I was sort of on the fence about Watch Dogs. I especially didn't the protagonist's jacket. But then I saw this...

By Jove!

A Mortheim game!
(Please don't be shit. Please don't be shit. Please don't be shit. 
)
(Weirdly enough, you anglophone peeps seem to call it Mordheim. Silly people.)
Mordheim: City of the Damned, then, is the latest of publisher Focus Home’s licensed adaptations of vintage tabletop wargames–Games Workshop’s Mordheim, in this case. Announced today, it’s due to launch later this year.
Released in 1999, Mordheim saw various Warhammer Fantasy factions fighting for control of the eponymous smashed city and the magical wyrdstone scattered across it by a crashing comet. On top of the typical dice-and-rulers battling action, it boasted RPG-y bits which saw units levelling up and gaining shiny new equipment across campaigns. Which is broadly the shape of this adaptation too. Expect both a single-player campaign and multiplayer. [...]

For a group of bible literalists, they sure spent a lot of time lovingly rendering the bare chested man.

I mean, GW rented out their IP for shit games lately, so I am sceptical. Still. A MORTHEIM GAME!

Mordheim as a video game could be nice. Something kinda like the new X-Com games in playstyle would work if they plan on keeping it tactical.
Of course...maybe they will turn it into a shitty FPS. GW does not have a good track record with its games, for a company so hell bent on protecting its IP it seems more than willing to hand them out to the lowest bidder.

Lately, yes. Storm of Vengeance and Space Hulk, anyone?
Although it does say the game will be turn-based in the press release, so here'S hoping.

I dunno. I've enjoyed the likes of DoW 1and 2, Dark Omen, Mark of Chaos. Never got Fire Warrior to work. Would've liked a proper RPG though - possibly a 40K one.

Yeah, but those all happened before GW pimped out their IP to anyone who asks.

I'm not sure that would require much memory. I do think that there will be less interaction than we expect and the world doesn't feel as fleshed out and alive as we hope. But then we are gamers, everything disappoints us.
