I’m not a big fan of the art style, but the game looks interesting.

WTF is ED-209 doing here?

Looks cool. Hate the overused fadeout techniques though.

If they’re hosting it all online would they even need a publisher?? Wouldn’t Steam be enough?

I think I saw someone with one of these in Streatham last week.

Ooooh
Definitely points for creativity.
Points for landsharks as well, which is something most RPS users seem to agree on.

Please keep posting about this game

Those sharks are creepy as hell. It gives me a serious AvP marine campaign vibe.

I really liked the way the presented this, let´s hope the gameplay is solid.

Also: shark-cat-monster thingies AND mechs? Count me in! :-)

I hope other developers will go that way in showing off their goodies that way. I’d like something like that for Dawn of War’s next installment, Chaos Rising. I want to walk around a gothicky Remembrance Chamber, presumably on Meridian, with the Blood Ravens frozen in suitably heroic poses, fighting the Emperor’s enemies, complete with unreliable spluttering holograms (Imperial technology, if the Machine Spirit is not pleased, your picture will be grainy). Does anything of what I just typed make any sense?

Hmm, leaving aside the doubts you all seem to have against an indie shooter with legsharks and a very generic name – I think this vault presentation thing is very very good. The frozen holograms of the Marines, the mech and the sharks combined with the audio snippets really make it seem like a futuristic museum exhibit, like something that you could gape at and walk through in the Imperial War Museum (Marineris Valley Branch) in, oh, 2038. Has anyone gone into that side alcove where you can look at another small group of Marines frozen in a split-second during a firefight? For some reason, the whole Vault gives me goosebumps.

There’s apparently (apparently in that I experienced it) an issue with OSX and the currently used version (or is it the latest version) of unity which results in the models to look transparent.

At least it isn’t Starship Troopers

Am I the only one that thinks ‘Interstellar Marines’ is the most generic title for a game imaginable?
