Haha, that’s a very fitting description.
It doesn’t look too bad, though I don’t think the Bolter has enough ‘Umph’ when it hits anything in this video.

Don't forget Space Hulk for PSOne and Saturn. I think that was the first Warhammer 40K FPS, right?

I'm not sure how I feel about their dependence on the "cinem-action" moments. It feels like they pushing the player away from the experience by breaking up player input.

Also, the enemies looked like they had very little effect when they hit the player.

But, then again, this is an early build so who knows what will happen between now and the release.

Purge! Cleanse! BUURRRRNN!!

Someday, I want a game dev to hire an actual narrator. I can't stand listening to these dopey sounding designers and producers.

I assume he's an Ultramarine based on his blueish armor. When I think close combat I don't think Ultramarines though. Where's the love for the Blood Angels?

Yeah, those 5 second cutscenes are a bad idea.

A) they get old quick, even if there are "hundreds"

B) they break the flow of the combat

C) what if enemies shot at you while they are running? You turn immortal for a second?

I kind of like the idea of non-static "cinmaction" button cutscenes, as the static kind are really annoying.

Ever since I stopped obsessively bolstering my army of 40K minis years ago, I've been waiting for a game that would get me back into the 40K universe. I hope this is the game that does it.

Can't wait to orchestrate my own ballet of death.

Yeah, seems interesting enough, but it seems rather monochromatic, especially for a 40K game (Though it still has more color than about 3/4ths of games today). However, I'm not liking it much at the moment and I rather like 40K, just gives me an overall "Meh" feel. However I'm gonna give it a chance, just because. Hopefully all the little issues will be smoothed over (I shouldn't say stuff like that judging it when this is, of course, the first damn build).

Anyways, we need to calm the hell down on the Bolter. When I first started watching this, I was befuddled due to it sucking so bad while it's a universal symbol for Space Marine to me, even more so than the chainsword. However, upon obvious, further examination, it's quite obvious the devs have barely even pondered upon the effects. Barely a drop of blood from the sword and that "explosion", if you could call it that, sold that for me, and the Bolter being so damned wimpy also tipped me off (The firing sound is waaaay too light for a .75, and also sounds vaguely like the Lancer in Gears, and NO FRIGGIN' EXPLOSIONS. The Traitor Guards should be fucking RIPPED APART. Alas, the sacrifice of game mechanics.)

Another side issue for me; Seems a bit too much like GoW at the moment, which is ironic, considering the Cogs are rips off the Space marines, who had the oversized ugly badass look going on long before they did.

Anyways, sorry for the minor wall. Have a good motherfuckin' day.

(I also find it ironic I made an account and posted the first time on Dtoid for something as trivial as this after 1 and a half years of lurking and a T-Shirt I frequently wear.)

this is going to be extremely hit or miss. my hopes are high, but my reality check says that it's going to take a lot of work to make this enjoyable.

Way to steal news off of the cblogs :p

Here here for Gears of Warhammer!

Day 1 purchase for me (hopefully).
