If the text flashing by in this trailer are to be believed, Relic Entertainment has managed to cram 1.8 billion different ways to customise Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine‘s six multiplayer classes, a number at least 1000 times larger than the amount of people likely to care.
I wonder how many different types of wax seals they are going to have!! I hope you don’t have to unlock everything first.
I love the Warhammer universes, but I think this game would be better off coming out nowhere near Gears of War 3. As a result, I think I’m waiting for this to hit the bargain bin.
That comment really doesn’t make a lot of sense. You love it but you won’t get it until it hits the bargain bin?
I am worried about the effect the gears release will have on the MP of this, however.
I had the same thought. We’re quite vulnerable over here in lonely old Australia. It takes a pretty big online community to make a game viable. I’ve found even Bad Company 2 is often too laggy, and that’s pretty popular.
If you’re on the xbox, Chuloopa, I might see you there!
I just hope there are some ba’dass Space Wolves-esque customizations available 🙂 So I can make me a kick-arse Space Viking.
Space wolves are there too, mate 🙂
I’m not too sure if they have the nick-nacks to go with it, but i’m sure they would have some embellishments to keep you happy
No offense but suck it long, suck it hard Trebek, err I mean Mike Fahey!!
This is going to look great in multiplayer with so much customisation. Everyone can look individual and different!! But what this also means is I will be spending hours making all sorts of Marines.
Does anyone know if the helmets will include the signature looks like for example the Night Lords Bat wings on the helmet or the Thousand Sons helmet style?
Here’s hoping you can get a skull face paint on the helmet ala Horus Heresy Night Lords or 40K chaplains!!
And I very much agree with Palstran, here’s hoping most of it is unlocked to start with if not all.
Each of the 6 classes gets to choose from a palette of 16,777,216 colours and has 18 items to choose from.
WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a xbox 360 and played GoW, not multiplayer though (I’m a cheapskate). But then my friends all got PS3’s so I’ve had to abandon a decent game to hang out with my friends.
But if this is good, I’ll be smashing it up. C’mon September!!!
Is there someone we can contact about articles with smart arse remarks in them?
Dont know how you guys feel but more and more recently ive been seeing articles on Kotaku that are written by smart arse’s, articles that are lacking any substance or simply just poor journalism..
I’d be assuming you’re not talking about any of the australian articles 😛
Basically the american arm is run by a different mob – so you can complain to them direct from the US site, or just do what mot people do and ignore it and read mainly the much better written aussie stuff 🙂
I wonder why they didn’t do some form of orks for multiplayer. They could have had Boyz with shootas for tac marines, Lootas for devestator and stormboyz for assault marines. Heck if they needed something tougher they could have Nobs in mega-armour , big meks with shok attack guns (different firing effects for weapons) and stormboy nobs.
probably because they would need different animations. The two types of marines are just different skins so half as much work. plus orks don’t have power armour so it isn’t fair.
