What about all the vehicles? Uhhh?
 
Vehicles need some simulation to feel right.

Warhammer 40,000 - where grinding through thousands of mobs actually fits comfortably with the fiction

Relic and Vigil must be like Insomniac and Naughtydog the way they share tech and whatnot.
God I want to play both these games so bad.

Yeah, I noticed that.  Both THQ properties but still kinda weird.  Oh well, I hope this game turns out solid.  The world could use a good MMO that isn't fantasy based, and the 40K universe is a great one. "
If your THQ and you need a "transporting troops shot" are you going to pay thousands of dollars to code a new one or use a perfectly good one you currently own.... don't be stupid.  "
If I'm THQ, and I'm cutting a trailer for a new MMO, a genre that has proven notoriously difficult to build succesfully for, I'm going to do everything in my power to put my best foot forward, which includes not cribbing fotage from another game.  That being said I'm still interested in this game both as a gamer and a longtime fan of the 40K universe.  
 
Oh, and that wasn't being stupid.  That was attempting to engage in intelligent and thoughtful commentary.  A foolish thing to try on the internet I suppose.

Hmm, W40kDMO. Shame they can't switch around the title so it's WMD.

Praise the Emperor! Finally someone in the industry who realizes that there are a bajillion fantasy-themed MMOs and makes the first move before Blizzard gets off its bloated ass to make a Starcraft MMO!

I'm all for a 40k MMO but since it won't be out for say four years, why care now?

Somehow I get the feeling it's like the first Warhammer Online game. Great lore for a game, but poorly executed (quests, zones, etc.). But we will see.. Seeing as it's so popular it might be a good contender versus the other new ones (The Old Republic for example).

Vigil has my seal approval now, I'm down for checking out anything they're involved in... The fact that it's 40k based is the gravy

They have already revealed shots of graphical versions of this lovely machine:  http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/large/Worldeat1.jpg  
 
so it looks like the World Eaters are definitely in.

Given what Vigil did with Darksiders, I have a ton of confidence in those guys.  Hopefully, the production of this is not slowing down Darksiders 2, though.

Warhammer 40k.  Awesome.  Love sci-fi, especially love the 40k universe.
 
but.. anyone else feel the MMO formula is getting a little worn out?  "Go get me 10 Ork nubs and I'll give you a Bolter +1!"
 
I hope they do something different with the MMO gameplay elements.  I also hope they actually build an MMO world and not a loosely strung together collection of instanced, private zones.

You would think they'd learn something from all other MMO's that have tried to beat WOW. 
But I guess that as long as there's people playing they make money, even though it's not nearly as much as WOW brings in for Blizzard.

I can see a game like this being very enjoyable. The only problem is its hard to come out with an mmo that can actually survive. I would also like to see an mmo that wasnt an RPG such as WOW and have it be a big hit. Let it have RPG elements such as leveling up and collecting new gear, but make the combat epic with it being point and click.

I don't really want two million Space Marines running around, but for as much as I like the IG, I do recognize that a 250-year-old superhuman in terminator armour and a flashlight-wielding guardsman with a flack jacket wouldn't be exactly balanced in PvP (assuming that traitor guard or chaos SMs make an appearance, of course).

im fairly certain they have already stated that they will be making a tonne of money if they game even got 1 million players. though i could be thinking of another title, but i cant imagine which other game it might have been?

Great, they announced the Space marines as a playable race.  But it's kind of obvious.  What would a WH40K game be without the Space Marines?

Looks good but it will be interesting to see what they do with the Imperium of man.I like that they have confidence in there engine and show gameplay rather than renders (cgi).

As long as there's at least one enemy in the game that yells "SPUYCE MARINE!" I'm on board.
