Is this (1) the game that everyone's talking about (e.g. GoW rip off etc etc) and (2) the actualy camera view for this game?!

I was under the impression it was an over the shoulder action game.

That appears to be a (mislabeled) gameplay demo of Warhammer 40K: Kill Team, which is an isometric action game.

And all is right with the world again :).

Actually a 40K version of Gauntlet has a certain appeal, if that's what this is. I wasn't aware of the game before. I hope it makes it to PC, looks like it'd be good for a bit of brainless co-op arcadey fun.

That looks rather... arcadey

I think that's because it's an arcade game (or at least the home console equivalent, being on XBLA and PSN rather than a full-price retail title).

I meant it seems like a very odd choice to license. Just a tad weird.

Now I've scared myself into thinking that Capcom might want to have space marines in the next street fighter vs.... *shudder*

Actually, that would be pretty funny.

"K.O!"

[Random personal bugbear]That isn't isometric. Hell, it isn't even from the angle that people traditionally associate with isometric.

But it's not for PC :(


It does look rather fun though, even if the person playing it seems rather inept at aiming.

The first splash of gameplay I saw was from the angle traditionally associated with isometric titles, I only noticed the moving camera after I posted. My apologies, I have my own pet peeves of that nature so I completely understand.

[Random personal bugbear] Space Marine has always been 3rd person.

That's not what OP was confused about.
