Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 NEW Extended Gameplay

[@Raynsideways]

Seeing those poor guardsmen squads standing their ground as they're torn to pieces really breaks my heart. They barely stood a chance. I can tell already I'm gonna end up making it my mission to save these squads before they're wiped out. An Astartes wouldn't just let guardsmen be slaughtered if he could stop it.

The Guardsmen' behaviour needs to be upped more. They're supposed to be Cadians, highly disciplined soldiers. Some scenes show they don't really know what to do and why they are there.

[@keyne444]

@@scorpion40k ah yes, the nu-Cadians, so to speak. Would also explain the very first scene.

[@RealmDesigner]

"Highly disciplined" - Imperial propaganda. When in reality the Guard includes the highly disicplined right through to child soliders and everything in between.

[@DaemonKeido]

@@keyne444 Also, it doesn't matter how well trained the Cadians are, some soldiers will simply BREAK under immense stress. And I can't think of many more stressful events than invasion from something as universally fatal as Tyranids.

[@msf2000]

Perhaps Titus arrived after the invasion has been ongoing for a long time, so this could be the remnants of the Cadian troops that survived the battles, battered and low on supplies or something

[@Luizguilherme-iz9yl]

man the atmosphere is PERFECT! from the details of the guardsmen being executed to the lack of confidence titus has on his squad and vice versa, among other things, P E R F E C T, i am loving this so much guys!

[@ham2m693]

The biggest reason why I like this game is that the firepower of Guardsman and other space-marine is actually meaningful, significant. You can see in the video the Tayranids often die from being hit by the guardsmans' lasgun, and you even can hear they're saying "Direct hit!" at 22:40 What it means to me, is "I am not alone. By my side the Guardsmen are standing, and I am standing beside them." , (Of course, also including my squad Marines.) So I can feel that "I'm fighting with my brothers in arms" in this game! Not like Call of Duty/Battlefield Single campaign which is forcing the player to become a Rambo the One man army, despite presence of teammates! This is huge to me. Now I'm not alone. I don't have to feel lonely. I'm not the only one who's fighting. Guardsmen and other space-marines in my squad are no more useless, They are truely meaningful fellow soldier and teammates who's fighting for same thing as mine. As they stand by me, I stand by them. For the first time I finally got a colleague, it doesn't matter they're actually made with 1 and 0. I still see the limitations of Guardsmans' AI, such as just standing still without any react even they're in a close engagement, but they are also still very attractive as living fellow soldiers, not as background NPCs.

[@nutyyyy]

It helps that the game can handle having a lot of enemies at once. So sure the guard can shoot a lot but there's plenty more to take their place.

[@off6848]

Lasguns are supposed to be equal to a contemporary .50BMG in terms of power according to lore Lasguns bounce on even Gaunts muchless larger Tyranids

[@StoicNatsoc]

My bro, you just said the exact same words i felt each time i played a game where i felt alone. i keep fighting like a lion, but each time my npcs comrades kept dying in droves without doing damage. its like AVP2 game all over again, i tried so hard to save my brother marines.

[@natty4316]

It sounds like you’re actually very lonely in real life though

[@StoicNatsoc]

[@daver4435]

It appears that we will not only be fighting tyranids but at the very end of this footage it looks like the Thousand Sons arrive. Fighting chaos marines and nids in the same game would be absolutely outstanding. This will be the first game I will preorder in a long, long…long time.

[@TR-ut3yh]

Where did you see Thosand Sons?

[@paulreid5746]

Yup!! If you check around online it has been confirmed with screenshots the Thousand Sons are confirmed to be in the game as antagonists!

[@rogerthehomunculus4988]

I wasn't aware, and honestly, I prefer an original Legion as CSM enemies than a random warband. The Chosen of Nemeroth aren't much memorable, because there is no other reference of them in the 40k universe. And. PSYKERS! -> IS TITUS REALLY TAINTED BY THE WARP? WILL HE RESIST THE THOUSAND SONS AS HE RESISTED NEMEROTH?!?!

To be fair, "we fight an alien horde then CSM show up" is already a cliche.

[@irrelevant9023]

6:24 tank turns the barrel back so it doesn't get damaged from ramming the door... Good Foreshadowing

[@wolfheardt4169]

Looks fantastic, but I have 1 comment about it. When SM and guard were falling back into the bunker, Tyrannids just stopped and watched the door close on them. It would be FAR cooler if the horde kept running and crawling it way into the bunker while doors were closing. Would have been great for the atmosphere

[@M0j0J0j0]

I thought the Warrior stops and gives a STOP command. Kinda like the attack command one gives in the first demo.

[@paulreid5746]

Looks absolutely fantastic. Definitely the best 40k game since the original based on looks alone. Also, Love that the Thousand Sons are in the game as the Chaos faction! (Confirmed via screenshots posted by Warhammer)

[@cianbierd-hughes2153]

A game where you could choose from the different space marine chapters would be immense.

