Avantgarde, LOL very well done.

Anyone else think the Marine leader without the helmet looks like UFC Vet Randy Coture?

Unless they do this for the PC I wont be playing.

Last part on page 2 it says
"Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is due out for PS3 and Xbox 360. There's no release date yet, but THQ told us "not this year".

Awesome news!

Thanks for the update - I was impatient, most gaming sites are blocked for me at work, and I really wanted to know...

And now I do!

Oh dear, the new video has made me need to change my pants.



Amazing, i hope there is Multiplayer versus

I was able to find an atricle that states "multiplayer" will be an important part of the game.

Sadly, they still don't know if that means co-op or vs.!

E3 soon, then all will be revealed.

Got a link Alpharius, i'm not saying i don't trust you i'm just saying the 20th legion tends to be a bit sneaky.

Noticed that the Warboss is the same warboss from DOW II. Definitely a relic product.

Sheesh!

Omegon's the sneaky one, not me!

So we have to play as Ultrasmurfs? Funny, considering the Blood Ravens are Relic's flagship chapter.

Wow
This looks amazing
Thunder hammers being epic and explodey, power weapons being killy, jump packs being kick ass. Even though its Ultrasmurfs it looks increadable and if there is an army painter I am sold.
Really want Eldar to be in there as well. For the whole ballet of death thing

Ozy - yeah I've seen the newest videos. Don't get me wrong; I'm not trolling for the sake of it. I have beef with every modern console shooter.

IMO the most original game of the last [forever] has been Mirror's Edge. This looks unfortunately very samey samey.

I'll probably buy it, but I imagine (like every other 360 game) it'll be sludgy, progressive bashy bash until a boss encounter. Grind through that process for several hours and there you are. Game complete.

See; GoW, Too Human, Circle of Doom, blah blah.

Sorry guys, I guess I'm just being a hater.

I would love to have an option to choose any Chapter of the character.

Well, I would love to have a 360 too. Too bad I just have my PC and a PSP. Squad Command... more smurfs.

@ Tek

My guess is you'll be happier with something like Global Agenda, which is due out soon.

Back on point, yes I do agree with Tek. This is likely to be another "seen it all before" game that rides off the GW Fluff theme....people will buy it becuase it says Space Marine....

On the flip side, I wonder what can be done to improve this genre? I mean, forget the console game, how diverse is the actual tabletop wargame? Surely, its going to be no more or less "repetitive" than the game its based on.

I agree we should show the industry that we are looking for a more fulfilling gaming experience, but its no use batting things like this around the head, I think its all that it can be.....if it were anything else, it wouldn't be WH40K and it certainly wouldn't be Space Marines

Hmm... As long as it's better then DoW2...

A rather daft remark seeing as this game and DoW 2 are two completely different beasts.

that would be beyond awesome!

gak the bed WH40k Lego would be awesome! Someone email Traveller's Tales!!

Anyone know when this game is set? With all the HH stuff lately, I'd have loved to see the more ornate armour of that era. Plus it'd rule to play the Emperor

One thing that would make this game better is if they replaced SMs with pretty much ANYTHING else. SMs make me feel like I've already played this game a hundred times. It just doesn't look new.

Hm the controls looked really bad in the youtube video but I guess that's the super early build.

The trailer makes it look very nice, too bad it's for the Xbox (which means there's almost no way I'm going to get it, unfortunately).

PC please.

Oh and I don't get the point of pausing the action with "finishing moves" type stuff, I think I'd prefer it if it didn't pause that way.

Doesnt really look fun.

The youtube vid is an early alpha build that got dismantled and cannibalised by Relic for the purpose of the new game. We don't know if those ridiculous pause breaks in combat are still there..

Let's overreact the hell out of this stuff!

I also heard that your marine would lose his legs and get wheels instead, every time he runs over an enemy he'll go "VROOM! VROOM!" and his backpack exhaust make funny skull shaped clouds.

I was going off of the basis that in DoW2 you expected DoW, but... Better. It was nothing even like it. It was a completely different game that just happened to have to "same" name. No multiplayer maps; nothing. It was more of an RPG.

-J.

I just heard from a really reliable source that I can't reveal that there will be space marines in this game!!2

if you thought the you tube was bad and were too lazy to do a google search to find something/anything better. I am here to save your sorry pathetic asses.

try this HD trailer.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, don't think so, but it's been mentioned that it's release is xbox360 and PS.. NO PC though..

Official press statement on the Relic site clearly states X360 and PS3 only.

not pc?

bunch of gits

For reference since people are still talking about it...

This is not the game previously leaked onto youtube. This is a different developer using none of the previous game assets to create a game that plays totally differently from the previous build. The higher ups were unimpressed with what had been produced and essentially cut the previous project off at the knees and gave it to a more trusted developer.


There are no "Cinemaction" moments in this game if the press and interviews are to be believed. This is totally new.

Shum, it's been said and stated several times before, but around here people just seem to ignore those things and ask again in a tad.
