It would seem that this game is grinding it's way closer! Found this on the OXM website - http://forums.oxm.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=10622 and there is an interview on live for those of you that have access to that. Nothing majorly earth shattering in either piece, however when the guy from THQ was asked if the Tyranids would be making an appearence he stated anything's possible", take from that what you will!

Hope this hasn't been posted before, did check but couldn't find anything.

**Melissia**

I hope not. I want the Orks to be the primary threat-- When THQ takes Orks seriously, they make awesome.

**Kryppers**

I just wish they'd stop getting THQ to make 40k games.

Was there something wrong with Dawn of War I/II that should require their overthrow? Of course this is ignoring that Relic is making the game, THQ is just the publisher.

**RogueMarket**

Blizzard, but they make already a better 40k game - called starcraft 2.. =(

(haha)

Ha! Good one!

Um yeah, we heard that one already!

I'm still waiting for the next trailer though - can't wait for this one, actually!

The chance to "Movie Marine" it up, gunning down Orks and hopefully everything else, from Tyranids, to Traitor Marines and Guardsmen to Possessed Sisters of Battle!

**RogueMarket**

All in all seriousness - The Space Marine game looks promising.

@ Alpha - YAH! I wanna gun down every enemy of the imperium, maybne even burninate action.

I can't help to keep thinking though - that space marine with thunderhammer is moving ... quite damn fast in the trailer haha. Oh well its hammer time~

**Alpharius**

Marines ARE that fast, or close.

Terminators may be on the lumbering side of things, but PA Marines aren't!

THQ only publishes, they don't develop. Relic develops all the 40k games. Even then, what's your complaint with them? They've all been incredible.

**BrookM**

Agreed, Relic and GW are BFF for life thanks to Dawn of War and soon, Space Marine the Game with Space Marines.

**Blitza da warboy**

wait, if this game is in the x-box magazine does that mean its not coming out for the ps3? I hope not cause mine is dead....

**BrookM**

No, it's coming out for PC, 360 and PS3.

**Blitza da warboy**

@BrookM: yaaay thanks!

Someone should tell Relic that GW is cheating on them with Vigil.

Relic and Vigil are both owned by THQ, soooo....

What is this, a self-contradictory sentence?

But anyway, THQ has published a lot of good games. Pretty much all the best strategy games in the market are done by companies under THQ.

Better than EA at any rate.

...then Relic and Vigil are brothers and they should take GW to Jerry Springer when the squig hits the fan.

I hope its co-op on console split screen or ill just buy it on PC

The game is made for co-op, and 4-player co-op was one of it's original selling points. I wouldn't see that changing.
Also, three hyphens in one sentence. Feels good man.

read the comments!

**DEATH89**

I can't wait for this, but while I do wait it gives me a chance to gather up funds for Transformers: War for Cybertron and oh yes MORE MARINES

Sorry mad moment there...

I have WFC and while I enjoy it the multi gets stagnate after a while but the campaign was top notch. Save your money and simply rent it =/ but you might get more out of it than I.

**daedalus-templarius**

maybe I'll try and pick up the issue today.

**Alpharius**

Issue?

Huh?

Anyway, is there a release date yet?

**twistinthunder**

he's talking about the OXM issue in which space marine is featured.

**Alpharius**

Ah - thanks!

So, is there a release date in the article/interview, or a vague "Q4/Q12011" blurb?

**Kanluwen**

Vague Q1 2011 release date.

You're better off asking THQInsider, who actually posts right here on Dakka, for that stuff than the constant "I SAWS IT IN A MAGAZINE!" people.

**daedalus-templarius**

Was the article any good? Should I pick up the mag or just go read it in Borders?
