40K only got big after it got grimmdark
GW, being liberal filth, have always hated that the fanbase reacted more positively to the grimdark 40k than their shit attempts at humor, and they have been repeatedly forced by the fanbase to get back to the grimdark, often kicking, screaming, crying and having the dilator fall out of the "vagina" in the process.

For the past decade now they've been shitting up 40k with ever-increasing amounts of pozz and actively sabotaging any fan that actually tried to make anything good out of the IP.

Sodaz got fucked over by them, and the Astartes guy has been MIA ever since signing a contract with GW, and we never even got the remake of Helsreach. I suspect GW got into contact with these people with the express purpose of sabotaging their projects.

I think it's Unity engine after all.

As far as I understand, this guy is an executive producer working on Rogue Trader, and he tweeted a few days ago that 'his project' is on Unity.
Huh, looking back I made the assumption that both new projects were on Unreal (since I took them at face value when they called this an action rpg :P) but apparently that's just the next Pathfinder.

I hope the completely ditch any kind of management aspect, apart from the shitty performance, constant loading screens, the fucking management layer is the single worst design decision they keep making in their games.

I agree, however they are not going to do this and we all need to just temper our expectations now.

:what:

By the golden throne...



:yeah:
:hype:

And it's Rogue Trader too, the most underused part of the setting. Travel the galaxy, conquer planets in the name of profits the Emprah, trade in dangerous archeotech with xenos, answer to no one but the Inquisition :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

Is early Warhammer just Warcraft for people who like painting models and hanging out in the back rooms of game stores?
early warhammer is 3 history nerds, who decided why not make some wargame shit but some fantasy, so let's shove holy roman empire into tolkien + michael moorcock chaos see what happens

"In fact, Warhammer Fantasy Battle, a goblins-and-gnomes war game, and Warhammer 40k are ridiculous, over-the-top pastiches, created by people who were bored and angry under Margaret Thatcher, and channelled that rage into worlds where everyone is the villain, and hope has been extinguished for millennia."

It's astonishing that we have have so many idiots thinking that everything in 40K setting has to be brown, gray or black. Rogue Trader in particular, LOL!
This will be probably shitty anyway, but definitely for other reasons that colour palette not being grimdark enough.

The aesthetics can be whatever. Cartoony doesn't really fit the setting but that's far from the main issue with the game.
The writing is.

Of course it is a strong wombyn giving the announcement trailer, Owltrannies can't help themselves. Let's see expect gay marine sodomy from red bearded marine, the andogenous character standing next to the lady looks like someone who used a laspistol on his genitals. I expect there will be aliens who will lecture how they do not use gender pronouns, probably the eldar.

Anyway, who cares, the entire setting is shit anyway. This is your reminder that according to lore the Emperor was a Turkroach. Is it any wonder then why his roach brood chimped out as they did?

These retards seem to think colorful palette = cartoony. Which is exactly what you are getting when you make a carbon-copy artstyle out of the previous games. Soft, round and excessive shapes to make sure every soyboy feels welcomed.

To be honest, this is something i would expect from Eldar.
