From Strategyinformer.com: "Ever since Relic started up the Dawn of War franchise, THQ have been the true champions of Games Workshops's sci-fi IP. Seven years down the line and now THQ are brining out a slew of new titles using this property, one of which is the 40K MMO, now known as Dark Millennium Online. Being developed by Vigil Games, this title is slated to include all of the knowledge gleaned from the company's Darksiders title, as well as many of the staff's MMO background as Ex-NCSoft."
In these series, games will be featured with thoughts for re-inventing, or made better by adding (subtracting) some new elements into one (or more) of their existing building blocks. It is all wishful thinking in the end but one cannot know where a game director seeks inspiration from.
This week - a favorite of many Warhammer 40k fans and a game that deserves a sequel.
Kotaku - It's a strange thing, the video game industry. The people who publish big games will sometimes cancel, move, or overhaul them entirely. Nothing wrong with any of that, but one big problem is that along the way, some of those publishers will clam up. They'll refuse to give straight answers or talk about their plans.
It looked really great I m more of a time of legends fan then ye space marines but it's still warhammer. It was originally slated to be an mmo but they didn't have the budget it seems I still hope it releases now that it's an adventure type game with increased emphasis on MP.
Edit: looool at the interview that was more like an integration he was even doubting the thq representatives words! xD funniest interview ever! "What does DMO stand for?" hahahahahaha
As Gen Con 2012 opens in Indianapolis, "The Best Four Days in Gaming" can still feel a bit foreign to video gamers. Josh helps build Justin, Ethan and you a bridge to the tabletop so everyone can enjoy the show.
races are divided in two factions ?
come on, in W40K, it's everyone against everyone ! I'm afraid this MMO might end up being another re-skinned World of Warcraft :-(
I'm much more excited about space marine and the next add-on of Dawn of War 2
Looks like any over MMO, no different.
As a past collector of 40k im always hoping for a new kind of warhammer game like a third person shooter or rpg were you rise through the ranks of Fire Warrior of Space Marine, one can only Dreammmmmmmmmmmmmm.
It's a remodelling of the MMO in my opinion. The shooting plays like a shooter, the vehicles look fierce and fun to drive and have variety (Bike, Car, Mechs, Helicopters), the epic scale (Huge Towering Mechs). Damn, this is going to be fun.
