Game itself looks fun, but the visuals are really boring. It's so empty and gray or brown.

[QUOTE=Simplemac3;48752090]Considering it takes place during the [sp]apocalypse which chaos canonically eventually wins,[/sp] I think it makes sense for things to look a little hopeless.[/QUOTE] It just looks empty. You can do hopeless interesting. This is hopeless boring. I hope it will change as game goes further in development but right now the environments are very lacking. I don't think apocalypse turns everything monotone colored and boring. What I mean is, the environments have no soul. Nothing sets the atmosphere, it just kinda exists as poor backdrop.
Oh god, imagine an FPS game where instead of all that, you are stuck in a heavy space marine suit, shooting your bolter at an oncoming wave of Tyranids.

Reskinned Left 4 Dead 2
It looks incredibly forgettable.
[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;48753626]Reskinned Left 4 Dead 2[/QUOTE] There is already a shit ton of differences between this and Left 4 dead, even though they are based on the same concept of Horde based co-op.
[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;48753626]Reskinned Left 4 Dead 2[/QUOTE] I don't see why every game needs to be completely unique. L4D2 had some interesting and cool game mechanics and other developers who want to make a game a bit similar to L4D2 will use it as well because why improve on (perhaps not entirely) perfection?
Looks like fun to me, I had never heard of this so I'll be sure to pick it up to play with friends.
[QUOTE=kiloy;48753579]There already is a game coming out like that, it's Space Hulk: Deathwing[/QUOTE] Yeah quite a few Warhammer games coming out in near future. Also while your mentioned game looks like it's gonna be fun and good, it's only 4-5 of you in a small squad, and not in the middle of a bigger battalion.
It seems like Warhammer Fantasy is getting a lot of quality games, which is kinda ironic considering its been replaced by Age of Sigmarines.
[QUOTE=Destroyox;48754883]It seems like Warhammer Fantasy is getting a lot of quality games, which is kinda ironic considering its been replaced by Age of Sigmarines.[/QUOTE] To be honest, i don't really see that as a problem with making more games based around the original Fantasy timeline. Better creating a game in Warhammer Fantasy where the lore itself is completed.
My only issue is a lot of the enemies look the same, I don't know if there are different types of enemies like L4D though. There was an armoured enemy and a ranged enemy but that's all I saw (at least from what I watched).
There are a bunch of enemy types. Normal Skaven, Stormvermin, Gutter Runners, Rat Ogres, Ratling Gunners, and those poison throwers.
[QUOTE=Destroyox;48756632]There are a bunch of enemy types. Normal Skaven, Stormvermin, Gutter Runners, Rat Ogres, Ratling Gunners, and those poison throwers.[/QUOTE] There's also Skaven Slaves. Hoping for more things like a Warlock Engineer, Warpfire Thrower, or maybe even a Grey Seer
[QUOTE=kiloy;48756924]There's also Skaven Slaves. Hoping for more things like a Warlock Engineer, Warpfire Thrower, or maybe even a Grey Seer[/QUOTE] Those last few sound like boss characters. I certainly hope we get to fight a grey seer. Maybe even a doomwheel.
