GmanLives Yo dude, you gotta check out some mods for SM. A friend of mine in Russia has made a MP mod called SM Augmented it’s got some extra weapons and balancing. It’s still being updated tho
"...the sequel just never gonna see the light of day...", it's kinda of heartwarming to see this video now, knowing that this game IS getting a sequel.
@@pacivalmuller9333 Because a sequel has already been announced and is being worked on. They have a trailer for it. Captain Titus is back and he's back as a Primaris
The game says .95 or something ey? They are also the launched with the primer of a scifi equivalent of c4 that further speeds up due to gyro rocket things. An ultra smurf in one of the books does trick shots at 2000 metres.
Kind of sad, though. The Inquisition IRL was amazing. Unless you were a muslim or a jew, obviously. Then their appearance was the sign that the good times are over.
In 40k fluff there is something called post-human dread. Basically, ptsd aliens get after seeing space marines in action. And after playing Space Marine, you start to get why that is.
Fucking humans get post-angel-dread. There was one story, might have been fan fic idk, that the people got invaded by orks so they prayed for the emperors angels. The angels came. And turned every street into a torrent of wrecked greenskin flesh and blood. Every wall into cover or a flanking position and so rubble. Then they burned the rubble. They removed the green tide, and for that the people thank the emperor... and they pray He never sends them again. The Emperors angels of death.
@@TherealTenmanI tbf, in the comic the chapter that arrived were the black templars, the reaction would have probably been more not-terrified if the space wolves or salamanders showed up.
I seem to recall it being written as transhuman dread in the novels, but that's just me being picky. "Nothing human-shaped should be so fast, so lithe, so powerful, especially not anything in excess of two metres tall and carrying more armour than four normal men could lift. The sight of an Adeptus Astartes was one thing, but the moving fact of one was quite another. The psychologists called it transhuman dread. It froze a man, stuck him to the ground, caused his mind to lock up, made him lose control of bladder and bowel. Something huge and warlike gave pause: something huge and warlike and moving with the speed of a striking snake, that was when you knew that gods moved amongst men, and that there existed a scale of strength and speed beyond anything mortal, and that you were about to die and, if you were really lucking, there might be just enough time to piss yourself first."
oh so thats what PhD means. all the Orcs Get PhD after seeing space marines, no wonder they somehoow make broken vehicles/machinery get to work with their massive intellect, they have PhD after all
AydarBMSTU maybe it's a matter of opinion because I thought this looked a lot like Gears 4, the only real difference is, other than not taking cover in 40k, is the ability to tag enemies.
You can still find occasional Exterminatus (co-op) matches on PC. This game had such a fantastic presentation of making you feel like a giant super soldier. Every stomped foodstep and smashing attack just sounds and feels brutal.
Its funny that you mention the doomslayer, because everyone in the Wh40k universe is basically him. There's even an entire chapter of marines dedicated to killing demons.
Yo seriously, it was honestly so rare to see him get as gleeful as a little kid playing on “WTF is...” he was a big 40K fan so it was just hilarious but also wholesome to see him get so hyped playing it. Miss that glorious bastard
The sad thing is there was one planned. Titus was going to go through a whole arc of him losing control (though not much, he is an ultrasmurf after all) in the second game and culminating in him eventually creating his own chapter
Same, this was my gateway into the 40k universe. After only playing the game I decided to start buying minis, 5 years later my Blood Angel army is still growing and I am having a blast painting Magnus the Red.
A sequel would be awesome if they stuck to this formula and just improved immensely on the original game. Scalable exterminatus, kill team missions, and improved progression. I think it would do really well.
