Space Marine 2 Gameplay Overview Trailer [FULL REACTION + BREAKDOWN]

[@Ddarth_sidious]

I agree with you completely, this could be just THE perfect 40k game, and it RIGHTLY captures the scale of warzone in our favorite grim dark universe. It's all here: gigantic orbital battles, millions of hordes of enemies of the Golden Throne, giant armies of the Guard and PDF forces, Tech-Priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus supporting the equipment/gear and of course His Angels of Death at holy work, better than they have ever looked. I was a little worried about the variety of Tyranid bioforms based on the first gameplay trailers, now they have dispelled all doubts - here you have all types of Horma/Termagant (and gargoyles), melee and ranged Warriors strains, Raveners and Lictors, Swarmguards (mb mini carnifexes), spores and Hive Tyrant. They nailed it. In the shot with the hangar (where there is a group of spacemarines, repulsor tanks and redemptor dreadnoughts) I see two veterans of the honor guard. Can we hope for the presence of Marneus Calgar in the game or at least for a small cameo of Roboute Guilliman or Magnus the Red?) I would be more than happy to see any more named characters beside Sevastus Acheran and our boy Titus (maybe a cameo of -Lieutenant- GENERAL Mira). And at least ONE shot of the Titan fighting hordes of tyranids carnifexes/hierophants in the distance. The game is already looking 12 out of 10. If it has a high level of optimization so that it works adequately on the previous generation of video cards, this game will go down in the annals of the history of Warhammer 40k games. They make the Emperor proud of their work. Congrats. P. S. I hope the Boltgun sternguard marine Malum Caedo (his name is "I kill evil" from Latin lol) will make a cameo in this game, the guy clearly was a big supporter of our boy Titus based on his taunts xD

[@garmonplays]

bro you are absolutely spot on on everything, I did remeber seeing rumors that Guilliman would make an appearance in the campaign mode, and hopefully they will include some of the major characters like calgar or sicarrius in the co-op or pvp mode. The game does truly look amazing, and the developer team have put in an amazing effort. Let me know what legion is your favorite, we might have to face off against each other in pvp mode 😁

[@Ddarth_sidious]

​@@garmonplays I like "vanilla" stuff like Ultramarines but I doubt my old GTX 1080 could handle this gorgeous game. I respect lore wise many loyalist legions (White Scars were AMAZING during Horus Heresy and siege of terra, Blood Angels are freaking martyrs, Raven Guard had gigachad like Nykona Sharrowkyn and many chaos/traitors legions had amazing characters like Ahriman, Kharn, Argel Tal, and the best of the best was loyalists from trairots legions like our bros: Garviel Loken, Nataniel Garro (the Emperor KNOWS his name!), Barabas Dantioch, Bartusa Narek etc etc - their glory is eternal. Lore wise I like ultramarines the most (if I was in 40k heaven forbid) they one of the best/most effective legions: The Ultramarines, since the Great Crusade, had one feature - they brought worlds to Complience like no other legion (maybe the Word Bearers, but they did not “cope with the schedule”, spending too much time on 1 world) - the Ultramarines rebuilt what was destroyed, ensuring that new worlds would blossom within months/years, leaving behind an enlightened, contented local population that did not feel defeated or harbor anger at the invaders. On the contrary, the population brought to Imperial Compliance precisely by the 13th quickly became exemplary in all respects and accepted the ideals of the Imperial Truth with open hands. They not only captured worlds, but also captured the minds and souls of local residents, filling them with new ideals, hopes for the bright future and goals. This is the talent of the 13th and their primarch, the talent of organizers and conquerors, the talent of the creators of Empires populated by happy (to the extent accessible to the 40k) and productive people. Remember what the kingdom of Ultramar was like before the Heresy? The jewel in the Emperor's crown, the planets are wonderful places to live, with efficient production, a strong economy and labor productivity, advanced science and culture + their living standards and quality of life was very high. The population of these worlds wanted to see the Emperor's dream and worked tirelessly to make it come true. The Ultramarines left behind a motivated (not broken) population, people who wanted to rise to the top, to create worlds worthy of the Emperor and Humanity, worlds and systems with sustainable development, competent organization and limitless prospects; worlds on which to live would be an honor in itself, and to die defending them would be a reward and a virtue. It is believed that the Realm of Ultramar and the worlds brought into Compliance by the Ultramarines were the closest to the Emperor's vision of what the Imperium of Man should be. Since the 8th edition, Guilliman is truly a gift to humanity and an example of the ideal regent-Emperor, effectively investing dwindling resources in the most “distressed” sectors/categories of the Imperium. He doesn’t sleep, but plows like a slave on the galleys 24/365 and takes the rap for the entire Imperium. Even if he was a “grand piano from the bushes” (although he actually helped organize everything 10k years ago), he delayed the Forces of Chaos for centuries, restored the bleeding orders, carried out the Indominus Crusade (giving a respite so important for the Imperium), saved whoever he could (from the people who got at least a chance to be cured of the plague of Nurgle, instead of the standard “bullet in the forehead” treatment and before the restoration of Faith throughout the Imperium, the living demigod, His Avenging Son is with us again!). Guilliman even kicked the Custodians out of the Palace to work and began a “total war for the survival of humanity” and so far he is waging it successfully (the campaign to protect Ultramar from the Death Guard and operations in Paria Nexus confirm this).

