Well i was surfing the inter-web the other day and came upon this-

http://www.spacemarine.com/#/en/trailers/

Im personally having mixed feelings for this game. To me it looks like a Gears of War where the bugs are Orks and with bigger chainsaws. None the less I'll probably still buy it (because its got spess mahrines), but i wanted to know what the audience had to say about this GOW Remix.

You're a touch late...
It isn't like Gears at all from what the Devs say, and from what a few others say.

Well darn. Sorry for the repost everyone.

No worries...
I'll probably get it because it has SM in too...
At any rate i hope it isn't just a Gears clone with shiny bits on.

Might be just a 1 time play through rental or better yet 2nd hand game.

I just never find games without multiplayer and being hack and slash to have lasting power / replay :(

I definatly want to play it, and im glad its on PC, so i can pick it up through steam on sale one day.

It'll be interesting if they have multiplayer in it...

If it has this..

Then it would make the game 10x better to me just due to multiplayer.

Multiplayer info will be out at E3.

Gameplay is not like GoW, probably more like Red-Faction/Halo(but in 3rd person) with more melee.

Multiplayer would be BOSS. Nobz v. Space Marines? Thats straight up Epic.

I want a tank...
More to the point i want a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!

Ha, I'd take one of those i suppose. But is it full of IG?

No. Only more CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS.

Whoever has that image, post it. You know the one.

My God, its full of CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

amiright

Captain Godfrey wrote:Ha, I'd take one of those i suppose. But is it full of IG?

It's full of whatever you want it to be...
That does include even more CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTs

I'd imagine the storyline would go something along the line of a group of elite space marines sweeping in on a ork horde in their CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS and finding Chaos influence. Of course they obviously BLAME THE VICTIM planet for dressing so sexy.

Eventually, they discover it wasn't Chaos or Orks, but DINOSAURS EATING COCONUTS.

Something like that yeah...
Though from what i have seen there is a part where you control a turret in a flying Thunderhawk...

Thats pretty sick, because if you cant kill it with a bolter, THUNDERHAWK it.

Well i'm pretty sure you spend your time shooting down Ork fightas...

The Game-play is not going to be like Gears of war. It looks similar asthetically speaking, but it's not. In Gears of War, you take cover when being shot at. When you are a Space Marine, you ARE cover.

Yeah the no cover system is a nice touch... kinda...
I mean most games don't have one but purposely not having one seems like more of an effort than just missing it on your ideas board.

Most FPS games these days have a cover system. Even if it breaks the flow of combat, like it does in bulletstorm, which would have been so much better if they used the old style of health packs instead of health regen and cover, which broke the pace of the game too much.

As an aside, I hope that, at the climax, the Chaos dude gets torn in half by the Ork warlord in a twist ending (oh, you were forgetting about him? well BAM Ork in your face!) and you fight HIM as your final boss, not a whinyboy marine or daemon.

I would like that...

I hope this game doesn't have COD/Halo-styled regenerating health it works good in FPS's where its hard to dodge bullets, but it works badly in action games (Brutal Legend comes to mind, although I love the game the

strategy elements and regenerating health makes the action worse).

Cover based FPS games are still an exception for now. Cover based third person games on the other hand are pretty much standard. Cover systems for FPS games exist in what? The afore mentioned bullet storm and the rainbow six games?

There is virtually nothing on the game out for real info. No one could really have a realistic opinion beyond what the first gameplay trailer looks like.

It's gameplay looks a bit like God of War with third-person shooter elements mixed in (which would be awesome).

Ya know i wouldn't mind at all if it was a mix between the two. Although cover seems pointless when you have pauldrons the size of texas.

What world are you posting from? Certainly not Earth.

All of the most popular FPS games these days use a cover and regeneration system. CoD uses it, MoH uses it, BF uses it, Homefront uses it, CS:S uses it minus the regeneration (cover is vitally important to survive in CS:S), Bulletstorm, Crysis, etc.

In fact, out of the most popular FPS games, the only one that I can think of that really doesn't use a cover-based system is TF2. Quake, Unreal, and etc also do, but they're a dying breed these days. Hell even Duke Nukem is switching to health regen and cover based shooting.

Those are not cover based shooters.

Those are shooters with objects that bullets don't go through. Cover is when, like in Rainbow Six, there is interface for putting your back to a wall/crouching next to a wall and shooting out from it.

Most games do indeed use some sort of regeneration system.

Yes they are. Just because they don't have a button specifically for hiding behind cover and instead force you to hide behind cover manually doesn't mean that they're not cover-based.

The hell is a "non" cover based shooter if the only thing that makes it cover based is the presence of terrain? The cover mechanic is a programmed game mechanic wherein a player interacts specially and in a designed fashion with cover. The presence of a fething box does not make a game cover based. No first person shooter has ever not had terrain.
