Warhammer: Vermintide

Matmulder · 26 Sep 2015 at 13:49

I'm surpised there is no thread about this...

http://www.vermintide.com/

Co-op (4 player) first person action game based on the Warhammer Universe. 5 classes to chose, various abilities, the usual enemies. Decent looking game too.

Released to Steam on the 23rd of October.

Looks pretty fun based on the TotalBiscuit Beta impressions here:

I read warhammer - got excited
went onto website - looks nice
watched video - found it was a co-op fps game

looks pretty boring but then I don't really get co-op fps games :confused:

Could be interesting, but I was really hoping I could play as a skaven.

That came out of nowhere

Another game based on a universe GW no longer supports, they must be happy

Once again by a pretty unknown dev though, will wait and see.

Love me a horde based game.
More of a 40K fan, but I think I'll grab this.

If you own a Razer product you can sign up for a beta key. Got confirmation of mine just now.

Thanks for that - Razer Mamba pays off

It's good! Played it at EGX and got a beta key for it that launches Wednesday.

Looks really good, shame it's only 3 player though, would have preferred 4 - 5 people.

It is 4 player. The OP has it wrong.

Not to turn this into a DoW3 thread, but yea. Think Sega are keeping that one for themselves. Maybe a good thing though, it's a pretty big franchise which may require a larger developer.

Did a video on this after chatting to the developers at EGX for about 20 minutes via my press pass. They also provided me a closed beta copy so that I could play it to my hearts content and record what I wanted.

In short, the game is absolute quality. The graphics are insane, it plays just like left 4 dead 2 and each character has a unique playstyle to keep it fresh.

Winky_The_Winking_Turtle · 29 Sep 2015 at 15:53

Played at EGX too

Pleasantly surprised. At first glance it looked like an exact clone to L4D at some parts, especially the UI. Obviously they're both horde-type games so they draw similarities. I'm a sucker for first person melee weapons though (something that L4D did quite poorly imo), so maybe I'm just biased

James J · 29 Sep 2015 at 17:52

Its a cracking game. Just did a level on hard and found all 3 tomes so got some really nice loot at the end of it. You can also upgrade the loot in a similar way to diablo 3 where you merge it with rare items to give it better stats too.

Watlinguk · 29 Sep 2015 at 18:32

I like the look of it, like people have said Warhammer meets Chivalry, Can't be a bad thing right?

DEL 707 · 29 Sep 2015 at 19:39

I caved in and pre-ordered.

Just waiting on some kind of notification about beta access. Wanna play it.

jubei · 29 Sep 2015 at 19:48

Eh, my friends played this at EGX with Mr watching and it looked horrendous. Graphics were pretty bad, gameplay was just on rails and boring. Neither of them enjoyed it. Am surprised to see comments to the contrary from people that saw/played it at EGX.
