>40K is just an elaborate reference to everything cool in sci-fi in the 80s
Then what would its equivalent be for the 90s? Independence Day aliens fighting Matrix rip offs?
>>48134390
what the fuck are you talking about
>>48134390
Go look up 90's batman comics.
That is it. You have edge, gadgets and every magic device had a pseudo science brick of text attached to it.
>>48134390
There is no 90s equivalent.
Key phrase:
>everything cool
>>48134390
>40K is just an elaborate reference to everything cool in sci-fi in the 80s
You mean it's a cheap parody made by lazy writers. It's less an "elaborate reference" and more of just Dune mixed with their weak fantasy universe combined with Starship Troopers.
That's it. That's the entire formula.

Sprinkled with stuff from other Sci-Fi worlds and pop culture franchises
>Obi-Wan Sherlock Clousseau

>>48134390
>Independence Day aliens fighting Matrix rip offs
Aliens invade, only to be driven off by our global computing infrastructure acting independently. In the seconds between the aliens opening fire and the human chain of command ordering a counterattack, the internet itself uploads instructions for building nanoassemblers, then hijacks the results to create a robot army.

>Independence Day aliens fighting Matrix rip offs?
That's more or less the plot of Saints Row 4.
>>48134390
Cthulhutech
>>48135009
It's even complete shit, just like 40k!
>>48135062
See? A perfect fit.

ID4 Aliens invade but are countered by the T1000s deployed by the Skynet Matrix to defend it's pod-people farms. Meanwhile, the Men in Black lead the human resistance from Zion under the guidance of Agents J Orpheus and Keanu Lee Jones. The MiBs fight both sides using technology provided by off world allies they met using the Star Gate.
Setting was pretty balanced until 3rd edition introduced the the genetically engineered super men from the GATACA colony riding Jurassic Park Dinosaur clones. Even the Raptor Rebellion Codex couldn't clean up that mess.
>>48134390
Nothing. 90s sci-fi sucked.
Shadowrun.
>>48134390
Mage: the Ascension.
>>48135966
Hell, I'd play it.
A lot of the books, specifically guard related stuff has a lot of 90s cheese influence.
>>48134734
That's like, 50s sci fi nigga
>>48134390
The real question is, what's the elaborate reference to everything cool (and edgy) now?
>Fooking Game of Thrones
>Dark Souls/Bloodbourne
>Kingdom Death: Monster
>Darkest Dungeon
>Kill Six Billion Demons
>>48140970
It would be an elaborate political drama based on Indian mythology/Cosmology as well as Cthulu influences.
>>48141006
That actually sounds like it would make for a really cool game.
Are there any miniatures wargames out that feature Indian mythology?
>>48140970
What about game of thrones is "cool" It's normie trash
>>48141030
>What about game of thrones is "cool" It's normie trash
You realize this is what "cool" in pop culture is, yes? Shit the normies like?
>>48141030
The Red Wedding was handled better in the show than in the book, I think. But yeah, I get where you are coming from. Nothing against lesbians, but the whole Game of Dykes they have going on in the show right now is getting on my nerves desu.
>>48140970
>game of thrones
its a 20 year old book m8. and martin admitted he blatantly rewrote stories about the war of the roses.
>Dark Souls/bloodbourne/demon souls
Berserk
>Darkest Dungeon
Dark Souls

oWoD
>>48141079

>>48134390

Are you serious? You have a whole army of terminators in 40k
>>48141174
Yeah you're RIGHT OP I DON'T REMEMBER ANY BATTLETOADS OR JEFF GOLDBLUMS IN 40K!
OP IS A PHONY!!
>>48141174
I don't strictly agree with OP's statement, but there is a LOT of stuff that are references, plagiarized, or coincidental.
Some of your list is pretty fucking obvious though, man.
>Blade Runner
Like... Every Hive ever.
>The Terminator
Necrons.
>>48141238
and the thing is chaos spawns
>>48141174
>Flash Gordon
Ciaphus Cain HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!
>Videodrome
Those creepy bio-fucks in the Adeptus Mechanicus
>The Thing
Gene-stealers (while mostly Xenomorphs) have shades of the Thing when dealing with the whole "is he a person or a genestealer copy?)
>Enemy Mine
COME ON MAN, ANYTIME A SPACE MARINE HAS TO WORK WITH AN ELDAR
>Robocop
Combat Servitors
>The Terminator
Oldcrons
>>48134390
World of Darkness/Unknown Armies
>>48141329

>King of the impossible!
>He's for every one of us!
>Stand for every one of us!
>He'll save with a mighty hand every man, every woman every child, with a mighty flash!
Queen must make the soundtrack to the Ciaphus Cain movie we will never be graced with.
Also, Robocop is actually Adeptus Arbites with robo-parts optional.
>>48141069
Dark souls only took a small amount of its concept from Berserk.
>>48141028
Malifaux with the new Sikh master
>>48143539
Yeah, Dragon's Dogma is much more direct on that front. Hell, you can even get Guts' gear for fucks sake.
>>48136200
>Early Shadowrun
>Not 80s
Cyberpunk is a decidedly 80s genre you buffoon
>>48141006
That IS Kill Six Billion Demons.
>>48141089
Dude, I say this wholeheartedly, Fuck you.
It would 100% be oWoD. We're you even alive in the 90s? They were terrible.
>>48141475
Freddy Mercury is dead.
>>48136165
TNG. DS9.
>>48144200
Babylon 5. Stargate.

The '90-s were AMAZING, and you are an ass.
