Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine?

This slipped under the radar didn't it? I've not seen any mention of it. Heck, I don't even recall it being announced and there's a gameplay video.

It looks okay - though those stupid animatics sequences during finishing combos better be optional.

Ok, I think that looks sick. I'm sick of every Warhammer game being an RTS. This looks to be right up my alley. Hopefully they release it for the PS3. I'd love to play it.

I'm horrified by this :|

They butchered the fluff enough with dow but seriously it's a whole new level :| That aside the game just looks crap.

Why is it so slow? One of the specific enhancements of space marines is that they're power armor makes them faster. They were portraying him like some hulking brute or something :|

WTFS up with the bolter?! Why burst shots? And if burst shots why not the 3 rounds that bolters are supposed to do? And why are the rounds not explosive? Bolters standard ammunition is explosive rounds :| It's just a regular ass machine gun in the game....

The kill scenes were way to over-used, but I'm gonna throw that down to the beta.

Why is everything so dark? They're taking the "dark grim future" too far :| Even if the lights are out there should be a ton of candles and incense burners....

Overall the game just looks like crap, the combat doesn't look fluid at all, it should be brutal fast paced melee, this is crap :|

Warhammer 40k's best feature was the overblown animations. Nothing beats watching a guy use a chainsaw bayonet. Unless of course, you're using one yourself.

To be fair, there's plenty of fluff to backup that bolters can do full auto if required.

Less so that guardsman can take multiple shots from what is basically an assault RPG launcher and just be "stunned".

Given the Marine wakes up lost at the start, would it be so hard for him to at least have lost his bolter and picked up something useless, like a laspistol?
