I am quietly really excited for this to come out. The original space marine was such a fun game. Honestly even if this just plays like a doom eternal reskin, it would still be a 7.5/10 for me.

Yeah I feel kinda the same, it doesn't need to be anything more than a very competent TPS action game for me to be satisfied.

Honestly you saying TPS just opened my third eye to what that genre of games even is… I loved gears of war

Oh, I'm glad something good came out of me doing that annoying internet thing of using an abbreviation without explaining what it means (for which I apologize).

It's kinda funny to call Space Marine a TPS since while, technically, it is, you kinda spend 60% of the time mashing the melee button, which is very much not doing the "S" part.

It did take me a second to realise it was “third person shooter” but the context made it easy to decipher!

Funny on the melee thing too, that’s how I feel about DOOM now. You spend it all in melee range and since melee heals you..

I’m going to be able to cut down swathes of ‘nids with a heavy bolter so it’s gonna be at least an 9/10 for me. I just wish they’d let me play as a death company, I’m sick of Ultramarines.

From the videos and knowing the developer, it's going to be more like World War Z but with cinematic finishers.

I do hope it's as fun as the first, but I'm concerned about Saber Interactive being the devs instead of Relic.
