Oh wowee, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine for the 360
DrRockso | 11:43 PM on 09.04.2008 18 comments




Go check that video, then we can talk. Hopefully THQ hasnt taken it down yet.

From what's shown in the interview, its looking to play like an amalgamation of DMC and GoW. Which isnt a bad thing at all. And if that build is as early along as they kept repeating, than this is going to be phenomenal by final polish. My only complaint thus far, and its a minor one, is that in 40K, the bolters arent really a submachine gun. More of a auto grenade launcher, an instrument of the Emperor's divine wrath. But who knows, maybe they'll change that little bit.

So, fellow 40K fans. I know you played Fire Warrior. I know you play Dawn of War (unrelated by genre, but...). How is it looking to you?



EDIT: Apparently this game was shown at Leipzig, and for whatever reason, THQ / Games Workshop didnt want it shown. But its out now, and THQ has been taking down the video left and right.


Cats out of the bag now, sucker.

EDIT EDIT: Replacement video! Thanks, BWARK-KUPO.

Go to your blog-archives to edit it but make sure you click "Publish Live" or else it will be taken off the main page.

This looks like everything Fire Warrior should have been. My only complaints are that the bolter is far too wimpy and that there seems to be a hundred and one ways to stab a heretic in the chest, but I'm sure I would get tired of seeing that quickly. Perhaps if we could mix it up with some decapitation, a little dismemberment?

Is the video link now broken for anyone else?

@ Rifter

Yup, seems that THQ, after hitting YouTube, gave a swift smack-o to GameTrailers, also.

Video unavailable :-(

Still, sounds fun. I was a big fan of Fire Warriors when it was released. Was rough round the edges and a bit unbalanced, but it was a good laugh.

I managed to watch the video, seems pretty awesome will watch what happens to it.

So I found a replacement video.

Hmmm, could go either way this one.
That Bolter fires WAY too fast (and seems to have an endless clip that, at 3:30, he can reload with waggle ¬_¬), and the CineAction moments look to get very old very fast (speaking of old, Non-Interactive Cut Scenes)!

As they say, it's early in development - I do like that the guy is 7 foot tall. If they let you swap weapons, have slightly smarter enemies and more of a battle in the background, it could work out OK!

They are attacking this video online left and right...seems too tanky.

As an early tech demo build its lookin pretty good. Throw in four player co-op and a TON of enemies, lots more melee attacks and Chaos space marine vs Imperial Space marine Deathmatch in the final build and ill buy that for sure.

looks like unenjoyable shit with decent graphics to me.
