppy execution of Cyanide Studios)
I've never really gotten the feeling that these games are the results of GW's efforts. It's always seemed more like the developers or publishers are the ones approaching them to make a MOBA, a twin-stick shooter, a chess game, etc. If a game is lucky it might have a teaser from GW and that's the extent of the marketing push; I don't think any effort is made to tie anything into current releases. I feel like if this was an actual strategy from them they'd advertise these games more on their website, and there'd be in-house commitment to some titles that can support a broad, long term content stream -- a cashgrab mobile game, a MOBA, an electronic card game, things like that. I know someone made a MOBA for them, but without a spigot of GW material it doesn't really have much going for it. Their 40K MMORPG isn't doing well, right?
The first Space Hulk computer game was how I got into 40K (actually Space Hulk and then 40K). It is a field with a ton of growth potential, they just seem astonishingly lackadaisical about it.
GWs minis are pretty insane these days in terms of quality and detail.
I think it might take a bit before affordable 3D printers are making stuff like this:
but for the run of the mill troops that you need three 35$ packs to make a 12 man squad?
ill sit here with my printer.
