New Warhammer 40k: Space Marine dev diary!

I love 40k so I know I'm going to love this. Here's some screenshots (old but still so awesome). Did I mention it's made by Relic? And is on consoles to? :D

also there are traitor guardsmen in the game

Warriors of the emperor

lifeforms have been detected

the hivemind has blinded our sensors

the fire of anger burns within us

begin the litanies of hatred

Except Space Marines are closer to 9 feet tall.. Have 2 hearts, 3 lungs.. Super human strength and speed.. Where their very basic weaponry consists of massive rifles that will tear a regular person a part.. They are closer to holy paladins in faith and believe in glory.. In a universe where the Imperium of man is collapsing around them by terrors on all sides.. Yep generic.

" They shall be my finest warriors,
these men who give of themselves to me.
Like clay I shall mould them,
and in the furnace of war forge them.
They will be of iron will and steely muscle.
In great armour shall I clad them
and with the mightiest guns will they be armed.
They will be untouched by plague or disease,
no sickness will blight them.
They will have tactics,
strategies and machines
so that no foe can beat them in battle.
They are my bulwark against the Terror.
They are the Defenders of Humanity.
They are my Space Marines ...

... and they shall know no fear. "

DoW is fragging incredible, especially DoW 2 IMO.

So ... wow! Looks epic. WH40k has the potential (as a 'world') to be the best of the best. I mean, orcs + guns? come on

Can't wait for this game.

Read the novels.. It is probably the largest universe out there in scope.. Where "big epic" things happen in certain novels and they can have absolutely no affect on other novels due to taking place halfway across the galaxy..

Relic are some of the most talented developers out there. This is the real deal folks :)

That and the fact the imperium acts much like the Roman Empire in which sectors are ruled by certain people.. It isn't like a typical country government where there is a federal government that every one listens to.. Each sector has their own branch of inquitors, chatpers etc etc that are autonomous from the rest the majority of the time.. The only time when you see a concerted effort is with Crusades or when a really huge threat occurs (13th Black Crusade the opening of the Eye of Terror, the invasion of Tyranids..)..

I find the name "Space Marines" hilariously generic. :P

Looks freaking awesome, but I hope it doesn't suffer from the repitition, like DOW2s campaign.

i am also a 40k fan; dawn of war, etc. but this game looks questionable at best, I hope it turns out to be great but it looks boring to play to be honest.

Orc invasion with some sinister force in the background. Isnt that the same story for all these games? Iantheone

Not really! At least it wasn't for DOW 2 from what I remember.

This game looks like a blatant crossover ripoff of Starcraft and Warcraft.

Warhammer was out before both of them... lol. Infact, Starcraft copied Warhammer.

Are there going to be war machines like deff-dreads? Haven't seen any vehicles (except the airfight theme) from all the videos. Cannot wait for the game! I'm sort of worried about its close fighting style being repetitive though, since we've seen the overshoulder slashs for almost every single (dev) video.

I wanna mount a thunderwolf :P Hope the game is modding friendly so on pc we may get community mods featuring these.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"]I really don't think this game will be any good. But it would be cool if it was. Not many action games with this sort of setting.AncientDozer

There's orcs in it, bro. Totally different.

[spoiler] Anyway, you know what I mean. This sort of sci-fi setting is always in straight TPS, and even then it's just Killzone-style grimy future. This is more fantasy-like. [/spoiler]

Didn't blizzard want to make a warhammer PC game, get rejected by GW and go on to make Warcraft?

I thought I read that somewhere.

Point is, warhammer predates warcraft.

Yes, it wasn't so dark and gritty. It was rather colourfully eerie. Anyway, do you think there could be any Genestealers (Tyranids)?

Eww sku, are you seriously hyping this horrible Gears rip off? :|

I have no idea, though you are able to customize your marine (weaponry not chapter).

It was supposed to be a team based-game, right? With RPG elements, customizable loadouts, selectable characters, leveling up and whatnot, right? I hope they didn't streamline it completely to Gears of War complexity. Not that GoW is bad by any means, we just need something different, not a repeat of it.

Yeah it's supposed to be, not sure about the selectable characters though, but you can customize your own marine.. like give him jump jets and stuff.

I've learned from this thread that a lot of people don't know what a ripoff is.

i love it, will be getting it day one

Not sure why this game gets a pass . It looks terrible.
