Sunflash Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 My fear is it turning into something like Space Marine. Good solid gameplay, interesting story, cliff-hanger ending... then attempt to sell it on mutiplayer that is only half-baked, and follow it up by not actually doing the sequal. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorondor Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/13/mar/shulk1s.jpg :: What we’re overall aiming for is to take the board game experience and make a digital game out of it. What we mean with that is not taking it literally, 1:1. If you have in your head the boardgame as you play that, and XCOM, and mix those two together. That’s the game experience you can expect from Space Hulk. Rock, Paper Shotgun's Alec Meer got a hold of Mr.Thomas Hentschel Lund, boss of Full Control, the studio responsible for the development of the upcoming Space Hulk for an exclusive talk.

Thorondor Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 (...) Considering there's very few units in the game I'm surprised more attention wasn't given to them, because the result of your actions feels a little disappointing. Especially the death animations, the Genestealers just jerk about and explode in an incredibly poorly rendered blood spurt, while the Terminators just keel over after the hit has already taken place. Compare with how dynamic fighting XCOM's aliens felt, and Space Hulk pales in comparison. :: Read the rest of Mr.James Haresign's review of Space Hulk at StrategyInformer here.

Thorondor Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Two new DLCs have been spotted in Steam's online space, with purchase possible. https://cdn4.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/246564/header_292x136.jpg Space Hulks do not usually move under their own power, the winds and tides of warpspace usually determine the course of these derelict clusters of ships. The Defilement of Honour was different, being equipped with a functioning engine room of sorts, as well as an ancient navigational device in control of its course. The Blood Angels knew that the Defilement of Honour only represented a threat as long as it was under its own power. If the engines were shut down and its progress through the Warp would stop, the Space Hulk could then be examined and then destroyed. Further scans of the ship provided details of the internal configuration of the vessel and the number of Genestealers present. There appeared to be two separate groups of aliens, at different ends of the Space Hulk. https://cdn4.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/246563/header_292x136.jpg The Space Marine Vessel, The Sword of Halcyon, left the orbit of planet Falkhan and prepared for the journey back to its homeworld. Upon entering the warp The Sword of Halcyon jolted suddenly and came to a halt. Instantly the ship’s alarms rang and all aboard prepared for the worst. Reports from the navigator came back that the ship had encountered a warp storm. A giant Space Hulk appeared as the storm came to its climax and a crash was inevitable. Functioning scanners showed a steady build up of new, alien life signs, Genestealers. The survivors in the rear section of the vessel had no option but to retreat to the escape capsules. Within an hour and a half of its jettison, the escape pods were picked up by the Imperial battlebarge Mayan. Sergeant Lexon, a survivor from The Sword of Halcyon held an emergency conference with the Blood Angels on board of the Mayan. It was swiftly decided that for the honour of the chapter they must attempt to recapture the ship from the Genestealers. The Blood Angels Terminators prepared for battle, and with grim resolution the order was given to launch boarding torpedoes. :: All the information can be found at the Defilement of Honour and Sword of Halcyon product pages.
