[Rumor] Bioware to get Warhammer 40k licence

[Hobo Elf]

I want to be a Space Marine?

 

[Shadenuat]

maybe we'll be able to be, ride and or romance those

I want to be a helldrake!

 

[LESS T_T]

I thought Sega owned both W40K and Warhammer Fantasy now

No more exclusivity, they say.

A Games Workshop representative contacted GamesIndustry International to provide a comment on the company's new less exclusive approach to licensing.

"The days of monolithic Warhammer or Warhammer 40,000 licenses on all platforms are behind us," the representative said. "In the future, games based on our properties will be platform and subject specic, which is great news as it means there are far more opportunities than before."

 

[Gozma]

I really don't understand why people care about Warhammer.

Toy fascism

which does kinda clash with Kotaku social justice camouflage hiding gory capitalism, a theme of Bioware's.

But hey Games Workshop charges like 10000x the price of the plastic in their minis that grown men develop shocking skill painting so they can play mediocre board games with them. Irony was always a subtext of Warhammer




buff nids

 

[Andyman Messiah]

Sounds like a match made in heaven to me.

 

[DraQ]

Actually...

That may end up being the lulziest thing ever.

 

[evdk]

Why is there a Decline tag? This sounds like fun - W40k fluff has been steadily shit lately (with some exceptions merely being bearable filler) and a partnership with Bioware is the logical next step after Necrons and Blood Angels bonding over slain enemies and Wolf of the Wolf Wolf. It'll be glorious.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEX UP A SISTER OF BATTLE AS AN IMPERIAL. OH FUCK YEAH BIOWARE. AND MY OTHER GROPUMATE WILL BE THE SILENT HUEG ARCHETYPE SPACE MARINE. CAN SEX TOO?

 

[Zewp]

I wonder what SoB sweat tastes like?

 

[~RAGING BONER~]

wait, what is warhammer 40k? I always thought it was an RTS genre...

 

[Lord Andre]

Of all the type of games that could be made with the warhammer license, an action shooter is chosen. Main character - space marine. Generic shit is generic. Heaven forbid they actually try and implement the real fucking game.

 

[Mangoose]

Space Marine, advertised as an anti-cover shooter, built by cover shooter designers.

Just failed my morale check.

 

[circ]

I can see the plot already.

Hey everyman wake the fuck up! We're being attacked by CHAOS! PEW PEW PEW!

CHAOS is up to something. You have been chosen to become one of the chosen few - a SPACE MARINE. Here is your power armor and bolter.

To a Space Marine the Boltgun is far more than a weapon,
it is an instrument of Mankind's divinity, the bringer of
death to his foes, whose howling blasts is a prayer to the gods of battle.

 

[Irenaeus]

Well, that already sounds better than the usual Call of Duty.

 

[evdk]

howling blasts is a prayer to the gods of battle.

That's heresy, son.

 

[Irenaeus]

That's heresy, son.

The story is about corruption to chaos.

The story is about corruption to chaos.

Chaos as written by Bioware should be entertaining.
"KHORNE DEMANDS SACRIFICE OF SKULLS! Then I will save your daughter."

 

[Lagole Gon]

I can already imagine the red & blue morality bar.
I'm going to max out chaos for bonus damage!

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

You know, I think they finally found a license even Bioware couldn't make more retarded.

 

[evdk]

I propose a honorable compromise. GW licences Ward to BioWare to work on DA3. Everybody wins.

Huh,i would have expected them to pull a dragon age again.We were promised different stories for every race but what did they only managed give different starting stories where you all became grey warden in the end.
We should have been able to start as an eldar,orc,tyranid(!?) and became space marine after an hour or so.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Space Marine: Space Marines, we must defeat the heretics! Remember, only in death our duty ends. Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life!
Posible answers:
1. [Romance] For the Emperor!
2. For the Emperor!
3. [Lie] For the Emperor!

Dat's alright, the game will be awsum, haterz gonna hate, luv it already.
If it's true, Jaesun and JarlFrank are the best designers for this game.
