A new turn-based Space Hulk game is coming out in 3 weeks! (I really need to pay more attention to these things.)

Also, it's now available for pre-ordering.

Want it but... grossly overpriced.

Want it but... grossly overpriced.

30 bucks just to pre-order it, for those casually browsing.

Now, if the multiplayer had one player run the genestealers and the other the space marines like in the board games...

 

[Diablo169]

£22.00 for a preorder. Think i'll wait for reviews on this one.

Another thing to note is that these guys have said on their Jagged Alliance Kickstarter they'll be using some of the profits from Space Hulk to supplement money they've already raised.

$30.00 for an animated board game, they can eat a dick. I'll pass, despite wanting to play Space Hulk. I wonder if they'll eventually release Dreadfleet?

 

[Excidium]

I don't see anything wrong here, it's following the same pricing policy as GW's physical products

Meh. I'm not funding their jagged alliance until they prove they can deliver above-shovelware quality. This Space Hulk doesn't look that bad, but desn't seem to warrant the price. Guess they're trying to overcompensate for Frontline Tactics, which was sold at the right price exactly.

I never understand why people won't pay 30 for a turn based computerized board game but will happily shell out 60 for the latest AAA game. Is there any wonder why publishers have abandoned turn-based games?

The last AAA game I bought was Deus Ex HR for $2.50. About 3$ even with the expansion during the sale. About how much they're worth.

Is it all corridors?

Who here shells out $60 for the latest AAA games?

Last time I shelled out $60 for a game on release was when they offered more than 20 hours worth of play time, just saying.

Liar detected. Back when games offered more than 20 hours playtime they didn't cost that much. They were always at 30 until the Krazy Konsole pricing caught on recently.

Last game I paid 'D1P' price to was Torchlight 2 for... $12 after 2-pack preorder discount and selling the copy of TL1 I got with it. Last Triple A game I bought was (excluding System Shock 2) Borderplands 2 which Bruticis sold me for $5 since he got a key with his graphics card.

Re: Space Hulk pricing. It's $10 too much in light of the fact that Conquistadors and Shittyrun Retards were both $20. I suspect Wastelands 2 will be $30ish and that will be far more deep than this was just looks to be straight up combat.

 

[InspectorRumpole]

Not paying that kind of money for an iOS game.
Not even wanting to play an iOS game.

 

[Excidium]

Shittyrun Retards

Best since Faggout New Faggot

 

[Western]

Will wait for Codex opinions, doubt it's worth $30.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Shittyrun Retards

Best since Faggout New Faggot

And Alphaturd

 

[Caim]

I'm curious as to what they'll add in this game. Will it just be campaign/skirmish/multiplayer, or more? How about customization, can we only play as the Blood Angels or as other chapters as well?

WTH are you talking about? SNES games like Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI were $75. I think that's like $130 in today's dollars or something.

 

[Metro]

$75? Maybe in Australia or something. When I was growing up most NES (granted not SNES) games were $35-$50.
