Gameplay looks...fine?

 

[ungalo]

dope, but i want the date

 

[MadchesterManc]

Been playing plenty of Darktide, Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters & Boltgun recently, could do with more 40K still

 

[Hot5pur]

Hopefully it's as good as the first one, but different dev. Looks quite good so far.

 

[MiguelItUp]

This is the same amount of footage they showed last time, roughly. I feel like we'll see more at Summer Game Fest. I'm hoping it lands really well, loved the first game.

 

[Kacho]

Looks sick!!!!!!

 

[Luc2010]

I still need to beat the first one! It was fun and this does, too.

 

[Edder1]

Looks more next gen than anything Sony showed.

 

[manfestival]

Well this looks nice. Hopefully the whole game is actually of this quality and that the MP is similar

 

[scarlet0pimp]

Can't we get the first one on back compat or a quick re-release. If not it again for the series x

 

[Mattdaddy]

God it looks great. The OG was so much goddamn fun.

Spoiler: Original Spoiler

I actually hope they retcon the Orc Warboss to make a re-appearance. He was the unsung hero of the original hahaha. SCCCHHHHHHHPAAAAAACCCCEEEEEEE MAAAAARRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE

 

[Topher]

Looks fantastic. But.......damn, I wish it was some other faction than Ultramarines.

 

[YuLY]

Dayum this looks good. Finally something with testosterone in this industry. Gives me Gears of War vibes. I miss 3rd person shooters, no bs campaign that can be done in 6-8h , no gaas forced online coop zoomer shit.

 

[Mattdaddy]

Looks fantastic. But.......damn, I wish it was some other faction than Ultramarines.

They had some cool reskin mods for the original if you're on PC that looked legit.

But yeah overall agree, it would be cool if the story actually followed some different chapters. I like Titus a lot but hopefully the game does really well and they keep exploring the universe with some new characters.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Cant wait, i really hope we get to fight more factions than just tyranids.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Damn this looks crazy good. I don’t know shit about Warhammer, but I’ve got like 5 or 6 Warhammer games lol

What I want is a Space Marine game that follows the Dark Angels story line. By far the most interesting chapter, imo.

Cant wait, i really hope we get to fight more factions than just tyranids.

I'd love to see some Necrons.

 

[adamsapple]

I've always wanted to play the first game, I think I even own it via Epic Games. Will definitely check it out before this releases.

God...I wish this would sell well, would love to go against Necrons on a tomb world, or against the Tau....This universe is so awesome but we only explore it in indies or turn based stuff.

 

[Kacho]

I'd love to see some Necrons.

Now we’re talking.

 

[Saber]

Gameplay looks...fine?

Same. Which is a good thing nowadays. Looking foward to this one.

 

[SALMORE]

the game cover is similar to original am gonna buy the PS5 just for it , Alan Wake 2 & Robocop

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Ok..this is on my radar now. looks like good old-fashioned mindless fun.

 

[Sleepwalker]

It looks right up my alley, I know nothing about 40k tho

 

[Fake]

Looks what Gears of War should be.

Looking pretty great so far.

 

[Mossybrew]

Yup, enjoyed the first game, looking forward to this.

 

[Braag]

I'm hyped, first game was so much fun. It's a shame they didn't get Mark Strong for the sequel, the new VA is okay.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Looks what Gears of War should be.

Looking pretty great so far.

Right? This is what Gears should be looking like.

 

[Topher]

Right? This is what Gears should be looking like.

Never really thought about it, but the two are similar. I wonder if Warhammer 40k influenced the concept of Gears of War.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

Looks fantastic. But.......damn, I wish it was some other faction than Ultramarines.

Cant wait, i really hope we get to fight more factions than just tyranids.

I could be wrong, but I think they want to promote the 10th edition that's coming out and that seems to be heavily Tyranid focused.

The game looks amazing to me, probably one of my most anticipated titles. I hope they nail it.

 

[Kacho]

I love the excessive amounts of blood. Looks like how violence in video games SHOULD look. IMO

 

[Topher]

Didn't think about that, but yeah you are probably right. Now......imagine if they could work Lion El'Jonson's return into the story somehow.

 

[GymWolf]

Same. Which is a good thing nowadays. Looking foward to this one.

It kinda reminds me of evil west, that one was fun.

 

[Kadve]

Looks like the first game. The bolter is way way to weak sounding though and what's with that voice acting?

 

[Holammer]

Captain Titus sounds like he's in some sort of Shadow the Hedgehog phase.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That was my favorite custom skin in the Unreal Tournament days.

 

[fermcr]

Looks good. Never played the first Space Marine...

 

[AJUMP23]

dope, but i want the date

You got to ask the person out. Just ask if they say no, move on.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Can't fucking wait for this!

For the Emperor!!!

 

[R6Rider]

Awesome!

Also, PSA: Boltgun is great for those who like FPS (boomer shooter in this case).

 

[Kuranghi]

Gameplay looks...fine?

I'm less excited for it now, the gameplay looks slow (but without massive impact to accompany a low speed) and almost stilted in many parts, would like to see a more constant stream of gameplay before I write it off though. The beasties flying around look excellent and the overall fidelity is great but didn't really light my world on fire.

 

[outsida]

I likes it, and I wants it.

 

[SF Kosmo]

I enjoyed the first game, though it's not something I would ever think to revisit. I hope it's not as hyper-linear, gaming has advanced a lot since then.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Looking good. MS should have had this on their show in June.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Parts of ot look like how I wished GoW Ragnarok should have played out.

 

[Labolas]

Not bad at all really. Looks kinda fun.

The game is slated to arrive "this fiscal year" So plenty of time to polish things up hopefully. Unless the whole Russian situation worsens and Saber St Petersburg becomes a victim...

Also this is built in the WW: Z (Swarm) engine. Not sure how flexible it is regarding making a game like this. Though it probably explains why they chose Tyranids as your primary enemy.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Been playing plenty of Darktide, Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters & Boltgun recently, could do with more 40K still

We're finally getting a bunch of high quality Warhammer 40,000 games. Looks like publishers and developers are finally taking it seriously.

 

[nikos]

Looks fun.
