Sega 32X posted:Dragonlance has all sorts of rights issues these days, IIRC. Might be cool to do an India mythology Total War. They haven't really done a lot of stuff in India and it would have some fun stuff like elephants. If they were doing the battles in the Mahabharata you could have all sorts of wild heroes and monsters and such wrecking poo poo.

D&D isn't in competition with GW in the tabletop space. LoTR already has enough "cultural foothold" without the Amazon series, but aside from that WB has the current rights for video games in the IP, GW only had narrow rights to make tabletop wargaming stuff. Other companies have separate deals for card and roleplaying games.

An Eberron game has the necessary Total War aspect if they wanted to adapt a D&D setting, but most of the setting’s development has been done in the 20’s style pulp period after the cataclysmic magical WW1 pastiche.

TWW2 had like five years of DLCs. TWW3 might have even more of it, specially if they're adding mini-campaigns to the menu. I will have spent more on this trilogy than on my house by the time it is done with content.

God knows the last thing CA needs is for culture warriors screaming and making GBS threads themselves at perceived hinduphobia because they have the brains of chimps. Crackpot theory would be Total War Warcraft or TES by the time the development wraps up on Total warhams 3.

If Microsoft buys SEGA I'll believe it, but Japan apparently has laws against foreign ownership of domestic companies. Total War: Endless Legends would be my wild take since SEGA owns both CA and Amplitude and Legends has a lot of cool factions that could be adapted to an assymetrical Total War. Total War: Dominions is like the one IP that could really surpass Total Hammer in "mash different periods/myths/themes in big fite" and it is a shame it won't ever happen.

Total War has to do 40K at some point. Even if it takes some iterating over a couple of installments, I can't see how CA and GW wouldn't at least want to try and make a go of it.

Yeah, don't go fooling yourself, there's going to be a 40k Total War at this point. There's also no reason why it wouldn't be possible to make one. A couple of months back I think it was Dan Abnett (who's a GW employed author most associated with 40k as I understand it, he's the Eisenhorn guy and such), while working on that Darktide game, said he was also working on another in-development game project that he couldn't speak about, only that it was much bigger (than Darktide) and the biggest one GW has been working on yet (or something along that line). It's very probably 40k Total War.

Building and painting mans is fun, looking at them set up on a cool model battlefield is fun, it isn't scratching the same itch as a video game at all. Can't afford GW and their games suck poo poo though, so historicals it is. You can have two full WW2 platoons for the cost of like, a squad of space marines. With a huge swathe of better rulesets to choose from.

To change things up a bit I am going to gush more about Skarbrand. I am glad they captured the experience of using him on the battlefield. As in he is just a moving ball of death that ravages realms with his armies as it were just doing their best to keep up and not end up also being butchered by their master.

I imagine post-release will be every year releasing Dogs of War mercs and Not-Indians and Not-Japanese and Not-Arabs and Not-Mongols with legendary lords and missing units for old factions sprinkled between each of those releases and some old mythology with the license numbers filed off for a Monkey King DLC. Also Nagast and his undead apocalypse.

Realtalk I got more nazis trying to recruit me as a teenager into Warhammer than in historicals. That prolly doesn't come as a shock, GW didn't feel compelled to push back for no reason. Heard an unironic "the skaven represent jews" which is one of the most brokebrained "this literally only makes sense if you own an SS uniform" takes in all of warhammer lore chat. Prolly helps that in historicals everyone usually has both sides. If somebody rolled up with nothing but 3000 points of SS that'd be sketch af, but it's normal in warhammer. I'm burnt, from moving around a lot as a kid/teen and trying to get pickup games of warhammer in strange cities, it was always a dice roll whether a given store was "pride flags everywhere" kind or "nazi comic book guys, women feel uncomfortable walking in" kind.

30 years ago your greatest threat in a game store was how long ago the people in there had bathed  Edit: Actually Games Workshop had an anti fascist response in like 2003. I was a red shirt at the “Chicago” (suburbs) Battle Bunker and some teenagers came in and were standing around one of our demo tables. I was wise to this poo poo at this point because I used to be a suburban teenager and they are all evil fucks. Anyway; these kids hurriedly left the store and when I looked at the table they had arranged the trees into a swastika. I ran outside and proceeded to start an expletive ridden tirade against them and I was a mid 20s tattooed former bike messenger so I guess I intimidated and they sheepishly apologized and scurried off. Also on our opening night some random teenage girl walked in, was handed a raffle ticket, and five minutes later they held the raffle and she won a forge world resin Eldar bomber that retailed for like $400 and some dude handed her $200 cash for it because she had zero idea what was even happening or why it smelled like BO so strongly Twigand Berries fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Jan 21, 2022 |

Googling 'W40k space marine 2 writer' gets some amazing results btw. The head writer is a transgender woman who often tweets her support for BLM etc, so the average W40k fan is ANGRY.

Here's the thing though, do you reckon å sequel to Space Marine, a very narrow and focused 3rd person action game, merits being named a much bigger project than Darktide (I'd say they are pretty similar), much less possibly the biggest video game project GW has worked on?

Why would you think that GW would waste one of their best writers on something as narratively thin as an RTS campaign? Far FAR more likely is that Abnett is writing for a huge narrative RPG in the style of The Witcher or old fashioned Bioware RPGs.
