Apparently out tomorrow, so has anyone got Space Hulk pre-ordered? Anyone played the board game? At £23, I'm just going to wait for this one to go on sale.

I was going to pre-order both this and The Bureau: XCOM Declassified but held off.
Never played the board game but I did play EA's Space Hulk (1993).
What's put me off the new Space Hulk is the lack of info and videos which always puts me on the back foot so to speak.
Both will get further consideration come sale time.

Turn based tactical strategy sounds good.. Space marines...Not so much. Think I'll be like ICE and consider it when it is on sale. Unless I see or hear something later that makes me want it sooner.
(saw this on the side bar of the main page, in case someone wonders why a guy who doesn't like space marines is posting in the Outer Space Sim forum...)
I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

Yeah I am interested in this one from the turn based tactical perspective, and some of the dev plays videos it looks pretty good, but I am going to wait for reviews. It's ok Hogdriver, we'll let you visit Outer Space Sim forum as a guest this time without needing to join the official nerd club  just this once though...

Nope, HogDriver is tainted now. He will from this day forward have to avoid the light.
I love turn based tactical games but I still have nightmares about that 93 game. It was hard as hell and made me swear of space hulk forever. Maybe Ill have to check this one out.

Space Hulk is being done by Slitherine and Games Workshop, and Slitherine have done some great harcore turn based games on iPad, including one of my favorites "Battle Academy" and "Panzer Corps" currently in the works. The way Slitherine do iPad games is not a dumbed down 99 cent version, but the full hardcore PC game on the iPad, they've taken some heat on the pricing because of that, since the iPad version is normally feature and price identical to the PC version. I will be interested in the iOS version of Space Hulk assuming the reviews are good.

There may be a lot of crap for mobile devices, but don't discount the iPad as a legitimate venue for quality games. There are many direct PC ports available for the iPad: Frozen Synapse Battle Academy Imperium Galactica 2 Ascension Baldurs Gate XCOM Enemy Unknown Max Payne Grand Theft Auto Vice City Gratuitous Space Battles There are even more legitimately good board game conversions, like Eclipse, Neuroshima Hex and Talisman. That's what Space Hulk is, a Games Workshop sanctioned conversion of the original game. We already know it's a good game. We've already played it, and barring any snafu's with the implementation it's a fairly safe bet. http://pockettactics.com/2013/04/03/out-of-the-warp-space-hulk-gameplay-video-from-gdc/Don't confuse this with the Slitherine game 40K: Armageddon http://pockettactics.com/2013/05/22/lets...n-announcement/That, along with Panzer Corp are going to be on mobile soon, and more to come.

About died when I saw this game announced. Pre-ordered. Steam installed it today. Been playing since I got home from work.
Its... ok.
It is definitely from a small studio. Little things are missing: remappable keys, etc. Not a huge plethora of animations (but whats in there is good). Think more like playing Battlefront's Combat Mission on a really small scale than playing XCom as it was described.
It is definitely a board game residing on the PC: dice rolls happening under the hood (that you can watch if you like). Not a plus or a minus.
BUT - its clearly a labor of love and there's lots of room for improvement and clearly space left for expanability. Lots of atmosphere.
It is brutally hard, like the boardgame. There is no handholding or "easy mode" sliders. Therefore, I'm sticking with it. I like hard.
Glad I didn't bother then, don't do board games especially board games on PC don't see the point.

Probably cos you can't buy the board game anymore and it's only available on Amazon/Ebay...ranging from $100-$400 depending on what edition you buy. Also the fact that you can now play this "board game" across the interweb with your buddies without having to ask your wife for sleepovers.

That made me chuckle  I thought it was going to be more like XCOM EU so I'm a little disappointed but glad I didn't buy it. I have never played a board game and have no intention ever so I guess it wouldn't suit me. Thanks for the heads-up though guys.