[@adventofknowledge]

Immense and not very immersive, there would be almost no chapter specific dialogue, sure its doable but the chance of a company putting that much resources into a 40k video game is extremely low. Not unless it can be proven too the AAA industry that its worth it. Which of course means, unless they can turn it into a cash cow, they wont care.

[@TR-ut3yh]

An MMO spanning the crusade and heresy would be mind blowing

[@schnitzelfritzel6287]

@@adventofknowledge I am just hoping for some sort of modding like in space marine 1. Was plenty of black templar mods and such. I mostly just used the reskin mods for the helmet alone (althought it has been confirmed that you can wear the helmet if you so choose) but it would be cool to see imperial fist recolor mod.

[@memosanchez8916]

There already is one it’s called “the lost crusade “

[@Sandblaze1]

A deathwatch game would be great for that

[@skboog]

I feel like the guardsmen are a huge part in regards to the immersion this game could have, it is literally a reflection of us in the 40k universe. I hope the devs realize and add more dynamic into the guardsmen like even just walking past them they would be in awe of a space marine and probably whisper or kneel or some other action, other people have mentioned combat and I agree but also feel like once the combat is over they would again offer praise and have some sort of reaction to winning the fight, I hope that is included especially for the ones that will go through the game trying to save every guardsmen possible.

[@NikBesko]

in the one part they did kneel when he walked by pretty cool

[@RTF8RH]

It was quite well done in the original, where guardsmen thanked Titus for their lives. One even said “I got to see a space marine before the end”

[@billcipher4996]

guardsmen AI, heavier sounds for the space marine's movements and weaponry (chainsword ready got me thinking this), but it looks phenomenal otherwise! hope we get to see a huge variety of bioforms, not just gaunts and warriors

[@lonecolamarine]

Much like the marines themselves... in a dark moment for video games, the Space Marines arrive and let hope burn just a little bit longer. I mean holy cow, they actually just took SM1, refined the combat a little, and gave it to us in 4k. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

[@gabrielmeth4844]

Watching this, there was a moment where I thought, 'By the Emperor, they just *don't stop coming*!' This absolutely captures the feel of a Tyranid invasion; ceaseless, unrelenting numbers that wear the heart, and your ammo Xp

[@steptoeedwall2349]

I love all the backgrounds, and swarms constantly drifting across the skies. All the grim dark architecture was really well done, and things feel big...and heavy. I also love that Space Marines are not just consummate warriors, but they're simply able to do things normal humans can, like lifting really heavy objects out of the way.

[@wereview8665]

The best thing about this is it ended where the 1st trailer ended. Pulling out the Tyranid head. That’s love and respect for fans.

[@LewisJohnsonIII]

Personally feel like they should have guardsmen spawn and keep coming to the combat area to cover you. In theory, you're in between infinite guardsmen and infinite tyranids. But u only see like 10 guards in your area, they die, then your all alone in the fighting. Guards need better mechanics to hold a position well and cover you as you proceed through the missions. Not just random squads who stand out in the open and get cutt down as you melee about

[@shisho_sos8093]

The Gargoyles flying at the background feels like seeing The Fish Swarm in the Sea, Its both a spectacular and a horrific sight

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

21:35 that lone Guardsman singlehandedly fought an entire swarm of tyranids and is still standing. I think we found the lost Primarch.

[@thecarnagecreator3691]

This looks awesome. It's like you can feel the weight in the bullets and melee attacks. I am defiantly going to keep my eye open for when this comes out. As long as it dose not pull a 2077 it will likely be game of the year. edited: grammar

[@Subawu-x2r]

This game is a good stage for the development of the warhammer universe , but I think that the game of the year will be a more commercial project or a more convenient game for the mass consumer. If you want to understand the epic nature of this game, you still need to be a fan of this Universe , an ordinary player, unfortunately, cannot understand the power of the Astartes, Astra Militarum and the degree of threat hanging over the galaxy of the distant and dark future For the Emperor

[@VeryDeathlyShiny]

It would make a lot more sense for Guilliman to be the loyalist primarch to roll up in the situation you hypothesized. A) Guilliman and Johnson are the only two confirmed alive/active loyalist primarch. B) GW is likely keeping Russ in their pocket for when they make their move Valdor in his little pocket dimension. The two of them are hinted at working towards the game goal, with differeing objectives. Also they share a special pair of weapons gifted to them personally by The Emperor. C) Guilliman has already faught magnus once (on Luna, after they came through the webway gate) and he re-broke his brother's spine. D) Guilliman already has lore with him combating tyranids with his Indomitus Crusade. E) Space Marine I & II utilizes the ultramarines. It would make sense for their - in lore, alive and active - Primarch to be the one that shows up out of any of them. Honestly, ANY primarch that shows up would be dope. But if

I know the game is still in development but the only critique I have rn is how light the steps sound and by the God emperor whenever those space Marines walk on stairs, the stairs should collapse inwards

[@DaemonKeido]

I wonder if most Imperial worlds are designed with Astartes weight in mind. I agree that some stairs should have damage, but perhaps not as much as you want. Another way to look at it is "can this structure support a tank rolling across it?" because that is a MUCH more likely event than Astartes footsteps.
