[Rumor] Bioware to get Warhammer 40k licence

Let's just hope EA shuts them down after DA 3, before they touch this.

Hmmm. Well atleast they would bring back Dark Eldar. Maybe.

Bring back Squats! /volly

My lolpenis is getting harder and harder.

Up until today I didn't even know I had a lolpenis in addition to my regular one.

Probably better than hiring Bethesda to do the next Planescape:Torment, though. Good thing THAT won't come to pass.

Ok, now you've creeped me out.

The other big question is what four magical allies you will need to convince to help you save the universe from orks. Bets anyone?

Knorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle and Tzeentch.

You know... i can see them doing something like that... a 'avatar' preferably amnesiac that you can 'influence' through the game. I can even see them thinking it would be a good plot.


Slaanesh romance options. Platonic, 'just bros', true love, wild fucking (renegade ending with warp rift).

This thread should be renamed LOL, WH40K.

I cannot wait until the 40k fans get a load of Bioware. This is gonna be great.

 

[DraQ]

This. I'm not getting the butthurt.
From what I gather there are only 2 ways in which one can like 40k - by recognizing the irony of its over the top grimdark and by being essentially a fascist wannabe. The second way is, of course, retarded and necessarily way more rabid, which is why it dominates.

So, what we're going to see is retard developers with their retard followers pissing off another group of retards which will end up with retards pitted against retards, tons of hilarious butthurt and a shitstorm to shake the foundations of the internet.
In short, it will be a spectacle to behold.


Watching a moron hop up and down on an antitank mine is inherently entertaining and I can't see why it would be a bad thing.

It's clearly some Tzeentchean plot.

Bioware need to fuck off. They don't have the writing chops to pull off the tone that 40k has. Their idea of grimdark is an annoying kid you just met dying not 5 minutes later.

 

[evdk]

writing chops

40k

o_O

 

[Jashiin]

If this is true it will cause so much butthurt.. pretty fitting for a setting that has a dude sitting on a magic dickchair for thousands of years.

 

[Jaedar]

The only thing this will do is make me occasionally type BIOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE instead of MATT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD.

 

[Irenaeus]

I can see by this thread that WH40K instill a lot of butthurt in LIBRULS

Notice I said tone and not plot. 40k's writing has been average at best. I would still place it on a much higher pedestal that anything Bioware has made though. Thats why I find this disturbing.

I can already see the Chapter Brother romances coming in, or perhaps your marine will get to fuck a Necron.

Nothing that hasn't come up in /tg/ already.

Now you can't go back and express yourself less moronically

Anyway, is this still the rumor stage or has there been any official announcement/statement?
I think Bio could pull off WH40k. They just need to keep their over the top gore and minimize romances, light-heartedness and shitty plots.

I think it's still only a rumour, anyone has confirmation? Also, Bioware hasn't writen games with the same quality as WH40K books since BG2.

 

[Darth Roxor]

rumour?

more like humour

 

[Erebus]

Let's try and predict the love interests Bioware would feel compelled to include in a 40K game :

- Buff spess mehreen

- Bolter bitch who'll futilely try to resist her growing feelings for you

- Stoic male Tau

- Sexy, kinky female Dark Eldar

- Slaaneshi dickgirl
