@Grunker, you own it. Is it any good?

 

[Mrowak]

I heard that is unpolished 1:1 translation of a tabletop game to a computer game format.

I haven't played it yet because I've been busy with Papers, Please (highly, HIGHLY recommendable), but RPS and Trash says it's a 1:1 implementation of the board game but it still sucks ass.

wouldn't that mean that the board game sucks ass?

Nah, it's elements seperate from the board game. Slow walking animations, horrible camera, that kindda stuff. Supposedly. Check the link.

What a surprise. Supposedly.

Are this the same guys like Jagged Alliance Flashback?

 

[The_scorpion]

yes. Space Hulk is supposed to be their Jackpot Game that's gonna make them so much Moneys that they will be able to make a huge and phantastic JA:F even in spite of the limited Kickstarter sum.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Sounds like a good plan. Btw, have they even started JA:F?

 

[The_scorpion]

i have no idea. I guess they haven't because they're small and probably needed most manpower for Space Hulk *shrug*

If this Space Hulk is any indication of what the future JAF is going to be like... I reasonably expect it to be rather faithful to the source material, extremely low budget, clunky interface and poor AI.
If they really wanted to finance JAF through this... all I have to say is: "good luck". Thus far their marketing seems pretty crappy, I'm not sure if they've gotten any support from games workshop in that matter.
But, if they play their cards right with the mission editor and groom the multiplayer community, they may have some success.

 

[Gragt]

Yeah, it has the potential to do well with sales in the long run if they add some polish and fixe some of the annoyances.

Computer space hulk is literally impossible to fuck up, and yet they still managed to?

 

[spectre]

No, the implementation looks ok, it's just pretty rough around the edges.
My main gripe with it is this: single player campaign is 12 missions long, with 30 minutes to 45 spent on a mission. Cool beans for 27 jewros.

They didn't fuck it up at all...Its EXACTLY what we were promised. A Faithful representation of the Space Hulk board game.

If the walking animation or no customization is your biggest pet peeve its pretty laughable to be honest.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

i might actually play it then when it tanks in price.
