Hey guys i have been watching the YT vids of SM and had a couple questions.

1st Does any one have a more exact date on when it comes out ? (month)

2nd There is the trailer which everyone has seen which shows orks, and the gameplay firstlook: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1hXmMgvvSc that shows chaos, which will it be? (both?)

(i was dying of anticipation so i put this up, (if this is an annoying question))

No date has been confirmed.

And the Chaos version, the one I prefer, is an early alpha version of the game before Relic came along and took over. So they've put in Orks and so far as we know it's only Orks. I want my Chaos Marines and Traitor Guard with their l33t flying skillz!!!

OOOHH i'm soo looking forward to the game!

The chaos were so detailed though I hope they are in a sequel or something.

There have been multiple enemies in 40k video games before. Dawn of War had all four races pitching in.

True, which brings up another question: will you be able to play other things than a space marine? I won't get my hopes up because of the title.

From what we are told it will be Marines only. I'm hoping competitive multiplayer will allow additional races. All that we know is that you can play as different types of Marines i.e. Tactical, Assault, Devastator, etc.

I'm hoping for coop myself.

I've read that it will be coop. Will keep an eye out for source

I want a customizable dread or speeder

I'd hope for Co-op.

I also will be running a Devastator/Tactical marine, as I'm sick of the damn "Rofl Rofl Spehs Mehrens in CC 'gainst Orks and Chaos"

I'll also hope for multi-race multiplayer.

If the game will be released later for PC,I will see can it be modded if it can,I'll create a marine armed with heavy bolter and thunder hammer.

Here's the very first gameplay from months ago, even before the first trailer:

looks good! thank god it was an early build, the SM moves all clunky in that vid haha

If i remember correctly that was dropped and was rebuilt by another company.

No, that's the very first pre-alpha footage of Space Marine by Relic.

hmmm, I have to disagree. When I found the alpha footage waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in October 2008 it was on a Polish website and it mentioned the name of the developer and it was not relic. I cannot remember the name at the moment but that's due to my head being full of nothing but pure dookie. Relic had nothing to do with the original video iirc.

Wow, I didn't see that trailer until now. Is that an exterminis at the end?

Nah, just an orbital bombardment. Exterminatus would mean the end of all life.

Cheese Elemental wrote:No, that's the very first pre-alpha footage of Space Marine by Relic.

Incorrect, well, mostly. It is pre-alpha footage but not of the Relic game. Game was scrapped and then rebuilt by Relic using some of the stuff the original company did. Moved from a hack and slash to a squad based action rpg IIRC.

Really? Well, that's interesting. My mistake.

Could I see a source for that info though?

Do a search for the original thread this was in, it wasn't from Relic and then do a search for the thread where Relic unveiled their version.

I'd do it for you, but I'm lazy.
