Best Game Ever!

I was just thinking we need more games about space marines, preferably bald ones. Fighting Nazis.

Holy. Sh*t.

I just saw the video, and it is everything I wanted from a game based on Space Marines. Even from the early build of the game, they seem to have captured the atmosphere of WH40K.

Simply amazing to me.

You're right. Sounds like Lobster's got an appointment with the Inquisitor.

Err. am I the only one here that can't seem to access the linked site?

I cant seem to get on either. I want a squad based game based around an Inquisition warband. Where is that!??! Enough with the space marines. They could use buzzwords like "dynamic torture based dialoge".

Hmm link still doesn't work

I think they took down the video

Looks promising. Like most of you and other 40k fans, this is much closer to the game that I've been dying to play.

I'm a little worried about the cinemaction moments, though. They look cumbersome, and I hate it when games lock me into having to watch scripted animations. It's hard to tell without having the controller in-hand, but I'd want those moves to be faster to execute so they blend better with normal gameplay and movement.

I tried to get a look at the chapter badge on the marine's shoulder, but couldn't make it out very well. It looked like a skull with a scar down the right eye (same symbol seen throughout the video and is the health bar), which is not one of the standard chapters. It could be a placerholder, or it may be a new chapter all together.

I'm willing to give what I have seen so far in the video a huge amount of leeway. The game is probably in a pre-alpha state, with just enough tech developed to see how it plays. The developer commentary acknowledged the fact that currently there were only a few close combat actions in place, with the intention to add alot more. Who knows, there may be squad combat (ala Gears of War) in the game, just not in the video we saw.

I am desperately hoping for some multiplayer co-op action though. If they did implement that, the only way for me to get more excited for this game is to hear that it would be hooked directly up to the pleasure centers of my brain.

The more I think about it, the more I'm concerned that their obsession with those will ruin the game.

Also - as someone noted on YouTube - why do Bolters not matter? They're taking a decently warped view on the combat in 40k to pimp out their melee bells and whistles and it's a bit troubling.

Why can't we negotiate combat in a variety of ways? As a marine? As an assassin? As a scout? With 5 of our friends in a marine squad? With a plasma rifle?

Lots of opportunity here - I hope they don't eff it up.

Actually, using ranged weapons to get to melee combat sounds like the WH40K Space Marines to me. While the Assault Marines might have been specialists, all of the Space Marines were badass at hand-to-hand. Back when I used to play the tabletop game (years and years ago) you could wipe out tons of the other side just by getting into melee combat. Always great fun.

Kind of a bad demo though, it looks repetitive as hell. Also, too many damn buzzwords. If you are creating a good game you don't need to come up with stupid meaningless phrases like Cinemaction or Intimate Brutality.

Honestly, I thought Certis was kidding until I watched the video.

I think it looks pretty good in the early state. The combat definitely needs ore depth and I can see the "cinemactions" getting old after while.

The environment looks fantastic, and I love their codenames for every little thing

Good point. I was getting frustrated that the bolter didn't seem to do anything. I think they're heading in exactly the wrong direction. Everything about a Space Marine should be walking death.
