Licensed Computer Games Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II - Q3/Q4 2024

[Nephaston]

Roadmap time!

[Nephaston]

During September so called Twitch drops will be available.

 

To explain what twitch drops are, since I presume a good chunck of the people here might be unfamiliar: On the livestreaming website twitch.tv one can link their twitch account with their steam account (or other platform) to receive digital goods upon watching specific content. Usually this is either half an hour or an hour of somewhat active/tabbed in watching.

Entering the final stretch.

A cinematic trailer. And I think the first we see of a sorcerer in movement.

Big infodump before release.

And the last "meet the team".

Interview with Tim Willits, talking about a bit of everything from the original, over 40ks influence on other IPs, updates, and the video game industry: https://wccftech.com/warhammer-40k-space-marine-2-qa-with-tim-willits-we-have-a-game-that-will-exceed-expectations/

 

Main bit everyone clings to is of course the confirmation that new classes are planned, with the theories covering the usual, (terminators, chaplain, apothecaries, librarians) and even the concept of prestige classes.

I'm really excited about this game—it's one of the few I've been genuinely hyped about (not like there have been any major games that don't die after 1 month released recently...)

 

The perks are looking great, but the classes seem a bit too focused on close combat (the jump pack Assault marine, really dude, you give the guy something to fly with, and turn that into a mobile game like feature where its nahhhhh you can't actually fly, you just stay in the air for a bit then are forced to attack?). Though we might have something as cool as Helldivers 2 but with better management and an actual story mode.

 

Let's wait and see what this game does, best case scenario it's a hit (even for just a month), people discover the hobby of wasting your life savings on plastic super human blue soldiers and sniffing glue. I don't know about you guys but this would be a win lol. GW really do be had this planned out years prior:
<release show on warhammer+
<release games
<pay superman and get jeff bezos to make you movie/movies
<profit x1000000
It's not a corporation i adhere to and have a cult based on, but if they keep feeding us like this, I may start to.

(the jump pack Assault marine, really dude, you give the guy something to fly with, and turn that into a mobile game like feature where its nahhhhh you can't actually fly, you just stay in the air for a bit then are forced to attack?)

Well yeah, it's a JUMP pack, not a flight pack. But from what I can tell the jump and landing angles work out to a much further range than in the first game. Plus, with the perks assault just might be a perfect dodge monster, zipping left and right, gunstriking at every interval.

Now if the get something along the lines of prestige classes I could see something like an Inceptor-esque Assault, just jumping and hovering around with double assault bolter action.

 

In other news, there's another snippet of footage;

 

 

Oh me oh my they are quickfiring today. As mentioned previously if you watch SM2 streams (and in case of the pistol, gift-sub twice) you can get some skins. And this time we have an image.

 

I do love me some free bling.

Either way, don't feel rushed to watch a stream if you want to play the game for yourself first. the entire thing is available for the whole of september. (and probably at a later date, either as a bundle or as a repeat twitch drop down the line)

Review embargo lifted right now. Looking good so far.

It is time.

Inhaled the campaign Kirby style; Just some good old fashioned brotherin'. Some twists, some turns, some drama, some surprises, but nothing too risky. Also a good amount of memberberries from the first game.

[Marshal Reinhard]

I purged. It was good. I will purge more after hibernation and labor

[Marshal Rohr]

Greatest game I’ve played in years. I refused to expect anything good and was blown away. Haven’t been this happy since the baby was born, absolute generational game. 

[INKS]

Not my type of game. But it's beautiful art wise. I've been watching some people play PVP and if you are into PVP games that also look good fun. No idea about the story and stuff. I am sure at some point I'll watch a video on it. But I've heard nothing but good things about the game itself. If you like this type of game you should probably get it.

SM2 in a nutshell

 

I love this. I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.

[Deus_Ex_Machina]

There have been a lot of people whining all around the interwebz that SM2 has become too easy since the latest patch has been implemented. However a new difficulty mode will soon be introduced along with a new operation. This is scheduled for October this year. You might now wonder what to expect? Here is the answer:

I really, really hope the winged helmet isn't exclusive to the Bulwark class

[Marshal Reinhard]

It's the DA champion pack. You can't edit it at all and it only goes on the Bulwark. Ultra edition got an UM Heavy champion pack that works the same way.

[Deus_Ex_Machina]

The patch went live today. You can now play the seventh operation Termination and blast the Hierophant to kingdom come.