didn't even need to be a sequel, just put Warhammer 40k (insert race). then keep the same style, adjust movement accordingly and change the enemy and done
As someone who’s played the board game, read a few book and played multiple video games in the WH40k universe - charging headlong into the enemy and blowing half a mag on 1 kill is not what it means to be a space marine. Working as a team and laying down a constant and withering hail of bolter fire while dealing with any close quarter threat quickly and efficiently I would say better encapsulates what it means to be a Space Marine. For me, playing GoW on hoard mode was it. Working with teammates to cover all angles, hitting that perfect reload and wrecking tons of enemies before they even get close. Then being able to hold you’re ground with the executions. Only falling back once boss enemies show and then using experience and skill to kill your enemies greatest champion. Space Marine is still a great game tho. I really wish they’d make a sequel. :(
@@Inquisitor_Vex If you are Death Company thats the way you fight,but then again you can tear an Orks head off with your bare hands so its not such a bad idea...for nearly anyone else it is though

I just don't understand people who don't get that weapons in games need to "feel" good. Sound design is SUPER important and you almost depend on it completely to sell what you're seeing on the screen to the suspension of disbelief part of your brain. There's nothing worse than wimpy sounding weapons or big guns that have no subharmonic "boom" to them. I don't know, man. It just does something wonderful to your brain when you hear an awesome weapon sound. ;)

What i like about the Warhammer 40k universe is that you can play any of its games with no particular order, even if you dont follow the timeline or release date of each game, its enough that you understand the lore of the franchise.
Your not wrong. There are so many battles, so many massive wars in the 40k universe that each one is it's own campaign that could and has filled entire books. But That sheer massive aspect makes it easy for new people to jump right in. The biggest events, like the Horus Heresy happened some 10,000 years before the present of the franchise. And the newest big events, like the Indomitus Crusade are still happening. New fans can easily jump in and get the cliff notes or delve into the deep lore and novels if they want. I think it's one of the things that makes WH40k so accessible.
Your uploads genuinely enhance, and in some cases make my day. Good to see that even though there’s a lot of schlock on TH-cam, there are still quality content creators out there who put a lot of effort into their content. 👍🏽
me: this game looks cool also me: checks steam steam: 'you own this game' me: uh... huh.. time to download i guess? update: finished it :D it's quite cool.
It's a fun romp, not super long, but no filler either. You're constantly getting new toys, and the enemies have plenty of variety so they can keep up with you. Even the cutscenes are good, and not over long, I was never tempted to skip one
I love that your channel focuses on lost games of the past that no one really talks about anymore! The first video I watched of yours was the Manhunt retrospective and I was so happy to see someone out there still giving it the attention it deserves! The same can be said for Warhammer Space Marines, really and good times with that title. Wish I could revisit it if my Xbox 360 didn't die from the red ring of death and PS3 is just too old and poorly taken care of (cause I owned it when my brothers and I were little shits, haha) to work anymore. Glad to see someone mention it again and the memories I had with the title.
I played Space Marine 40k for thr first time 2 months back. Loved it, the one main thing i would change is screen wobble when sprinting. It's fun at first but makes you want to throw up after awhile
I remember playing this on PC at the time with friends at the Exterminatus or the regular multiplayer, it was good as hell: fun, quick and allowing for really hard coop because people were no joke at time, specially on the conquest mode.
Ever since Relic got bought out by Sega after THQ's bankruptcy that they've never been the same. I've heard a lot of flak about Company of Heroes 2, back in the day, too.
they gonna kill not only Dawn of war series but Age of Empires with AoE4 i wonder which rts they gonna ruin next - maybe shitty homeworld sequel or moba supreme commander 3
God I still want a sequel to this game. When I found out they had a sequel and threequel in the works and then canceled them....needless to say I was pissed off.
My brother bought me this game on ps3 for my birthday a couple of years back. Had no idea of what it was but now all I have are fond memories of it, it was awesome back then and it still looks just as awesome as I remember it. Gonna get it for the PC now and relive some memories! Great review Gman, as always.
Garviel loken Pretty sure Relic is still going, but they are focusing on real time strategy games now. An yeah the old THQ is gone, but Nordic games bought the THQ name. And a lot of their IP’s and changed their name to THQ Nordic, for example they recently released Darksiders 3 which was a THQ IP, and next year we will get SpongeBob battle for bikini bottom remake, and Destroy all Humans! Remake
I bought this back on sale a couple of months ago, played the fuck out of it ever since. I love blaring Sabaton whilst playing exterminatus, the heavy bolter slices them like butter.
