[Romulus]

Looks generic considering I like the 40k universe.

 

[Razvedka]

I feel like they've still not shown us much of anything with this game. Why?

 

[Barakov]

Killing a crapload of gene-stealers? I'm in.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Does this have a release date yet?
~edit: watched the video, nothing more than "this winter"... oh well I'm sure we're gonna have fun with a friend or two

 

[SJRB]

Still no release date is a massive red flag for me, honestly.

 

[Trogdor1123]

This looks awesome… it is one of the games I’m most excited to get this year. It might be the top

 

[Wunray]

Rock fucking hard, let's get it.

 

[T4keD0wN]

I wonder if i can play and have a good time solo or if i have to buy it 3 times, because i totally would.

 

[manfestival]

I am in.

 

[winjer]

That looks really good.

 

[Holammer]

I still hate what they did with the soft-spoken and noble Titus from the original.
This Shadow the Hedgehog 90's edge makes my toes crawl.

The guy even delivers a little Picard speech when the Inquisition hauls him away.

 

[March Climber]

I hope they do a re-release or a quick remaster of Space Marine 1 someday(for consoles). I can see it being good for the brand and for their wallets.

 

[KormaChameleon]

For the emperor!

 

[Gojiira]

This is why Sony held back announcements, so much awesome stuff coming out this year already

In seriousness though my gawd this looks epic, the hordes of Nids look amazing. Cant wait, Day one.

 

[adamsapple]

Release date ?

 

[Kadve]

Does this have a release date yet?
~edit: watched the video, nothing more than "this winter"... oh well I'm sure we're gonna have fun with a friend or two

Release date ?

"This fiscal year" according to the latest Embracer financial report.

 

[Saber]

I like what I see. Looking foward to it.

 

[aygomyownroad]

Looks generic considering I like the 40k universe.

I’m hyped for it.
Outside of the strategy games the last one I liked was for the sega Saturn!

 

[FunkMiller]

I’m immediately suspicious over the fact they’re not showing us much of this game that has a co-op component…

Has the emperor of mankind been sullied by the GaaS curse?

 

[MiguelItUp]

I was already hyped on this and wasn't expecting this at all, good surprise! Here's to hoping it's as good as the first, if not better!

 

[Fbh]

Looks awesome IMO.
Said it on the live stream thread but it sort of reminds of an Xbox 360 era game in the best way. Coop campaign is great too, I might actually convince some buddies to get this for the nostalgia of when we played Gears.

I feel like they've still not shown us much of anything with this game. Why?

What more is there to show?
If it's anything like the first one what you see here is basically it. It's a straightforward shooter/slashers where you move through various environments mowing down hordes of enemies.
This sequel seems to introduce bigger enemy hordes and co-op which they showed off with this trailer.

 

[Slicker than your average]

I've always wondered why someone didn't just rip off gears of war with space marines. Coop 3rd person shooter as space marines would always be good .

Anything? Like an actual 5-10 min gameplay session? Features? I'm still holding out hope for PvP like the first one had.

 

[EekTheKat]

A basic straight to the point Ultramarine vs Tyranid game is refreshing considering the times we live in, where lots of publishers and developers view going against expectations as the way to go.

a Batman game without Batman
A Lord of Rings game starring Gollum,
a Suicide Squad game where you kill the Justice League -instead of just a Justice League game.

Get the foundation right here and they can give us a nice series of 3rd person action games that takes place in the 40k universe.

Of note - the surprisingly good 40k 10th edition trailer hyped me up a bit more for this. Just hope one day we can reach the scale of battles depicted in the trailers.

 

[StereoVsn]

Doesn't look too bad but will need to see a bit more. Can see myself getting this though if it holds up.

 

[Bartski]

tbh this looks like something I'd love to get my hands on and I couldn't care less about Warhammer. Not sure if I'd buy it but a demo would be great news

 

[hlm666]

Just hope one day we can reach the scale of battles depicted in the trailers.

dawn of war 3 multiplayer on some of the crazy choke point maps kind of gets close.

 

[Sleepwalker]

This is Gears without the annoying characters

 

[TheKremlinBossMan]

Looks fun as hell nice to have another dudebro shooter that isnt gears

 

[Fake]

So far so good.

 

[Lupin25]

With two others friends this game will be awesome. Visuals are top notch also.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Game of the show, looks insane. Sadly I have no friends that play this.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Looks good to me! Hoping there's no catch, ahaha

 

[FoxMcChief]

I thought it looked great.

 

[Team Andromeda]

Looks so good

 

[oji-san]

Looks fantastic to me, never really got into Warhammer, You can play this solo single player, yes?

 

[tomato shrub]

I know nothing about Warhammer, but I like hack'n'slay games, this looks fun.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

That should get you started.

You should try the first game, it's great. Usually on sale for super cheap on Steam (the Summer sales should start soon I think?) or the usual key resellers.

 

[Manwithoutfear]

looks amazing. the first game is truly a hidden gem. it's sad so many people never gave it a shot. I'm not even that big into warhammer. I probably couldnt tell you one name beyond space marine lol, but damn was that game fun. Even the mplayer was great. Really looking forward to this 3 player coop.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

So, will we get an update about this game at Gamescom? I can't see it coming out this year at this point. Still excited to play it, eventually.
