    Space Marine 3rd person...noooot what I was expecting?

    http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3...-40-000/715489

    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.

    Buying games you aren't going to play is a waste of money (no matter how cheap they are). Forcing yourself to play games you wish you hadn't bought is a waste of time. Both are best avoided.

    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.

    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.

    [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.