Just downloaded off instant-gaming.com. Steam key is 95% off right now. Got it for $1.15. Loved the game on Xbox 360. I’d love to go back and replay it at 60fps on pc.
Keep in mind thought that instant-gaming.com is a key reseller, not an authorized retailer, so your money more than likely wont go towards supporting the developers.
This game was host to the greatest instance of tactical co-ordination I’ve ever had with a random Versus player. We were both using Heavy Bolters in Team Deathmatch (or whatever that mode was called). Our teamwork only lasted for a few minutes, but it turned the match around. We were so precise together, I made diagrams of most of the maneuvers we made. And I still have those MS Paint diagrams, I think. In other games, it’s rare to co-ordinate such fire and maneuver with my *friends.* And I’ve played with those folks for years. Hell, it’s rare to see that level of teamwork happen outside of e-sports. Yet this instance happened organically, with no mic chat, in a WH40k game.
I love this game. I usually have a save game going that I can jump into and play for a bit, then jump out and go onto something else. I've finished it several times but it's nice to hop in and purge filth for a while.
When I first played the game I couldn’t figure out how to do executions so I got through the entire game just using fury mode to replenish my health. Edit: Apparently I did it on easy mode. FUCK.
I’m painting a tactical squad of space marines right now as I’m watching this and boy does they Mark Strong voice acting vicariously breathe life into my plastic minions lol
It is a well paced, well voiced, well written story backed with an incredible, smooth, precise gameplay that puts to shame most of the modern games. Everything here just works.
I'm so hyped they're making a sequel... Can't wait, 40k has such an amazing lore and worlds that it's an absolute shame we don't have more games doing it justice
We get a crapload of games, many of them very good, I could name half a dozen off the top of my head, but they've really been stepping it up the past couple of years which is awesome
I remember playing this few years back I bought battlefield 3 and Homefront and Space marine I remember this being very fun but so hard i might've chosen a different difficulty option maybe but I definitely wanna try to game again and maybe learn what the universe is all about
I played this game years ago without knowing anything about 40k and was in love with the game. And the game made me curious about 40k lore. And the Bolto(e)r.... even in Warframe it became my favourite.
The sad thing is that the information we do know about Space Marine's sequels made it sound awesome. The second game was basically Titus going rogue, getting chased by the Inquisition and other factions while slowly gathering allies to his side. And the third game was going to be him building his own goddamn chapter out of those allies. Yeah, I'm not kidding.
Had a great time in this game, love 40k and it only took me 8 hours of playing to beat, that’s with me hunting like a madman for the ServoSkulls, great buy for around 7 bucks on sale
@@Breadnoughtcc TimeGate studios still provide great games after giving us the Non-canon F.E.A.R. expansion. It all went down with the combination of Aliens: Colonial Marines and the stupid lawsuit of developing second Section 8 game that costed them to close down.
@@Breadnoughtcc Not to mention, Section 8 Prejudice also released the same year with this game as well and received favorable from critic AND was also announcing the third sequel. But was all dead, thanks to the thief publisher bastard claiming the right during in 2013. Thus, the third game never occurs.
Yeah it was like Halo with some elements of Battlefield. Definitely underrated. Also did the whole parachute intro thing a lot of battle royales do way before anyone else.
@@Sifer2 Yeah, and the fucking scam publisher southpeak kill it everything with the lawsuit that ended timegate studios whole people career and never to be seen ever again.
I remember the commercial for this. How HYPED I was to play it just for the core gameplay, and the co-op, and custom music selection on PS3 (I think?). I had no idea what W40k was, but I loved what I saw. But that was so long ago... soon I'll have to give it a try.
I fucking hate the Ultramarine chapter, but goddamn do I love Captain Titus. My favorite qualities he has: he shows respect to the IG Lt, not because he has to, but because she's a fellow combat veteran who's holding her shit together, and, he's already killing orks when the main menu loads up. What a legend. I still remember while they were developing this, the devs wanted to call the kill animations "cinemaction." So glad that shit never caught on.
