BloodBowl Dev considering other GW adaptations

[SilentScreams]

From Joystiq. (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/30/blood-bowl-dev-wants-to-work-on-games-workshops-forgotten-ips/)

I'll be honest. When I read the title my first thought was "Necromunda!? Oh God please Necromunda!" but Inquisitor could also be very cool.

[ShivaX]

I'm personally in favor of Space Hulk or Space Crusade myself.

I never played Inquisition or Mighty Empires. Though I'd probably check em out if they made em.

[Narradisall]

I loved the old space hulk games.

"Uriel! GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

Necromunda would be cool too though. Id be happy with another Warhammer game ala Shadow of the Horned Rat.

[SilentScreams]

I just have this awesome idea of how a Necromunda game would play out.
Create your own gang, then you can have your own Hive, much like you have your own leagues on BloodBowl and you populate it with all your friends and their gangs.
Then it becomes a matter of blowing the crap out of each other for territorial advantages.
Maybe throw in some diplomatic options and some underhanded tricks for good measure.

...I'll be in my bunk.

Wishlist:

Inquisitor
Battlefleet Gothic
Space Hulk
Mordheim

Never played any of them but I love the concepts and settings.

Oh man, if they make Necromunda I'm fairly certain I won't have to buy any more games after that. The "private hive" idea would work great. Especially if there was a meta game built in over territory control. It would also be great if all the random events were in place as well: hazardous terrain, Arbiter Patrol Teams, zombies, etc. I get giddy just thinking about it. :D

[SilentScreams]

I've never played Inquisitor, but after reading the Eisenhorn and Ravenor books I'd love to play a game in that kind of setting.

Hah, I like how Joystiq makes sure to mention several times that if you're excited for this you're probably quite old. I'm not that old! :p

I'm 21 man, they don't know what they're talking about. :D

[Panthera]

But... Inquisitor isn't old! Wait, it's over eight years old now? Fuck.

[SilentScreams]

It doesn't seem like long ago when I first picked up the BloodBowl board game...but it was a present from my Grandad for my 12th birthday, which makes it 11 years ago.

Damn you, Time! You scheming son of a bitch!

[Libuke]

I'd love a Mordheim game, it has not been played around these parts for years. The customizablity was one of the best parts which is not always easy to do on a PC game though.

[Narradisall]

I'd love a warhammer game ALS total war series.

Obviously racial animosity etc would stop certain alliances and there would be a good and evil split, could be fun though

[Hotcod]

It would be really cool if these guys went around tying up all the old GW stuff the boardgames and other bits that haven't really been supported for a while. They've done a damn good job with blood bowl from what i've seen with the beta. There's stuff they need to improve on but getting the games rules in to a 3d game world isn't one of them.

What happened to the Talisman adaptation that was being worked on for a while? I thought it had been abandoned, so if the IP is free, I'd certainly be happy if these guys took it up.

Its dead as far as I know, which is odd since its a pretty insanely simple game, especially without expansions.

Inquisitor
Battlefleet Gothic
Space Hulk
Mordheim

Never played any of them but I love the concepts and settings.

I would buy a computer adaptation of Battlefleet Gothic instantly.

Some people on the Sins of a Solar Empire boards are working on a mod:

It's still in the early stages however, but it's something. They have an open beta test going on.

[KamaItachi]

Dark Future, please.

I'd also like to see Necromunda, but with the added ability of actually making your base with a fairly rudimentary level creator kit.

That way you can always play home advantage when defending against a raid.

[Karak]

Space Hulk
BETHOR!
I can't wait...well if they did it.

Interesting. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Space Hulk in computerized format: http://www.teardown.se/

Now before you crucify me about the downloads being removed on their site, let me tell you that there are still certain places you can go to get a copy...

And they're working with THQ to cover the legal stuff so official downloads of the latest version should be back at some point.

An Inquisitor game would be so hard to do...especially when my chosen method of Inquisition is prosthetic surgery and approaching the issue as a long-missing or deceased relative of someone related to it.

[rifter]

I think GorkaMorka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorkamorka) would be cool. I remember seeing a beta of the old DC game, and it looked like hella fun. :-) I would love to see Man o War, as well. MoW has always been one of my favorites. Of course Battlefleet Gotic and Necromunda would rock, too.

Also, we HAD a Space Hulk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Hulk_(computer_game)) video game... do we need another one?

Actually, it would be cool, too. :-)

Well we had a Blood Bowl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Bowl_(1995_video_game)) already too and we definately needed another one.
