Space Hulk: Deathwing - may the Emperor's legs be OK

[Awor Szurkrarz]

How did I never hear of this amiga space hulk? Cute graphics.

It's Space Crusade, not Space Hulk.

 

[Destroid]

Same damn thing.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

No.

 

[Menckenstein]

Gonna be a mouthful of shit.

That's not Pierrick, it's Christophe. :D

Spehs 'Ulk.

2015 is a long time away, means there's actually a chance they'll have time to make it a decent game.

As long as it stays away from consoles. But there is always a journalist asking if he'll be able to play it on his dumb platform. Like in the video above.

Hybrids! Hell yeah! Do I dare hope that means GW will revive the Cult on the tabletop?

That aside... I'm not terribly excited about this. To me, playing a termie should be like piloting some sort of vaguely humanoid monster tank with tech-enhanced senses of all kinds, cogitator-assisted everything, and the firepower to level a city. Basically: completely unlike a FPS, whether we're talking extinct PC shooter or controller-crippled current day crap. Though if those are the choices, I'll take a termie moving at 60Mph & dodging bullets over the console shit.

EDIT: And I'd love if they had a player damage model akin to rally games. Like, damage doesn't eat some abstract health bar, but instead wrecks various player tools, like movement, targeting, visuals, etc.

Locational damage? FUCK YES

Edit: Thanks for posting OP, sounds like this game will be a lot of fun - a testosterone-filled version of L4D.

Locational damage? FUCK YES

Damage is locational, and damage to the head or having both of your legs destroyed will make you restart the mission. There should be medikits, even if the health system isn't very clear yet.

Interest increased by 500%

EDIT: Though healthkits? Even power armour has that shit integrated. I wouldn't object to damaged bits slowly fixing themselves up to a point, but healthkits is just silly. I mean, how is a termie even supposed to use the things? It's not like they can just pop out of the armour real quick & put on a band aid lol

 

[Jaedar]

Maybe the medkits will be black blood infusions, ie nanobots.

 

[Darth Roxor]

BRUVA APOTHECARY

 

[Misconnected]

Heh, imagine if apothecaries worked in the game the way they do on the tabletop - the last thing you see as he comes to carve out your brains when you're too damaged to fight on.

Tech marines, or better still, semi-functional repair stations in hulky-hulk armouries could work for health kits. Especially if repairs take a while and leave you vulnerable while they happen. Termies are self-repairing up to a point, but it's not like a suit can magically regrow torn off ceramite plating and weapons. And while they're equipped to heal their pilots, the the whole point of the armour is that if the actual pilot's getting hurt then it's much, much too late.

First screenshot. We can't see shit but anyway :

 

[Jaedar]

Rather weird ornament in the back, robed figure killing a serpent, no idea wot it could be. Nid models look alright I guess.

I really do want this to be good.

Obviously Alpha Legion

They look extremely similar.

 

[Jaedar]

*vidyas*
They look extremely similar.

Would not be surprised to learn both were made by Plastic Wax, who also made the cinematics for DoW2.

 

[Siel]

Yeah. It almost feels like it takes place in the same universe, right?

 

[Cazzeris]

Just look at those robots with guns which looks like toys.

The teasers are too similar. I mean, they are different games, right?

As Jaedar said, it might be because GW makes teasers with their own favorite studios.

It's really nice to see the EYE dudes get their hands on a sort of big IP and work with a sort of big publisher. They've proved themselves to be really talented, and with more guidance and financial support could deliver something really nice

Don't give a fuck about GW tho. Alien Assault, that Space Hulk rip-off, was p. cool, I guess.
