More like a Salamander Brother. But, your suspicions were warranted. No son of Sanguinius has EVER chosen anything less than delivering the Emperor's wrath by glorious hand to hand combat. The Mighty 9th Legion, The Blood Angles, are bested by none, when it comes to spilling blood by blade.
Plz be optimized, plz de optimized, plz be optimized. Looks great... Hope it's better than last two games (which I really liked but were filled with bugs... And I am not talking about the aliens trying to kill you XD)
First decent / authentic 40k game I've seen in a long time. Ever since Games Workshop started throwing the licence at anyone who asked about it there's been nothing but dross. That said I'm not sure about the longevity. Those attack animations were already starting to get pretty old
If there were a few more of those animations it would mix things up a bit, but it looked like there was only 1 per weapon type. What's the progression like? Is there some form of xp? A research or crafting tree of do you have access to everything from the off?
So, I'm not sure how the squad develops over the course of the campaign - we were only able to play a selection of single skirmish maps. I didn't see any evidence of crafting/research tree, though there's definitely a large range of load outs in the customization screen that would change how you play. As I mentioned in the video, I was playing in quite a repetitive way in this level - hey, it worked as a tactic - so you didn't get the full range of animations, etc.
That would be the first space hulk videogame and ascension. ascension is what you would want to play over the first one while tactics from what we can see purges both of those games. Feel like buying tactics? Because i sure as heck want to!
Technically the first Space Hulk videogame would be the 1993 Space Hulk for DOS (which also got a sequel in 1996), you're referring to the third Space Hulk videogame and its sequel there.
Several Large Pumpkins i was born in 1997 so i never knew about those two games when growing up (only knew about what you said was considered the third, fourth and tactics).
It was quite cold to just sacrifice the Marine holding the southern corridor. But the mission just ended the moment the required 3rd one teleported out. It seems the game doesn't asses your performance with regard to things like losses taken in a scenario, at least in the skirmish mode.
Very excited for this release. Couple quick questions if you can speak to them: - Are you limited to the classes you must take? can you take all Assault or all Tacticals? - Do the marines level up similar to what they did in Space Hulk: Ascension? - Is there possibility for better weapon profiles, again, similar to what was in Space Hulk: Ascension? - Do you get set cards, or do you "earn" cards as you advance? Great vid, would love to see more levels and Genestealer game play. Also, could you do a vid on hulk building?
Thanks for this preview. It seems the old space hulk game (1993 on DOS !) was way better than this one in terms of game mechanics. Basically it was real-time with a limited amount of pause (like 30s for such a scenario) that you could use as you see fit to give orders without the stealers moving. You could also turn to first-view on any marine, which gave you much more chances to win your fights with this marine while the rest of the squad got dismembered. Nerve-racking
Card system that can be converted to extra action points seems to make the game much easier compared to the original board game that limits you to 4AP. It looks like this game gives you the luxury of actions to take.
Yes 4AP, but there were also “Command points” you got per turn for anyone to use (instead of these cards). It definitely helped and added to the Original Space Hulk strategy! I love the original game, and the first modern digital version (2009). I didn’t like SH Ascension as much because for me, I’d rather the game stay true to the actual board game and not have RPG elements, etc. That said I’m still a Space Hulk fan of any version and will probably get this.
+Count Otto von Gruber It's not even sci-fi really, especially compared to the other weapon in WH40K. They have Miniguns today, of course you can't just walk around carrying them,,,,,,,,cause you aren't wearing a tank as a suit :-p
I'm a bit confused. When they announced this game I thought it would be quite different from the other 2 Space Hulk strategy games we got in the past few years, but other than the card system and the percentages being shown I see no real differences. Apparently also only 1 finishing move per melee weapon right now. And they seem to have revamped the melee system overall, but yeah, this seems more like "Space Hulk: Ascension" with some updates and a different graphics engine. I had hoped this game would be something more unique...a bit more action packed as well maybe.
I'm hoping that the campaign brings some interesting framing to it - I was a bit annoyed we weren't allowed to capture from that, as it gave the whole thing some context and had some interesting mechanics of its own. I enjoyed what I played, but I'm definitely holding out for the final game to see if it delivers more.
in the last two space hulk games if you fail a melee hit the genestealer automatically counters and kill the terminator, in tactics from what i saw in this video the genestealer dodged but did not counter. Unless a certain card that prevents counter attacks was used (which i didn't see one that allows you to avoid counters) you don't have to worry about dying because you missed an attack in melee.
@@sdgamer1860 I feel I want to play this in first person and in the highest difficulty setting, I think it'll add almost like a fear element to the game not knowing what's around any given corner or behind a door
Yeah uh, 'bout that. The melee there was a draw, an actual fail still results in a counter attack, kinda unfortunate tbh because I loved the idea of not dying after a bad dice roll.
Love Space Hulk but the last games werent that good! Seeing the genestealers dont attack and cheating the overwatch already gives me a bad feeling. Also i hope in the final version there are more diffrent animations, got boring already.
You do know what strategy games are, right? What, should it have been a cover shooter with identical variants of four guns and health regen? Sorry some of us like games that require a modicum of intelligence.
As the first person here it's your duty to say something extra interesting or entertaining. The eyes of the world are upon you - are you really going to waste this opportunity on typing 'first'? Why not try again, and give us something good.
Why do people keep remaking this? It was a bad boardgame - continuously remaking the exact same game on PC with different graphics is not going to improve the basic flaws with the game mechanics.
The premise is interesting, but the execution is just...lacking. We've had TWO adaptations of the board game in the past few years. Both weren't really great. Why can't they make a tactical Warhammer 40k game without these stupid constrictions? Maybe similar to XCOM...instead we get the 3rd version of...this, which won't be much better than the previous 2 iterations.
Board game is awesome. 4th and 5th generations (which are the same) sold out within 24 hours worldwide. This might be the first iteration that does the original justice, though.