I remember buying this for the ps3 and loving everything about played alot of multiplayer and my dad bought the drednought dlc for it and we was hyped but couldnt find a single game
It's a goddamned shame that the two planned sequels were put into production/finished, the team who made it really wanted to finish their story that they planned to cover 3 games.
This was hands down one of the best action games I've ever played. Not just because I'm a WH40K geek, but because it IS a good game. I enjoyed it so much on Xbox that I wanted to get all the achievements I could (not counting multiplayer), even that darn frustrating one, where you have to finish first chapter in Hard, without ever dying... :P I mean the fight near the end and that train section where you could die with 1 single mistake... after that achievement popped, my hands were shaking. Not many games can achieve that. This was one of them, with Xcom 1 being the other when I completed that Iron Man achievement also on Xbox. I really should play these again.
I wish there would be a sequel to this game. It was so good. Definitely had issues with pacing. Like why am I not using the jet pack and hammer more often? Those were the most fun parts of the game.
Me and my friends had hours of fun with this game, and particularly me. I loved it so much and every time I see media coverage (i.e TH-cam videos) of the game it makes me sad that we’ll probably never see another 40k game of this quality ever again. R.I.P THQ, you could have done us great if you had the chance...😭😭
This game turned 8 years old yesterday and it still a title that holds up to this day, while being a better shooter than most new releases. A shame it was left in Limbo
I used to watch this digital artist on TH-cam who would paint *Warhammer* commissions. It is indeed a very complex universe, especially when you dive in visually. He produced some great art, but he always worked zoomed out such that the entire painting filled the screen. He said it was so he could take in everything at once. Cool, but if you hoped to observe any technique, it was pretty much confined to an 8-pixel square area at any given time. He has since moved on to better things, bless his heart.
@@jacobleukus6930 yes I can not wait to play the unexpected sequel to this game. In the last year or so I have seen so many titles with the 40K slapped on it it makes me wonder if they even know what they are making half the time
@@astraldragon01 dude I know, it’s some real low effort stuff. This whole past year has been rough for gaming but it looks like we have some really great stuff coming out soon
I pickedd this up a couple years ago, knowing very little about 40k myself but interested in the gameplay videos I saw of it. Boy was I glad that I did, such good fun to be had.
Thank you so much for talking about this underrated gem. My older brother and I played this on the Xbox 360 all the time, and we're huge fans of the original RTS games. While he was 13 and I was 11 when we were playing through it, we entered being huge fans of the Dawn of War games (Mainly from playing the Dark Crusade demo over and over), and I was wondering if you'd ever cover it. I'm glad you did take a look at it, partly because I, too hope for a sequel.
Whenever I got a meltagun or lasgun, I didn’t carefully save it for tough enemies that may come later, I fired them off whenever I had living targets because they were so damn fun to use
Ya know I actually remember this game promoting another 40K game, back in the xbox 360 days. It was Kill Team, a fun little solo and coop top down shooter. Recommend checking it out.
Minor note, the standard bolter is not called a bolt rifle just bolter. the bolt rifle is a newer thing for the 2nd gen space marines known as the primaris.
Completely spot on review. No unnecessary systems or exploration, just good old-fashioned, straightforward gameplay with SUPER satisfying combat. It also still looks fantastic with cool design and art direction - combine that with the fact that's now super easy to run at 144fps and high resolutions, and that it can be picked up for peanuts (if you haven't already got it for free in your steam library and forgot about it!) and you have the perfect recipe for an AA gem. Could never get into Gears of War, but I'm loving this for some reason.

For me, playing GoW on hoard mode was it. Working with teammates to cover all angles, hitting that perfect reload and wrecking tons of enemies before they even get close. Then being able to hold you’re ground with the executions. Only falling back once boss enemies show and then using experience and skill to kill your enemies greatest champion.