[@garmonplays]

@@Ddarth_sidious this is true, I think sometimes we as fans take Guilliman and the Ultramarines for granted, seeing them as these burnished boys scouts who can do no wrong. But the reality as we see from the siege of terra and plague wars series is that actually the Ultramarines in a way capture everything the Emperor is trying to do with Humanity, and Guilliman in many ways is the most Human of the Primarchs. I suppose this In a way is why I like Perturabo as a traitor Primarch, he's not a moustache twirling villain and has a very human quality albeit flawed And you are right, some the best champions of the imperihm have come from the errant legions. Gabriel Loken is definitely my favorite 😁

[@brightestlight9462]

THE perfect 40k game isn't a thing a REALLY good shooter for 40k? sure but this is no more perfect than dawn of war 1 was (and a dawn of war 1 remaster/remake would be), or an actually good dow 3 that combines elements from 1 and 2 personally for it to be perfect, it would need to look like this, but be planetside 2 except 40k, with playtable eldar/dark eldar, orks, chaos space marines/daemons/guardsmen, and imperium. and play this smoothly

[@garmonplays]

@@brightestlight9462 yeh true but think about it as being perfect in the sense of being a solid well rounded game that be the foundation for future develop and building the online gaming side of the fanbase as well as capturing the soul of the game

[@Adnaan-Bread]

This is Space Marine 1 but on steroids, I cannot wait for this game! its been 10 years!

[@garmonplays]

Yes brother. Its been so long. But I think it will be worth the wait (hopefully)!

[@acerock013]

i really want this game to succeed. it looks like it has its head and its heart in all the right places and looks like a lot of fun for PVE Co-Op and PVP. I love the idea of customiznf my own Chaos MArines

[@garmonplays]

agreed bro. I honestly am impressed by how much effort the devs put into the game. The customization aspect is awesome, and the game looks beautiful. I am very optimistic

[@dean8525]

"I wanna see more of the gamee" Well if you stfu for 2 seconds and let the vid play out, you will see more of the game lmao.

[@TRC-1293]

Completely agree, this video was hard to watch. Just let the trailer play, then go back, pause at certain sections, and talk about it. Half the questions asked were answered literally 10 seconds later once he pressed play again

[@ReclusiarchLP]

The absolute classic red circle and arrow in thumbnail. Much wow!

[@garmonplays]

listen mate you can't go wrong with the classics eh.

[@francesccampos1343]

If this game goes well i guess they can always add new enemies(orks, necrons or maybe dark eldar, or expand chaos enemies/demons if they are not used a lot in this game), some new classes (librarian, techmarine, chaplain, apothecari) and weapons (frost/force axe, lightning claws, librarian scepter)... there's so much room to keep on with this game if they succeed, with full-on expansions or DLCs.

[@Ddarth_sidious]

10:59 - BRAVO, you a true 40k fan - coz you indicate Death Guard pre heresy color scheme (and almost unique helmet with single visor) pattern and didn't say it was Iron Warriors like some other 40k fans)

[@garmonplays]

bro to be fair I am biased, because Death Guard/ Dusk Raiders and Iron Warriors are my FAVORITES. Like I love their fighting doctrine and legion themes

[@TheMooseah]

At 9:20 In the upper right corner, those 3 symbols have me wondering if they took inspiration from Helldivers 2's samples concept. They even have similar colors, green, purple and orange!

