Well, I'm stoked. I used to play the tabletop game and while Firewarrior as a massive disappointment...this looks FUCKING AWESOME.
Did they happen to mention a release date while you were up there? Our computers at GameStop had it streetdated for December of this year, but last week it looked like it was pushed back to December... of 2011.
Any word?

Fapfapfapfapfapfap. Even though I'm a little sick of playing as Space Marines in nearly every GW game (other than FireWarrior, which was underrated I thought), this still looks great to me.
The background music was a nice touch.

not a fan of the OTS (over the shoulder) viewpoint... but everything else looks good. Multiplayer will be the key. If it has that run and gun mentality combined with some fun (and brutal) melee then this might be a buy. I like my sci fi shooters! :)
Need more Dark Angels. Please Relic, even if you make other chapters DLC, make the first the Angels of Redemption. Cant wait for this, not a fan of DoW but I love Squad Command on PSP.
Hot damn I'm excited about this game.
It's great to see it in action too. I think they've got a bit more work to do (hopefully you really dont end up just standing still and shooting things all the time) but I have faith in Relic still.

I dont play the TT game but i fucking love 40k games, the universe and lore, its an amazing world and i cant wait to play as my favourite race properly, how it should be done, this game looks freaking amazing and ill be buying it on the day of release.
Man for early footage, it looks impressive. And i loved the background music. even if it should be out of place, it's hilariously appropriate.
Space marines have gotten such a bad reputation as of late... weird to actually see the phrase used in a game let alone the actual title. Still if it's a good game I'm still up for it.
Violence violence violence violence mushroom mushroom. Looks cool, although the shooting seems a little dull (I feel myself wishing Relic hadn't taken "a model may not move this turn if it fires a heavy weapon" so literally...). The melee could well make up for it, though. I'll have a peek if it comes out on PC, which it should.
I really hope this ends up being good. I'm still newish to the universe, but I was starting to get into it for a while there. If this is a rock solid game, that could be the final push. Hell, I can see myself eventually even playing the tabletop, which is the -first- time I've ever said that.

WH40K has the original space marines... well.. at least when it comes to anything -close- to gaming.

All I can think of when he's firing that mini-gun is a ding noise being made each time arm meets shoulder armour.
The game looks gorgeous, but you have to be concerned about repetition. Can't say I'm not interested though.
I dunno, sometimes, when the marine was holding still and just shooting things, it seemed a little too effortless, like he was in a light gun shooter or something. Yes, marines do generally hold still and blaze away at their targets when they're shooting, but there was something about this gameplay that didn't seem very dynamic. Maybe the guy was just playing on easy mode, I dunno.
Anyone got Too Human vibe from this vid?
I'm hyped for this. Orks, loot and Space Marines = nerd heaven.

What the hell...
I can't even hear what Sterling was saying, I'm too focused to the background music!

BURN THE HERETIC! KILL THE MUTANT!! PURGE THE UNCLEAN!!!
I cannot bloody wait for this. So violent. So epic. So awesome.

There's a vid on the xbox dash (probably on YouTube aswell) of an interview with a dev on the game and they said they didn't want the marines to be weak. Staying true to the lore of 40k these guys don't run or hide, that's why they are standing still surrounded by people whilst they slay. Its also why there isn't a patch of cover you can stick to for health regen/blind firing purposes.

I don't play the Tabletop game either, but I loved Dawn of War/II and hope Space Marine really captures the feel of the 40k universe. This video preview looks really promising -- Space Marines wouldn't hide behind cover, after all.
Now, I'll admit, one reason I'm hoping it takes off is the possibility of a later sequel, with four person co-op and maybe some other unit representation...but Space marine looks good, hope the game is fun and does good box office, so to speak.

I have sunk hundreds of dollars into the tabletop, it's fucking amazing, like the board game version of an RTS.
also i'm really cumming to this video as someone who knows the lore of Warhammer super religiously, let me tell you this is looking great.
now... if they get the story right and you fight tyranids, this will be my game of the century.
SUFFER NOT THE HERETIC TO LIVE

As a pretty big fan of the WH40K Universe (if not the sinking £hundreds into the tabletop game; been there, done that) it looks like something I'd actually take an interest.
My only concern is the actual firefight sequeces in the video seemed pretty dull. Yeah, Space Marines are Tough-as-Nails, Acid-Spitting [bet THAT won't be in the game :'( ], Kick-Ass machines, but if you can just stand there and soak up bullets then what's the point? There's bad-ass PCs, and then theres Incredibly easy, tedious shooters.
That and he's an Ultramarine. Ultramarines are dicks. FOR SANGUINIUS!

@Lichtonatus: I'm sure there will be much more to the game than what was shown there. That was a just a few minutes of what will no doubt be many hours of happy dance time xenophobic fun. Also, Sanguinius had angel wings and listened to Linkin Park in his spare time, Leman Russ would've kicked his ass:)

cool story bro.
game looks sick, have not been a fan of Warhammer since only a few years ago but love the DoW games on the PC.
Also, cocks.

Hm.
I'll have to think about this...