Brother, get the flamer...
NO... The HEAVY flamer!
I think we may have a heretic here...

Get the assault cannon brothers.
I need a thunder hammer quickly!

I love RPS for your chilled out vids. Recovering from appendicitis just chilling and going through your uploads. Good times. Keep it up.
Thanks, and get well soon!
Anybody else see the floating genestealer at 19:40? Nice gameplay vid though, definitely buying this game once it hits the shelves.
"This guys job is really boring.. he stands there and claws things to death".... well... you just described my dream assignment!
Crap. I *was* getting attached to the assault guy, down at the bottom.
Good video, thank you. Can't wait for the release.
Well done, great vid. I have been watching this game and have played tabletop for decades....I am an old gamer...thx
Okay that scene where heavy weapons terminator unloads single bolt round looks boss as fuck.

ShoutingStone Inquisitor Martyr and Deathwing are really good too
since it's just the board game with the addition of 'Chance cards' there is no levelling/crafting/research
NinjaCyborg ugh this game would've been perfect with some RPG mechanics
Gotta love that constant drill noise
In space no one can hear you scream (over the sound of the drill).
Really great game I remember space hulk just got this yesterday
I just keep playing 15.34, it's hilarious! God bless you, assault guy..
I love the assault guy.
Poor Assault Terminator, Emperor bless his soul.
He surviwed. Mission was succesful.
Definitely one game I'll be keeping my eye on.
Didn't I buy this game twice already?
That would be the first space hulk videogame and ascension. ascension is what you would want to play over the first one while tactics from what we can see purges both of those games. Feel like buying tactics? Because i sure as heck want to!

Yeah, I would hope that the campaign would reflect how you treated your men in individual skirmishes.
I think there is an amount of “Acceptable” losses allowed in missions which varies, as in the two games before this (not DOS versions).
If he didnt die he surviwes and gets exp.
So what is the actual difference between this and space hulk ascension? Because they look the same to me!
The drill sound will get old real quick. Can it be turned off?
So am I right to say this is just Space Hulk Ascension with up close combat animation? :/
Very excited for this release. Couple quick questions if you can speak to them:
- Are you limited to the classes you must take? can you take all Assault or all Tacticals?
- Do the marines level up similar to what they did in Space Hulk: Ascension?

