Had the same thought. Hopes dashed.

Off topic, but if they decide to show anything for Talisman or Speed Freeks:

Talisman is the Avalon Hill Version.
Speed Freeks is ONLINE ONLY(learned that when Iwas about to wish list the game).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821031.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821031.page GMT Skulls 2026 - 21st of May http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821035.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821035.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May

Is that what we call grey in the beard and temples these days? I like it.



Anyway, looking forward to seeing what's in store for Boltgun and Survivors, hopefully release dates for both. Fatshark can feth right off though, as I doubt they'll finally make right on their promises of giving us solo play and instead roll out either an event or the Skitarii that was leaked a while ago.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821043.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821043.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May 40K.

This does remind me I’ve got Space Marine 2 to actually, Y’know, play.

Haven’t heard of Battlesectors before.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821047.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821047.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May SM 2 when it first came out, but they[ve added a lot of content since then, I need to go back and replay it.

Same with Rouge Trader. Picked up the a couple of DLC but I got distracted before I gave it another run.

Looking forward (with moderately low expectations) to DoW4]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821050.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821050.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821051.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821051.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821052.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May

Would be nice if they added Squats or Genestealers to the game. But that's probably big enough to warrant making it on the featured games poster.

Since it's not, I guess we're still in for a new unit DLC that's happened biannually.so far.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821140.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821140.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May

It would be nice to see those factions, though Gladius is getting long in the tooth now. Not sure if they'll add those factions or, with Zephon now out, they'll be working on a Gladius 2 in the background. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821148.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821148.page GMT Re:Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May

New class for Darktide do you think?

Skitarii weapons have been data mined a good while ago and the teaser shows blue flashes of weapons fire and a servo skull, so Skitarii or someone AdMech related is most likely the new class.

We could be wrong though, in which case Darktide will see another round of angry review bombs like the community did with the ganger class.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821152.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821152.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May

The ganger class has been hit with some pretty hefty nerfs and debuffs over time. Fatshark is notorious for this, Vermintide 2 also suffering from this. But! Hehe, the ingame overpriced vanity shop does work just fine, no surprises there.

Also, though this is something a lot of games are discovering more and more now, a gaming community can and will review bomb over anything these days. Skitarii has been teased and hinted at for a good long while now, so to instead get the ganger, it did not go over well.

That the ganger and arbites DLC's being rather expensive, nerfed hard not long after release and not getting any custom cosmetics didn't do them any favours either, so bombs away!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821191.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821191.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821427.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821427.page GMT Skulls 2026 - A Festival of Video Games - coming 21st of May

Hive Scum is still the best class in the game, more or less tied with Psyker, and Arbites not far behind the two, so the whole narrative of nerfing things all the time, or nefing paid classes specifically is hogwash.

And PvE games do need some internal balancing, otherwise you end up with cases like the Duelling Sword or Plasma, where everything else in the same category is objectively inferior.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818937/11821461.page GMT Skulls 2026 - 21st of May

Not to mention this Skulls has been around for at least 3 years.

Please, no more "real time" games. I hate those.

The only one I'm even considering getting is Dawn of War IV. But I'm also considering not getting it because I've been getting less tolerant of RTS over the years, not more.

I would actually pay full price for a homeworld style BFG. As in one where the ships are slow and ponderous with advantages for each class and some of the 3d pathing and decision making.

Or at least a non arcade style BFG. The recent computer games didn't do it for me. Isn't there a WW1 battleships game that could be modded?

Love that game!! It would have been an awesome engine for a BFG game!
Shame that it never got a sequel; I recall the tried to crowd fund it but didn't seem to do any marketing for it.
