Licensed Computer Games [Video game] Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

[Master Commander Ajax]

Any news on how much this will cost? I haven’t been interested in any GW video games for quite a while but I may have to grab this. I'm particularly happy that they’ve gone with an original Marine in MKVI armour.

I'm seeing £17.99 on the psn store

I may have to actually buy a modern console for this, my last was an Xbox 360 just for Skyrim. Also very impressed  by his painting!

I think i am going to enjoy this when i get the digital version on console. 

[Burni]

I do love the look of this game. Do these boomer shooters tend to have high difficulty? I'm not even half the gamer I once was and don't usually enjoy banging my head against a wall in games anymore.

They can vary in difficulty, but a good chunk of them have difficulty selection.

[Mmmmm Napalm]

At $20 + 10% off the pre order I had to bite the bullet and pick it up on steam. Mechanically it seems solid from the dev playthrough of the first two levels posted on Aurochs YT channel. Hopefully it's decently long with replay value. Apparently at the beginning there is a character select, so it is possible you can unlock several different marines from various chapters, ideally with slight gameplay differences.

I'm impressed my Mr Kohli's painting, for only having started in '22. Those Ultramarines look great.

Better than mine. He's had coaching from the Play On team though. They have a YouTube series seeing him through to his first game as a newbie.

[Nephaston]

Good shout about the gameplay from the devs. It even includes the confirmation that there will be a difficulty selection for @Burni

I actually got to play this at Warhammer Fest, and I can confirm that it is indeed as fun as it looks.

 

I actually pre-ordered the game the minute I got home.

[ZeroWolf]

So something I learned today:

Spoiler

This game is apparently related to the first space marine game, with Titus being name dropped.

Apologies if it was already known.

I imagine this will be set in the final stages of the laat game when the rest of the Ultramarine force show up to meet the chaos uprising.

[Kastor Krieg]

The trailer's last sentence says this explicitly :)

[Vermintide]

You play as a beakie marine.

 

Above all else, that shows the devs get it. I have faith.

This came up on my chrome feed this morning:

https://www.eurogamer.net/i-didnt-realise-boomer-shooter-warhammer-40000-boltgun-is-a-sequel-to-2011s-space-marine

 

Extract from article:

 

It turns out Boltgun, like Space Marine, is set on Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World Graia. Apparently the silly old Ad Mech are running experiments that have - shock horror! - blown up in their face and spawned a Chaos invasion. Whoops!

Step forward, or stomp forward, perhaps, Ultramarines veteran Malum Caedo, voiced by Rahul Kohli. Caedo battles to contain the Chaos horde while giving praise to Captain Titus' exploits on Graia.

 

Can't verify how accurate or not that is, but it's something extra.

Good for him. I follow him on Instagram, he's a massive nerd. Good in Midnight Mass too

Couldnt help but think of him as one of the Degrassi kids, but agreed he was good in Midnight Mass.

[Phantomworks]

I am curious about an earlier comment you can choose your character... Has this been confirmed?

There is a codex astartes button! 10/10 Guilliman approved.

[Marshal Reinhard]

It's out now on steam, and by the Emperor it is glorious.

 

Played some three levels so far (though first one is so short it could be debated wether it was more like two.)

 

Got a fairly new PC so needless to say it runs perfectly.

[System Sound]

The few reviewers I follow, all praise the game. Seems like we finally got another good Warhammer game.

[bushman101]

Is this a download only thing?

[shows age]   I'd prefer a physical copy.  [/shows age]

Dear Emperor, this game is glorious! I've only gone through a couple of the levels so far, but, it is an aboslute blast. Feels very "Rogue Trader" to me, which is probably due to the Retro aesthetic, playing as a Beakie Marine, and the sheer batcrap craziness of it all. I love it!

Uh...

 

I dunno when the last time you interacted with gaming on PCs was, but there haven't been physical copies of PC game releases for like over a decade now.