also me: checks steam
steam: 'you own this game'
me: uh... huh.. time to download i guess?
update: finished it :D it's quite cool.
yea, it was free on humble bundle for a bit
@@vibrid2810 yeah that was my assumption lol
It's a fun romp, not super long, but no filler either. You're constantly getting new toys, and the enemies have plenty of variety so they can keep up with you. Even the cutscenes are good, and not over long, I was never tempted to skip one
Fuck. That's my whole life right there.
Same exact thing happened to me lol
I love that your channel focuses on lost games of the past that no one really talks about anymore! The first video I watched of yours was the Manhunt retrospective and I was so happy to see someone out there still giving it the attention it deserves! The same can be said for Warhammer Space Marines, really and good times with that title. Wish I could revisit it if my Xbox 360 didn't die from the red ring of death and PS3 is just too old and poorly taken care of (cause I owned it when my brothers and I were little shits, haha) to work anymore. Glad to see someone mention it again and the memories I had with the title.
I played Space Marine 40k for thr first time 2 months back. Loved it, the one main thing i would change is screen wobble when sprinting. It's fun at first but makes you want to throw up after awhile
I remember playing this on PC at the time with friends at the Exterminatus or the regular multiplayer, it was good as hell: fun, quick and allowing for really hard coop because people were no joke at time, specially on the conquest mode.
Well after the tragedy that was DoW 3, relic's streak of good games is now broken.
Ever since Relic got bought out by Sega after THQ's bankruptcy that they've never been the same. I've heard a lot of flak about Company of Heroes 2, back in the day, too.
they gonna kill not only Dawn of war series but Age of Empires with AoE4 i wonder which rts they gonna ruin next - maybe shitty homeworld sequel or moba supreme commander 3
Dregomz02 a Homeworld sequel is being announced at the end of the month
@@CameronAB122 Homeworld is in Gearbox's hands, guess we can say goodbye to good Homeworld game
Mr Vex what happened with DOW3 specifically?
Say what you want about Robot Girlyman - but he would have stomped on Leandros like the bug he is.

Hippity Hoppity where’s my property? Ah-La Blood Ravens Style.
Evan Ferguson hippity hoopity IT IS OUR PROPERTY
First video I thought about when I saw this!
Sieze the means of gifting for our chapter, battle brothers.
I've come here to purge heretics and steal property-- and I've already stolen your property, SO LET'S DO THIS.
God I still want a sequel to this game. When I found out they had a sequel and threequel in the works and then canceled them....needless to say I was pissed off.
Canceled no more.
"I came here to do two things and two things only; Purge heretics and steal property, i have already stole your property, so let's do this..."

My brother bought me this game on ps3 for my birthday a couple of years back. Had no idea of what it was but now all I have are fond memories of it, it was awesome back then and it still looks just as awesome as I remember it. Gonna get it for the PC now and relive some memories! Great review Gman, as always.
Wish THQ Nordic could get the license and make a sequel with Relic Entertainment
JacobOlli I thought relic/THQ were gone?
that would be great, but I would prefer that THQ Nordic gets the license and has a GOOD dev team making the sequel.
Garviel loken Pretty sure Relic is still going, but they are focusing on real time strategy games now.
An yeah the old THQ is gone, but Nordic games bought the THQ name. And a lot of their IP’s and changed their name to THQ Nordic, for example they recently released Darksiders 3 which was a THQ IP, and next year we will get SpongeBob battle for bikini bottom remake, and Destroy all Humans! Remake
DrIvanRadosivic13 Who would you like to make a sequel?
i don't have my hopes up because thq nordic is made out of epic games shills and all they are gonna do is ruin the franchise
This is one of the most overlooked games ever. It's actually a bucket of epic, gory, brainless fun. I'm super pleasantly surprised you covered it!
I bought this back on sale a couple of months ago, played the fuck out of it ever since.
I love blaring Sabaton whilst playing exterminatus, the heavy bolter slices them like butter.
There's a metal band called Bolter Thrower too, heavily influenced by W40K.
Have you checked out Space Hulk: Deathwing?
@@sampsonlll1825 have played Deathwing, it's a bit slow paced but it makes me anxious whenever I go through a door.
God knows what awaits me
Inquisitor Drogan seriously reminds me of Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element...
