Poll: What 40k games need to be made?

[Mezrev]

I would have said Mass Effect usually, but a universe like 40k doesn't really support roleplaying. Unless you follow the life of a soldier who does absolutely nothing but go to different planets to kill stuff, it's not really gonna happen.

Homeworld got my vote. I always loved hte idea of the Battlefleet Gothic stuff, but they were too small and too expensive for me to bother with. A Homeworld-esque type RTS would be perfect.

Why wouldn't it support roleplaying? Sure, the tabletop game is all about the battles, but books have plenty of material about the life of people in the Imperium.

Mass Effect looks popular, any thoughts on how to do it?

 

[caz105]

Mass effect playing as Cypher anyone?

 

[lordsandro]

Why not MMORTS. Every player starts with his own planet and little by little he try to conquere the galaxy. The game will change from tactical map (planet and stuff) to old school RTS map and gameplay for the fight.

Validation. I knew I wasn't alone.

I would LOVE to see a "Battlefield 40,000" game...

In fact that would be the most ridiculous fun ever.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Mass Effect 40K has a nice ring to it, and it is definitely possible. All right, what I mean is a Mass Effect -style RPG set in the 40K universe, not simply pasting two separate franchises together.

I could deal with an battlefield like FPS. A 64 player match would be great!

 

[Meshakhad_v1legacy]

Battlefield 40,000 sounds like a good idea, so long as you leave the Imperial Guard out of it. I'd go with the factions being Space Marines, Chaos, Eldar, and Orks... yeah, that works.

They've done a 40K shooter already and it sucked (Fire Warrior)
There needs to be something where you play as an inquisitor and can requisition tanks and troops and equipment

 

[For Science]

Fire Warrior was poorly made, a 40k shooter could work.

Another Gears vote I take it.

I was going to say GTA/Saints Row/Mercenaries but I guess Mass Effect is the closest.
I would love to be able to create any kind of character than run around a (group of) world(s) at war doing all sorts of crazy missions and stunts.
The trick would be to come up with campaigns for each race.

I got an idea! We need a WAR inspired Sims game. Hahaha.

"Honey, I'm home! Those pesky mutants at work gave me a bit of trouble, sorry I'm late, how are you?"

"BLARGH BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!"

Holy shit its that time of the month again. Ready the Tamponic Torpedoes!

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

I'd play a Baldurs Gate or NWN Style game based on the Dark Heresy RPG, but that's about it. I hate the miniatures game with a passion.

 

[Chipperz]

I dont want an WH40K game to be another game with Wh40K plastered over it. I want it to be unique and true to the fighting in 40K. Something like a blaneblade commander.

Although Mass Effect could work would have to be an inquisitor or the like.

This^

Inquisitor the game would be utterly awesome.

Also, they need a planetside, where you pick a race and get thrown into the action in a huge MMOFPS spanning multiple planets and solar systems.

A bunch of mates and me had a great idea for Inquisitor the game;

MMORPG, everyone makes an Inquisitor and starts with 1-2 followers that are basic guardsmen. You start with a quest that's simple, like, say, cleanse a planet of chaos taint. Another Inquisitor made at the same time gets the objective "keep the same planet with subtle influences of Chaos, so we can study them to learn how to better fight cults later." Hilarity and immense, cinematic PvP with psychic attacks, intense melee and badass gunfights ensues!

An RTS based on Epic would be nice, the Batlefleet gothic idea sounds cool and so does the sim idea...perhaps make some sort of RTS/4x hybrid. Maybe a bit like Medieval Total war crossed with Galactic Civilisations/Civ IV.

You start with a newly converted Imperial planet filled with backwards cretinous peons and from there try to spread the emporers light to the surrounding planets & systems. Will you convert them peacefully or virus bomb the fuck out of the heretical scum? How to balance production quotas with burning mutants and heretics?
