Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Roguey]

P.S. Roguey don't overinterpret job ads.

Ah, I see Owlcat uses the same definition of "action rpg" as VD. Defeated again by ESLs.

Its looks like its still on unity engine

Owlcat still has the same artists. A game of theirs is going to look like a game of theirs regardless of engine.

40K is a mixed bag of a setting, but it’s better than Pathfinder and I enjoyed both of those.

Nice surprise that it’s not the First-person perspective we all expected, although a move from Unity to Unreal would have been welcome.

 

[Inhabitants of Khorinis]

never got into warhammer. Always thought 40k is Dune for edgelords and warhammer fantasy LotR for edgelords.

The job listing said "third-person" not first. I guess pseudo-isometric is technically third-person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

step 1: pay 100,000 Codex Dollars to insert obnoxious turn based only sci fi dungeon into fantasy crusade game
step 2: wait

 

[kepler]

This might be my first 40k game. Setting is ok, but games never managed to catch my attention. I'm waiting.

[Sacibengala]

This cartoony aesthetics, though...not impressed.

 

[FreeKaner]

Looking forward to this.

To be fair, that's exactly what it is. You're still retarded.

This isn't even irony IMHO

Which brings us to the real point: can't wait for the final chapter to reveal that the space mommy is actually lilura

 

[lycanwarrior]

Just watched the trailer, looks great.

 

[The_Mask]

Is Warhammer like WarCraft? Asking for a friend.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Sucks to be you.

 

[kepler]

Spoiler

Well, this is how you end wars.

 

[jackofshadows]

Sucks to be you.

How're your gas prices, bro?

 

[Yoomazir]

Is it me or are they reusing their Pathfinder character models?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I blame Hóngwèibīng

[CodexTotalWar]

Is it me or are they reusing their Pathfinder character models?

Yeah, that jumped out to me too. There's a certain "Pathfinder" feel to the overall look in the current gameplay footage.

Still, I'm reasonably hyped.

 

[Mauman]

Huh....and here we thought that their next game was going to be Starfinder (or whatever the sci-fi pathfinder is called).

 

[Harthwain]

Nice surprise that it’s not the First-person perspective we all expected, although a move from Unity to Unreal would have been welcome.

I was thinking about how to make a video game about exploring a Space Hulk and the first-person exploration mode came to mind naturally. You can always make combat use a different perspective (if you want turn-based tactical one with multiple combatants), so perspective as such is not much of a limit, depending on how you approach it. What I would like to see is lethal combat with extremely heavy emphasis on being tactical, but I doubt it will go much beyond the usual "XCOM-like" formula.

 

[Jaedar]

Koronus expanse is interesting, that's the sector of space FFG got to create for their TT rogue trader adaptation(which has rules for personal combat and ship combat, as well as some basic systems for managing your trader economy). I wonder if this means this is a stealth adaptation of FFG's sourcebooks and systems? I would have assumed not since I think the rights for the FFG books are in a bit of a limbo, but it's weird to set it in the koronus expanse otherwise.

 

[NJClaw]

I blame Hóngwèibīng

Their entire market survey probably consisted in "a guy in the WOTR thread on the Codex likes Warhammer, let's fucking do this".

Is it me or are they reusing their Pathfinder character models?

Character models? They're definitely reusing their entire engine and everything else.

 

[Mauman]

I can't wait to see LGTBI+/feminism issues in my Warhammer 40k universe.

Going to wishlist it right now.

Bets on female Ultra marines in 5....4.....
