Most likely not, sorry.



Does anyone know how the Space Marine forum members get the demo early? Do they email you a code to use on the xbox marketplace? What time will it be out (GMT)?

The day early access is only for the PC demo, just like the week early access for steam preorderers. Sledgehammer (their forum master) said that they can't do a staggered release on xbox live/psn so no early access there.

Ah OK, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Also, for Honour Guard members, expect it at about ~12-2 PM CST today, you'll see a page on the space marine site for registering for early demo access at that time. That's 6pm-8pm GMT, for our friends across the pond.

Expect what? I just noticed I am an Honor Guard member (according to the nice medal symbol attached to my forum account on their website).

The demo is out now. It has been out for bout 3 or 4 hours now. If you go to the forums there is a topic in the General Discussion forum detailing how to get it now. It is only the PC version on Steam though.

Awesome, shortly after I posted, I checked the Video Game subforum and found a link there which gave me the code. Will be downloading it once I get home. And I have been a part of Steam the very first day they implemented it.

So, will there be any more info forthcoming on Multiplayer for this game?

Or...

is the demo up on Xbox Live today as well? if so does it cost any points to DL it?

The demo is up on Xbox Live right now and it is free. It is a singleplayer demo though, no multiplayer.

Dont care, that's my evening sorted.

Is the demo up on PSN also? If it is, I know what I'm doing as soon as I get home from work

First impressions on the demo anyone? I liked what I've played, but the graphics aren't amazing (I know the gameplay is what counts) I also noticed that some bodies just evaporated when killed, but I understand the graphical demand (for a console) when so many enemies are on screen!

Good so far, let's say I won't be cancelling my preorder!

The graphics are exceptional for how well it runs. It looks better than most modern FPS games but plays far smoother. Remember, it's not just quality that matters but composition. This game is interesting to look at, unlike most modern warfare style shooters. \

BF3 has high quality graphics but it's just boring to look at as everything's brown and grey.

Honor Guard = a registered member of the forum. They got early demo access.

I'm thinking that since there really never seems to be any information pertaining to the thread title in here, that this thread should get locked up...

Quite good so far. Love the Stalker Bolter. I wish I could run. But the combat feels good, the graphics are exceptional, and it is a nerdy dream come true.

You can run, it's shift.

Not on the 360!

Thanks.

Then there's a different button to push on the 360 to make you run. You'll know you're running becaus whenever you hit the strike/stun button you'll do a shoulder charge instead of attacking.

I'll find it, though. Thanks, Melissia.

Press the left stick when moving, you'll break into a sprint.

Thanks, Brook. Just like six other FPS' I've played!

Finished the first mission. Quite enjoyed it. The camera occasionally sucks, but I love the weapons, the weight of Titus, and the overall gameplay.

Has anyone any more info on the multiplayer for the final game?

Co-op Campaign? (preferably online but split screen coudl work as well)

Game modes? I'm thinking a capture the flag/king of the hill etc scenario could be cool, you could recreate the entrance video from DoW!!

Avatar levelling? Will continued play in multiplayer unlock further weapons/add ons/attachments like most FPSs do?

I don't know if anybody has a clue, but if I preorder from the UK THQ store, (which offers the activation code on the day of release, power sword, etc), will I be able to redeem the code on Steam in the UK? The way it's looking atm, with no demo for us, and no steam preorder, I'm worried I won't be able to redeem the game at all.

(Has anyone been able to preorder from the THQ store in the UK at all? Hearing rumours us brits can't get it here as well. This thing's turning into a real mess from our point of view)

All good questions!

Which we've been struggling to answer in 12 mostly of topic pages of discussion!

1) only 5 maps and two gametypes... a king of the hill and team deathmatch.

2) some kind of free coop DLC 30 days AFTER release, no details as to what.

3) see above

4) Yup. the various armor bits you use to customize your multiplayer model are gained through reaching various milestones in single and/or multiplayer.. finishing the story, certain number of kills, etc.

I knew there was only 2 gametypes, but 5 maps? That seems kinda stupid. I hope they don't plan on releasing a paid-for DLC map pack soon after.

I hope they release maps for free, and just charge for cosmetic stuff. Its much easier to keep everyone playing together as long as everyone has all the maps.

I never get to play the damn Reach maps they've added because they are never in the general playlist where everyone is.

i would like to see the map packs be free downloads......but i dont know how Relic have worked with DLC in the past.

As i've said before, i am hoping a for a VIP ticket type of thing like DICE do with Battlefield BC2. You pay a one off price for the code (i think it is about 800 xbox points) and from that point on the map packs are free.

It's for free if you bought the game brand new, and I know SM has this kind of 'Online Pass' because of the 30day DLC mentioned before.

Oh, well that could work out nicely then.

Looks acually pretty impressive, played demo on 360 and i liked it! Though the regaining health system is kinda annoying, im kinda used to the ol' health pack lol