The cards are all unlocked in MP but in campaign you unlock new cards and units as you progress. Or so the dev team tweets are saying anyway.
Thanks for this preview.

Can the space marines walk backwards. Seems pretty useful if they can
This game has some of the best action cam stuff I've seen, but that said can I turn it off and stay in isometric the entire time?
Yes.
It looks like a better version of "Space Hulk Ascension" with a bit of "Warhammer 40.000 Space Wolf" (cards). How many of these can they come up with!
Why are there so many spacehulk games? I mean theres 3 and they're all basically the same thing aren't they?
Also new Space Marine Class- Cork
Carpe Mkarzi “Get stick in with the boys “
tyranide have better initiative , so why the sergent strike first ?

I happen open this video and just have to say love your channel Name
omg that drill sound is so annoying
The downside to carrying a powerful drill arm.
but why it has to loop every few seconds XD argh
It's a Narthecium lol
Wanted to post this myself. I hope there's a way of turning it off, it's irritating as hell.
0xBADCOFFEE I think it's been fixed because I didn't notice it when I played the pre-order beta yesterday.
so if u preorder can u play this now??
That's not how preorders work
Love the assault cannon heavy weapon. It's my favorite sci-fi weapon.
+Count Otto von Gruber It's not even sci-fi really, especially compared to the other weapon in WH40K. They have Miniguns today, of course you can't just walk around carrying them,,,,,,,,cause you aren't wearing a tank as a suit :-p

More varied missions and triggers is definitely something that's gonna be needed if this game wants to succeed. Holding out hope!
Looks awesome
The Apothecary was a dentist before he became a Space Marine
The only logical explanation.
This coming out on xbox?
Yep. And PS4.
What is wrong with the Apothecary and why he is squatting like that ?
Of course they have a home, they are BLOOD Angels, not DARK Angels ;)
95DarkFire **cough** nothing happened on Caliban **cough**
Cant wait 😊\[T]/ the Emperor
you no longer die if you fail a melee hit? that's nice.
I'm sure if I like it, there should be a option to turn that on
in the last two space hulk games if you fail a melee hit the genestealer automatically counters and kill the terminator, in tactics from what i saw in this video the genestealer dodged but did not counter.

There's Space Hulk: Deathwing.
Yeah uh, 'bout that. The melee there was a draw, an actual fail still results in a counter attack, kinda unfortunate tbh because I loved the idea of not dying after a bad dice roll.
omg omg omg.
Legs, legs...
So far the only thing that i hate about this game is the kill animation. Your getting the same damn kill sequence every single time
The Force Barrier ability seems a bit OP
I only made it look OP with my amazing tactical mind. (Okay, it might be OP.)
You lost me at electric wolverine claws.
The constant drill is actually a deal breaker. Please. Make. It. Stop.
Maybe come up with a better name then card points.
Now if someone could just make a decent game based on kill team or necromunda.
That would be quite Nice.
There is a necromunda game currently in development
@@kristopergriffin9774 true, i completely forgot about that One somehow. :)
Sorry, I'm not paying 40$ for a game I already played twice
Love Space Hulk but the last games werent that good! Seeing the genestealers dont attack and cheating the overwatch already gives me a bad feeling. Also i hope in the final version there are more diffrent animations, got boring already.
Ugh... everyone knows Blood Angels don't have terminator apothecaries
they don't have terminator ones of those either, not any more anyway
You're being a little too picky on that Ninja it is still canon.
not in 8th edition
-_- whatevs
You're completely right, your opinion dominates mine. Good day.
slow animation and repeating cutscenes are sooo Shity(((
make a xcom type warhammer game jesus
Xcom is based on Laser Squad which is based on... Space Hulk 1989 edition
Blah, blah, blah. No gameplay in this game.
