Races at launch include, Space Marine, Chaos, Ork, Eldar.

I sincerely hope that this lives up to the hype: http://www.eternalcrusade.com/#

OH look, another attempt at a Wh40k MMO. At least they aren't being as ambitious this time.

From what I can gather they are using the same over the shoulder type of gameplay from Space Marine, which sounds promising.

I just want a damn RPG. I started reading it and it said action, and I felt sad again.

I'm hopeful but I'm not holding my breath.

An RPG would be sweet. One on the scale of Skyrim or Mass Effect. Oh what I wouldn't give.

Been fooled too much. More hopeful about Space Hulk.

I wish they would just convert the tabletop game into a digital version, rules and everything. I don't have the time for all the modelling, painting, and hours of continuous play with groups of friends like I used to.

I'd even be happy if they went the Magic: Online route in order to prevent the digital game from destroying the physical. Either charge full price for digital models, which can be traded in later for a physical ones, or include a code with physical boxes that allow you to redeem digital copies.

Anyone remember the game Star Wars Rebellion? They could make a game exactly like that on the cheap. The guys that made the Total War franchise (Creative Assembly) have the Warhammer fantasy license now. Maybe we will get a badass Strategy game out of them. Hopefully they can get a 40k license later, because they would have the ability to make such a badass game with it. Space battles and epic battles with thousands of troops on both sides.

Yeah I've been following this for a while (wasn't there another thread?) but the model they're using for f2p seems like a bad idea to me.

just a FYI.

One of the level designers for Eternal Crusade ran a Dark heresy game. You can see it on youtube:

At least we can see one of the talents working on this.

Just read the wiki article on this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000:_Eternal_Crusade, and the company developing it has only ever made like... Kids games and crap for portables. I'm a little worried. It is still on schedule for 2015 though.

My main fear is their lack of MMO experience. If they had developed some successful multiplayer kid thing I'd be less worried.

I'm curious who their publisher will be. Please don't be Sega or EA.

They just announced that they've switched to using the Unreal 4 engine :)

Cringy voice acting aside.. this game looks terrible.

By voice acting you mean the actual voice acting or the guys pretending to have spontaneous dialogue?

The faux dialogue. Shit is just straight up cringy.

The faux dialogue. Shit is just straight up cringy.

Well the main issue with this game is that they had to change the scope. Before they were talking about having it be an MMO, where you explore do quests....etc.

They realized they couldnt do that, and said....its going to be more of a planetside 2 type of game with some RPG elements.

Now they realized they cant do that, and its going to be an arena based game. So think 16 x 16, call of duty, only the gameplay doesnt look like its there.

I had such hopes.

Doesn't help the design team itself has gone through a massive overhaul. Many of the lead developers have left the project.

I wonder how many assets they're using from Space Marine?

0. It's by a different company.

Dunno about that. The grenade indicators, shooting, sprinting and general play mechanics look at the very least heavily 'inspired' by Space Marine.

Inspired sure but it isn't like Relic would give them assets from Space Marine.
