Relicnews @ THQ's Space Marine Community Event Compilation thread

[Someguy]

Disclaimer: THQ fed us and booked us a hotel to crash for the night over at a Sheraton next to their main office. This is pretty awesome since the drive from Orange County to Agoura Hills is a pain in Los Angeles traffic. We had a good time. I also burned my hand on hot coffee during breakfast.

THQ invited a number of community sites and individuals to come check out Relic's upcoming third-person action game, Space Marine.They are all awesome folks and I encourage to check out their sites.

There were other people there, but I didn't get a chance to get to know them. If you pick up a site that went to this event, please pm me and I'll add it.

The audio quality for the interview turned out to be pretty crappy (analog to digital doesn't work too well). If you still want me to put it up, I'll go ahead and do it.

Many thanks to THQ, especially Matt Everett and Simon Watt, and Relic's James McDermott for setting up this event and inviting Relicnews to the event.

This guy has a shitload of videos and interviews from the summit, very good too.

[Someguy]

Yeah those are Gerry's videos. thanks for the heads up.

[LongwoodGeek]

Thanks for linking to my vids guys! :D It is much appreciated! I finally got the multiplayer vidocs up and have a few more to come. What happened with your interview audio? What source are you going from?

Only sad thing about this is... Nothing like this ever happens in Australia. :(

[Someguy]

What happened with your interview audio? What source are you going from?


I was using an old analog tape recorder and the quality was pretty iffy at best. Lots of white noise.

[Ruined]

FYI it was my call to can singleplayer filming so you can flame me for it :)

I decided it would be a massive spoiler letting people film and upload from the content we showed. Especially as it was 2.5 hours of the game and between all attendees we would have probably ended up with all of it online in some shape or form.

There are a number of walkthrough videos on Gamespot, IGN, Giant Bomb etc which give an idea of what singleplayer is like without spoiling too much of the game for people who want to play it fresh.

[Pocktio]

As much as I'd sell my body for any scrap of new info I'd much rather see the story unspoilered so I enjoy it to the MAX.

Oh yes. Yes yes.

Jonathan Heier's recorded footage from the Space Marine Community Event is up on Stick Skill's Youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/StickSkills#p/u/1/5wfyv5kC8pE), in case anyone missed it.

[Someguy]

Thanks, I'll go ahead and update the list we have.

[Ruined]

That'd be me playing in the Stick Skills vid. Not my most exciting game as it was a defending the objective affair but at least i got to shoot sledgehammer (THQ1) :)

[Slade_Templar]

The demon-eye/stalker boltgun looks absolutely lethal. Looks like 3(4?) bursts will kill a tac marine. Am I going to be playing this just like I play Reach? lol

[Ruined]

I had a perk on which makes it fire in two shot bursts, if you hit them in the head about 3 bursts will do it. I'm a big Reach player so i like that gun a lot

[Slade_Templar]

Yea I saw the perk in the videos. I think I know what gun I'll be carrying when I play tactical! Gogo Bolter battle-rifle :D

Are the bolter rounds from the Stalker hit-scan? or do they have a flight time? Looks like hitscan, otherwise they just move ridiculously fast.
