Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine <Boner Unlocked>

edited June 2010 in Games and Technology
Do you like Warhammer 40,000? Are you not so good/fond of RTS's?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnfniAbzYX8

Here's some Wiki info too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000:_Space_Marine

3rd person action-RPG? Yes please!

I saw a very very brief mention of this game on an XBOX E3 video, and looked it up immediately. I remember Firewarrior not being so good, but this game has a chance I think. I've been hoping for a Warhammer action shooter game for a long time.

So far it seems just Marines and Orks, but I'm hoping for Chaos Marines too.

Edit: For those so inclined, Warhammer 40,000 MMO

    Sweet.

    I do wish that they used a chapter other than the Ultramarines though. And I'm with you with hopes that it will be more than Space Marines v. Orks.

    As for the MMO, it's intriguing but in the end it's just another game I refuse to pat a monthly fee for.

    I'm surprised they're not using the Blood Ravens.

    I assumed they were the go to chapter for any WH40K games.

    The ultramarines were a generic demonstration choice. They won't be the chapter in the actual game.

    don't ultramarines generally deal with tyranids in their sector? i thought that was more of their thing, not so much orks

    Dudes we already have not one but two other Space Marine threads. Probably should have done a search before making this one.

    In the first trailer they released last year it pretty much looked like Dynasty Warriors. Jetpack Marine with a Thunder Hammer jumping into a huge mob of orks and just going to town.

    Last I heard of this, Relic wants it to be sorta like their other 3rd person shooter, The Outfit, but in the WH40K universe

    I think they've also said there would be other races, like the Eldar, and a multiplayer aspect

    Ultramarines are the prototypical marine chapter. They are as "vanilla" as space marines get. Fluff wise they have deviated from standard operating proceedure the least of all other chapters. Perfect demo fodder.

    If this game Is in any way character skill based I'm not interested. If it's totally player skill based I'm in.

    As long as you can put a chainsword or a power fist to an orks face, I'm happy.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    If only GW could find a developer who could do the same for Warhammer proper. 40k's done pretty well as far as video games go.

    I'd love to see an oldschool RPG with the Warhammer Fantasy rules.

    Well, maybe not the PnP rules exactly. They'd need to be tuned down if you ever wanted to finish the game in one piece (literally!).

    A tangent, but hell yes. That is the kind of game it really needs. Or a proper port of Total War. Something with stylized John Blanche/Ian Miller artwork, heavy on story and black humor, with a good streak of brutality, some survival horror, and some psychological terror bits going on. Also Nurglish sausages and halfling pies.

    More to the point; do we know which chapter(s) will actually be featured in this game?

    I believe the chapter is still unannounced.

    And yes, a well written and designed Warhammer Fantasy RPG would be amazing or an RTS if done right. Though I would also settle for a well done RPG based off of Dark Heresy, particularly if it had a nice variety of upgrades for Tech Priests.

    There were a couple of RTTactics for the PSone that weren't bad for Warhammer Fantasy. Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, and Warhammer: Dark Omen. They had some RP/Upgrade elements to them, but something more refined, even Dawn of War-like for WF would be awesome.

    The first trailer, if thats new is pretty dissapointing, they haven't shown barely anything they were showing off a long while ago, and then there was more gameplay/in game scenes in the trailers. Makes me wonder if they had to take a few steps back.

    After that note, I can't fucking wait for either of these games. Gears of warhammer with weapon stats, I am calling it now. In fact we should go mod the original GoW....

    I wish there was some more info here. This could be really promising, but the trailer might as well be clips from Dawn of War 2--it doesn't really give you any idea what gameplay is like. The wiki's incredibly sparse too.

    It sounds like they're going for the kind of game Warcraft 3 was originally supposed to be. A persistent squad controlled with a "real-time tactics" interface, with some light RPG elements and character customization? If it turns out to be this kind of thing, and it's done even passably well, you can probaby sign me up.

    Yeah, I played the shit out of those, especially the first. Tone was still a bit off, but they were fun games on their own. Hard as hell in spots.

    I'm not sure what to expect of Space Marine. Except that, judging by the trailers, it should have me wanting to shout "For the Emperor" and seeking revenge with my tabletop ork army on a regular basis.