I didn't even know there was a WH4k hack-n-slash third person shooter. Adding this to my wishlist, will pick up on sale.
Tons of fun! They somehow made a third person shooter blend really well with a melee brawler
Just downloaded off instant-gaming.com. Steam key is 95% off right now. Got it for $1.15. Loved the game on Xbox 360. I’d love to go back and replay it at 60fps on pc.
www.instant-gaming.com/en/54-buy-key-steam-warhammer-40000-space-marine/
Keep in mind thought that instant-gaming.com is a key reseller, not an authorized retailer, so your money more than likely wont go towards supporting the developers.
TubeChaser Thanks for the info, I had no idea. I’ve never bought anything from there until today, I’ll keep that in mind.
This game was host to the greatest instance of tactical co-ordination I’ve ever had with a random Versus player. We were both using Heavy Bolters in Team Deathmatch (or whatever that mode was called). Our teamwork only lasted for a few minutes, but it turned the match around. We were so precise together, I made diagrams of most of the maneuvers we made. And I still have those MS Paint diagrams, I think.
In other games, it’s rare to co-ordinate such fire and maneuver with my *friends.* And I’ve played with those folks for years. Hell, it’s rare to see that level of teamwork happen outside of e-sports. Yet this instance happened organically, with no mic chat, in a WH40k game.
The Blood Angels and their Successor chapters (mostly the Flesh Tearers) *LOVE* to rip and tear.
One of the most heroic legions has a chapter named "The flesh tearers" Thats how dark 40K is!
*Laughs (cries) in Lamenters*
Can we get an F in the chat for our Lamenter bois? They struggling out there man.
@@omarabe26
Poor lamenters, they don't deserve the crap they always go through.

Jovan Mitrić
Haw.
Imperial Fists and Slamanders for life bro.
Fuck Leandros lol
I love this game. I usually have a save game going that I can jump into and play for a bit, then jump out and go onto something else. I've finished it several times but it's nice to hop in and purge filth for a while.
When I first played the game I couldn’t figure out how to do executions so I got through the entire game just using fury mode to replenish my health.
Edit: Apparently I did it on easy mode. FUCK.
No flex, right?
I’m painting a tactical squad of space marines right now as I’m watching this and boy does they Mark Strong voice acting vicariously breathe life into my plastic minions lol
It is a well paced, well voiced, well written story backed with an incredible, smooth, precise gameplay that puts to shame most of the modern games. Everything here just works.
I'm so hyped they're making a sequel... Can't wait, 40k has such an amazing lore and worlds that it's an absolute shame we don't have more games doing it justice
We get a crapload of games, many of them very good, I could name half a dozen off the top of my head, but they've really been stepping it up the past couple of years which is awesome
Captain Titus: does anything
Leandros: "sPaCe bOoK sAyS tHiS bAd!"
Well I can't read
I remember playing this few years back I bought battlefield 3 and Homefront and Space marine I remember this being very fun but so hard i might've chosen a different difficulty option maybe but I definitely wanna try to game again and maybe learn what the universe is all about
FOR THE EMPEROOOOORRRRRRR
Those "your mom" surprises are becoming on another level, you're advancing the art.
I played this game years ago without knowing anything about 40k and was in love with the game. And the game made me curious about 40k lore. And the Bolto(e)r.... even in Warframe it became my favourite.
It's called a Bolter. Not Boltor.
@@Guciom Oh yeah, but still. I didnt notice the difference while playing so the feeling is still the same and the weapon punch.
@@brunomagalhaes7429 well, in warframe, the boltor fires, well bolts, while in 40k the bolter fires water bottle sized,rocket propelled grenades
Just bought this game again on steam haven't played it on pc but man its so fun after all these years
The sad thing is that the information we do know about Space Marine's sequels made it sound awesome. The second game was basically Titus going rogue, getting chased by the Inquisition and other factions while slowly gathering allies to his side. And the third game was going to be him building his own goddamn chapter out of those allies. Yeah, I'm not kidding.
