What? No one beats Kratos at his own game. Not even Spase Marienz! Hurr!
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Also, in an ironic twist on something you threatened to do previously, I'm going to make another promise.
If the package is not signed for, it will be returned to me. If it is returned to me, I will set out everything that is in the box of import and burn it. I will watch it go up in flames.
The video that I shoot of it will be posted to YouTube. I will email you a link, as well as post links to it in open forums.
Remember when you threatened me that, if I sent you anything, you'd burn it and send me a link to the video, Matthew? Well, this way, you'll get what you want (burned models), regardless - MagickalMemories

Actually watched it. Looks great except for the yellow circular explosion lol. Gonna love beating up the LatD. Maybe it heralds their return to tabletop!

Good Gork, that looks incredible. Assuming that hits PS3, I'll be picking a copy up. Would love to see a few more enemies show up in the game, like Nids and Orks. A fight to the death against a Warboss as a end-of-stage boss? Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

For me this is gonna lean very heavily on the creativity of the combat involved. If they just rip Nero out of DMC 4 and re-skin him I can't say it will be impressive.
Maybe I'll get excited if they talk about wargear options on the scale of termi armor, with all the trimmings.

Its clearly an early build so I'll keep all my negative comments to myself. I'll look at it again when it hits beta stage when a lot of other issues are ironed out.

If it is released on PC and you don't have to deal with those fiddly multi-button combo moves then I'll surely get it. Man, do I hate console games. When is all that neural interface research gonna pay off?
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Thats Awesome, pity about the Bolter though, it needs to be a mini-missile launcher, a but like in Fire Warrior, which I didnt think was too bad actually.
Sure, it went totally against the fluff - (Tau beating bezerkers in CC? What?) however it was an interesting look into the warhammer universe.
On topic: I cant wait for this game. No release date though - no info other than this trailer, which is interesting the Vaporware that normally (doesnt) come out of THQ.

While looks good. Those cinemaction moments are going to piss me off if I have to play the entire game looking at them. I realise there will be hundreds of varied ones by the release but I'm more of a fan of fluid gameplay rather then cut to cut scene of something cool happening then back to the game. In the Demo of The Force Unleashed they did very well to keep the gameplay fluid up until that God of War esque button match game for the AT-ST.
Is it really so difficult to just start a combo and watch it without putting in a mini cut?

By the 37 keys of Tzeentch,We open the way for our brothers,
By the 1000 whispers of Slaanesh we call to them,
By the 12 plagues of Nurgle we fell their enemies,
And by the mighty axe of Khorne we cut open the world for them!

Don't forget it's still pre-alpha. They just have the basics at the moment, and will be adding in the other stuff later. I am suprised to see footage of this before the 40K MMO, however, and I think that this looks very polished for a pre-alpha build.

Constant camera angle switching isn't a good thing in my book, even if its "cinematic." #d camera are hard enough to do well as is, that's just asking for trouble. Also Chaos just seems like the wrong choice from a fluff standpoint. I can see a lone "Movie Marine" chewing through tons of Orks, Nids, Tau etc. But he shouldn't be able to mow down hordes of Chaos Marines just because he has a chainsword. Definitely "wait and see" for me. Does look nice though.
