Game News Owlcat's next game is a turn-based Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader RPG

[Zeriel]

This shit looks so awful, I'm shocked to see so many people here liking it. I suppose if you throw the WH40K logo on any piece of pozzed trash people will love it?

Sunri seems to REALLY like the dancing donut.

Not to be confused with this other donut.

 

[Gargaune]

Cool, I'm interested. Would be my first WH40K game anything. Though not in a hurry, haven't played Wrath yet.

Comming to PC and consoles. Full artwork:

Lol, it looks like cover art for some pathinder pazio module

Yeah, it does look a lot like a reskin of the PF covers. I get that you'd keep roughly the same composition from Kingmaker to Wrath, but something new would've been a good idea here.

Ill take Owlcat over nu Bioware every day, would have been interesting to see Obsidians take on this, but maybe its for the best we did not. Currently, no expectations, hope for the best and expect the worst.

With Warhammer we're now going to see how woke Owlcat truly is.

Pathfinder was a decent excuse. Warhammer is not.

Anyone else hoping that the answer is "over 9000"?

What is this faggotry? This is no Rogue Trader!

This is Rogue Trader

Man the aesthetic of old school Warhammer stuff is always so cool. I like the new stuff too, generally speaking, but there’s a distinctive charm to 80s era Warhammer (40k and WHFB) that I really dig. It would be cool to see a video game made in this sketch-book black and white style.

It is not just composition, it is the same colour palette, the same style (lacking details and focusing most on character in the middle), characters looks...similar to those two pathfinder games.
Official Wh 40k art looks a bit like a b-class military oil paintings, which is great. This looks like forgettable mobile game art you can buy for 200 euro.
But I can handle that if the gameplay is good. BTW in game graphics looks worse than this art but is is early alpha demo, I suppose.

When Owlcats were first moving from Kingmaker to Wrath, the Wrath in game graphics were identical to Kingmaker. By the time they were finished, Wrath's in game graphics were significantly improved from Kingmaker, the Kingmaker stuff were placeholders to get everything up and running more quickly. It looks like they've done a similar thing now with Wrath's graphics for Rogue Trader.

Music sounds similar to the Mechanicus game, same composer(s)?

 

[Jasede]

Can't wait for TrannyTrader filled with nonbinary NPCs and interspecies romance.

 

[HeatEXTEND]

I want to believe

 

[Urthor]

I respect the sheer "we'll make whatever the fuck we want and somehow convince some fellas to sign us over their IP" attitude behind this.

 

[Gromlintroid]

Looks wank

So after the Kingdom stuff in Kingmaker and the Crusade stuff in WotR, what is Rogue Trader going to have as time-wasting side content?

I'd come up with a funny example myself, but it's rather late and I'm out of ideas. Sorry.

 

[Fenix]

Boring.

Ship management I'd wager

 

[Junmarko]

except for... whole cosmos, spaceships, lazers and insignia thing?

None of the visuals or artwork even barely resemble 40k here.

It looks like one of those cheap knockoff games that get developed for mobile, only thing missing is the title "Battleaxe 300".

Trade. I mean it has to be trade, right? It's in the name. Resource trading economy mini-game.

Is this Owlcat's take on Dragon Age Inquisition?

No, it's a photoshop of this:

Encased didn't get much codex love (and rightfully so) so I added the 40K logo for people to instantly love it.

The cutscenes and combat look like taken from 2 completely different games

The cartoon was made just for the trailer since it was cheaper to make than a 3D one.
