I did a search to see if anything has been posted about this already. However, I came up with nothing.


It appears that Relic (dawn of war, Dawn of WarII) has gotten a hold of the rights to make to make a third person shooter that takes place in our beloved universe. I for one, can't wait and for a variety of reasons.

First off, it appears that Relic has placed their Blood Raven chapter on the back burner for now. This game will be staring non other than the Ultra Marines! (hey, Im reading the Ultra-Marine Omnibus atm, so im absolutely thrilled about playing them) Needless to say, It might not exactly be everyone's favorite chapter but this might prove to be a more fluffy adventure because of it.

Speaking of fluffy, I think the video really hits the nail on its head in terms of proper per portion. I'm glad to see the Space Marines being properly protraying the sheer might of a single Space Marine, just look at how many orks hes taking on at once!

Im really glad Relic has gotten a hold of this contract, granted their RTS games havent always been the most balanced. its significantly harder to screw up a single player game! Plus, their art direction does Warhammer universes in general, justice. unlike other companies (cough, mythic, cough)

what do you think about this game?


'

I think it looks like garbage.

But then again, I'd rather be playing a Ghost Recon styled game featuring Kasrkin or Inquisitorial Stormtroopers/Guard Veterans on covert ops.

And lol @ Mythic not doing Warhammer 40k justice.

Did I suddenly miss a 40k game done by Mythic?

It's only PS3 and 360 - unless it comes out for Wii/PC/PSP I'll be giving it a miss, it looks OK, but it's not a 'killer app' that would sell me on a new console.

haha, i meant warhammer fb.

looks like garbarge? each to his/ her own i guess.

@Kanluwen

I totally agree, I'd rather it be on the pc, but luckily I have a 360 hooked into my monitor thats been gathering dust, cant wait to use it again

The orks look like zombies.... I'll probably get it for my 360 but it doesn't look like anything special.

Why did a sideways bash at Mythic need to be in a thread that has nothing to do with Relic or Space Marine?

Whether or not they did it justice is really a matter of opinion, there are a lot of Warhammer people who enjoyed what Mythic has done but like any game, it isn't going to be to everyone's taste which is not that same as making a bad product.

I swear if they do NOT have RELIABLE ranged combat, I'm gonna smack some ones 'ead open.

Comon Ladz! Everyone Knows Orks iz Best Fer Krumpin!

It's just the trailer... why do you torment us with animation and no gameplay?

There's a few snippets of gameplay in there. Specifically, when you see that marine jump onto the bridge into a horde of Orks.

Yes, that is actual gameplay graphics.

The trailer just looks like recycled bits of DOW cinematics but I saw an extensive video of in production gameplay a while back and literally crapped my pants!!!

check it out!

This is way older than the trailer in the OP. They've changed the game almost completely then, and the new trailer actually features a ton of gameplay...

This is old pre-alpha material that has been scrapped.
