THQ showed offWarhammer 40,000: Space Marineonce again but this time the demo wasn’t playable. It was a lot more polished visually comparedto what I saw last time, otherwise I won’t reiterate much since you’re able to simply read my last preview. The basic is that you’re a super powered solider and combat is pretty seamless between the third-person shooting and melee action.
DeveloperRelic Entertainmentdid at least show off a one new thing: jetpacks! The Space Marines were able to equip jetpacks in the particular level being shown off and saw the main character flying around to get to enemies located higher up in the level.
You can expectWarhammer 40,000: Space Marineto be released September 6 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. There’s going be a collector’s edition you can pick up as well which will include a 10″ replica Purity Seal, hardback art book, soundtrack and 25 foiled character information cards. The CE version of the game will run $79.99.
