I think they went the right way with this title. It's a lot better than their original title, "Warhammer 40k: Termagaunt"

Re: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine for the X360

I havent seen a 40k game title that has done bolters right yet. The gun fires way too fast, and there are no explosions! FW [PS2/PC] had bolters that where grenade launchers....

This being said. that looks like alot of fun. As a Tau player I don't like how the focus of the game is on close combat, but I think ill manage :smile:

Re: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine for the X360

um I spent 2149.99 for GTAIV....

but I got as a bonus a 42 inch plasma tv and a kickass
blue ray player , then I bought a few other games too.

If they made this for ps3 id be happy, but for xbox = for PC eventually, so im not TOO worried.

... but your video card might be... and mine too...

Hopefully it doesn't appear as a straight port from the console.

However, with the recent price drop of the 360, the future release of this game, and the shear fun of Rock Band (not available for PC)... I may just have to pick up a console...

Re: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine for the X360

My xbox is main reason I've been away from 40K for over a year. I'm still playing the same game too - The Orange Box.

This 40K 3rd person shooter doesn't look too bad. I might get it for the sheer novelty. There are so many great games for the 360 that the market is fierce, and I don't have time to enjoy them all before I die. Unless, I win the lottery or something. I didn't have that much spare time to begin with.

My only hesitation for this game is that it looks like either a button mashing affair, or too complex for a part-time, has-been gamer like me to get remotely familiar with.

I also thought that the way the marine stands in front of the enemies was kind of funny - that awkward sense that they had to fight, but weren't sure how to start - like in high school.

Re: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine for the X360

It's hard for me to make an opinion on this. Sure it looks cool, but the gameplay just seems 'meh' to me. Sort of like god of war, just hit the buttons (in random orders to get different combos, but still...).

BUT, it is only their first build (according to the voice over), so a lot of things could change. If they work on a multiplayer mode and their AI (which appears pretty bad from this ), then I'll be interested! :smile:
