Actually, there was already a leaked video with one of the guys working on the project, who played through some of it, cutting down chaos, and did some audio commentary on it as well while he was playing. This is old news : /

BL books are equivalent to imperial propoganda. In truth, Astartes are powerful-- of this there is no doubt-- but not gods upon the battlefield.

and one more thing.... wheres my Space Wolves (space puppies!)? Wheres myblood thirsty/glory seeking/ stubborn Blood Claws at? and i really do hope they crank up the gritty dark gothic styled universe instead of something that's pacified to a pg-13/R raiting... i would love to see an AO rated warhammer 40k game

so is this game going to be mainly featuring the Ultramarines or will it have a chapter selection (or make your own?) feature?

Im going to take a guess here but im thinking its an rpg version of gears of war were you start out as a tac squad sgt.(fenix) and you have some marines run around with you(dom & cole) upgrading everyone as you progress(thunder hammer, jump pack, heavy bolter ect.)

I just love the the fact Relic is making a game genre that got bash like no-other by English speaking critics. No matter how bad IGN or Gamespot bash them, the Dynasty Warrior game play is popular and it sales. I am expecting this, just not from relic, who always make games base on critic rating ;p

a) It's not Warhammer 40k by the tabletop rules. It's a video game.

b) It's a video game called "Space Marine." Guess who'll be the most badass?

c) The 40k fiction is practically all about Space Marines killing enormous swaths of enemies that would pose huge problems for them in tabletop.

d) Space Marines rule. Orks can suck it.

@SM & @Kafkadreams

Thanks guys for seeing what I saw in it as well. I was amazed at the response to what I saw to be an innocent observation, so it was nice to finally see that I wasn't alone...in a minority surely, but not alone! =)

Hey, it happened in [I]Brothers of the Snake[/I], and that was just 1 movie marine! (and he was a member of a tactical squad!)

Nah, I got what you mean, man.

It looked a lot like DOW2 because DOW2 featured such a small squad of spacemarines, with the same weapons (Thunderhammer, heavy bolter, ect, like you were saying), and the scenery looked similar.

The overall look of the trailer was DOW2-esque .

chill out, its just a game man. This whole argument has gone from people complaining that their chapter didnt get enough love, now you are all saying your chapter is better because it gets lots!

as previously said, chill out

If it resembles Dynasty Warriors in anyway it'll be a one dimensional experience where you hack billions of men to death with the same combo for hours at a time.

Not a good idea.

There's a cinematic quality that everyone seems to desire which will never be achieved, especially not in the game formats they appear to want them in. Arcade is arcade.

Opinion seems to be leaning towards them being a command squad to explain the size and variety of weapons.

QFT!! Couldnt have said it better myself. Just sit back, enjoy the trailer, and pray to the Emperor that this will be a kick ass game!

I stand by my opinion that Dynasty Warriors is a lame series of games.

DOW 2 was far from revolutionary. The squad based RTS lite was done years before in the Commando games. Gameplay elements were changed, like squad leaders being imortal and interesting objectives being replaced with a chipper-shredder land grab, but the basic concept wasn't new.

Not saying that it was a bad game, just that it wasn't exceptional.

I agree that It does look like a DOW 2 mod.
Sure there has to be a slew of new code to turn a RTS into an action/rpg brawler but the preview looks like it's rendering in the DOW 2 engine, ergo DOW 2 mod.

Cmon you picky nerds get your head out of your rulebooks!!! Do you really think that someone is going to make a game and worry about little details such as who can have what weapons, "they don't just hand out Thunder Hammers" etc.....

Let's be a little realistic here they want the game to look cool for the MASS MARKET.

The story of a small squad of specially equipped soldiers severely outnumbered and triumphing against the odds is nothing new for video games or movies. Maybe you should look on the bright side and be glad that they even made it and it will bring more people into the tabletop hobby.

I wish people would take the time to actually READ the articles related to this upcoming game. In IGN it states that other xenos where spotted in the gameplay demo. The Dawn of War games never stuck to just one alien race so what makes anyone think it's going to be any different in this game?

My first chapter was Blood angels, then I played Space wolves, but after a while i moved on to Ultramarines because I wanted to try different tactical combinations, instead of just grabbing something sharp and running at the ememy...

Oh dear lord not Space Marines beatin the pudding out of Orks again! Could they chane the villains to someone else, I know Orks are pretty easy and plausable to use bu they get beat on all the time, it'd be more interesting if instead the SM were infiltrating a Chaos-corrupted world and were trying to fight their way through cultists and traitors to their Chaos Lord or maybe even a Daemon Prince :D I find that more....flavourful