[@garmonplays]

wow that's mad I didn't even notice that. Honestly It wouldn't surprise me if they did, like they've clearly taken inspiration from other FPS PVP game modes. A separate game mode for imperial guard modelled on Helldivers 2 would be kinda lit tho ngl, as the marine gameplay is basically just warzone but space marine edition

[@Ddarth_sidious]

7:34 that's primaris Gravis armour (something like a centurion and terminator armour make a baby by Belisarius Cawl's mastermind). The Gravis pattern of Mk.X Armour is more heavily protected and allows for a level of protection closer to Terminator Armour level, but with reduced mobility

[@garmonplays]

you are absolutely correct, I had to go and look this up after I uploaded the video, I got confused by the hood of the armor, which a lot of the chapter librarians wear for channeling their psychic ability. I guess I am biased, and I would've loved to see some heavy terminator armor, as that is my personal favorite battle plate.

[@Ddarth_sidious]

12:35 I didn't play space marine 1 multiplayer but saw some streams, you can capture "dreadnaught reinforcement" objective point and your team could field a dreadnaught into battle, one player will play AS dreadnaught, pretty sure chaos/renegade boys will have Helbrute as counter/analogies.

[@garmonplays]

Ahhh Ok gotcha I didnt know that. I also did not play space marine 1 multiplayer, as it was a bit before my time, so I guess it's kind of like a piloted AC-130 from warzone, a super heavy weapon that you use for a limited time?

[@Ddarth_sidious]

@@garmonplays Yep, or it's similar in some way as to play Jedi/Sith/Heroes in Star Wars battlefront 2 (Dice and old one) - a good boost to your team if you know how to handle it. Pretty sure dreadnaught was not for limited time, but until death of match ending - I remembering people playing dreads for like 10+ minutes in 1 session. And the mods for SM1 had even terminators and rare weapons like volkite/grav/phosphex etc. Pity that moders didn't make Custodes in all their glory their wargear and effectiveness is a force to be reckoned with.

[@garmonplays]

@@Ddarth_sidious omg custodians in the game would be glorious and terrifying. They would be so overpowered

[@Carbiniz3r]

How was darktide unplayable? I dont think iv had an issue running it across both my PC builds.

[@garmonplays]

bro seriously, for me I have a 3060 graphics card and an I-9 processor, and the online mode can be a little janky sometimes. It can settle down after a while, but honestly its not super great for me. What specs you working with?

[@brightestlight9462]

@@garmonplays is it still? i dont have as good specs as you, they've definitely made it run better lol

[@garmonplays]

@@brightestlight9462 it is actually noticeably better now, tried it today after work and its ok. But some maps can be a bit funky

[@Ddarth_sidious]

10:35 ofc you play loyalist chapters vs chaos/renegade space marine legions. BUT you could have some cosmetics like a pauldrons with Hydra Dominatus/Eye of Horus/Iron Hands logos etc as loyalist, purely cosmetic, you can't have "Nurgle blessings" as loyalist and purity seals as traitors.

[@garmonplays]

brooo, that it is a good point, like is the customization aspect unlimited, so could I be a choas - loyalist, that would be weird but could also make things a little spicier, I guess we will have to see, they do make it sound though like certain chapters are pre-determined to be either traitor or Loyalist, so I can't be a loyalist iron warrior unfortunately

[@Ddarth_sidious]

@@garmonplays Chaos loyalist is not 100% fake, there are black shields and death watch path for those who lost his battle brothers to heresy/madness or who managed to run out of their warp/chaos masters (very rare occasions), quite a lot of renegades still serve mankind in deathwatch

[@garmonplays]

@@Ddarth_sidious oh yeh true you can definitely have black shields and loyal Legionnaires from traitor legions. I'm more talking about like if you have a slaaneshi cultist that is also loyal to the emperor haha like imagine lol

[@Ddarth_sidious]

@@garmonplays There were like 1-2-3 named examples of full chaos marines trying to redeem themselves. 1) Slaanesh Emperors Children sword master allowed himself to be slain in battle by the hand of his former friend from a different legion - he understand where his legion is going and tried to quite this madness. 2) in Angron: The Red Angel Novel (from Arks of Omen side series) - there were 1 named Word Eaters character - Shâhka the Bloodless he has an amazing redemption ark - you should reed about his story. In the end a captured corrupted Astropath was used as a psychic bomb, swathing the world in the Emperor's holy light. As it swept over Shâhka, he was briefly cleansed of his corruption and madness. Realizing his mistakes and Angron's uncaring nature even as his body died, Shâhka happily said "Forgive" to the Emperor and gave the sign of the Aquila before exploding into red mist, what a way to go (and he DID return blood in his veins first time after centuries, he was alive near death once again, since siege of terra when he made a deal with daemon of Khorne). 3) some new converted Nurgle's champion from former Ultramarines (I do not remember his name too). He was very noble in normal life and one of the sisters of battle refuse to believe such noble and bright soul could submit to chaos so easily, for whole story she appealed to his benevolent qualities and reached out to the real Marine, realizing that he had become a champion of the plague, Ultramarine sacrificed himself in order to thwart the plans of the new master Nurgle and purified himself in the eyes of the Emperor and the Imperium (although most likely his soul was destroyed by Nurgle for such betrayal). And his sister also tried to push him into the pantheon of heroes in the sisterhood) There could be many more "redemption" arks, even the Emperor when possessing the body of Roboute Guilliman (Dark Imperium: Godblight) said that daemon primarch MORTARION could be saved and redeemed, but not now, now he must face consequences and wrath of his plague father that he choose over mankind's protector. Hell, even FREAKING Horus asked for forgiveness in the end and was delivered. The Emperor last word to His beloved son "I wait for you, and I forgive you."

