Space Marine Trailer Posted on Kotaku
June 16, 2010 by warzan
So while the guys over at Vigil Games have posted our first look at the the MMO Dark Milleniumn, the team at Relic has updated the footage from last years E3 look at the third person shooter 'Space Marine'.
Kotaku currently have it here: http://kotaku.com/5563451/warhammer-40k-space-marine-gets-its-first-trailer
Here are a few screen shots to show how this is shaping up:
First (or in this case Third) Person Shooters have a pretty limited lifespan so we only see this as being a great asset to the hobby, and it certainly looks like its shaping up to be a razor sharp kill fest! Get ready for bolter head shots ;o) Once this launches we will hook up the studio Xbox's and hope to meet and kill a bunch of you guys on Xbox Live!
It’s a third person game actually, a sort of Gears of Warhammer 40k 🙂 If this game will have some decent coop I’m sold! Heck I’ll probably get it anyway. 🙂
lol oops good point!, a quick edit and that will be fixed. 🙂

I’m mad keen on this GEARS of WARHAMMER 🙂
I am looking forward to this, I hope it’s a good game. One point of concern from looking at the screenshots, I hope they’re not trying to just create a Gears clone. The 40K universe has so much to offer. Even if Gears is an obvious inspiration, I hope they incorporate some of the uniqueness of the 40K setting
Saying that though, Gears of 40K, what more could you want? 🙂
Well, one mayor difference in gameplay between this and GoW is that this has a bigger focus on melee. As you can see in the trailers, you can opt for a jump pack and thunder hammer loadout. Which is awesome, of course. 🙂
A bigger focus than curb-stomping, two-piecing and chainsaw duels?
This hasn’t got a release date yet so it’s not going to see the light of day any time soon. Gears 3 is out next April and they need to be careful that this game is dwarfed by its release.
@graham: Yeah, GoW gameplay is still a shooter with the occasional melee move if you happen to get close. In this game you can switch your loadout to a chainsword and pistol, or forego a ranged weapon altogether and go to town with a thunder hammer. I’d call that a bigger focus. 🙂
A Thunder Hammer to the dome? Count me in!
That must be a fun sound sound effect to try to recreate for the game; KER-THUNK!!
…followed by a sound recorded using a watermelon and a vice…
I hope that when the game does come out, the variety of things we are shooting at manages to diversify. I mean don’t get me wrong I love killing greenskins as much as the next guy, but I think a duel with a chaos marine would be something to really look forward to.
this looks epic, cnt wait for the 40k mmorpg!
VALKYRIES NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo-
I’m hoping this will be great, and that they’ll follow it up with another chapter… Space Wolves! I can imagine playing as a Lone Wolf and tearing through squad after squad, doing all those Space Wolf things you read about – being the most ultimate badass marine there is. Maybe even being Ragnar Blackmane. Ahh the imagination, tis a great thing!
WE DA ORKS AND WES GONNA SMASH DA HUMIES IN DA VIRTUAL WURLD TO……could’nt resist, sorry.
They finaly made a third person warhemmer40k
I just looked at the preview of ‘Space Marine’ in the playstation mag, and they are saying its going to rival gears of war, which i think is going to be a big challange.
They would really have to shake up the game to make it like or better then gears.
zomg!!!! i wana play this soo bad :Pi hope u can cange your coulor scheme 🙂 stupid ultra marines an there blue armor :L
wene dose it come out..
I might actually prefer this to GoW3 if the release dates are close.
