So the current UAT patch has this game in a place where I feel confident saying that, if they don't gently caress it up in the next two weeks, it will be an enjoyable, but not overly long standing lobby shooter that you could probably do worse picking up on a GMG sale or what have you. Tomorrow that patch is going to live, and next week will be the last big launch system they're missing, which is loot. If loot isn't just a complete P2W clusterfuck or something like that, I'll write a nice meaty "Yo they actually made it, here's how" post before launch, and then make a thread in Games.

Yep. Their shootas are underpowered or bugged so they feel like poo poo at close ranged, and they're missing power klaw and shields, but they're in.

Shootas are apparently fixed in the UAT patch that should hit non founders servers today, and I believe orks get some non shield goodies in the progression tree to stave off no powerklaw or no shield madness.

They had a handful of Ork pieces which looked pretty good. Their head cosmetics guy said that what they showed was around half of the stuff for Chaos and all the rest of it would be in by launch or it's his rear end, so. :shrug:

So that patch is finally out. I'm going to stream a kind of not okay amount of it over here for a good portion of the day.


E: Alright not as much as I thought, their servers started dying real bad.

This happened though.

Those ork running animations are kinda uninspiring. It seems like they couldn't think of a good way to animate them and the top half and the bottom half move independently of each other.

The animations do look like poo poo, but orks were added pretty recently and they're releasing in 2 weeks. I'm guessing they basically just shat them out for lack of time. So maybe one day they'll improve.

They used to be infinitely worse. You think these are bad, you'd weep tears of blood at what they used to be.


E: In fact that's probably exactly the issue. The ork run used to have them wave their arms above their head like they were on fire or some kind of retard berzeker charge, and they seem to have just moved the arms down the waist without resyncing the animation.

The only chance you have of getting a refund is under the "it was supposed to be an MMO but they turned it into a lobby shooter".

Depending on what "over a year ago" means the game was announced not to be an MMO in June 2015 and they offered four months of refunds after that, so probably not.

Space Marine is a 8v8 game that can get away with melee combos and a more realistic sort of art style.

Eternal Crusade is a game where the minimum battle size is 20v20 and the larger battles are 32v32 (50v50 was in and is coming back in after they resolve the weird issues like "scoreboard in 50v50 causes the ram to spike up 1gb in a second and potentially crash the game"). Plus the art style is pretty different.

Also before anyone says "Space Marine had better graphics than this piece of poo poo", here's some quick comparisons.

Here's a Space Marine Nob :



Heres my nob :



Here's a steam store screenshot of the three multiplayer classes for Space Marine :



Here's a picture of default ultramarine with option gold boltgun.




Also they gave everyone interested fair warning about the changes in scope of the game from MMO 1000 PLAYER BATTLES FREE TO WAAAGH to "big battles no free to waaagh and continuously working on player count" both in the livestreams/site news and through the founders emails. They did everything fair and gave proper notification unlike poo poo like No Man's Sky.

This game just makes me really sad that we never got a proper Space Marine sequel. I loved the poo poo out of that game, the single player was a blast. I though it sold fairly well so I don't know why it hasn't happened.

I think a sequel to Space Marine hasn't happened because THQ went belly-up and Relic was bought by Sega and is busy making a their last game ever before being either dissolved or folded into another studio. That said Relic planned for Space Marine to be a trilogy.

Space Marine sold relatively poorly, actually. It was one of many of the figures contributing to the downward spiral of THQ.

I feel like Space Marine would have done well and been able to have a sequel (if its publisher wasn't dying, of course) if it game out like 5 years before. But by 2011 we'd already entered the era where there's AAA games with DLC and active multiplayer scenes and india games, with no room for a solid 7.5/10 hack 'n slash medium-tier B game.

Also it came out in the same month as Gears of War 3, the game which brought meathead humans fighting meathead aliens with chainsaws into the mainstream.

It's being developed by the studio behind E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy (one of my five favorite games released in the last 10 years) so I'm cautiously optimistic. They've said that if this does well, we'll get an EYE sequel.

I am also looking forward to vermintide in space. But the lack of gameplay videos so far makes my battle brothers testicles a bit nervous.

That said Eternal Crusade has been putting a lot into updating and adding content over the past months. If they put in the same effort post launch and focus on balance and gameplay, maybe we'll finally have that space marine sequel but with dedicated servers.

But will that really help Eternal Crusade at all? I can see that benefiting the console releases but when a PC game dies, it's loving dead. Free weekends and sales and humble bundles can revive them but unless they pull out some magical patch that they've been hiding from everybody for the past couple months, I can't even see even the 40K fans sticking around.

Despite everything, it has become a perfectly serviceable third person lobby shooter with a bunch of Warhammer poo poo no other shooter has had. The question is whether they can get enough stuff out to make it retain more than the two or three thousand regulars I'd expect. Given how drastically the game has changed in the last couple months, I'd venture it's a possibility, but I'm still not holding my breath for the metamap and stuff to be the second coming.

I don't understand why copying PS2 and slapping warhammer 40k skins on it is so complicated. They weren't being asked to invent the wheel here.

Orv
May 4, 2011
Ostensibly it isn't. The problem is that the guy who was originally in charge wanted to do it by using a tech that was unproven, and never really amounted to anything. The company that made it is pretty much dead now, and from looking around might have been basically dead when he was promising stuff. So he got the boot, and the game got refactored by the new bossman.

There's also the part where PS2 is a bad game that died for good reasons.

there are no games like planetside and the original planetside is over ten years old
