Instead of having rats in just the starting dungeon, they're having rats everywhere BUT in the starting dungeon.

Chitter-chitter squeak this! *grabs tail*

(Those glowing red eyes are ugly, BTW.)

...

Can't GW finally go under so that the license would go to somebody willing to whore out the actual ruleset?

 

[vonAchdorf]

Did someone open the Warhammer floodgates? Are these the Mordheim assets?

Probably not though, since it's these guys who make it: http://www.fatsharkgames.com and the Mordheim guys are called Rogue Factor.

Why can't they make a fucking rpg in that way?

Ever since we came here all I hear is "Skavens this, Skavens that". You'd think that there are Skavens waiting in every bush, but that's complete nonsense. Look, I'm walking into these bushes completely unarmed and I'm perfectly safe...

Well, this is unexpected. It's part of the big WFB shakeup covered in mah thread here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...warhammer-fantasy-battle-lore-overhaul.93951/

I predict it'll be a broken disaster, but could be fun bundle fodder.

Why do the Skaven sound like the Predator?

I see no interest in playing a setting where GW pretty much killed everyone. Humans and others got extinct, two thirds of the armies scrapped. It's like playing Mass Effect 1 knowing what will happen in ME3

Warhammer: End Times Vermintide is a co-op first-person shooter and melee combat game due out for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at some point during the second half of 2015. It's made by Fatshark, the Swedish studio behind War of the Roses, Lead and Gold, and Krater.

Gameplay wise, five players get together to kill hordes of Skaven, Warhammer's rat-men, in the city of Ubersreik.

"Working together cooperatively, players must use their individual attributes to survive an apocalyptic invasion from hordes of relentless, power hungry Skaven, across a range of environments stretching from the top of the Magnus Tower to the bowels of the Under Empire," reads the official blurb.

In a post on the PlayStation blog, executive producer Martin Wahlund said the team had been developing Vermintide for the past two years.

"Having built titles like War of the Roses in the past has taught us a great deal about working with melee combat, and we are building Vermintide to be a first-person game that handles both ranged and melee combat in a viscerally impressive manner," he said.
"We always knew we wanted Vermintide to be a cooperative experience and have designed every aspect of the game to coincide with this vision. Everything from the loot system to the narrative is built to enhance the co-op. It's a game about surviving to the end with your friends."

Online only forced multiplayer? No thank you. I'm too old to compete with 13yo Spehss Marine collectors.

Sounds like they wanted to make a coop zombieshit game, but were afraid they'd get called out for being unoriginal and just swapped the zombies for skaven instead. Also, everyone who uses the word "visceral" or its variations to describe their game is probably a hack.

So, is it going to be a co-op game similar to borderlands or left 4 dead? The loot statement makes me wonder. Hopefully it is the former.

What the fuck is wrong with Games Workshop?

So it's yet another zombie action game.
