40k Space marine had a horrible launch on PS3due to multiplayer being unplayable. As is multiplayer didn't work. These people have had this coming for a while.

Yeah, let's just go ahead and dismiss the fact that Relic is the only studio other than Blizzard making RTS games that are worth a damn.

I really hope someone picks up the Darksiders IP and the core team making it when THQ shuts down. Looks like Darksiders 2 is going to be pretty good and I'd really like to see more of that in the future. :(

Layoffs at Relic? What the hell. They actually make GREAT games. THQ, WTF!?! It really sucks when the publisher's crappy decisions (u-draw, spending a metric fuck-ton of money marketing homefront) effect dudes that actually do great work.

If they're cutting their best studios, they're as good as dead.

Is Carey still on this team? Hope all is well. It's always unfortunate to see layoffs in this world.

QFT.

Seriously, they probably weren't working on a Homeworld follow-up but DAMN killing teams that make the good stuff. ;(

Oh well... there goes my most anticipated MMO... So I have to put my hopes in "The Secret World"... And we all know how this might end, judging by Funcom's track record so far...

I know :(

I heard from a couple of people (and Jeff) that GW2 wasn't as amazing as it looked, which Fing suuuuucks, because the only thing that will get me back into MMOs is something very different.

I don't actually think Secret World looks that great, I don't get why everyone thinks it does. Is there a video or something I missed?

Even so Age of Conan was my last Funcom game (I was so excited for that game, and it started great) but man they really let you down.

It's not so much the mechanics or the looks which keeps me interested in "The Secret World", but more the general setting. I am really a total sucker for all these Cthulhu and conspiracy stuff...

The emporer did not protect

I am kinda disappointed that they wont get the game they wanted to make but I supposed a third person shooter/rpg a la space marine is much better than no game at all.

The layoffs suck but that game sounds better to me now that it's not another MMO.

Thats a big let down. I was really looking forward to see where this project was going, but that won't happen. :/

Godamnit! Relic deserves better! So does Vigil! Sad sad news :(

They should make a sequel to Space Marine.

I would still absolutely play a non-MMO Vigil made Warhammer 40k action-RPG.

Yeah, that appeals to me more than an MMO to be honest. It could be a good thing in the long run?

As much as I'd love the idea of a 40K MMO, deep down part of me knows it would have a hard time finding a big enough player base to really work. a More focused Action RPG/Multiplayer game could be a good thing in the long run...s till it's very sad. I'm worried that the lay-offs at Vigil will affect the Darksider's franchise which I'd really love to see continue to grow.

Are there any women in the 40k universe? Or anyone whose life isn't, y'know, constant unending misery? Is there any domestic life? I dunno if the setting would have worked as an MMO anyway.

Honestly, I'll be more likely to pick this game up now that it's a single player focused affair with only a mild focus on multiplayer. I've never been big on MMOs anyway but I love the Warhammer games. Still, it's horrible news about Relic and Vigil. They are two of my favorite modern developers, Relic in particular.

So would I. I'm curious how action oriented was the combat actually going to be though? I hadn't heard that really expressed.

If it's done pretty well and there is RPG progression, I'm actually quite excited and probably more excited than for the MMO. Hopefully we still get multiple factions though.

This really fucking sucks! The only MMO I would even consider playing at this point was 40k DM... I'm so horribly disappointed! I was gonna be a Eldar Warlock... With a power sword and a pistol! Dammit!!!!

I'm curious how such a huge vast MMO world will handle just one player. Are they going to minimize the world? Make it open world like Fallout or Skyrim to handle just one player? Take out all the instances and raids? That's my biggest concern. How they are going to take an MMO quality landscape and make it into single player.

Wow.... I just saw this game on mmo-play.com and now that I'm reading up on it... That really sucks. Are they going to close the game or just cut content here and there? I don't understand!