:)
Had a great time in this game, love 40k and it only took me 8 hours of playing to beat, that’s with me hunting like a madman for the ServoSkulls, great buy for around 7 bucks on sale
Wish, you will do review for the Section 8 and Section 8 Prejudice in the future.
Wow I didn't even know anyone still remembered or cared about those games.
@@Breadnoughtcc
TimeGate studios still provide great games after giving us the Non-canon F.E.A.R. expansion. It all went down with the combination of Aliens: Colonial Marines and the stupid lawsuit of developing second Section 8 game that costed them to close down.
@@Breadnoughtcc
Not to mention, Section 8 Prejudice also released the same year with this game as well and received favorable from critic AND was also announcing the third sequel. But was all dead, thanks to the thief publisher bastard claiming the right during in 2013. Thus, the third game never occurs.
Yeah it was like Halo with some elements of Battlefield. Definitely underrated. Also did the whole parachute intro thing a lot of battle royales do way before anyone else.
@@Sifer2
Yeah, and the fucking scam publisher southpeak kill it everything with the lawsuit that ended timegate studios whole people career and never to be seen ever again.
The part with blood Ravens and a the canon. Fond memories
Drogen looks like your normal Inquisitor to me when i played it
drogen just spent to much time playing mcr in his bed room
That chainsword sound - pure joy, only just beaten out by the one in inquisitor martyr - either the one hander or the 2 hand eviserator
If they ever make a sequel to this genre instead of real time strategy. I'll will buy it.
I think they tried with Space Hulk:Deathwing
@@KaiserAfini
Space Hulk: Deathwing had nothing to do with that. It just features Mulitplayer only and with no story link whatsoever.
eternal crusade felt like a spiritual successor to the multiplayer but it uh didn't turnout so great
I remember the commercial for this. How HYPED I was to play it just for the core gameplay, and the co-op, and custom music selection on PS3 (I think?). I had no idea what W40k was, but I loved what I saw. But that was so long ago... soon I'll have to give it a try.
1:48 That's some heresy right there.
The sound. It's the most fantastic aspect in this game. The voice acting, weapons sounds, the sound of the power armor and the AMAZING soundtrack!
This is a game I've been begging for a sequel for.. I wonder if THQ Nordic could give it a go.
Loved the multiplayer too.
I think Sega owns the IP, not sure though
@@JacobOlli Probably, but Sega is known for burying IPs ... Including the potential gems.
I heard the company for this game went bankrupt thus destroying hope of their confirmed 2 sequels that were planned.
I fucking hate the Ultramarine chapter, but goddamn do I love Captain Titus. My favorite qualities he has: he shows respect to the IG Lt, not because he has to, but because she's a fellow combat veteran who's holding her shit together, and, he's already killing orks when the main menu loads up. What a legend.
I still remember while they were developing this, the devs wanted to call the kill animations "cinemaction." So glad that shit never caught on.
THE EMPEROR TOOK ANOTHER SOUL, THIS IS JUST GLORIOUS
I remember buying this for the ps3 and loving everything about played alot of multiplayer and my dad bought the drednought dlc for it and we was hyped but couldnt find a single game
It's a goddamned shame that the two planned sequels were put into production/finished, the team who made it really wanted to finish their story that they planned to cover 3 games.
This was hands down one of the best action games I've ever played. Not just because I'm a WH40K geek, but because it IS a good game. I enjoyed it so much on Xbox that I wanted to get all the achievements I could (not counting multiplayer), even that darn frustrating one, where you have to finish first chapter in Hard, without ever dying... :P I mean the fight near the end and that train section where you could die with 1 single mistake... after that achievement popped, my hands were shaking. Not many games can achieve that. This was one of them, with Xcom 1 being the other when I completed that Iron Man achievement also on Xbox.
I really should play these again.
2:19 I watch a decent amount of 40k channels and have no idea what he's alluding to
Yup that riled me up a bit too
Fritz probably onemind syndicate
I got a sealed collector's edition of this game on ebay for $13. One of the coolest special editions for unbelievably cheap. I love this game
A PICTCAST WORTHY OF THE EMPEROR'S LIGHT!