[@garmonplays]

@@Ddarth_sidious haha all of these are true. It is definitely canon that fallen marines can be redeemed and as you have correctly put, you can indeed come out of the touch of chaos with newfound devotion to the Imperium. But still it would be unique to have a chaos marine with the symbols of chaos fighting for the imperium, because that implies a split allegiance e between chaos and the emperor. I know there are examples of some word bearers and inquisitors who try to use chaos against chaos, but a lot of the time these characters and either SUPER rare or extremely delusional

[@Lies-are-Life]

Not confirmed if you can choose a chapter. But in co op and eternal war, you can customise yourself to look like a diff chapter. And Beavh wears Gravis armor. Not cattaphractii. That Heresy era terminator plate that is rare af. Also, chaos your fighting is tzzeetch. Thousand Sons marines with cultists and tzangors.

[@garmonplays]

yeh, it looks like the symbols and colors are fully custom, so I agree u can pretty much make any chapter u want. also yeh I was wrong about it being cattaphractii armor, that was a mistake on my part. That makes more sense when looking at the game. Fighting some thousand sons marines in the campaign would be awesome.

[@poundsofslothcigars]

idk who told you that you can play a guard in a game called spacemarine lol

[@garmonplays]

look at the trailer though, they show cadians in like the first 30 seconds. I did hear there may be the option for it. However I do agree it is kinda weird to have it in there if it doesn't have its own dedicated game mode

[@poundsofslothcigars]

@@garmonplays would be cool to see but I doubt you can play as the guard, they'll definitely feature in cinematics and the sort but playable is a no imo

[@garmonplays]

@@poundsofslothcigars you're probably right ngl, it could be nice in a guard-specific online PVP loyalist vs traitor but they probs ain't gonna do that

[@JoseManuel-zj7sd]

Literally, there is no indication that you can play as a guardsman. That's just a cinematic for storytelling purposes, just like in the first ever trailer. If guards were playable, they would have just stated such.

[@garmonplays]

@@JoseManuel-zj7sd Well I don't know lets see. I'm not sure they would include it for no reason. They said more reveals will be coming in the future so maybe they will specify. Some guard would be cool tho ngl

[@bronybro1616]

Imagine if the DLC's (and i mean big expansions) bring whole new planets, with new missions and maps and maybe even enemies. Probably not, thats asking for destiny 2 but warhammer but a man can dream haha.

[@garmonplays]

bro if they do that I'm be spending 10,000+ hrs playing this game ngl. My social life bouta go nonexistent

[@Nod0nFire]

I wonder if he missed all the traitor legion iconography in the customization section

[@garmonplays]

nah I saw that, that's why I was curious about how much you can customize your marine. Like can you be a follower of Khorne but also a Loyalist or if that will be forbidden by the game

[@TripleXGames]

That is a Warhound Titan not a Dreadnaught

[@garmonplays]

huh, nah bro I think its a dreadnought, a warhound titan would be bigger with weird backwards legs

[@TripleXGames]

@@garmonplaysupon zooming in, I think your right. Its a Primaris Redemptor Dreadnaught. Just still used to the old models I guess

[@garmonplays]

@@TripleXGames no probs my g. Honestly, I wish they would include some titans in the game mode, that would be too epic. The Warhound Titan is also my favorite ngl. The steam punk theme of them is clean

[@jakobthepeacekeeperlaviera6271]

I can see it already. Bulwark and heavy combo. Vanguard/sniper combo

[@garmonplays]

bro that's true ngl. That combo might be a vibe. That grapple ability gonna be broken for small maps though

it is pretty big ngl
