If they were making them what would you want.

Personally since BloodBowl is already coming to xbox 360/psp I am happy but I would love a Necromuda game a la Grand Theft Auto and Gangs of London (Both FTW) were you fight for control of a hive!

Necromunda would be great, with experience an resident evil style ubgradeable weapons and equipment.
Or a mount and blade version of fantasy.

A third-person shooter in the manner of Gears of War where you play as a Space Marine would be great, but I think WH40k: Space Marine can do just that.

Yes but it's going to be more close combat and only using a bolt pistol to ''stun'' enemies

You can play as a Devastator.

The game has changed pretty much completely since the first video, I wouldn't count on this remaining true.

Damn
I'm still going to buy it though.

Also let's keep this on topic please.

I'll love to see a full strategy game like World in Conflict instead of only squad based like the DOW games. It would be incredible to be able to advance whole companies on Imperial supported by chimeras and Russ while you drop some storm troopers in the rear by Valkyries of deep strike.

I agree with this too. You realize that ever since they got a redo on the game, you havnt seen that element in a video. Its only in that old school version. And personally Im glad they changed it. When I saw that mini gmae where you punched the hell out of that chaos marine..... I instantly thought "oh crap this game is getting gay"

A good Necromunda game would be badass. A turn base squad strategy would be pretty friggin cool. Specially seeing as graphics these days are just gorgeous.

I think any game based off of 40k-WHFB should be a good game. As long as they attempt to do them right unlike fire warrior. Man that game was a pile-o-crap

Mark of Chaos was also a disappointment. A re-do of Dark Omen with better graphis but everything else a lot worse than DO (gameplay, story, voice acting/dialogues, Army management)
The developers apparently played too much Titan Quest and too little Dark Omen. If there is another Fantasy strategy game, bring back Morgan Bernhard and the Grudgebringers!

Am I the Only one who like Mark of Chaos?

Probably not... but it does not stand up to it's predescessors (Shadow of the Horned Rat and Dark Omen) or contemporary similar games like the Total War series. Having played the other games, MoC just doesn't fullfill the expectations for me.

The first two WFB PC-games were great.
It had units with personality, and talking heads to warn you about things (we're under fire), that was usefull and funny too, YMMV. The units in MoC were faceless mooks whithout personality, expensive cannon fodder. I'd rather save Eric Ragnar or Urblab Rotgut (DO) than First Knight #2.
Then there is the progress of the campaign, the map in MoC (even if you could move backwards, I'm not sure you could) is completely unnessecary. To me it pretends to give the player options like in a map-based campaign (Perfectly done in Total War), while it's just a linear, guided narrative with a few sidequests. A waste of time to cover up the lack of plots and subplots.
Dark Omen featured a rather entertaining rivalry between the protagonist and the Witch Hunter, for example. Their discussions were great. Best I have seen so far in a game. EA got their stories and characters to be right for the job. MoC failed here with cutscenes and dialogues that just not hit the spot for me. http://en.dark-omen.org/texts/quotes/index.html
A loading screen for the loading screen... Long load times, restricted map movement, lack of immersion.


True, the graphics are better than SotHR and DO and you play with a wider variety of full races in the campaigns rather than just a ragtag bunch of mercenaries. People could prefer that.

I expected MoC to have the best of both worlds, and possibly more.

MHO: I ment for a Necromunda games as a gang warfare like GTA or gangs of london. where you walk around do missions and kill rival gangs, not turn based.

I would love a Brothers in Arms style game where you played as either a Space Marine or Imperial Guardsman. Commanding squads while being right in the thick of it is a major element of the fluff, and would translate to a video game very well. It could also convey the combined arms approaches of each unit, whether it's tactical squads, assault marines, tanks or what have you.
