Warhammer 40k Space Marine

NewSith · 2011-08-14, 03:29 PM

Step into the armor of a relentless Space Marine and use a combination of lethal and deadly weapons to crush overwhelming alien forces. Immerse yourself in an intense and brutally violent world based on the richest science fiction fantasy ever created.

In Warhammer® 40,000® Space Marine® you are Captain Titus, a Space Marine of the Ultramarines chapter and a seasoned veteran of countless battles.

A millions-strong Ork horde has invaded an Imperial Forge World, one of the planet-sized factories where the war machines for humanity’s never ending battle for survival are created. Losing this planet is not an option, but a darker and far more evil threat is lurking large in the shadows of this world.

With an Imperial liberation fleet en-route, the Ultramarines are sent in to hold key locations until reinforcements arrive. Captain Titus and a squad of Ultramarine veterans use bolter and chainsword to take the fight to the enemies of mankind.

Key features:

Storm Into Battle – Step fearlessly into the heart of combat as an unstoppable Space Marine. Never hide, never cower, just purge all that stand in your way.
Unleash Visible Violent Death – Using an innovative new combat system, switch seamlessly from high-caliber ranged weapons to devastating close-combat strikes. Taking out an enemy has never been so satisfying.
Experience the dark future of Warhammer 40,000 – Jump into a rich universe of awe-inspiring landscapes, deadly enemies, immense battles and ruthless annihilation.
Take the Battle Online – Form your own Space Marine squad or Chaos Space Marine warband and face off in 8 vs 8 online matches. Gain experience and unlock new weapons and armor to customize the Devastator, Assault, and Tactical Marine classes.

Official Release Date: September 6th 2011

As a WH40k fan I'm definitely buying it, (already pre-ordered 2 months ago), so I was wondering if anyone else is going to buy the game. Both coop and multiplayer look cool, it's rare to see a good hack'n'slash (with guns) these days.

I'll be picking this up. Sounds interesting, if they get it right with the whole mix of close quaters/ranged gameplay then the multiplayer should be sweet.

I can't tell. Is it an FPS or RTS?

Its an action game, its not an RTS.

I'm guessing its FPS/ThirdPS.

After that head to the closest zoo and fight vile hideous beasts of the Maw. Especially penguins.

And finally, you should travel to the Eye of Terror and defeat the Dark William of the Gates. He rests in his Valley of Silicon.

After the quest is complete, return for a reward.

Liking the Dynasty Warriors feel to this.

Though I'm still waiting for the right 40k game that really captures the dark gory and wartorn universe it is.

Just played the demo. Really fun. Think, Gears of War.

GoW is yet > WH40k:SM. I mean it's the thrid time I see a good title released totally raw! Crysis 2, F3AR, WHSM... "More moneyz, Less working" is a bad concept.

P.S.
YOU HEAR ME PS2 DEVS?!!!!!
"More moneyz, Less working" is a bad concept!!!

Do not release the game in the raw state. Damn it, don't even release the beta before you go over it yourselves few more times after you think it's ready!

It is indeed pretty sweet. I was fine with the single player but just trying multiplayer was crazy fun the first game.

NewSith · 2011-09-11, 04:43 AM

To make it clear - most of my concern are regarding MP.

Singleplayer is awesome...

I was actually impressed by the fact that randomly slashing away leaves you the floor quipping about the Emperor of Mankind. You have to think about each thrust and choosing when to execute and when to get out of Dodge.

Hoping co-op in October brings new missions for more gameplay fun

singleplayer was epic
