W40k: Space Marine, aka GoW

[Excidium]

I see. Well shame on no flamethrower.

 

[Destroid]

Wonder what the multiplayer will be like? They could quite easily make a class based game with tacticals, terminators, assault marines and their chaos counterparts.

 

[Mangoose]

It's class-based with 3 classes: Assault, Tactical, and Devastators.

No Termies AFAIK.

Off the top of my head, the other weapons in the game not featured in the demo:

Melta Gun
Plasma Rifle
Plasma Pistol
Thunder Hammer
Heavy Bolter
Plasma Cannon
Lascannon
Combat Knife

If you got a xbawks, just plug the controller on your pc after you installed the drivers and there you go.

I guess you don't have a wired controller to hook up to the PC?

My XBAWKZ©™ controllers are wireless. You can get a receiver fo rhte PC that lets you use them, but it's more expensive than just buying the damn game for XBAWKZ. Also, while I do have HDMI ports on both my TV and desktop computer, they are in two different rooms. A HDMI cable to connect the two would have to be ~20m long. All in all, if I have to play it with a controller, it's way cheaper ot just buy it for the XBAWKZ.

I guess I'll give the demo a try. Ive nearly finished Desu Ex anyway.

Just played it. Outstanding. A demo with fully mappable controls is a welcome throwback.

Being a fan of teleporters (Nightcrawler in Xmen, Assassin in Diablo 2, etc), I noticed my dick was fully erect after playing through the jump-pack level.

I did have one graphical glitch which was some textures flickering to black, especially during the cutscenes.

 

[Excidium]

Some people had that problem too. It's a driver thing, it seems. What is your graphics card?

By the way:

I just watched the Ultramarines movie. lol it's so bad

Well I thought it was pretty good.

No seriously. It was better then I expected. Same goes for the game.

What? No sorry, it was way worse than a Syfy Original Movie. It was just bad. It also did not correctly depict Space Marines in almost every facet and that's unforgivable. I mean watching that movie you have to ask
A) Aren't space marines supposed to be amazing warriors?
B) Aren't space marines supposed to be extremely awesome at tactics and so on?
C) Isn't the armor Space Marines wear supposed to be more than paper?

They tried to shoehorn in a bunch of crap that I guess is supposed to reflect Space Marine lore, but it honestly is just really corny and bad. Space Marines are merciless terminators, not the derpaderps in that movie.

There's two scenes where they kill like 50 chaos marines because they just zerg rush and get shot down. That's stupid. That's not how space marines, chaos or otherwise, work!

Space Marines are that fucking guy from the FPS shooter server you play on who headshots you .001 seconds after you go around a corner and you start raging because he's fucking owning you.

The way they handled jump packs reminded me of Giants: Citizen Kabuto (the Delphi levels), which was gud

 

[Ulminati]

Ergh... Ok, I'll definately have to remap the controls if I want to play this. They are not left-handed player friendly. The demo seens pretty nice. Not sure how quickly the novelty wears off.

 

[Twinkle]

Awesome graphics!

Forced AA?

Forced AA?

Yep, cheers.

EDIT: Eh, doesn't really seem much different from gears of war with some dynasty warriors. Can't say I found the game very compelling.

 

[Claw]

- QTEs. There aren't much. But one really tripped me up out of counter-intuitivity.

Wait, QTEs? Where? I played the demo and I don't recall any.

 

[crakkie]

Nobs

 

[Gragt]

Does repeatedly push a same button to resolve a statu quo count as QTE? I thought it designated sequences where your character do various actions and you need to press different buttons at different times to succeed.

 

[Mangoose]

Remember I was talking about with KB you need to Execute and then spam the Shoot button.

 

[Claw]

Yeeah, I read page 2 now.

At least that explains why the Nobs always killed me.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

They made a p. exciting trailer for the demo.

[Mangoose]

They make an exciting trailer like every day. I bet there's one for today.

Edit: Told you lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFqAQzwq7MM

Though I know of no other way of attracting CoDers except throwing endless marketing at them.

 

[Bluebottle]

What the fuck is with Relic and the UK? A region locked demo? That's pretty stupid.

Can always torrent the demo and do some fucking around to get it to work, but I might as well just wait and torrent the full thing.

 

[anus_pounder]

Serious question, whats the best SP campaign length for games like this anyway ?

It is not Relic and THQ it is the GAME.UK brick and mortar store that is acting like bitches around Space Marine.

[Mangoose]

I dunno.. 12-15? I haven't played a good single player shooter campaign in forever...

As for SM, Relic said they are expecting 12 hours.

Those are some severely derp advertisements.