Really underrated game. Positively surprised by of it. Alas as it is said, no sequel seems to be on the verge of seeing the light of day.
lol
This Game is really a gem. A pity they havent made a Second one yet.
And there won't be...
3:20
The Orks are actually arguably the least dickish out of all the 40K factions. Tells you something about the franchise.
I wish there would be a sequel to this game. It was so good. Definitely had issues with pacing. Like why am I not using the jet pack and hammer more often? Those were the most fun parts of the game.
I got good news for you.
I had so much damn fun playing this game and owning everyone with the Vengeance Launcher with dedicated WH 40K fans. Good memories.
Me and my friends had hours of fun with this game, and particularly me. I loved it so much and every time I see media coverage (i.e TH-cam videos) of the game it makes me sad that we’ll probably never see another 40k game of this quality ever again. R.I.P THQ, you could have done us great if you had the chance...😭😭
The multiplayer is still active actually, you just have to play during peak times and in the "seize geound" playlist.
Review Death Wing and Space Hulk too, both are equally badass.
he did review it
This game turned 8 years old yesterday and it still a title that holds up to this day, while being a better shooter than most new releases. A shame it was left in Limbo
Gman, let the Holy Emperor bless your soul cuz this exquisite 40K review.
Love your pfp.
I used to watch this digital artist on TH-cam who would paint *Warhammer* commissions. It is indeed a very complex universe, especially when you dive in visually. He produced some great art, but he always worked zoomed out such that the entire painting filled the screen. He said it was so he could take in everything at once. Cool, but if you hoped to observe any technique, it was pretty much confined to an 8-pixel square area at any given time. He has since moved on to better things, bless his heart.
I did love this game and it was glorious and always worth the replay. I would pay good money for a new one
I come from the future to say get your wallet ready
@@jacobleukus6930 yes I can not wait to play the unexpected sequel to this game. In the last year or so I have seen so many titles with the 40K slapped on it it makes me wonder if they even know what they are making half the time
@@astraldragon01 well at least in this one case it seems they do. Fingers crossed
@@astraldragon01 dude I know, it’s some real low effort stuff. This whole past year has been rough for gaming but it looks like we have some really great stuff coming out soon
I pickedd this up a couple years ago, knowing very little about 40k myself but interested in the gameplay videos I saw of it. Boy was I glad that I did, such good fun to be had.
Still waiting for that sequel we will never get... :(
Same
Thank you so much for talking about this underrated gem. My older brother and I played this on the Xbox 360 all the time, and we're huge fans of the original RTS games. While he was 13 and I was 11 when we were playing through it, we entered being huge fans of the Dawn of War games (Mainly from playing the Dark Crusade demo over and over), and I was wondering if you'd ever cover it. I'm glad you did take a look at it, partly because I, too hope for a sequel.
Reporting from 2021, WE HAVE A SEQUEL COMING!
Whenever I got a meltagun or lasgun, I didn’t carefully save it for tough enemies that may come later, I fired them off whenever I had living targets because they were so damn fun to use
15:57 wrong
Ya know I actually remember this game promoting another 40K game, back in the xbox 360 days. It was Kill Team, a fun little solo and coop top down shooter. Recommend checking it out.
Awesome game. legit the only Warhammer 40K shooter that I truly like. Too bad the game didn't sell well enough to warrant a sequel. Apparently.
THQ had plans for a sequel, but then they ate a dick and died.
Minor note, the standard bolter is not called a bolt rifle just bolter. the bolt rifle is a newer thing for the 2nd gen space marines known as the primaris.
Please review knights of the temple, I really wanna hear perspective
Completely spot on review. No unnecessary systems or exploration, just good old-fashioned, straightforward gameplay with SUPER satisfying combat. It also still looks fantastic with cool design and art direction - combine that with the fact that's now super easy to run at 144fps and high resolutions, and that it can be picked up for peanuts (if you haven't already got it for free in your steam library and forgot about it!) and you have the perfect recipe for an AA gem. Could never get into Gears of War, but I'm loving this for some reason.
