Maybe they will reveal what's in GW's mystery box 2 days in advance

But seriously, they will have special guests, which probably means collaboration with another company.

My money is on a video game.

Gah! I'll have to have my PP Staffer friend tell me afterwards cause I'm chained to the RE booth all weekend.

Theyre announcing a MMORPG.

If that was only true. Is it? I would dump my current MMORPG in a heart beat if so.

So it's going to be something of an MMO that isn't like WoW and WAR but it will have bright colours and fantasy..

They've been in talks with several companies for a while now for a video game / MMORPG.

In a market already saturated with fantasy MMO's it might be better to tackle a different game first. Tactics or a dating sim.

warmachine the rts..........


warmachine, the exciting puzzle game


warmachine, the build your own jack simulator.....


endless possibilities

It's probably going to be RTS ala Dawn of War.

If it has anything to do with what was in No Quarter several months ago, it's either a direct translation or a 'Jack fighting game.

A RTS would be good, but more of a killer combo type like the tabletop game, instead of the ordinary type where you find the one uber unit and build a hundred of them.

Tactics or turn-based.

Did you guys see Monpoc Map pack 3, it comes with the Privateer Press building!, Now thats a company with balls!

It's warmachine APOCALYPSE!!!

Exactly the same game, but wayyy more expensive. Plus the stompy robot things* get massive templates.


*If you hadn't worked it out already, i know nothing of warmachine

Yeah, this making announcements that you're going to announce something just has to stop.

It's Space Hulk.

Warcaster/Warlock fighting game.

hungry hungry warjack...............

that's good...

A "tactics" style video game would be really entertaining. As for an MMO I have to agree that the fantasy genre has been beaten to death. I'd hate to see another decent IP go to waste and join the ranks of DDO or Lotro. However the steam punk aspect of the game if done right might be enough to set it apart, but I doubt it. My hopes are on either a tactics style game or maybe even an Oblivian esque RPG.

Secret secret, they have a secret...

It's Kilroy...dun-dun...Kilroy.

Maybe their secret is that all the Retribution models were a giant extended April Fools joke and stuff that actually looks like the concept art will be out soon sans huge shoulder pads and GIANT penis-shaped cod-pieces.

Aww...why can't the penis-shaped cod pieces stay?

Sid, you are dead to me.

Warmachine would be a perfect setting for two fighting games. One for Casters, one for 'Jacks

I heard about the WM MMO ages ago, but then the rumors died for about a yr.

I would also be dumping my mmo for WM mmo, but only if it wasn't a click/move mmo.

a version WM WoW would be kinda cool.

Humour me as I'm old, what's an MMO?

A soul consuming Computer Game essentially.

Like world of Arsecraft.

But the GIANT cod pieces give the elves their magical powers. They are nothing without penis power.

My bet is RTS, but I would love a more strategic turn based game. Sadly that kind of game just does not get made anymore by anyone other than small studios like Matrix Games.
