    Thumbs up Space Marine

    Demo is out, game is launching next week.

    Walk through of the demo here:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb50aAFiOpM

    Actually plays more like the books then the table top ie Marines wade through Orks but have a hard time against Nobs.

    Looks awesome, I will have to find a parrallel universe where I have both the time and the money to play this.

    PS Sorry if this is a thread double up. Didn't see anything immediately here.

    Looks better than what I thought it would, being honest. Though the voice guy seemed to have movement issues.

    So that's what it looks like. I dl'ed it but the graphics were wonky. I only gave it a few minutes, but I didn't even know about the different weapons or have any clue about the executions or fury. Maybe I'll mess around with the settings again to see if I can get it right...

    Demo was hella sweet but I've just got too many games right now. I'll wait until it's on sale, especially since THQ always does great Steam sales.

    I wish I could be more shooty than stabby, but I guess that's not really the point of a spessss mehreeen

    Not only that, but they probably did it to put as much distance from the last 40k fps to be released. Fire warrior was abysmal in absolutely every way imaginable, but its story was pretty cool.

    I played the demo and found it pretty amazing, demos rarely floor you with quality but the Space Marine demo did just that. It is wholly refreshing to see an adaptation of the 40k universe that is that much fun to play. And Relic did Bolters correctly for once! Much rejoicing should be had for that alone. If the final game is anything like it Space Marine is going to be an amazing game, and imho a serious contender when it comes time to name a GOTY. Though, Deus Ex: HR seems to have that almost locked down.

    Going to try it later, shame they didn't release a mp-demo, the guys from eurogamer were pretty enthusiastic

    meh this isn't for me (looks cool though, nice clean grapics) it's boring. And I hate invisable walls.

    I really enjoyed the demo, and was a little surprised it played so well on my computer.

    Only things I wasn't sure about were the pauses when you come crashing down using a jump pack, and the way the camera pans when you're in melee. It didn't cause any major problems for me, but I could see it being hard reorienting yourself.
