This was a surprise. Unexpected but a welcome surprise. A decade later sequel. First one was awesome

I j***** my pants when I saw this in my youtube recommendations. I am a huge Warhammer 40000 nerd and I love the absolute shit out of the Dawn Of War series and I really REALLY liked the original Space Marine. I had almost given up hope that a sequel would be made since the original game ends on a cliffhanger.

I am really happy to see Captain Titus return, though looking at his armour it looks like he has been demoted to the rank of Lieutenant but he has become a Primaris Marine.

I really hope this game does not suck, but then it is being published by Focus so that's still a legit concern.

Not a nerd but i do like the lore. It was TotalBiscuit's "WTF is" video that introduced me to the first game and 40K in general. The hybrid shooter/hack-slash was so well done.

You should try playing the Dawn Of War series.

IMO it's a must play for anyone who is interested in Warhammer 40000.

I didnt read the title at first and at first with the tyranids i thought this was space hulk 3. But then I thought, Space hulk is never in an open environment game. I couldnt believe my eyes when it said Space Marine 2. Relic nailed the gameplay of the first one, this would be good.

Well, except Relic won't be developing this one. This is being developed by Saber Interactive and being published by Focus.

Unlike Sega (or THQ), Focus has a reputation of being a AA publisher, so I don't know how this will turn out. But I hope it will be good.

Yeah, I watched this. My expectations are sky high. Also trailers for other Warhammer games have been released.

Just nitpicking here a little:
1. Not sold on the VA from what's been shown so far. Mark Strong made Titus in the first.
2. The heavy bolter needs more oomph, bolter as well.

But its still development footage, so lets see.

Mark Strong is now an A-grade Hollywood actor. Back during SM1 he was relatively low tier. I don't think they can afford to hire him now.
2. The heavy bolter needs more oomph, bolter as well.
Yeah, I am not sure if the sound is recorded like that or just badly mixed. Let's hope the sound is better on release.

Plus another nitpick I have is that his movements look too robotic. The power armour is not supposed to hinder movements by much.

Holy shit this looks good! Seeing it first time. Looks like combination of Doom+Darksiders+DMC? The suit looks like one of characters from Unreal Tournament too. I have not played any Warhammer game till now but this one really looking good.
