Yes. Or An Inquisitor rpg. People were talking about this on the escapist a week back. Did they hear us ? Hmm Dark Heresy rpg on the pc.Da Orky Man said:
THQ Downgrades Warhammer 40K MMO
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
I'm happy that it's switched to a Single player game. But...120 people were laid off, that's not good and I feel bad for them. I hope we still get multiple races though. I mean I know playing as a Nid or a Necron is almost impossible. But Eldar, Tau, and Chaos Marines I can see as being reasonable.Sandytimeman said:
Maybe now THQ has laid off enough people in the current financial year that he can claim a new pad of pink slips on tax.Greg Tito said:
Considering THQ's shaky financial footing, this is the best move they could make.
Call me a cynical bastard but I think dropping the MMORPG and releasing it as a SP/MP game instead was part of whatever deals they've had to make to keep the wolves from the door. Not only can they stop shovelling money into the MMO pit but going single player also opens it up for porting to the console market as well.
Got to be a bastard for the people who got shitcanned... but the way THQ's studios have been haemorraging staff over the past 18 months, when they weren't outright shut down, they probably weren't surprised.

aw...man, and I was excited to blast away the heretic hordes with my buddies.
anyway, I think a singleplayer would work just fine, they've proven to make excellent singleplayer games too, so I'll support this decision.

When I read the title I was afraid downgrading meant the war had to be removed but a single player RPG? Freaking awesome, I've been waiting ages for one of those! Here's hoping a Warhammer Fantasy one follows.
Plus a single player RPG will be far more merciful to my computer then WAR was.

if warhammer games are not made in an rts style then it shouldn't be made at all. Sonicron you are wrong because I absolutely love single player and if they focused twice as hard on making a good single player rts for 40k, the multiplayer easily follows.
Warhammer is based upon armies and stratergy. Stop destroying a great science fiction brand by ruining the whole priniciples of what it was build for. Or at least call it mordheim or something.

Echoing a lot of people's posts, I'm sorry about the job losses but glad this isn't another MMO. SW:TOR was the last disappointing straw I was ready to buy, I just find them boring. If they really pull it together as an RPG, then it could be awesome and I'll be ready to part with my cash.
That makes no sense at all it's a spinoff for a reason. There's no point in only limiting it to one genre regardless of it's roots. Also considering there's an table top RPG using the Warhammer 40000 setting already this is nothing new.kingthrall said:
So instead of WH40K based MMO they will do a WH40K based 3rdPS with chest high walls?
I do wonder, have they thought this through?

Where did you get that idea at all? They didn't mention any genres even once. They didn't even say the single player RPG part so I have no idea where the escapist got that especially with them not giving any sources. Also even Space Marine didn't use chest high walls so I really don't know where you got that idea.PingoBlack said:
Yeah, I get all that. I was just being facetious. Obviously an MMO is a bigger money pile, its the grand king of sucking money from players for very little gameplay.KeyMaster45 said:
