Space Hulk Is Drifting Towards Consoles In 2015
- Thread starter Shard
- Start date
this game has improved a good bit since launch. its a good game. it feels like Space Hulk, and Space Hulk is awesome.
will almost definitely double dip if it comes to xbone.
i wonder if it will have async play on consoles? that would be badass.
this game got a real bad rap. Full Control did a fine job with the license.

Space Hulk is so boring though... Only fighting Genestealers gets old, real fast. Also why can't we have a 40k game about something other than fucking Space Marines.
The last one was what? Fire Warrior?
In the Dawn of War games you can play as many of the races, but yeah, more variety would be nice. Space Marines are the most iconic but in my opinion also the most boring of the factions, Imperial Guard is where true humanity is at.
Armageddon came out last month and lets you play as the Imperial Guard... err I mean Astra Militarum.
Hopefully it is the current PC version since the game has improved hugely since launch.

Exactly, what about an RPG Rogue trader game set in the 40k Universe? Or a game (Horror maybe?) About being an imperial Guardsman on one of the countless worlds being swallowed by the Tyranid, or simply being in an Imperial Guard first response squad. I don't know the world is pretty large, and there's plenty of factions to explore.
I want an Inquisitor RPG.
Doesn't even have to be super high budget - could just be something akin to the new Shadowrun RPGs.

I wouldn't mind an inquisitor RPG either, would be a good way to get people more acquainted with some basic lore of the 40k universe. At least the Imperium.

Really digging Ascension. I think it'll be a fine hit on consoles. Will need a shot in the arm, sure, but a good interpretation of the original concept.
Next, Necromunda, please. Or yes, an Inquisitor game.
Ultimately, I just need my BFG game.

I'll get it, although I'd prefer to play a remake or a sequel to Incubation.
I mean in general there really bad at managing their ips. That weird ass plants versus zombies clone thing? The general mediocrity of their games... Is depressing.

Not familiar with the franchise but I do remember the name because when I owned a 3DO I always thought this game's graphics looked amazing in the magazine.

Why the older version not the 'video gamey' version of Space Hulk they're currently making IIRC.
Oh GW and their copyright shenanigans... smh.
They'd better ditch Space Marines (tm) then go calling them properly as "Adeptus Astartes" in full (which does sound better actually).

Loved the board game and the Amiga version in my youth.
I'm a fan of turn based games like these and Blood Bowl, I just wish they were exectued better.
Cautiously optomistic.

The Space Hulk video game is pretty much identical to the board game. So if you find that "fun" you're good to go.

There's an FPS coming out from the guys who made EYE Divine Cybermancy.
What positive changes have been made for the game post release?

Well nice, I liked it on PC.
But this game has me in greater anticipation as I hope it will be successor to Space Hulk 2:

I really Enjoyed Divine Cybermancy for what it was, I forgot about that, they are definitely the team to make a proper 40k game.

Damn right. Best faction in that game.
I really feel like we should be getting more games out of this franchise, period.
Definitely looking forward to this one, I have complete faith in Streumon.
yeah...

Necromunda would instantly be my most wanted game of all time. Seems crazy that Mordheim got picked up before Necromunda did (and the Mordheim game is up on Early Access and looks somewhat decent).
The universe has so much potential in media in general let alone in games. Each of the races have a pretty interesting lore and they all have a number of major campaigns yet it's always the space marines that are pushed. WH40k was great fun but I struggle to see why they just didn't apply that base template to more games, not necessarily sequels and such.
Then you have everything in fantasy too. It's just crazy how the franchise is underutilised.

I look forward to feeding this to my Wii U. Would really love for it to be physical, but I'm not holding my breath.
I may be the only one, but I'd love to play a Gotrek & Felix action RPG (heavy focus on action). The entirety of the Warhammer/40K universe is a god damned bottomless well of awesome concepts, perfect for myriad game types.

Wii U gamepad integration I think will be a fun way to play against others
