Quick Look: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

spice marines

Space marines?! Looks fun but kinda repetitive.

Greenskins are just nicknames for the Orks, Ryan

I've noticed that v-sync is disabled on every PC Quick Look GB has uploaded.

Cool , im a little more interested than I thought I was going to be. As long as they mix it up with stuff happening, and mini bosses etc then It'll be fine.

The only thing I think is troublesome is no game has been able to portray the scope of the 40k universe yet, and thats definitely something you miss from game fiction.,

I was surprisingly happy with this game. It was quite short, about 7 hours.

Brutal, crazy, fun and British as shit!

Adeptus Astartes ALL UP INS.

Space Marines!?!

Oi it's dem space marines!

Love me some Space marine.

Huh I'm fairly sure its canonical that Orks can't pronounce the word "humans" ?

Ryan's right, they do say Space Marines a lot in this game. Also amusing British ribbing/insulting all through :P

This game is superior to Gears of War 3 in every respect. Anybody who thinks differently is a jack ass.

I could watch Ryan and Vinny play this game pretty much forever.

Space Marines!? :o

This game looks completely banal. Not good, not bad, but completely forgettable. The only reason Vinny and Ryan enjoyed playing this game is because they are stressed out in preparing for the 8 hour long show on Friday and playing a simplistic game like space marines was an outlet for temporary stress relief for them. Any other week and they would have trashed this game in the quick look.

And what a stupid name for a game. Space marines.

This has turned out to be a decent good game, for me. Thats the limit of it. Now to check this out...

Space marines! Cor blimey!

Played the demo after watching this. Loved it! I want to play more of it. I just wish I wasn't such a poor ass. 

Vinny does the funniest quicklooks ever.

This seems like a very satisfying game to play.

Oooooh nice! I'm pretty much sold I think lol looks pretty damn entertaining.

God damn, this game looks like it would be a super fun power trip. Loved the moment where Vinny called out one Ork then ran past about 20 others just to kill that one.

Yes. It's been too long since these two men did a Quick Look together.

Looks like a decent game, but if it weren't for the 40K license, it don't think people would care at all, the gameplay is quite bland.

SPICE MARINES?

It seems very basic and approachable, most likely full of easy ass achievements. Totally gonna pick it up when its cheap.

Played the multiplayer 3 hrs last night. Bloody good time with a few mates.

SPACEMARINES!!!

No look at the multiplayer? *SAD PANDA*

Space Marine!!

I'm not a fan of 40K at all but man this game looks fun.

SPESS MEHRENS??

moderately interested in this

Vinny shoots too much.

SPASE MAREENS?

It's nice to know dudes can wear loincloths in the future.. Maybe by the time I'm 87, I'll be able to as well. Fingers crossed..

Beat the game last night, it was a good game.

Great QL and happy to hear the voice acting isn't as bad as the demo was.

This game looks entertaining as hell.

Maybe we'll see a possible review from Vinny?

This game does not need to be played on a gamepad, doing so was a disservice to how great the melee/shooting mix can be when you can't just fuck shit up with a mouse. The melee is so broad that you don't need precision. I don't mean to sound like a PC elitist, but this game feels way better on a mouse and keyboard.

@RecallBerserk: It's not as basic as you might think, it can get really hectic and while the mechanics are "simple" in that there isn't a lot in the way of different single things you can do, it's less so in the requirement to manage crowds, health, and switch back and forth between shooting and meleeing. Play it on hard and it's a very interesting game.

and @Vinny & Ryan, for wondering why you can't use the rifle with the jump pack, YOU HAVE A JUMP PACK. IT'S BETTER THAN THE GUNS. Seriously, that whole sequence, you should just be stomping every mutha fuckin goomba in sight. The game wants you to mix things up. The combat in this game is most satisfying when you're switching modes all over the place, using everything at hand. So it's natural that they encourage you to actually use the cool jump pack instead of just sniping all those guys. Sure it's contrived, but sometimes, it's ok to just trust the developer and do what they are "suggesting" you should do.

Also, excellent Ork voices. Nailed it.

Why not show any multiplayer?

Are there Tyranids later? Seems like some jungle sections with creepy atmosphere and xenomorphs jumping out at you could be cool, and almost Jurassic Park like.

SPACE MAREENES!

Ork, Green skin, its all the same thing. It would be the equivalent of us saying Yankee instead of American or Paddy instead of Irish or Tommie instead of British. One is the actual name the other is kind of an insult.

They said in the last quicklook there would be Chaos later on. Haven't heard anything about Tyranids or Eldar.

I feel like Ryan and Vinny were being a bit nice to this game, I mean there have definitely been brutaler (brutaler?) games, the gameplay is waaaaaay repetitive, and the physics are just jacked. I mean I know it's just acting it up for the QL but I'm with Jeff in that I think this universe is kind of dumb. I also don't like how the main protagonist of there games always looks like they cam from a teen pop magazine.
