Space Hulk: Deathwing

Pre-order beta has now "slipped" out to the end of next week. :( And that's just their aim so I guess it could slip further. :mad:
 
TB is streaming this now.

Tutorial looked bloody awful as is the UI, not sure if the rest will be ok.

Edit: Pretty awful all round.

Has ended. Quick link to other Twitches

There are less than 1000 viewers watching Deathwing streams right now. Which surprises me because of how good Vermintide was last year.

Admittedly I'm not yet getting that level of vibe with this game yet. Carefully watching for now. Imho they should have gone the long term early access and faux long term support business model of the DayZ/Ark type games.
 
I was joined by two members of the Spacehulk: Deathwing team tonight on my stream for a Q & A session, I asked them questions and took questions from chat, hope you enjoy!

Was good to hear some feedback from them last night. They're normally bloody hard to get anything out of! Did I get the right impression in thinking they were hinting at future expansions?
 
I saw a bit of my friends closed beta but didn't get the chance to try it myself.

Now that I have, and I appreciate it's still beta, I found is very disappointing. Considering what the UE4 engine is capable of, the gameplay is just so bland and limited ideas "I know, let's just throw unlimited enemies at the player when going for an objective!"

Gun/melee feedback is unsatisfying, no explanation on what the powerups are as you unlock them.

I'll keep the pre-order and hope for the best, but it doesn't look good.
 
I am enjoying the beta at present.

Fair enough its a bit unstable and, sometimes hard to find a good session but it IS fun.

I don't think the gfx are great though. It all has a washed out feel to it and the enemies are a bit low detail. Bear in mind I am running it a high settings. I'll try max next.

It also slows down a fair bit when it gets hectic hopefully this will improve towards release.

I'd rate it good but not great. It seems quite limited and I am doubting the re-play value. But I am a bit fan of the board game so I am biased. :D
 
Noticed this appeared yesterday in beta form, grabbed it, ran through the tutorial, didnt really jump out at me nut I only spent 10 minutes on it..

i think the tyranids are very much a numbers faction, so thats normal, and maybe the unweightyness of the guns is from the terminator armour being such a good platform?
 
Mates uploaded a vid from us playing on Thursday.


I loved the map and the atmosphere in the game, but with the gunplay, I didn't feel like I was getting much feedback and was just disappointing.
I was playing as an apothecary and was looking forward to unlocking the redemption storm bolter, but by that time, the enemies that were being thrown at me, I might as well be ****ing in the wind.
I know I was playing as a medic, but towards the end, I can't say the gameplay was all that great for me.

Of course, 1/2 way through I developed a screen bug, but that's what the beta's about
 
I played this last night with a few friends and I'm not sure if I want to keep my pre-order, the graphics don't really grab me and tbh the game play itself while fun with friends, I think will be slightly limited once you complete the maps first time round.
I get people not liking the gun play, I went a heavy and the guns didn't feel that varied except the pulse cannon.
 
TotalBiscuit was not impressed one bit with the beta, check out his ''SPESS MEHRINES. Multiple simultaneous defensive deepstrikes'' YT vid (can't link due to naughty words).

The game is due out very soon and from my own impressions playing it and seeing what others are saying I'm not pre-ordering for sure now.
