it does look pretty awesome, doesn't it?

Though I'll wait for it to be in my greedy hands before being overly excited :D

I was actually quite impressed with the demo. Maybe it was because I had played the Bodycount demo before and was underwhelmed.

Even though it doesn't do anything really new, it's just fun to play and seems like it will have a decent story. Plus I like how brutal the melee combat feels.

stevenhiggster4629d ago

I quite liked it, it's not perfect and there was a few things that annoyed me like no jump or crouch? Other than that it was pretty good.

bozebo4629d ago (Edited 4629d ago )

It's quite good, Relic are a good studio.

The PC demo felt a bit clunky though and it did have mouse smoothing/accel or something similar feeling even though I turned it off in the options :S

But I presume the full release will have controller support so it's not a big deal and I will be buying it.

Anyone else annoyed with constantly having to ride the health/finishing move roller coaster in the demo? Your health drops way too quickly in this game and you're forced to wade into a pack of orcs to replenish.

Abriael4628d ago

that's exactly the point. You're a space marine, not a cowering gears of war kid, you're supposed to always be in the middle of the fray :D

DARK WITNESS4625d ago

ya but when the only reason they give you for being in the middle of everything is to keep your health ticking over you still don't really feel like a badass, more like a guy on life support.

The health system should have been done better and the incentive for being in the "thick" of the battle should be something like upgrades or something.

the real problem is you still taking damage from foes in real time while you have just done a combo and your in slow-mo. you have so many shooting and hitting you that as soon as you finish your combo and gain some health it's all gone anyway.

i enjoyed the game, and I am a fan of warhammer so I am really happy to see a game like this come out, but I would change the health system a bit.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine came out more than a decade ago – a retrospective

Bits & Pieces asks: Releasing in 2011, there's a sequel on the horizon for Warhammer 40,0000: Space Marine. Relic’s third person hacker-shooter is older than the average Twitch chatter – how does it hold up?

Samus is on the list. Personally I'd swap the Space Marines with either Grey Fox from MGS or the COG armor from Gears of War.

NecrumOddBoy353d ago

You’re right. Hiding at the bottom so I missed it

REDGUM353d ago

There's no Dead Space listed in here, WTF!

Sciurus_vulgaris353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

I’d take the Space Marine power armour off the list due to it not originating in a video game.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

cthulhucultist366d ago

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
