Warhammer 40k: SPACE MARINE

adam

The first batch of screenshots for the game I'm working on were released so I thought I'd pimp the game out now, nice and early, in true Polycount form.

skylebones

That looks awesome. You guys do great work.

slipsius

yes please!

Gilgamesh

Those in game shots ?

I must say I was excited from the e3 shots from last year so looking forward to it.

Jesse Moody

OH HELL YES!!!!

Mark Dygert

I need new pants...

Justin Meisse

purge the xenos scum! Relic really does the 40k universe justice.

adam

Yeah, those are in-game.

PixelMasher

looks awesome man, the style looks like its fun to work on with things having that heavy chunky look to them.

Marine

i like that the bald space marine is actually balding

dejawolf

looks nice. wasn't too keen on the last installment (windows live within steam? WTF) but it was still fun to play through once i got past that hurdle.

AstroZombie

Oh HELL yes!

Adam, was the UFC's Randy Couture an inspiration for you guys? Seeing as how THQ also publishes the UFC games, I'm thinking there's a connection here. Besides, the moment I saw the first published video I was like "omfg it's Randy!".

Great stuff from what I've seen from this and the trailer, I just hope there are plans for a PC release as well....

I must be sounding like a broken record by now, but Randy Couture himself is balding -_-

Joseph Silverman

okay, t4pan's right, that looks spookily like couture. Like somebody modeled a likeness and then rescaled the chin/forehead height to try and make it a different guy.

looking awesome, anyway.

Slum

Oh hell yes.

Gallows

So beyond hyped for this game! Isn't there some brutality system where you just destroy an enemy in first person?

Gav

Ah man, so awesome - congrats adam (and the Relic guys)

RazorBladder

Great work as usual from the guys at Relic, was looking like an odd Gears clone when it was first pimped off by the other company that was working on it at the time. Definately looking forward to this now though.

PixelMasher

i think the main thing here people are forgetting most importantly.....is there still mothafuckin "cinemaction" moments

TheWinterLord

wow are those gameplay shots?

Looks awesome!
Kinda looks like the ork versus space marines me and a friend just played, my orks got blown to bits...

Calabi

Its a bit cliche, couldnt you come up with something more original?

Is this the one, where their breaking cannon by having an uber marine killing lots of chaos marines(who am I kidding I'd buy it)?

JasonLavoie

I can't find the video now but I believe the Marine was killing traitor IG

Soft_Hands

By the emperor, I pray there is co-op campaign.

OrganizedChaos

Looks absolutely fantastic. I can't wait

Matabus

Jealous of you working on such a thing, Adam! You'd think I'd be burnt out of working on Games Workshop shit by now ... but no. 40k is a whole different beast. A sexy beast.

whats_true

Man, slick stuff for sure dude. Super stoked about this hehe.

wasker

Looks great! I'd like to see some bigger fangs on the orks though

IronHawk

I Adam

Cant wait man.

bounchfx

I loved the trailer they showed a while back, didn't realize you were on this project dude, looks good.

I still prefer 'in game' graphics to be literally what we see while we play (hud, same camera, etc), but that's just me :P


looks great!

jocose

That's amazing...

c0ldhands

This isnt a "omg this is awesome" reply, rather the opposite my gentlemen, for once Im gonna be really honest about this. Its bland, its orcs and marines and its the same Warhammer banalaty thats been arround since `87. What Im trying to proclaim here is that I dont need another Warhammer game, thats me personally and not the millions of other fans. I dont need more orcs, marines and elfs and dwarfes and gnoms and trolls and space insets(Zerg or Tyranids, you chose). Im sick of Blizzard and Warhammer beeing practically the same thing...Starcraft=Warhammer 40K, Warcraft=Warhammer.

There I said it, its out of my head and on your plate, do what you want to do with it. Its just been bugging me for a while and now I feel more eased about it. This has nothing to do with the game, I myself think its good looking and depicts the orcs and marines as surely the mass of the Warhammer fans wants to picture them. So Adam, when am I gonna se marines vs space colonial goats? You better make it happend!

By the emperor, we pray. He will smight all if there is no co-op campaign. Just as he slayed the wretched Warmaster Horus!

Anyway, this looks amazing and has looked like a refreshing change of pace from the RTS games the franchise has become associated with. Is it kosher to ask what particular assets you've worked on?

Thegodzero

sexy!

Bal

This could be great, hope it'll be getting a PC release, heard rumors it was console only?

MattQ, hah, I love that strip.

Snefer

So..looks good. How much of it is bullshot, and how much of it is real? :] I suppose your AA is not that high, and do you have object based motionblur? Looks really good though :]

Flaringo

if this is game is exclusive to consoles, someone will pay.

Xoliul

It is console exclusive.

i'm pretty sure if you add up the warhammer and blizzard games there have been only something like six or seven in the last ten years. As far as overdone subjects this is nothing in the games industry. I don't really see what you're getting at here. Relic's two RTSes, the mythic mmo, starcraft, warcraft 3 and wow, a couple of realtime tactical games on the pc nobody played...

Zwebbie

SupRore, are you actually saying that we haven't had a lot of games about space marines?
They're second only to nazis, taking the spot above space nazi marines.

Slum

There's a difference between space marines and Space Marines. We need less games about space marines, and more games about Space Marines.

I'm saying we havent had a lot of games about Games Workshop properties, or close knockoffs.

this is true. and they need to be for the PC. none of this console mumbo jumbo!

Justin Meisse

what's wrong with consoles? playing an action game on the PC feels weird unless you hook a controller up.

Calabi

These are the best space marines though. I just want to see some of the proper gritty warhammer stuff, like the empire is evil and chaos is just a bit more evil.
